First Easter Egg Hunt-March 7, 2012

Lauren hosted an Easter egg hunt for all the little kiddies!  We had a great time.  Although you didn't hunt eggs, you had fun being pushed around in the little car!  I know next year you are going to be running around keeping up with all the other little kids to get your eggs! 

First Boo Boo-March 28, 2012

Your Daddy was keeping you tonight while I began my first night at choir practice.  I was about 1/4 of a mile down the road and called home to make sure he knew how to warm up your baby food because this was the first time he had fed you by himself and he was nervous.  When I called all I could hear was you screaming and he just said "get home now. She fell out of the high chair!"  I have never driven so fast in my life and think I actually skid tires going in the car port. 

You were screaming and just reached for me when I walked in. You were okay after a few minutes but your Daddy was very upset and shook up the rest of the night!  

He said he checked your tray but didn't buckle you in because we never have done that.  The tray has always fit tight and we've never worried about you coming out.  Lesson learned to us to strap you in from now on!  He turned around to warm your baby food and heard you hit.  He said when he looked you were just laying face down on the hard wood floor and it scared him to death. 

Needless to say, you weaseled your way in our bed to sleep with us again!  Thank the Lord you are okay!  You have a small bruise above your left eye but it should be gone in a few days!

6 Month check-up-March 19, 2012

Your 6 month check up was a week and a half after you turned 6 months.  It just worked out that way.  We just knew you were going to be 20 pounds, but you were 19 pounds even and were 26 inches long!  You are now in the 75th percentile for height and 90th percentile for weight!  You are soo healthy and we LOVE those little chunky thighs!  You had to have shots at your appointment and you took them like a champ.  Daddy didn't get to go with us this time. You let out one little wimper and that was it!  The doctor told me I should start baby food with you, which I have, but I only give it to you once a day right now and he also said I could introduce a sippy cup now.  We will see how both go. 

We LOVE YOU to the moon and back and all the space in between!

Dying Easter Eggs-March 17 2012

Dying your first Easter eggs for my Easter tree! We made an egg for everyone in our immediate family!  It turned out cute but it will be a lot more fun to make when you can help!

Happy St. Patrick's Day-March 17, 2012

6-18 Month Doodlebugs-March 16, 2012

Considering you are over 6 months old, your 0-6 month paci's are looking a little too small for your mouth.  I bought you some 6-18 month paci's today!  You have figured out in the last week how to put your paci back in your mouth by yourself when it falls out, although you don't do this when you are sleeping.  Most times it ends up backwards!  You are so precious!

Eating Baby food first time! March 16, 2012

Today was a big day!  You tried your first baby food....peas!!!  You were very unsure about the taste and texture, but you ate the whole jar!  After a few bites you decided it wasn't too bad after all and I agree.  I told myself when I started you on baby food that I would taste everything before I fed it to you and other than looking bad, it tasted just like peas!
