Catch Up

There's quite a bit to catch you up on in my world. But, I am very sleepy right now so I'm telling Mom to hurry it up with the pictures so I can go night night. More pictures will follow soon, I promise. This is what's going on...my Grandma Shauna came to visit me, which was a ton-o-fun! I'm sitting up now (mostly by myself). I went to So. Cal. with my Mom and Dad over the holiday weekend and had a ton more fun. I got to see so much family....even Aunt Kelly and cousin Jack came up to see me from San Diego, and I got to see both my Grandmas and two of my Grandpas. I was spoiled with love and attention!! Unitl next time....enjoy two of my pictures from turning 5 months old!!

Happy Birthday!!

Today is my Dad's birthday and my Rachel's birthday!! Crazy huh? I hope that both of them have a great day today!! My Mom and I got my Dad a new guitar and I'm not allowed to say what we got my Rachel yet cuz we haven't mailed it (my Mom is a slacker). She says that we're doing that today. My Mom says that she posted these pictures because we really didn't need to get my Dad a gift. She says I'm his gift. So these pictures are just to remind him of how tiny I was. My Mom loves them because she can tell in his face how quickly he fell in love with me. My Mom is super sappy today. Anyhoo....Happy Birthday Dad and Rachel!!

I still like to sleep like this. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and my Dad comes and gets me. He lets me sleep like this still until morning. He's very warm and cozy.

My Mom says he's in love.

My Mom says that this is the first time he held me and he was trying not to cry in front of all the women in the room.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

My Dad Rocks!

Literally, my Dad ROCKS!! I love it when he plays me the guitar. I just laugh and laugh. I'm his number one groupie...my Mom says I'm his only groupie. I try to tell him that he needs to play me "eensy weensy spider" but he doesn't understand all the squealing I do. My Uncle Dan plays me the guitar too. He's funny. When I laugh, he laughs. Actually, he laughs at ANYTHING I do. Apparently, he's lacking sufficient entertainment in his life. Uncle Dan comes to visit me at least once a week. He's my fav!!!

My Mom says I should let you know that I am laughing in this picture...not crying or screaming.

I'm trying to show my Dad that I want him to play "eensy weensy spider" for me but he still doesn't get it. I guess I don't do it as good as my Mom does. Whatever he plays is good enough for me though.

My Dad Rocks!!!

#2 & #3

As promised here are #2 and #3 of my favorite things being a BIG 4 month old. I no longer like my "play gym". I need to be sitting up seeing what is going on around me. So my Mom and Dad wised up and got me these:

This is my "jumper". My Aunt Kelly gave it to my Mom and Dad before she moved. She's pretty smart because I LOVE IT!! I sit in it everyday and watch my Mom get ready for the day and sometimes I "hang" out in the office with my Dad while he gets work done. Thanks Aunt Kelly...

This is my "walker". This is a genius invention. I can spend FOREVER in here. See that thing I'm holding onto in the picutre...I love to bite on that..it is heaven to my gums.

And just in case you forgot #3, my Mom made me re-post another picture of my ducky tub. She says its closer up and you can see how cute I am!

So that's it...those are my 3 favorite things for 4 months!!

My 4 Month Loves

I have three new loves. This is my first. My new rubber ducky bath tub!! I LOVE it!! Stay tuned for number two and three.....

I'M LATE!!! I'M SORRY!!!

I'm a slacker and I'm sorry for not posting last week!! For Christmas, I got a cold and an ear infection so I wasn't feeling up to it. And, those antibiotics did not like my gut:( But, I'm over it now and all is well with my gut!! I went to the pediatrician today and I now weigh 16 pounds & 2 1/2 ounces. I am also 26 inches long!! My Mom says I'm getting too big too fast! You should see my cousin Jack though...I'm just trying to catch up to him.

My first Christmas was just another day!! All except my Mom kept getting emotional...she teared up and cried for two days STRAIGHT!! My Dad and I didn't know what to do!! She says they were tears of joy. She never dreamed she would ever have a baby for Christmas and she kept telling my Dad over and over and over again how very lucky they are to have me. And, how very grateful they are for my Rachel. Speaking of my Rachel...thanks for the books. I love them. My Mom reads to me every night and I love it....so it is the perfect gift. Thank you!!

New Year's ....what's that? My Mom, Dad and I went out for a steak dinner and we watched a movie. I was asleep by the time 2009 got here though. I don't even know what 2009 is!! So, what's the big whoop?!?

My Aunt Mary came and visited me again over the weekend. She's fun. Her hair is growing back now and it's longer than mine!! Not too long ago I had a ton more hair than she did!! Anyhow, my Grandma Dee and Grandpa Marv are coming to visit me this weekend...my Mom says I need to rest up for their visit...cuz we're gonna P-A-R-T-Y!!! Man, my Mom is funny!!

HAPPY 2009 EVERYONE!!!!

Merry Christmas!!

My Dad tells me that today is Christmas Eve and I'd better get to updating my blog....so I'm doing what I'm told...for now! We are staying at home this year. My Mom and Dad say this is the firt time in their 7 year marriage that they've spent Christmas without spending it with one of their families. We are suppose to be starting our own family traditions. I don't know what that means. Anyhow, my Mom has taken some pictures.....

This was taken after what my Mom calls "Christmas Sunday". Which means...the Sunday before Christmas. Both my Dad and I were sick and she made us go to church because it was "CHRISTMAS SUNDAY!!!" We only went to one hour, so she was somewhat forgiven for making us go to church.

I'm not looking at the camera, but don't my Mom and Dad look cute?

Me and my favorite guy.

It's hard to see the fever blister under my Dad's nose, but it's there!!

My Mom and I on "Christmas Sunday".

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
