Week 30

I can't believe thirty weeks have gone by since you were born! You are such a happy baby and we love you so much!

Lately you have loved playing in your exersaucer. You like all the toys and want to touch and suck everyone!! You love being able to turn yourself around and watch as your silly sisters run all around!

You have been getting up more often at night, which is not fun for mama, although I do enjoy spending the quiet moments with you. The part that is hard is actually getting out of bed! Once that part is over, spending some quiet time with you is fun! You have been talking a lot more lately and will even mimic me when I make certain noises. So glad we have become such good friends over the past thirty weeks!

Week 29

Lately you have been loving your bath time. You especially love the cup and trying to drink something out of it. You have been so much fun this week and have been so happy! I love you tons!

I had to throw this picture in...I just love the feet! The cute smile isn't bad either!!

Your hair has seemed to get a bit lighter lately. I love the little fuzz you have!

Week 28

Baby C is now six month old and just had her doctors visit this past week. She had four shots which she did not like, but once I picked her up she stopped crying. She is 15.8 pounds and is 26 inches. She is in the 25th percentile for weight and 60th for height. She has been my biggest baby so far, which is kind of fun!

C loves her bath and especially loves taking the cup I use to rinse her from me! She often tries to drink out of it, but is met with disappointment! I just love this picture with her cute little feet!




















C usually hates being taken out of the bath, but this time she was okay since I let her keep her cup!!











She is such a sweet little dolly...I just love her so much!












These other sweeties love her too! I love clean an fresh little ones!

Shots

Today C had her six month check up which included four shots. She was so happy before the shots but looked so disappointed once she felt the pain of the first shot. So sad to see them in pain. She calmed down pretty quickly after the shots, which helped me feel better.








On the car ride home I asked B is baby was asleep and she said yes. Let me just back up and say the C rarely falls asleep in the car. I know, most babies do, but she does not! I was pretty shocked since we had just barely left the doctors office. When we got home I couldn't resist taking some fun pictures of her asleep. She was so tired that she even stayed asleep after I moved her to her bed.

Once she woke up she was back to her normal smiley self. I guess sleep is magical...not just for mommies!

Spring is Comming!

Today I ventured out with the girls after school since the temperature was above fifty...kind of. (The wind made is a bit cooler, but I will take it over freezing!!) We still have a bit of snow left on the ground, but it seems to be melting pretty quickly. This winter has been pretty mild compared to most, but it is still winter and we are ready for those warmer temps!!

The girls were so excited to pull out their bikes and scooter and ride up and down the street.

B had her Dora bike out and her lady bug purple helmet...two of her favorites! (ladybugs and purple!) She also had her sun glasses on which were not necessary but it is totally B! She would stop periodically to pull the Dora map out of her backpack on the front of her bike and make sure she was going the right direction!

M rode her scooter up and down and had a blast! She was the one to warn us when cars were coming. She eventually started to pretend cars were coming so she could see B hope off her bike and get off the rode. I eventually told B she could just pull to the side of the rode on her bike. M thought it was pretty funny. I guess we all tease at some point!

I think C was in shock to be outside without it being freezing. I assume that she only has memories of the outside being freezing so it was funny to watch her look around. Despite the original shock, I believe she enjoyed her stroll in the stroller up and down the street!

Hopefully these warmer days will keep coming and we will be able to get out and enjoy them!

Week 27

Week 27 has come and gone and you are just getting sweeter all the time. You love your daddy and smile whenever he walks in the room. You will hardly eat when he is around because you just stare at him! You have since you were tiny...I think you are intrigued by all his dark hair!

This week you had your second ear infection. You really hate your medicine and have become really good at spitting it out! Mommy has to choke you to get it down. I did get to rock you to sleep one night when you weren't feeling well, which was really nice for me. I love to cuddle you but for the most part you like to be up so you don't cuddle all that often!

Although you love daddy lets not forget about the one that feeds you! You still love mama and I am so glad you do! I love all my sweet smiles and coos I get from you every day! Love you little C!

Week 26

So this past week little C experienced solid food for the first time. I have been noticing her watching all of us as we eat so I thought it was time to try it out!

I think she was a bit confused as to why we had all gathered around her and why she wasn't getting her normal morning feeding from mama. She was so fun to watch!

Little C was not quite sure about the solid food. There was a lot of putting it in and a lot of C spitting it back out! The looks on her face were priceless!

She was not a huge fan of her oatmeal but by the end of the week she was doing better with it. None of my babies have loved solid food at first but I am sure she will eventually!

We all had fun watching C with her first feeding. She seemed to enjoy the attention and was happy that mommy finally feed her after her first attempt at oatmeal!!

Week 25 (a day late!)

So here is our littlest sweetie pie on Valentine's Day!! This year you got a book called "Where is My Sweetie Pie" which I thought was perfect for you!

This past week you have been so talkative and happy. You have wiggled your body to get toys which has been fun to watch. You still aren't rolling all over, but we are in no hurry for that!!

This week you started sitting up a bit more and finally standing a bit. You can sit but need mommy right there so you don't fall over if you get too excited!

And last but not least you have finally taken a bink!! Ok, it has only taken six month for you to like it but I think it will be worth it. It has already been useful a few times this week when you woke up in the night and I just gave you a bink and turned your music on and you went back to sleep!! I love you tons C and am having so much fun watching you grow!

Love,

Mama

Week 24

Our sweet Valentine this year! Lots of love to you sweet C!

Week 23

This week we have been practicing your rolling over from front to back!
















You don't love to be on your tummy so it is no surprise you learned to do this. You sometimes get frustrated with me for putting you on your tummy so you just bury your head out of frustration!!















You are getting better though at holding yourself up and looking around! As long as you can get your arm under yourself you can seem to roll onto your back again!
















I had to trow this picture in just to show grandma and grandpa that you do have a neck!!!
















Here you are after you finally roll over! You always smile so big when you make it off your tummy! We've had a fun week watching you learn!

Week 22

This week has been a fun week with you. You started rolling from your tummy to your back...which is fun to watch! We all sat with you Sunday night rolling you on your tummy and you would quickly roll to your back. Each time you did you got a loud round of applause from us! You thought it was pretty fun!

You still love your sisters and they love you! No one can get you to smile as quickly as your sisters can! I sometimes have to tell them to not sit over you or to get out of your face, but you don't seem to mind! We all love you little C!

B's Booster Seat!

This past week I bought little Miss B a big girl booster seat! She wasn't sure she wanted one at first but mommy is sick of buckling her in her five point car seat with all the winter clothing. Plus, getting the baby seat over the old big car seat was starting to wear on my back!! B picked out a car seat that has rainbows, music notes and radio's on it. It also says "Girls Rock" She loves her new "rock and roll" car seat! (At least she thinks it's a rock and roll car seat!) Mommy likes it too!

Week 21

Dear C,
Week 21 is here and you are as cute as could be! This week you found your voice. We were all talking to you Sunday night and you just started screaming. It is a cute scream for now! You seem very proud of yourself and we are too! It has been a fun week to get to hear you talk more and more!!













I also love when you get excited you stiffen your arms and legs! It is so fun to walk up to you and have you get excited to see me! It makes me feel so loved!

I love how you are addicted to your fingers...and anyone elses fingers as well! You don't suck your thumb...just fingers or your whole fist!

You are such a sweetie! We love you lots and lots!

Love,

Mama
