Happy 4th of July!

~Aunt Dandy's 25th Bday & My 1st 4th of July~

I am now 5 days shy of 4 months old!!

Mommy can't believe how big I am getting.

To celebrate Aunt Dandy's birthday and the 4th, Grandma & Pepaw came for a visit and we all hung out, cooked out and went to the fireworks show!

My favorite part was the bracelets, stars and hair pieces that lit up that Grandma bought.

I watched the fireworks for a while and kept my eyes on the sparkling, flashing lights.

I did very good the whole time..until the long walk back to the car!

My 4 months of life I can now:

* SMILE huge and so cute!!

* giggle and laugh

* watch tv, usually sitting in daddy's chair

* sleep ALL NIGHT!!! yes, yes i finally did it mom ;)

* watch myself from a recording on mommy's phone and just smile and laugh

* grab what might be in front of me

* kick my feet so hard and fast like im about to lift off!!!

*talk in my gibberish ways

Mommy's most favorite times are:

*mornings once I am up...always have the BIGGEST smiles on my face!

*how cute i look when i stretch in the mornings

*bath time- all lotioned up and smellin' good

*when she picks me up from daycare

these are just a few of her favorite things.............

A look at some of our weekend and Me @ almost 4 months old.

Just Me!

5 weeks old!













4 weeks!

My 1st Pinic at the Lake

Mommy decided she wanted to get out and enjoy the beautiful day this afternoon, since it was the last full day we had together as a family before daddy goes back to work! My first big outdoor outing! I was awake for the whole thing-falling asleep on the way home! Mom and Dad enjoyed a sandwich lunch while I chilled in my car seat...until I started wanting out and Daddy came to the rescue! He took me down to see the Lake and all its wonder ;)

Nice little afternoon outing!

Me at 1 month old!

So it begins...they always say time flys fast! and I am already 1 month old as of April 9, 2011 !

This was how my day went! From early morning swinging, changing into my girly punk clothes and snapping a few photos before I got too mad, till late evening resting in daddy's arms and staring at him!

Thanks to Chrissie I am able to bling out my clothes (or daddy's) when I turn a month older! ;)

This is what comes to mommy's mind within this 1 month of me blessing them:
* I am strong and hold my head up and toss it back and forth when I am held!
* I am one SQUIGGLE worm!! always moving around!!!
* I am awake more during the day * My thumb has made its way to my mouth about 3 x's * I still prefer my "soothie" paci. over others I have tried...I do not rely on a paci. now though so that makes mommy glad at the moment (you know her and her dental hygiene background ;) )
* I have the temper of Daddy when it comes to wanting my milk or being held!
* Yes, its so.... i still am sleeping on mommy's chest at night-this may end soon we shall see :) but hey the dr. says it was ok when mommy asked last time!
* Since mommy loves to stare at me, she has noticed how filled out I am getting, how much longer my eyelashes and big toenails are getting! hehe....
* I have moved out of premie clothes from the first say 3 weeks and now in Newborn ones...I still cannot fit into the 0-3 month clothes quite yet..so NB it is!
* I am wearing NB diapers as I have all along * When I am not held I like my swing, bouncy chair, and lying in my crib staring at my black & white mobile/bedding....
* I LOVE MUSIC!!!!! My fav. sound is my singing teddy bear that Pepaw Sleeth gave me...it sings the song "Smile" from the voice of the 7 yr old girl that was all over the internet in the past...its so pretty and that just eases my mind!!! My mommy turns it on in my nursery often and she dances with me to it ;)

Mommy and Daddy are getting in to the swing of things...Mom has LOVED her time off being with me every day!!! Dad goes back to work in 3 days...this will leave me and mommy alone on those evenings he's at work so hopefully all will go well! My grandparents have came and visited all thoughout my 1 month of life, as far as Aunt, Uncle and a few friends too! We sure are blessed to have lots of help!

I go back to the dr. for my 1 month ck up next week...we are anxious to see how much i have gained!! Surely over the 7 lb mark!! ;)


MeMe Bloodworth bought me my 1st bunny ears so mommy had to see how they looked! Thanks to the sun & my bow it leaves a shadow on my left eye that looks like i have a boo-boo eye mark! but its not!! Daddy cannot get ENOUGH of me!!!!!! gives me sooooo....many kisses!!!! I sure love him! I am his "sweet baby girl"
