My First Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday, me, mommy, and mommy's friend Julie went to the pumpkin patch. It was a huge farm where you could pick your own pumpkin, apples, tomatoes, and corn. First mommy and Julie ate caramel apples that they said were really good! Then mommy bought some apples, fresh brocolli, and a little pumpkin for me.

Next we went on a hayride that took us to the patch so we could pick our pumpkins. I was in awe of both the hay and the pumpkins. I didn't want to look up at the camera for a picture because I was too busy checking out the hay and the pumpkin. Mommy had to stop me a few times from eating the hay!




I Am 5 Months Old!

Saturday was my 5 month birthday! I got to spend most of the day with daddy. It was really nice outside so he took me for an hour and a half walk. We went to the playground and daddy took me on the swing and down the slide. I loved it! Mommy was out shopping for a dress so she didn't come with us. Mommy and daddy are going to the Marine Corp. Ball and mommy needs something to wear to it.


I can't believe I have been here now for five whole months! (I don't think mommy and daddy can believe it either!) I'm an old pro at rolling over now and I love to eat my feet! It doesn't matter if I have socks on, I'll eat those too! And I'm starting to realize that if I don't like the taste of my socks, I can just pull them off! My teeth still haven't come in yet, but boy do my gums really hurt! I'll be sure to let you all know when I get my first tooth.

Aunt Mindy's Visit


Last Thursday Aunt Mindy (that's mommy's sister) came to visit me and stayed until yesterday. We had so much fun together. She watched me on Friday and yesterday when mommy and daddy went to work. On Saturday, Aunt Mindy, mommy, and me went shopping at the Leesburg outlet mall. Mommy bought some clothes for work and bought me a few things too like a pretty pink lamp for my room, some new pjs, and some pants. Mommy and Aunt Mindy said I was a very good girl considering we were there for 7 hours! The rest of the time Aunt Mindy was here we just hung out and had fun together. I like hanging out with Aunt Mindy cause she makes me laugh! I am going to miss her but I can't wait to see her again at Christmas!

Welcome to my blog!

Well mommy and I decided to start a blog with updates on new things I am doing and pictures for everyone to see. People are always asking mommy for new pictures of me so she thought this would be an easy solution. Check back often for new updates and pictures. Mommy is hoping to post new things at least once a week.

I'm about 4 1/2 months old today and I am very active! I can roll over from my back to my tummy, but I've only rolled over from my tummy to my back once. I usually only like being on my tummy for a short time, so after awhile I will let mommy and daddy know that it's time to roll me back over! I have very good control over my head and can sit up with some support. I am very nosy and love to see everything that is going on around me -- I don't like to miss a thing! I am teething right now, so I always have my hands in my mouth and I have recently discovered that my feet can also fit in my mouth! I love to hear myself talk and I always have lots to say (people keep telling me that I get this from mommy!).

I am starting to look more like mommy, although my hair is still darker. My hair is starting to thin out and I have some bald spots in the back from rubbing my head around and I also have a very bad habit of pulling on my hair which daddy apparently used to do also. I have had a haircut already about a month and a half ago. I am going need another one soon because my bangs are getting in my eyes. I have big blue eyes that everyone loves! At my 4 month check up I weighed 11 pounds and was 23.75 inches long.

Mommy and daddy share a nanny with another couple, so during the day I go to their house where the nanny watches the other baby and me. The other girl is two months younger than I am and bigger than me, but I can hold my own! One day the nanny laid us both down on a playmat and she left the room for a minute. She came running back cause she heard one of us screaming. The other baby was crying because I had grabbed hold of her hair and was pulling on it!

I like bathtime and just sit in the tub sucking on my hands and talking to mommy and daddy while they clean me. My favorite books are the Olivia books, that pig is too funny and makes me laugh every time! My favorite song is Mary Had a Little Lamb, which makes me smile when mommmy sings it to me.

Well I think that pretty much brings you up to speed on the 4 months of my life so far! Stay tuned for more info on me and from time to time I may even tell you what's going on with mommy and daddy!
