Here is me and Great Grandma Jan meeting for the very first time! I was a really good girl for Grandma and liked sitting with her. I can't wait to see her again and hopefully it won't be too long.
Grandap Doug holding us both! That gets tiring!
I got tired halfway through the day and decided to take a snooze with Daddy.
I was lucky and got to see Great Grandma Connie again too! We enjoyed seeing everyone!
After sitting on Santa's lap, I was pooped out! That is a new experience. I was really good though and the only bad thing I did was try to pull his beard off! He said that I was a good girl though. Guess I will be getting lots of good presents for my first Christmas!
I am getting so big now! I am currently working on sitting up by myself and am only a couple days away from crawling. I get up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth. I move my legs, but haven't quite gotten the hand movements down yet. I'm so close! Mommy says she doesn't need me to be mobile yet. Silly Mommy! I will try to post again soon. 
A couple of days ago, I got to try my first rice cereal! I hadn't been sleeping very well at night and so Mommy thought it maybe because I was getting humgry. It took me a little while to get the hang of working my tongue, and I'm still learning, but I'm doing better! I have been eating a little just before bed every night.
Although Daddy wasn't here to see me eat my cereal, Grandma took a really cute video of my first time! Here it is....
Thanksgiving is now over and today was the day we had to say bye-bye to Daddy. He has to go back home to go to work. He will be coming back in the middle of December to spend time here for Christmas though. This is Eli and I giving Daddy lots of hugs and kisses before our drive to the airport. This will be the longest time that Daddy and I will be seperated since I was born. Eli will miss him too. The whole drive home from the airport after dropping Daddy off, Eli cried, "Oh no, Mommy!!! DADDY!" He thought we forgot him there! See you in a few weeks Daddy!
Mommy helped me open my first Christmas presents on Friday! I got pretty outfit and a minnie mouse stuffed toy. They were from Aunt Becky. I had lots of fun meeting her for the first time. The picture below is one of Elijah and I with Aunt Becky.
Well, lately I have been working on holding rattles and sitting up. I'm not doing too well at either yet, but Great Grandpa and Grandma say that I have really strong legs! I love to stand on people's laps when they hold me. I love to bounce up and down on laps too. It makes me giggle sometimes. Another sure way to get me to laugh is to play patty cake with me!
When you look at these two pictures, what do you notice first??....... Well, if you say my big blue eyes, then you are just like all the strangers that I come across. I am constantly getting comments on my BIG BLUE eyes! Everyone thinks they are beautiful. And then, the second thing everyone notices is my two teeth. They say I look too small to have 2 teeth already.
This is me and Eli in our Halloween costumes! We went trick-or-treating at the mall and had lots of fun! Grandma Kathy made Eli's elephant costume and my flower costume. But, I am one really lucky girl cause I got to change outfits! I got 2 costumes this year! My Great-Great Grandma Helen bought this super cute dalmation outfit for my first Halloween! I'm pretty special and my first Halloween was a great one!
Well, as most of you know, tomorrow I am turning 4 months old already! Yesterday I went in for my 4 month check up and here are my new stats:
Mommy just never gets tired of my smiles! She can't help but take lots of smiley pictures of me either. I don't laugh a whole lot, but I am mastering the art of grins!
Look at how well I can support my weight and push-up! I am a strong little girl! Today is my 17 week birthday. Can you believe that I will be 4 months old on Sunday?!! I'm practically a woman now.
Sorry this picture looks a bit funny. When Mommy took it, it was really blurry and way to bright. So she tried to darken and sharpen it because she wanted you all to see my beautiful smile! Look how my blue eyes twinkle when I smile! Mommy cries almost every single time that I smile at her like this. I get so excited when I smile, I let out coo's and I even snort sometimes!
Mommy loves this picture of me wrapped in my towel! Look at my chubby cheeks and my cute dimple! Daddy and Mommy always say, "We're gonna have the beat boys off with a bat when you get older!" Hmmmm.... What does that mean?!
Here is Grandma Kathy, Eli and I posing for a picture before Grandma had to go home. Mommy and Daddy didn't get many pictures of us with Grandma Kathy, so I stole this one from Grandma's blog. We had so much fun and the time just flew by! 
Okay, I know, I know. My Grandma Kathy is here and I am posting pictures of me and Mommy. It seems like we've been taking lots of photos, but apparently they have been on Grandma Kathy's camera. I promise we'll take more and post some soon! But, what do you think, do I look like Mommy??
This is the pretty purple blanket that Grandma Kathy made for me with butterflies on it! She took the design from the butterflies on my bedroom walls and put it on my blankie!
This is the care bear that she made for me too! She made Eli one a couple of years ago, which is the blue one, and mine is the pink. Aren't they cute!
I am very good at focusing on objects now and seem to be a "ham" in front of the camera as much as my big brother is.
Here is a picture of the three of us together. See more pictures on Elijah's blog!
Oh my goodness!! Since my last post, I have been busy growing! This week I have liked to eat a lot! When I say a lot, I mean that sometimes I will eat 6-8 ounces of milk in 3 hours!! That is a lot for a little girl like me to eat! Mommy is having a hard time keeping up with me. I'm really making her work hard and stay on her toes! Daddy says he thinks that I am getting chubbier too, hehe!
Although, these pictures show me sleeping, it is NOT my favorite thing to do. In fact, I have been sleeping less. I used to take an afternoon nap from 11:30 to 3:00 and then from 7:00-10:00 in the evening. I do not sleep in the evening anymore, but I finally sleep through the night!! I have slept through the night for the last week. And I am good at it too!! I sleep from 10:00 pm- 7:00 am!!!! That's a long time! Mommy still gets up a few times through the night to make sure that I have food in the morning, cause I eat BIG breakfasts, but she is not complaining about my sleep habits!
Also, I got my first tooth already! Yes, I was 12 weeks old. Not even 3 months old yet! I beat big brother Elijah in getting teeth first! Eli got his first tooth at 14 weeks. Daddy and Mommy think that maybe that is why I have been a little cranky and wanting to eat all the time.
Mommy, Eli and me were getting ready to go to a diaper party at Daddy's work yesterday. It was pretty cold and rainy outside, so Mommy put me in this cute jogging suit and took some pictures. She thinks I am pretty adorable, and can you believe that I get cuter everyday!?
Oh No! It's been almost 2 weeks since I last posted new pictures! I am so sorry... I haven't been doing much lately, but here are some pictures of me this morning.
I got a bath this morning, after Eli did. I really like my bath time, and so does Elijah. Every time Mommy gets my bath ready, Eli will pull a chair over to the counter and get ready to help! My favorite part of bath time is when I get to lay on my tummy and get my back rubbed! You can see how small I still am by comparing me to Mommy's arm in the picture to the right. When we are out and about, the majority of people guess that I am about 1 month old. 
During bath time, Eli had to come in and sneak a kiss!
Elijah told me about this really cool gym that he used to play with when he was my age. S, Mommy washed it up and brought it out for me to play with. I didn't like it much, unless the music was playing. Eli really had fun teaching me the ropes on how to play with it and push the button to get the music to play. I can't do it yet, but maybe in a couple of months!
YAY for me! I smiled yesterday for the first time on purpose! It's not always when I am looking at Mommy or Daddy, but I smile when Mommy talks to me.... She says some pretty silly things sometimes and talks funny too, but I like it a lot! There will be lots more smiles where this one came from!
Eli really likes to pose for pictures with me. My face kinda shows that I am not too enthusiastic about taking a picture at the moment. Let me assure you that this is NOT how I feel about my big brother! I love him a lot.
This is how I show Mommy that I am hungry... Other than screaming at the top of my lungs and pouting. I am the BEST at sticking my lower lip out and frowning when I am not happy. Mommy hates it when I am unhappy, but she laughs when I give her "the lip."
Look how alert I am! Mommy can't get over how beautiful I am with my gigantic big blue eyes.
