Heather’s Haircut

Today we took my sister Heather to the mall to get her hair cut.

 

Baby and I got to sit right next to Heather, and she laughed when the stylist first started cutting.



I laid down her stroller seat to create a little pen and we played while we waited.

 

Baby helped her aunt show of her new haircut:









Looking good Heather! Thanks for spending the day with us- we had fun!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Today we spent Father's Day with hubby's family. (Tomorrow we'll celebrate with my dad.) It was fun showing off baby's new "crawling" skills. She is ALMOST there. She is definitely mobile, but she hasn't quite put all the movements together yet. She'll move a knee there and a hand there, but mostly use a combination of scooting and flopping to move slowly across the floor. I would be surprised if I didn't have a crawling video for you by the end of the week!

Anyway, back to Father's Day. Here is the picture I put together for my Dad-in-law. I printed it 8x10 and put it in a frame. Nothing too amazing, but he loved it!

We all got together for dinner at their house, and then had fun chatting and catching up, and of course playing with baby!

The dad's taking it easy while we get dinner ready:

Kisses from grandma:

I am so lucky to have such a great Dad-in-law, and now a wonderful grandpa for my little girl. We love you, Dad!

WATCH ME GROW

I've added a fun page to the blog. Click here (or the new button on the side) to see pictures of baby growing and changing! It's not quite caught up yet, and I'll be adding a new picture every week or so... so check back often!

And... we're back!

Hi everyone. Sorry to disappear on you there. That cold I caught was a nasty one, and baby and hubby had it one after the other, so things have been crazy. But I'm all better, and hubby is almost through it, so I'm ready to get caught up here! Look out for a flood of back posts over the next two days, plus some new pictures of the cutest girl ever.

Oh, and one quick announcement. This mommy was very happy this morning when she woke up and realized that for the FIRST time, baby slept practically through the night! I'll let you know if it sticks, or was just a one-time gift for this tired mom.

Great hair!

Baby gets so many compliments on her hair- the length and the color. It was darker when she was born, but has been getting lighter. Lately it looks like she's got some expensive highlights and all the ladies at church are jealous. I finally got a decent picture of the color:

She's got great hair, right?

Growing

Look who fills her crib from side to side!

She is growing so fast!




Getting to know Baby

It's so fun to see all this little bits of her personality come out, things that are completely hers and remind me that this little person is someone I am so excited to get to know.

Here is a cute little example. Whenever I feed her, she always has her foot propped up on my arm or on a pillow or tucked in. When she's playing, she loves to grab and play with her feet. Today, she fell asleep in my lap holding her foot, and stayed that way for a while!

So cute!
