As I was taking you for a walk in the park this morning, I thought about how lucky you are to call this place home! I hope you love it just as much!!

Holy moly you are growing up!!! Rolling over, talking, letting us know when you Don't need to potty, playing with toys! The list goes on!!
Today was grocery shopping day (& you didn't have a blowout at the store! Wahoo!) You are getting used to being worn while we shop, which is awesome! It's going to make Mama's life so much easier if you 'enjoy' (tolerate) it!

You've been a little crank monster lately!!! I think it's a combination of a few things: 1) maybe it is just a cranky time (developmentally), 2) you seem to be teething - chewing and slobbering like crazy, and 3) we think you have some food allergies that we haven't quite pinpointed... :(
This weekend has been all about the Daddy. He's been baby whisperer in getting you to sleep when it was nap time!!! He's so proud of himself. We will miss him on Monday when he goes back to work and Mama is the only one trying to get baby to fall asleep at nap time!

You saw two of the midwives that helped deliver you today. We hadn't seen them since December, so you've definitely changed! Angela, the midwife that caught you as you were born, had an open house for the beautiful midwifery clinic she is starting out of her backyard cottage.
Before we went to see Angela, you took a nap. While you were napping, Daddy decided to get Mom up to speed on one of the best movies from his childhood... (One that your mother should have seen already!)... Wayne's World! It was quite awesome. You decided you wanted a little Wayne's World too. You woke up from your nap early while we were finishing the end of the movie. We are trying to keep you from seeing the TV too much, but it didn't matter how Daddy turned you, you were going to watch that movie! Maybe someday you'll think it's as funny as your parents do.

Oh Sweet Pea! You are a little fuss bucket today! I am not sure why, but I feel so bad for you.
We did hear your laughter though. You were laying on the bed after Daddy came home. I noticed that you look like you almost have dimples and in a silly voice I was telling you about how they are hidden in your puffy cheeks as I shook the bed. This made you giggle! Daddy even caught it on film! So cute.

This is you happy as can be upstairs visiting P and Z and your Aunt Jac. This is moments before you were bonked accidentally by a flying plastic giraffe... And after that you weren't so happy, not in the least! Poor baby girl!!! Mama has never seen you cry so hard. You'll definitely have more than your share of bumps and bruises down the road. Mama isn't looking forward to any of that. Your daddy isn't either!!
02.20.2013
Our love for you grows more and more each day! It's hard to believe possible!!! We love you so much. (& mama loves that you seem to be slowly sleeping longer again each night!)

The weather has been amazing! We have been spending so much time outside!!
The big news with you today: on our car ride home from buying new plants, you entertained yourself with a toy! This is huge!! What a big change! You are growing so much baby girl!

Hehe! Your hair in today's photo is so typical lately. That one side insists on standing Straight Up!!

Of course this morning included brunch at our favorite brunch place! Mama was nervous about whether or not they could accommodate our new dietary limitations but they did a wonderful job!
Today was the first Saturday in a while that your father hasn't had to work so much. It was so nice having him around to play with you more!! I think he especially enjoyed it!!

Today was a really summer-like day!!! The temperature was absolutely amazing!! We went out to the porch first thing this morning, just like we will when summer comes. Then we spent the rest of the day hanging out with your cousins outside - including a walk to the toy store to get Zia some new kicks (& dreaming about your first pair of shoes), backyard fun, and playing in Laurelhurst Park. You took two naps outside while strapped to Mama, you lucky baby!
And tonight, Daddy took us out to eat at a restaurant. I think it's the first time we've gone out to dinner since you were born!

Your first Valentine's Day! You definitely stole the heart of your mama and daddy!!
Your loves right now include:
•trying to roll over
•the Whoozit toy in the photo and Panda
•reading library books (particularly the book Big is Big (and little is little): the Book of Contrasts)
•Mommy & Daddy
•dancing (kicking) to music (especially with Daddy)
•talking when you are really tired (it usually sounds like a pretty serious story!)
•sleeping only a short amount of time instead of the nice long 6-7 hour stretches from before you were 3 months old! & napping a lot in Mama's arms
•being Mama and Daddy's favorite!!

Panda love!!!
You were too darn cute today in your cousin Zia's old shirt! Oh how mama hopes you grow up loving hand-me-downs as much as she does!! (I am imagining the way teenage you and teenage Z will share clothes!! So much fun!)

You rolled over on the hard floor today! From your back to your belly... And you might have kept going (right under the tub) if Mama hadn't scooped you up! I consider this official! You've been working so hard at this for a while now, but especially in the last week! (You've rolled over multiple times on the bed and couch, but I don't 100% count those cause I think the cushiony surface helps you a bit!)
Another first today: the weather was so nice this afternoon that we hung out on the porch soaking up the sun. Then you nursed to sleep while Mama sat in the porch chair dreaming of summer!
Oh & I can't forget to share your little laugh tonight. I decided to give you some naked baby time before putting on your jammies. As I got the wet mat out, you began laughing and continued each time I shook it or crinkled it! So funny!! Looking forward to finding more things that make you laugh!!

Ready to shop!!
I wonder if you'll be like me when I was a little girl... Whenever I would go shopping (usually grocery shopping) with my mom, I'd have to bring my purse filled with all the most important things (of course!)

You have been loving your Daddy today! You have talked and smiled with him. You watched him through the whole dinner. You followed him with your eyes when he came in the room. You are definitely a fan!
It's so freaking sweet!!

Your cousins are really ill with high fevers (poor Z had to actually go to the emergency room in an ambulance because hers had gotten so high). Mama has been keeping a close eye on you today! Mostly we've spent the day snuggling... Plus catching up on a week of house work that somehow hasn't happened all week.

You giggled to mama out of the blue this afternoon, and you were on such a roll that she actually caught it on video!!!
We had gone to mama group at Alma and lunch. (You sat on Mama's lap for a while instead of needing bounced while I stood up!)

YOU LAUGHED FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY!!!
Dad made it happen while he was slathering you with coconut oil during your pre-bath massage. He heard the very first giggles and yelled for me to get in and here your second giggles!

How stinking cute are you in this sweater!? Mama bought it for you at a consignment sale before you were born and was so excited to try it on this morning to see if it fit! You wore it out on our walk this morning.

Look at you with those hands! You are exploring the cool things you can do with your fingers... That or thinking of your mischievous plans to take over the world! [insert evil laugh here ;)]

This morning Daddy wore you for the first time. We had to run to Zupan's to get milk for breakfast. You did pretty good with only a little of your leg straightening and back arching. You'll be so much more comfortable in the Ergo when you are bigger (we hope ;)!!
Mama wanted to nap with you today, but each time she put you (sound asleep) down, you woke! She finally got a nap with you during your long afternoon nap. The others though, we're snuggle naps only!
One more big deal: you joined Mama at the grocery store this evening to get about a half week's groceries (small steps!) You did great! She wrapped you facing out in the Moby and was able to do all the shopping she needed! Of course, you keep things interesting! You pooed in the produce section! And it was a doozy! The first time using a public changing table was blowout central!! And after getting all cleaned up and having a stuffed wet bag, you peed all over the changing pad!! But you smiled the whole time, and so did your mama. :)

Today was our first sick visit to the Dr.'s office! Your eyes were gooping up and seemed irritated, so Mama called to get an appointment before the weekend. Our Dr. gave us a three step plan making antibiotics our last step. This made Mama really relieved to know we didn't go straight for the meds! The homeopathic eye drops and breast milk seem to be helping.
This morning you seemed to discover something new to do with your hands. It was the cutest thing!! I love watching you grow and change!! (It also makes me sad because it's time passing and you'll never go back! Today is kind of like your last day as a newborn. Tomorrow you'll be three months old!)

Today was a big day. We went to our Alma mama group and our 30 mom's group. We went to the grocery store! P, Z, and Aunt Jac came over to see you. Mama had to get a photo of you and your aunt for a book she made you that had to be sent in today.
While they were over your cousin Z conked you with your rattle, but it didn't seem to faze you! She wanted to join her mama's lap while you were already occupying it! A little later you were being held by your cousin, P, on the couch. You slobbered on him and freaked him out. He pulled his arm away and you sweetly slid to the couch, again unfazed by the whole thing!
