Hello all!

I have put up MANY posts today... pics, videos, updates, etc.

Hope you all enjoy!

Swimming... 7 10 08

All smiles this morning

Just some news...

So we went to the Dr. yesterday and Little Bit's stats are as follows: 12 lbs., 15 oz. (weight is in the 45th percentile) and 25 1/2 inches long (90th percentile)

She had her shots and we have been cleared for solid foods. So exciting. If she likes her rice from a spoon then we can start on some squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, applesauce and pears next week. Yeah! (I am very much expecting face fulls- mine- of spit up baby food!) She likes to spit it all over everything! Exciting times lie ahead.

Alright, some sleep news:
For the last few weeks she has been rolling over in the middle of the night and wanting to be rolled back over. Sometimes up to 30 time a night... every 5 to 30 minutes. It has been wearing us out! SO, we are in the process of helping her to learn to sleep on her back again. I finally broke out the sleep positioner yesterday so she would feel "held" while she sleeps. It worked for her naps yesterday and she slept all night last night. We put her down at 7:15 and she slept until 7:45 this morning. Praise God!

This could very well only have happened because she was up all but 3 hours the night before- screaming at Daddy and me! It was HORRIBLE!!!!! We were so exhausted and pulling our hair out. Not sure if we will have anymore... LOL Just kidding.

I can't really blame her. We were in a different time zone and had a crazy schedule or lack thereof for the last couple of weeks, so I am certain this is completely normal.

A couple of firsts....

Baby's First 4th!
First time eating from a spoon- grain of choice was oatmeal.






Wow... no post since June 29th??? LOL

Well Hello everyone!!! We are back and in the full swing of things now. I really need to be vacuumming, dusting and cleaning some bathrooms, but for now I will blog. We arrived safely home to Daddy and our lovely ladies, Pumpkin and Skeeter on Tuesday night. I had no idea how much I missed my hubby until I got home and realized we hadn't had a "real" conversation in two weeks. It was so nice to just veg out on the couch and chat over pancakes and eggs.

With many pictures to share, you may or may not get to see all of them (depending on if you have time to go thru them all) but we had a really good time. Little Bit loves the swimming pool and is trying to sit up. She met many new people and smiled at everyone. I think I have the happiest baby in the world. She wakes up grinning from ear to ear. I am a very lucky woman!!!
Practicing sitting up...
Justin making her laugh...
Connie loving life...
That swimming wore her out. When you would take her out of the float and put her in the water on her belly, she would kick and flap her arms and talk to you! She loves the water.
Granny even joined us...
Laughing at us. We were being very silly.Little Bit and her Great Grandpa
Grammy and Great Grandpa- sorry for the quality of the pic.

Just laughing with my cousin Dawson
Did you know the Bumbo can be a hat?



Okay... this is the mud races. What are the mud races you ask? Well, it is kinda of back woods thing... a bunch of country folk get together, soup up some trucks and race them thru pits of mud. Mud even gets slung on the audience. It really is alot of fun. It is loud and obnoxious, but I never pass up an opportunity to go. My grandpa (pictured above) and my uncle Ricky used to race a truck. It was called Cowboy's Nightmare. So here are some pics of our time at the races. Dawson even ran bare foot down the track.



So I didn't get any really good pics of Aunt Rach and Little Bit. This is the best I could find.
Grammy
Some Wii Fun!!! The whole family played... except me. LOL I am not a gamer!



Grandpa Brodsky


This is every little boy's favorite thing to do in a picture. LOL I can remember Aaron doing this.

She had disco fever!
She loves her Uncle Aaron. (He loves her too!)

Swimming with Aunt Rach
I'm a big girl now.

Playing hide and seek... she would look up at him and then bury her head in his arm and look up again and laugh. She had a good time with Grandpa.

Such a good time she got worn out!
Me and my baby!
Precious little Ava (Michelle's little girl)
Michelle and Evan (my first little friend... she and I met when we were in kindergarten... I had my first sleepover at her house- right down the street from Mom)
Okay, this was a riot. Cooper was her little bodyguard while we were at my Mom's. They played together every morning. He would wait for us at the bottom of the stairs if he was up before we were. Here are some pics of the two of them playing together. She loves animals already.

I love this pic!
