Christmas!

My first Christmas

My first Christmas was a BLAST...except for the whole ear infection and bronchiolitis thing. Mom was all hyped up about it and daddy told her that I just sounded like Darth Vader. Apparently, not the right thing to say to Mommy on Christmas day. I went to the doctor's first thing in the morning the next day and I had to be hooked up to this scary machine. I was NOT happy! I felt much better about a week later but here are some pictures of the happier Christmas moments!

My very own Christmas Tree (like my holiday sheets?)

Grandma Wulff made me a stocking for Santa to fill

Santa came to Grandma's house too!

I'm a present!

Thanksgiving, Smiles, and Giggles

I love my Christmas tree

So, I've been fairly busy. With my mommy back at work and me going between my grandma's house and Miss Patti's house, I haven't had a lot of time to blog.

We had Thanksgiving at my Grandma Young's house this year. I got to try cereal the weekend before for the first time and I liked it, but then got sick later that day so Mommy and Daddy decided to wait until after the break to try it again. Thanksgiving day was fun...I even got my own chair at the table, although I feel like it was a little short. We put our Christmas tree up the next day and it's been slow getting it decorated. I got really sick so Mommy had to play nurse and Daddy was worried about me, so our tree was bare for a while. Now it has most of the ornaments up, including some of my very own! We celebrated my mom's 27th birthday recently and I got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Young while Mommy and Daddy went to the Melting Pot. The next day, we went to Grandma Wulff's house for a "December birthdays" celebration. I really liked playing with Grandma's balloon and didn't want to give it up.

Recently I've been working on turning over, sitting, and "creeping". I'm good at rolling, I just don't like doing it. I'd rather Mommy or Daddy help me. Sitting is easier than I thought...as long as I keep my hand on my legs to prop me up. I almost tumbled off the couch the other day while Mommy's head was turned. I thought it was really funny!

I also love to laugh. Kiera (one of my dogs) cracks me up! All she has to do is walk by and I start laughing. Mommy is also really good at making me laugh.

I'm really excited for my first Christmas. I've asked for a few things such as a walker, a music table, and more teething toys. I sure hope Santa is good to me!

Fall!

Fall is SO great when you have fun people to share it with! I get to watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown with Daddy, prepare for my 1st Halloween, wear my UGG boots and my pink overalls, play peek-a-boo with Mommy, and read great books before bedtime! Being 4 months old is the best.

I'm growing

I'm getting SOOOO big!

Here I'm showing off how long I am.

I love hanging out it this crib...my grandma slept in it when she was a baby and so did my mommy! Grandma repainted it with Beatrix Potter characters before I was born.

Well I have been doing a lot recently. I'm almost 3 months old! My new favorite toys are my hands! I love to look at them and suck on my fingers. I'm starting to discover my toes too but I'm still having a hard time holding onto my feet. I also have learned to sit in my Bumbo. It is great because it is the perfect size "chair" for me! I like sitting in it while Mommy reads me stories. I am smiling a lot more now and even starting to giggle...daddy makes me laugh :-)
I'm a big mommy's girl and I am NOT happy that she is going to leave me to go back to work in three weeks. I think I might have a hard time getting used to being without my mommy during the day, but probably not as hard a time as mommy will have!
I really like to go shopping. There are so many neat things to look at and it is really great when Mommy buys me cute new clothes. I hope Daddy doesn't cancel her credit card when he sees how much she has spent on me! I will have to add more pictures later of the other things I've been up to this summer. Bye!

First trip

I've recently decided that bath time is not so bad, especially when Grandma Wulff comes to help! I also just came back from my first mini-vacation. Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma took me to Cleveland to meet my Great Grandma Wulff (Granny) and my mommy's cousin Meredith. Mom and Dad went to Mid-Ohio on Saturday while I hung out with Great Aunt Jan and Uncle Chris, Meredith, Granny, and Grandma. I was a very good girl and I really liked sitting in my moses basket in Jan and Chris's sunroom...it felt like I was outside! This week I'll be going with Mommy to her classroom since Grandma is going out of town. Summer has been fun!

Bath time is fun!

Enjoying Summer!

I'm really liking this summer season. It is warm and sunny and mom takes me on lots of fun walks. Today I went to church for the first time! I'm three weeks old and mommy thought that it was a good and safe time to take me out to meet lots of people. I got to wear a pretty dress my grandma Wulff's friend sent me from North Carolina. Then when we came home I cuddled with mom on the back deck. That is my favorite place...sitting with mommy in the rocking chair listening to the birds and neighbors. She always takes me out there when I fuss and I calm right down. I may be an out doors kind of gal! Here are some pictures of me (mom's favorites) from the past few weeks since I've been home.2 weeks old

Mommy loves this funny picture of me trying to eat my fist!

3 weeks old. Mommy's all time favorite picture of me so far...she says I look like an angel :-)

I'm here!!

Hello all!! I am finally here! They decided that I was going to be too big to come naturally so the doctors decided to deliver me through a c-section. My mom was just so happy to have a final date for me to be here. The whole delivery process went well, except for the fact that I was evicted from my nice cozy home and I've been pretty upset about it ever since! I wowed everyone in the operating room with my size...10 pounds 3 oz. My mommy realized why she felt so huge and miserable the last few weeks of pregnancy. What can I say...she did a super job growing me :-) My daddy got to hold me while they sewed up mommy and then I got taken away to be checked and to get a bath. I like when they washed my hair. Then we got to stay in the hospital for 3 days with lots of people taking care of me and mommy and LOTS of fun visitors! Then we went home and mom and dad took over the duties of taking care of me. Boy have then been in for a ride! They say their favorite part is when I sleep...they love to snuggle with me then. But their least favorite part is my stinky diapers. I love to fill them up RIGHT when I am ready to fall asleep, then I get changed and I get all upset and awake again. I love sleeping on my daddy's chest more than anything in the world...well except for my bottle. Mommy thinks I'm the prettiest little (well, really big) baby she's ever seen. I love my family and I think I might like this whole "living on the outside" gig.
