I Am Three Months Old!

Three months old, can you believe it? Here are some of the highlights from my three month photo shoot:










I am still watching football with Daddy, but I am not so sure about these Hokies. Don't they ever win? Oh well, at least I get to nap during the games.

 

Mommy is back to work, so of course it's my job to help her. Here are some pictures of me helping.

 

I am still learning how to sleep. I am getting a little better, and Mommy and Daddy are experimenting with new bedroom routines to get me settled down at night. Here is one that didn't work for some reason:

Here is one that works better:

 

 

Oh yeah, I rolled over the other day! I was doing tummy time and I rolled to my back. Here I am right before I rolled:

I would show you an after picture, but there isn't one because when I rolled I scared myself and cried.

I still love smiling and love Daddy! Here I am smiling with Daddy before we went outside for a workout:

 

And here I am smiling with Daddy after church:

Oh and before I forget, we found an old baby picture of Daddy and matched it up with mine. We are twins! See?



I am a very chatty girl these days. I talk all day. Sometimes, I even say real words. Or at least, I make it sound like I am saying real words. Here I am saying "hi".

Well, I guess I should be going because I'm all out of pictures. Besides, I have a busy day of playing ahead!

Love,
Estie

I Am Two Months Old!

Now that I am two months old, the flowers on my head are getting even bigger and my blog posts are getting even later, but what can you do?

I am learning and growing so much these days! When I am not busy eating, sleeping, or crying, one of my favorite things to do is smile. Here are some of my best movie star smiles.

I am also becoming quite the cook. I help Mommy in the kitchen every day and it is a good thing I'm here because believe me, she really needs the help!

Of course, I've been spending a lot of time hanging with Dad. He is teaching me all about football. I pretend to be very interested in it, but just between us, I'm more interested in eating.

I am growing really big! Would you believe that I am even outgrowing some of my socks?

The highlight of my month was getting to go on a family vacation to the beach! It was really good to get away from the daily grind. I was so relaxed that I slept through the night all week!
Here are my vacation photos:

Now that vacation is over, I've just been hanging out looking pretty.

Oh yeah, I also got to go to church for the first time this month! I liked it, but what can I say? I have to keep Mommy and Daddy on their toes, so of course I fussed just a little. Here is a picture of me and Mommy getting ready for church.

Well, I guess that about wraps it up for month two. Stay tuned for more of my adventures, coming soon!

I Am One Month Old!

Today I am one month old! (Full disclosure: 2 days ago, I was one month old.  Mommy is a little slow updating my blog.  I will talk to her about that.  I will also talk to her about putting these enormous flowers on my head...)

Anyway, here are some of the cool things I have done this past month:

I visited my grandparents at Lake Isaac in Virginia...

I worked out in my baby gym...

I hung out with Mommy at 3am... (And 1am, and 2am, and 4am.  And all the other am's, too!)

I learned some of the lyrics to "Pour Some Sugar On Me".  Thanks, Auntie Paige!!!

I learned to take a pacifier... (Sidenote - Pacifier comes from the word "pacify".  Dictionary.com defines pacify as: To quell the anger, agitation, or excitement of.  Mommy defines it that way, too.)

I got a bath...  (This is not my first bath, this is my second bath, which was much less traumatic than my first.  Thanks, Grammy, for showing my mommy how to do it right!)

I also spent lots of time with Daddy learning about baseball! Here I am throwing my first ball...

Here I am practicing my right bent-leg slide...

Here I am watching the Phillies with Daddy.  Better luck next game, Phillies!

Here I am with Daddy before his softball championship game.  Better luck next year, Daddy!

And here I am playing with my uncle Andy in my Orioles onesie.  I'm not really an Orioles fan, but Daddy lost a bet with his friend, so sometimes I have to wear this.  I'm not sure if orange is my color, but it does make my dimples pop!

I also spent some time all swaddled up in my "Miracle Blanket".  It's called the miracle blanket because sometimes it makes me sleep for two hours at a time!  (Don't worry, I figured out how to wiggle free...)

Of course, no first month would be complete without some time spent pondering the meaning of life...

I even got to go on a date with Mommy and Daddy for their sixth wedding anniversary!  I got all dressed up...

Then we got frozen yogurt and took a walk in the park...

I learned so much this month!  I wonder what I will learn next month...
