Happy Valentine's Day

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day:




I've also been very busy while I was snowed in. My favorite part is that my dad was home for four days during the week! Lucky me! My mom liked that part too. I didn't get to see too much of the snow, but here are some pics of when we did go out:


My 6 Months size bearsuit: The blue 3 Months one is too small now :(



Daddy helped me work on my Tummy Time. My hair stuck straight up for a few days. Whatever my parents do with my hair when it's wet, it stays until the next bath. Dad brushed it straight up so I had my hair sticking straight up for a few days:


On President's Day weekend my parents left me for the longest time yet Saturday night (almost 7 hours!) with my grandparents so they could go to a wedding reception in Annapolis. I had the best time with them! I talked to them a lot and watched some Olympics with my Grandpa.

On Sunday, I had my first Valentine's Day and it was so exciting! I got to wear a new red t-shirt that said, "Mommy's Sweetheart" to church but I messed it up before anyone got a picture. After church we had a pancake party at my grandparents' house. Lots of friends were there so I got held by a lot of people and those pancakes (7 different types) sure smelled delicious! My grandparents got me two new books (my favorite) and a sweet card. On Valentine's night I went to bed at 8pm like usual so my parents could have their 7th annual Valentine's Lobster Dinner. My dad is SUCH a good chef, he made lobster bisque with fresh lobster and then two steamed lobsters for them to eat straight. I was asleep but I know it was delicious! It's important for my parents to be able to spend time together without me sometimes.



Some new things: I rolled over from my tummy to my back twice last Friday! It kind of surprised me. I'm working on doing it again so my dad can see. I was propped up on my forearms and pushed off a little and then it happened! Also, my parents put away my pack n play from the living room. Now that I take regular naps, I have to take them in my bed. My parents have decided to stay in the condo another year so I can't be taking up more than my fair share of the 559 square feet :) The pack n play will now be used for travel, so I can nap or sleep when I go to friends' houses with my parents.

I'm 3 Months Old!

As I turn 3 months old, I'm saying goodbye to my 3 Months clothes :( I'm now wearing my 3-6 Months clothes and 6 Months in some brands. I can go through the night without a feeding, but I still wake up once or twice because I'm caught up in my swaddle. It might be time for Mom and Dad to ween me off of my swaddle if it's causing me to wake up! We also have decided to stay in the condo another year, so I'll be sharing a room with my parents a bit longer. I'll need to sleep better so I don't wake them up at night :)

One reason I like living in the condo is that after almost two feet of snow, when no cars were able to pass on the roads, my dad was still able to walk to Giant to get us more milk, a bottle of wine, and more goodies! Giant was open and well-stocked!

While my bedtime is 8pm, my parents still wake me up at 10pm to eat one more time since they're still up and that helps me make it through the night. They are going to slowly start moving that 10pm feeding back until my last feeding is at 7:30 and I'll sleep for 11 hours! I can do it!





My parents are wondering which sports I'll be good at! I give them some hints:



My Bumbo chair helps me learn how to sit up. I can sit up on my own using the Bumbo but my head still bobs a bit.


My last time wearing my favorite ducky jammies -- they're just getting too short and I can't straighten my legs:


Mom tries so hard to capture me smiling in a picture, but once the flash goes off I stop smiling and bug out my eyes like this so we have lots of pictures of me with my eyes bugging out!




I can entertain myself on a blanket with a new mirror/toy from Mommy and Daddy's realtor, Mrs. Szymasnki and a toy for me to play with:





On my 3 Month birthday, it started to snow... and it kept snowing the whole next day. I've seen more snow in my three months of life than some people see in their entire lives! This is my second BIG snow and my 5th snow that accumulated. This picture was only halfway through the storm! Hopefully tomorrow my parents will take me out in my bearsuit to play in the snow and I'll post more pics!
