Summer is almost here!

Hello everyone! I have been enjoying my time outside much more lately now that the weather has been warmer and I have more body fat then before. I still hate it when the sun is shining in my face and the ind blows my 2 pieces of hair, but other then that, it is all good. I have been enjoying sitting outside with Mommy lately and falling asleep. It is so peaceful at about 9:00 sitting on the front porch staring at the bright lights from the ball fields. I am turning into quite the mover these days. I roll over, I scoot and I turn in circles on my back. I am soooo going to beat my brother to the major milestones in physical development. Look out Blayke, I will come after you some day! I have been doing a good job of eating food at night...it is much better now that Mom adds some fruit to that boring rice cereal. Up until 2 nights ago I had been doing a great job sleeping all night long. The last 2 nights I have been getting up at about 3:00am and having a great time talking and playing with mom until about 5:30 and then going back to sleep. I guess mom is not a big fan of our 1 on 1 time at this time of the day. I don't understand why!?! I did hear her say that she only has 5 days left of work though, so she will not be so stressed out about sleep after that. Yeah, right, I think it might be easier for her to go to work during the day. Chasing my brother around all day every day is a lot of work. It wears me out just watching. That boy is crazy! I have been very interested in playing with my toes and putting them in my mouth lately. I have also been very interested in playing with my toys and I can even put my pacy back in my mouth after I pull it out. I still am a very good girl! I am very content with just watching the crazy world go on around me and then after 2 hours of being awake I am ready to take a nap. When it is time to take a nap I usually just turn my head and fall asleep. I know my mom has to spend so much time putting my brother to sleep that I don't want her to have to do that with me, so I just do it myself. You should hear all the good things she says about me.....and the not so good things she says about my brother! :) I will strive to be the GOOD child. The nice thing about that is that it won't be hard. Ha Ha Blayke! I do love my brother though and he does some pretty funny things that getting me laughing pretty hard. I am sad because when school gets out in a few days I will not get to spend all day, every day with Grandma. Who doesn't want to spend all day with Grandma? I know I will still get to see her a lot though so that is good too. I sure am lucky to have her!! Well, I guess that is about all for now. I hope everyone is enjoying the weather!

Hi, It's Me GIRL!!!!

Hello everyone..it is me Girl...the best baby in the whole wide world. I have learned at the young age of almost 4 months that crying doesn't get you anywhere. So, I just really don't cry. I know my mom will feed me when it is time to eat, I know she will change me when I am wet and I know she will let me go to sleep when she sees my eyes start to get red. What other reason is there to cry? Oh yeah, when my brother gets crazy and happens to kick me in the head, or squeeze my hand too tight, or plop down on top of me, but that only hurts for a second and I do cry then, just to watch him get in trouble. Gosh, I can't wait until I can fight back. Mommy and Daddy already told me that I can do whatever I want to him when I am big enough....He has it coming. Ha, just you wait B-Money, I am going to be taller and stronger than you! I have become an extremely loud talker over the past week or so. I talk almost the entire time I am awake these days. I don't even care if there is anyone in the room to listen. You know the saying, "she could talk to a brick wall"? Well, I do spend a lot of time talking to a brick wall! :) I love to talk! Bet you can't guess who I get that from! My daddy is going to live the rest of his life with a headache I am pretty sure. That is ok, he deserves it! I had a good Easter. I got to see my Uncle Chris and my Aunt Kate neither of which I get to see all that often. They like to spoil me...how can you not? I have been building up more of a tolerance for the outdoors lately. I have been told that I have no choice in the matter. I am perfectly fine with going an entire week and not going outside. My brother on the other hand is the exact opposite. So, because my brother cries louder and hits harder.....guess who wins this battle? Well it sure as heck is not me! I have heard about this thing called Clear Creek Amana girls softball and I am excited to see what it is all about. Mommy even had me some shirts made so that everyone would know which team I am cheering for. I guess stay tuned for next time and I will let you know what the heck they were talking about. I am still not really moving much, I kick my legs a lot, I move my hands a lot, I grab things...everything and I put my hands in my mouth, and sometimes even down my throat, but otherwise I am perfectly content just hanging out on the couch or in my vibrating bouncy seat....however, I do not like it when the vibrating part turns off. I am starting to eat a little cereal in the evenings. Last night was actually my best night ever. I really am starting to get good at knowing what to do with that spoon in my mouth. With the combination of the fresh air, the cereal, and a bath yesterday....I went to bed at 9:30 and did not even make a peep until 6:30. Pretty sure Mommy is going to test that theory again tonight. You know what that means....I have to go outside today. Oh great! I overheard something about a little league game and a moo-moo. Ok, whatever....I will do whatever you say, just keep me warm. Ok, I must go watch some more TV, I will be sure to keep you posted on anything else exciting that happens in my crazy life!
