A Baptism, 12 Weeks Old, and Halloween

It has been a busy couple of weeks around here. As most of you know

I was Baptized on October 25 at Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is the

most beautiful church and I had a great time sitting through

mass and my baptism. We had a huge party afterward with lots of

yummy food and all my friends and family. I really felt like a star!

On Friday I turned 12 weeks old!!! I can't believe it has been 12 weeks

already. Mommy and me celebrated by going trick or treating

at Grammy's work with my cousins Kolby, Aubrie, and Cameron.

We had such a good time! Then on Saturday it was time for Halloween.

I got all dressed up and then Mommy, Daddy, and I walked in the

community Halloween parade. It was sooo much fun and there was lots of great

costumes. Of course I got pretty tired so I took a quick nap.

Then it was time for the annual Halloween bonfire with our neighbors.

It was soo much fun. I just sat and stared at the fire and saw all the

scary costumes as the kids came trick or treating.

And then strangely enough a frog came to visit us Halloween night on

our front porch. I think he heard what a cute frog I was and wanted to see

for himself.

I am 2 Months Old Today!!!!

That's right people, on the 7th of October I had my official 2 month birthday!!

I know it's hard to believe, but yes it has been 2 months already!

We are having a great time here. I am learning lots and

have seen so many great sights all over town. I sleep in

my very own room now (and let me just say Dad did a hell

of a job on it!) and I even sleep through the night! (sometimes) ((not

as often as Mommy and Daddy would like)) (((but still they can't really

complain, can they??)))

I am getting VERY excited for Halloween since Mommy

has been making such a big deal about my costume.

Stay tuned for what I will be...

So as usual I will wrap up with a few pictures!

Yes I turn myself completely sideways in my sleep!

Yeah I can hold my head up!!!And almost expose my chesticle

How freakin cute am I??

Mommy took me to Fullerton to meet all her friends.

This is Colin, my BFF!

Mommy took me to the pumpkin patch with Uncle Pat, Aunt Ashley

and my cousin Kolby

I love when Daddy makes my Chickey talk to me!!

Man these Raven's games really wear me out

I really love story time with Daddy!!!

I always say my prayers before bed

I know you missed me!

Sorry folks! Mommy, Daddy, and I have been very busy the past

few weeks so I haven't been too up to date with my blogging.

I have been learning lots of new things and am growing really

fast! In fact, at my one month check-up I weighed 10 pounds

and half an ounce! Dr. Kumar said that I am a very strong and

healthy girl!

I am smiling now, especially in the mornings when Mommy

and Daddy wake up to play with me! I have also decided to

give the 'rents a break and have been sporadically

sleeping all the way through the night!

I have been working very hard during my tummy time

and am able to lift my head all the way up for a long time!

I am also starting to pay attention to my toys and have just

started holding my rattle for a few seconds and even

shaking it a little!

So, as you can see, I have a lot going on. I will try to keep the blog

a bit more up to date from now on! Oh, I almost forgot...

GO RAVENS!!!!!!

And now, some more pictures to make your day :)

I am 1 month old today!!!

It has been a wonderful month at home with Mommy and Daddy.

I have learned so much already and am getting soooo big and

strong! I've been all over seeing what this town has to offer.

All I can say is so far, so good!

Last weekend, I was very busy meeting new people.

Mommy and Daddy took me to a fun party for another one of

their friend's daughters. Brianna was turning 6 and had a

super cool pool party. I, of course, didn't go swimming

but it really looked fun!

*Me and Daddy hanging out at the party*

After that, we all went to
Grandmom and Grandpop's house for crabs. Again,

I didn't partake in the crabs, but I did get to meet lots

of new family members, including my cousin Zachary!

*He gave me kisses while Daddy gave me my bottle*

Then, on Sunday, Mommy and Daddy took me shopping at

Babies R Us and then we went to Grammy's house where I

got to hang out with my cousin Aubrie.

*Aubrie supervised while I got a diaper change*

On Monday, Mommy

and Daddy got a little bit worried about me. They thought

that I might have a cold since I was having some weird

breathing issues. So Mommy took me to see Dr. Kumar again.

He checked me out really well and said that I was a very healthy

girl! They weighed me again and I just keep getting bigger! I

weighed in at a hefty 9 pounds, 8.5 ounces!!! Mommy could

hardly believe it!

The rest of the week, Mommy and I kept very busy running errands

and enjoying the beautiful weather by taking walks at

Honeygo Park. At night, we have started to get into a

bedtime routine. At around 8:30, I get my bath and

then Daddy gets me into my jammies and gives me

my night time bottle.

*Me drying off after my bath*

I have been pretty tired from all

the fun I have with Mommy all day, so I have been

sleeping about 5 or 6 hours in a row! I think that makes

Mommy and Daddy really happy!

On Friday, Mommy and I went to visit Grammy for a few

hours while Daddy went out with Uncle Mark and Uncle

Rich. I was very hungry and pretty much just wanted to eat

the whole time we were there. But since it was Labor Day

weekend, I knew I better get my sleep because we were

going to be very busy! On Saturday, Mommy and I decided to take

Daddy with us to the park for our walk. We explored more of

the park with Daddy then normal and had a fun time! Then,

on Sunday we went to Havre de Grace and walked around

the boardwalk that overlooked the water. It was really

pretty and I had fun seeing different places. Finally, on

Monday (my one month birthday!) we went to Grandmom

and Grandpop's to celebrate Grandpop's 60th birthday.

I got to meet a lot more family members and was, of course

very popular!

As you can see, my first month has been very busy! I have

already learned so much and am loving every minute. I am

still doing really well with my tummy time and can hold my

head up by myself for a long time!

*A quick pose during tummy time*

*Sitting up with Daddy*

I am also really enjoying

"standing" with Daddy and am getting very close to rolling

over!

Mommy and Daddy are great! They always play with me

and give me lots of kisses! They take excellent care of me.

I'm a very lucky little girl!

*Kisses with Daddy*

I AM THREE WEEKS OLD TODAY!!!!

It seems like I am getting bigger and bigger every single minute.

I have been loving tummy time and am getting really good

at holding my head up and squirming all around!

I even try "crawling" (although it's more like what Della does

when her face itches.)

The weekend was very busy for me. What can I say?

I'm already a social butterfly! On Saturday, I met

Colin, who Mommy says is my boyfriend. He is a month and a

half older than me and is the son of another Fullerton teacher.

The same doctor even delivered us! Then, later that night,

I got to meet Ava, Mommy and Daddy's friends daughter.

She was really interested in me and kept wanting to hold me!

On Sunday, Mommy, Daddy, and I took my

first outing to the Avenue for a quick trip to the bookstore and

then a stroll around outside. It was lots of fun!

Mommy and I are having a great time hanging out during the day!

We have taken some walks, taken some good naps, and I

even got to go to work with her on Monday. I met all the teachers

at Fullerton and of course, everyone loved me!

On Thursday Daddy had the pleasure of giving me my

first bottle! It was really fun for both of us.

Tomorrow I have a big day planned. First we are off to

Brianna's birthday party, and then it's my first crab feast

at Grandmom and Grandpop's, where I will meet the rest of the fam.

*Here is a sample of my tummy time expertise! Prepare to be amazed!*

And here are a few pictures to put a smile on your face!

*You got a problem? I didn't think so!*
