Rolling Rolling Rolling!

With no help from Mom or Dad.. I woke up from my nap, pushed myself up and then rolled over from tummy to back.. Watch out guys.. I'm on a roll!

Look at me in my CRIB

For the last four months, I have spent most of my naps and bedtime on a warm chest..

 

Who wouldn't want to sleep here.. it's warm.. it's close to food ... I can snuggle.. 

 

Often Myia the cat joins in too.. 

Mom doesn't get much.. well actually Mom gets nothing done.. but who needs to brush their teeth?

Now with Mom going back to work and me to school, Mom decided it was time that I slept in the crib.

At first I didn't understand why Mom wasn't picking me up?

So I gave her the stare down.

Then I reached out to her..

I started off in the middle but you can see how I moved over to Mommy. 

I gave up on Mommy and soon fell asleep.. just whimpering a bit (i think Mommy shed a tear too!)

 

I woke up a bit confused ... 

 

but happy as ever.. 

Brrrrr!

Uncle Scott visited me before heading back to the West Coast. 

He makes lots of funny faces!

 

He gave me a bottle, help Dad set up my jumper and played with me! 

Tummy time is more fun when looking at myself!

Grandma Pat + Poppie visited this month but Mom was taking some time off and forgot to get a picture.. silly Mommy!

Who are you looking at Mr. Sun? I can take you down!

I love when I can see myself on Mom's camera phone.

 

It's even better, when Mom takes a video and then I get to watch it!

 

Nana + Grandpa Pat stopped by for the day to give Mom a break while Daddy was away at work. 

 

Check out my third eye? 

Just chilling out with Dad!

 

I love to read books and I can turn the pages!

 

I can't touch the floor just yet but I love playing in my bouncer!

A Toast to 2013

A Toast to 2013

In 2012 we celebrated nine years of being together of which two married; we became a "family" with the birth of Abriella; I gained and lost 40 lbs; while David grew and shaved off 10 lbs of facial hair; we moved once again to 4389 Braeburn; David sold wobbly boxes, while I continued to sit in front of a computer all day;  we slept in and got drunk without care (well, david did) for the last time in a long time.

In 2013 we toast to another year of good health, prosperity and love!

Ten Rules to Buying a Communion Dress

 Elizabeth's big shopping trip to select a Communion Dress.

There were many dresses, veils and even gloves to try on.

 

First Rule: Try on all or as many dresses as you can because an ugly dress on the hanger may be beautiful on you!

 

Second Rule: Enlist helpers! They can zip the back, tie bows and get different sizes! Plus, they usually come with wallets. :) 

 Third Rule: Have Fun!

 Fourth Rule: Twirl! Twirl! Twirl!

 Fifth Rule: Pouf! Pouf! Pouf! Pouf! The bigger the better!

 Did we already say Twirl?

 Sixth Rule: Male sure the dress doesn't itch or pinch!

Seventh Rule: Dance!

 Eighth Rule: Strike a Pose.

 

Ninth Rule: Take a moment to breath it all in!

 

Tenth Rule: Run it by Daddy (but don't mention the price!!!!)

3 Months

I've discovered my hands. 

I like to look at them and am starting to use them grab dangling toys.

I'm teething.

I will put anything in my mouth with my hands and am starting to drool.

I smile for real, not gas smiles.

I recognize Mommy + Daddy and am starting to realize who are strangers.

I love to listen to the band Renee & Jeremy's cd "It's a big World which is compilation of songs to help kids and their parents fall asleep. 

I'm starting to like tummy time a bit more and can raise my head and chest.

I'm talking more.. I make oohhh and ahhh sounds.

 

I'm starting to notice smaller and larger objects in my environment. 

Look how I have changed in just three short months..
