New things

New things! You have started to point and wave and you can throw a ball now! Things are progressing so quickly I hope that I can keep up with everything. You move constantly and naps are decreasing in the last few days. I am so tired! You have started a ritual with your daddy everynight putting the cars in the garage. You LOVE this! He puts you on the center console and drives into the garage, you laugh and clap and raise your arms up in the air. I like to stand in the garage and watch you guys. You also love to press the garage door opener. You daddy says that he can't figure it out and that you need to help him. You went to bed early tonight so he had to manage on his own. I need to get all of this on camera.

He looked at me with a sad expression and said that some day he will ask you to help him and you will say "no" and that he would miss this. I am so glad that he appriciates the time and experience with you.

We love you so much!

You are crawling!!

You are on the move now. You started crawling this week. Today, you really got going. You are still working on your form, but you are an amazingly smart and strong little girl. Not much going on this week other than chasing you around the room.

We went to feed the ducks today with a few other kiddo's and we are going to the zoo on Friday with our Gymboree friends. You liked the ducks, but it was kind of warm out so we didn't stay long. You have my skin and you will burn very quickly. If I have taught you well, then you will stay out of the sun, it is not our friend. I am sorry that you will have spent your childhood in those special SPF swimsuits and sun screen from head to toe. I know other mom's just let their kiddo's run around with out. Both your father and I slather it on everyday. Someday, when you are in your 30's you will thank me. I wish I had done a better job protecting myself when I was younger. I have never been a sun worshiper, but I had a pool in my backyard growing up and one at the ranch and I lived outside as a kid. Your grandmother tried, but they didn't know as much about the damage that sun will do to you as they do now.

We love you scooter. Mommy

Hi sweet baby girl. I am sorry I am so neglectful of writing in this journal. So much is happening. You are growing so fast, and changing constantly. Here is what is going on so far:

You are sort of crawling now, that just started a few days ago. We are thrilled to see you make progress. You would really rather walk then crawl, but you are not ready for that yet. You can stand on your own for about 8 seconds before you sit down. Yay! You are getting so active!

One of your top teeth (the one on your right) broke through the skin on Sunday! It seems like you have been teething forever! You are uncomfortable, and we hurt for you.

You had your first cold about three weeks ago. It was hard to watch. You were so stuffy and your chest was congested. The first night you were so miserable that your dad strapped you into the baby carrier and walked around the neighborhood for almost 2 hours, from around 4am-6am. It got better from there, but we just wanted to make you feel better. The doctor gave you a nebulizer to take home and we did breathing treatments, um, you didn't like that at all.

Your favorite food currently is blue berries! You can eat them non-stop!

You still sleep between your daddy and I. You started waking up a couple of times a night crying, which is out of character for you. I think your mouth hurts.

You are still a little celebrity. People take pictures of you and stop us all the time to touch your feet. You smile so much that people can't help themselves.

New nickname: Cuckoo Banana's

I love you sweet girl. Thank you for being you.
