Brother's 3 Year Pics

No, he isn't quite 3 yet, but give him two more weeks and he will be. I thought I better take advantage of the nice weather we have been having and get his pictures taken. He was such a little charmer for all these pictures. I just can't get over how he isn't a baby anymore. This was the first photo shoot that I have done that I didn't need to spend hours editing after. I took about 50 photos and they were all good, I had trouble narrowing them down! Still can't decide which one is my "favorite!" :-)

I got this orange chair at a rummage sale last week! It was a great find, but now I need to find a place to store it!

I think the reason he was such a charmer for the pictures is because I told him if she smiled nice I would take him to the playground after! Nothing like bribing! ;-)

Baptism

Our sweet baby girl has been baptised!

Here I am trying to get her into her gown that Nana and Papa bought her.

Guess we need Daddy's help too! :-)

Finally she is all ready for her big day!

Isn't she a little doll?!?!

Here is a close up of the shoes that Grandpa and Grandma gave her.

A quick picture before we enter the church.

The baptism. Auntie Mimi was sick and unable to make it. :-(

The family.

The sponsors, minus Mimi.

The sponsors and family, minus Addi Jo. (She was at a church retreat!)

The grandparents.

The pastor.

Then it was back to the house for lunch!

Daddy had a Cross Country meet in the cities this weekend and made it back late Saturday night. He sure missed his little girl!

The kids table.

All day she was passed around from one person to the next. Which worked out great for us, because last night she slept from 9:30 to 5:30!

Thanks again for everyone who came and made her day so special. Life is good!

1 Month T-shirt

OK, I know I never did this with my other children, but I didn't see this idea when they were babies! :-) Today she is officially 1 month old! Check back in a month (if I remember) to see how much see has changed/grown!

Here are some one month stats:
Weight ~ 8.5 lbs.
Length ~ 21.5 in.

She is up to eat about every three hours and eats around 2 1/2 to 3 ounces. At night she sleeps longer. Last night she went down at 10:00 p.m. and didn't wake up until 5:00 a.m. She is awake for about two hours in the morning and around three hours in the evening. This last week she has been pretty fussy in the evenings, hopefully that is a phase she outgrows soon! :-)

Her favorite activity is bath time. She loves it and will stop her fussing as soon as she hits the water!

1 Month

It is hard to believe a month has already flown by! I spent the whole morning trying to capture some pictures of our little darling. She wasn't cooperating very well, but finally got tuckered out enough to get a few good ones.

Our little Diva!

I had to keep her warm or she would wake up and get mad! I thought this one is so sweet! :-)

And of course we needed one of her feet!

Whoooo loves you? We LOVE you! . . . I got this hat online and I ordered it in a size newborn. I had to pin it in the back because it was huge on her! At least she will be able to wear it this winter! :-)

Yup, this photography stuff is tough work!

Looks like her Brother

I keep telling everyone that Baby A looks just like her brother. Here is a picture to prove it! :-) In this picture Brother is about a month older, but I think they look SO much alike. Sometimes I see her big sister, but most of the time I see her brother when I look at her!

3 Weeks Old

WOW! These three weeks have flown by! Our sweet baby girl has definitely changed our life for the better! I can't imagine our life without her! We think she is the sweetest, cutest thing ever!!! :-) So far she is a great baby who loves to be held, cuddled, and talked to. The past couple nights she has even slept five hour at a time! Life is good!

Horse Riding

Adyn was asking Papa all weekend about riding a horse. Papa caught one of his yearlings he has been working with and gave the grandkids a ride.






We will have to mark this in Millicent's baby book that she rode her first horse at 7 1/2 months! :-)
