Next Big Step

We took you to your 4 month check up yesterday and unfortunately you had to get more shots, BUT... the doctor gave us the go ahead to start playing with food. We are free to dive into the realm of rice cereal. The timing could not get any better since we just got our new video camera in the mail, so we took the opportunity to capture the moment for everyone to see. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as you enjoyed your first adventure into (semi) solid foods!

Wet wipes have taken on a whole new meaning!

Itching for Summer

When Ouma and Oupa asked me what I wanted for my birthday, my response was quick and easy. I wanted a backpack to fit you in because I am dying for summer vacation when you and I can be outdoors the entire summer. When I found this backpack, I knew it was the one. It is like aregular backpack with tons of space for food, water, and Doober's leash, but there is a spot especially for you. Of course, as soon as we got home, we had to try it on. You were a little wobbly as we have to adjust the straps, but we are going to have so much fun. Thanks for the birthday present Ouma and Oupa!

Daddy is a fashionista

Dear little one,

I could not help but giggle this afternoon when I got home and saw your outfit. Today was Dad's day off and he did such a great job getting you up and dressed and taken care of for the day, but I had to laugh at the outfit he chose for you. Pink striped pants with a white onesie with purple and tan hearts all over.

You did not care though. I came home and you guys were smiling at each other. I am so glad you get to have that time with Dad!

The gift that keeps on giving...

What better birthday present than this face? There has not been a single morning when I have walked into your room and found you grumpy. You always turn on the biggest smile and show me your amazing ab strength. How could I possible ask for anything else on my birthday when I get this?

Daddy's Little Girl

Every night we lay out your blanket and we do your physical therapy exercises and play with toys. I don't know who has more fun- you or us. You have this funny little habit of pushing both your legs high in the air and crashing them down to the ground. I can't help but be jelous of your rock-hard abs! Anyway, you have us so wrapped around our fingers that we cannot help but imitate you. I could not pass up a photo opportunity of you and Dad getting in some play time. Who is having more fun? You or him?
