A week at G-ma & pa's house...

For the last week you have been slumbering at your Grandparents house in Nebraska. For three of those days you were without your mommy and daddy. Your grandma D came and picked you up from Kansas and took you to hang out with them over Spring Break. While mommy and daddy were at work, you were having a blast! You visited your great grandma in Omaha, witnessed your Aunt Shannon get married, and were adored for days straight by lots of your family. We came down on Friday to hang out for the weekend and bring you back home. Here are some pics of Aunt Shannon's wedding...I'm so glad you were able to be apart of it:)

Sunny Days..

Spring is near and the weather is starting to warm up. I'm excited to start hanging outside with you. You are getting to be such a big girl. One of my favorite part of the days is when I wake up in the morning to you laying in your co-sleeper bed talking up a storm. Its the best! You are just babbling away holding your feet. I LOVE IT. What a sweet sound to start my day. Maybe one of these days I'll catch it on video.

Photographs by Aunt Kate

Your aunties came to visit us recently and your aunt Kate took some great pictures of you:) We were so happy to have them around and are always sad when they have to go back to Nebraska. Thanks Aunt Kate for the great shots.

First Neighborhood Walk

Tonight your dad, you, and I went on a walk around our neighborhood. It was the first time that it's been nice enough outside for us to take you on a walk. You were relaxed during the walk and seemed to enjoy yourself:)








On another note, tummy time has been going significantly better. You last a lot longer on that belly of yours and you seem happy while doing it:)








And then theres always the random happy bumbo pictures....

Grabbin, Teethin, & Rollin...

It is month three and quite a few changes are taking place. First thing you did that amazed me was this: you were sitting in your pink bumbo chair. I placed a rattle between your legs...I didn't put it in your grasp like I usually do... I walked into the kitchen and when I walked back to the living room, you had picked up the rattle and were holding it up in your little hand. Of course I had to capture this moment:



This month you are already growing some pearly whites. There is a little bud growing on the front bottom right (my left). There has been a white spot there for awhile, but your now in the full swing of things with the side effects: Hard core drool, gnawing, and a bit of fussiness. We feel sad for you because you seem so uncomfortable. You love baby einstein (First Moves) which distracts you from it, and of course mommy and daddy's silliness helps to ease your pain:) Below are so pics of your drollness and of course you cute self:


And for the rolling... You rolled over on 2/17/09 @ 4:21 p.m. (same time you were born:) I was practicing with you, rolling from your tummy to your back. Every time you got fussy on your tummy I rolled you over. You then decided to roll from your tummy to your back on your own. I was so excited that I started clapping and cheering. You got so freaked out about my enthusiasm that you started crying. It took me like 10 minutes to get you out of the funk. Initially after you stopped crying, you still seemed mad and looked at me with some serious eyes. You finally broke the tension with a smile:) You haven't rolled over since. Guess I need to be less dramatic next time.




p.s. Mommy's favorite talk show is playing in the background. It's ELLEN:)
