Almost 4 Months Old!

I had my 4 month doctor's appointment a little early because I will be having fun in the sun for my 4 month celebration! I am so excited to ride on a plane for the first time, go to the beach for the first time, and swim in the pool for the first time! Wanted to update everyone on my 4 month stats before I leave for Florida: 15 lbs 4 ozs ( 85%) and 27 inches long (99%)! I also had to get my 4 month shots...I was such a good girl! Well, I better get packing...I will have to let everyone know all about my Florida vacation when I get home!

Love,

P.S. Attached are pictures of me looking all grown up in jeans, me with Sophie the Giraffe, me with my Christmas tree, me in my flower hat, and me with my doll! Also, the video is of me talking to you!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Wow...time flies when you are having fun! So sorry I am just saying Merry Christmas when it is time to say Happy New Year! Also, I can't believe I am just giving my 2 month stats when it is time to tell my 3 month stats! My 2 month stats: 25 inches long and 13 lbs and then my 3 month stats: 26 1/4 inches long and 13 lbs 14 ozs! I have been so busy growing and learning! I have also been such a good girl for my shots! I had a very Merry Christmas and I don't know if I will be up at midnight tonight or not to bring in the New Year! I love to play with my dolls, enjoy my new walker, can't get enough jumping in my Johnny Jump Up, and I am really good at holding up my head while pushing with my hands during tummy time! I will attach some pictures of how much I have grown and some of my new tricks!

Happy New Year!

Love,

P.S. I will try to update my blog more often in 2010 ; )

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I had so much fun!

And I turned 2 months today! Can everyone believe it? Look at this video and pictures and see how big I'm getting! But 2 months also means I'm back at the doctor tomorrow and I have to get shots! I'll make sure to let everyone know all my stats after that though...

I wanted to show everyone a new trick I'm working on...




It isn't quite perfect but give me a few weeks and I'll have it down.



Look at me! Just like daddy!



















Yep, still a good-looking baby!

One Month Old!

I'm getting so old. On Thursday I turned one month old. Yep, a whole month. And not only that but I had my one month doctor's appointment and put up some staggering numbers. Due to the 4 chins I've added I weighed 10 lbs and 10 oz (i was 7 lbs and 1 oz when i left hospital) and I was 23 1/2 inches long. Already an overachiever that is 98% for my age in height and 92% in weight.















And Halloween was quite fun. Not only did I get a ton of attention from all the girls but I got to wear a ton of different strange costumes including a cow, sunflower, carrot, and bumblebee!

What is this thing in my mouth?!?!?!?

Okay... My parents put this crazy thing in my mouth. Check out the video to see what happens:





P.S. I fell asleep immediately after this video. It was like magic.

Fun Weekend

I had a super fun weekend! On Friday I hung out with mom and dad and played all night long! Then on Saturday Mimi and Poppy brought all the little Hayes girls over and we hung out and I slept all day long. Then Saturday night I went out on an adventure with mom and dad but I pretty much slept through the whole thing. That meant I had tons of energy to stay up and party with mom and dad Saturday night! This morning we went to church. I decided to make little mouse noises for the end of the service to embarrass my parents, I was quite amused with myself. Then after that Mimi and Poppy spoiled me all day. We cuddled and slept and went on a walk and we even went on an adventure to TJ Maxx and Kohl's! I didn't get to go inside but I did get to hang out with Poppy in the car!






Also, I think I have a new trick. I'm getting better at smiling. I really show it with my eyes but sometimes get confused with my mouth. Hopefully I'll have it mastered soon so that I can smile all the time!
