A little bit of this...and a little bit of that....

Hi sweet face!  I thought I would write you a little bit about what has been going on around here lately.  You got to meet your Uncle Kenny, Aunt Rhonda, and cousins Zach and Bailey for the first time this past week!  You loved them...especially Bailey and your Uncle Kenny (did he remind you of Daddy?).  They were here for about five days and we had a blast with them!  We really wish they lived closer.  

Zach loved you!  But Bailey was your favorite to stare at.  =)  Your Aunt Rhonda was the best...she loved to hold you and even helped me give you a bath one night.  Uncle Kenny could just make you smile by talking in a cute baby voice (yep...he actually did that with you!).  Here's some memories from their stay....

Zach and you

Bailey and you - what's funny is that you loved to stare and smile at him when you were in my arms!

You are a bit of a dare devil, we think.  And I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing.  =)  You like getting pushed up in the air, a lot.  You like to be bounced all around (sometimes too much and you spit up a little...all over Daddy).  I buzz you around on the bed...you lie on your back and I kind of zip you back and forth real fast.  You like that too.  =)

You are experiencing a bit of hair loss at the moment.  Your poor little head is a bit scrappy at the moment.  It's pretty thin on the top now, but on the back of your head at the bottom, it's still pretty thick....then midway up your head back there, there is like a chop line from where you rub your head back and forth when sleeping at night.  Give it a few months and you'll be as good as new!  Until then, we'll embrace your male pattern baldness!  =)

You are definitely still talking.  You have found a new "voice" too. Gone is the dying kitty...it is sooooo last week.  This week, it's the gurgle voice!

And here's your new trick!

Oh baby girl...you are the best.  I found another favorite moment with you the other night. You were in bed, trying to sleep, crying a bunch....so you must've still been hungry.  So, I was a little stressed, trying to warm up some extra milk for you from the freezer...and you were screaming, crying.  Not fun for Mommy.  So, I'm stressed, you're crying...and I bring up a bottle to you after it warmed up...and your poor little face was all red from crying.  We sit in the chair and I feed you.  Your sweet little face just stared back at me, big eyes and all.  Once you were done, you just stared at your Mama until your eyes started getting droopy.  You were so sweet, baby girl....so sweet.  All of that stress just melted away and God gave me this moment with you instead.
