Happy Bathtub time

I had attempted a "big girl bath" before, but did not enjoy it. My daddy made the water ice cold, because he was afraid that he would burn me. I cried and cried the whole time, and usually I love getting clean. My mommy thought that last night would be a great time to give it another chance, and I didn't mind one bit!

Mommy gently dipped me in the water a few times before the big plunge!

At first, I was a little confused.

The washcloth on my belly felt familiar, so I went with it.

Sparky was even interested to see my reaction.

I loved the water being poured on my belly. Except when mom accidentally splashed some in my mouth.

My favorite part of any bath time is when my mommy washes my hair. 

I have to get my back washed thoroughly, because I poop out of my diaper on a daily basis.

My mommy is about to hand me over to daddy so I can be wrapped up in my towel and dressed. I think we will have another big girl bath tonight! 

Joli is here!

Meet my new cousin Joli. She was born February 20th. She is not as big as I was, coming in at 7lbs. 12oz, but she does have chunky cheeks!

Here I am on my way to meet my little cousin. You can't tell from my face, but I was very excited.

My Uncle Jake has me, and my daddy has Joli in this picture. Uncle Jake always teases me about my weight, but I don't ever comment on his hair line :).

I am almost double Joli's size, but I think she will catch up soon!

Here's another picture of us together, me looking like a monster in comparison.

My Marmee has to learn how to double fist us.

Marmee and Poppie will have double the fun with their two new additions!

My mommy lined us up from oldest to youngest. I am the only one who cooperated with her plan. I know better than to misbehave for my source of food.

Here's a close up shot of me at Joli's house practicing being a big cousin.

My Big Granny

Meet my Big Granny! She will be 90 years old on April 1st. This is a picture of us when she came to visit me during my first week at home. Don't let her sweet face fool you, she is where my mommy and I get our ability to be feisty :).

I put on my polka dot shirt and jeans for the drive to Dayton! I wanted my Big Granny to see how much I've grown!

She picked me up as soon as I got there. I smiled and cooed at everyone, of course I was a hit.

I did manage to have an explosion in my diaper (it even got on mommy's sweater!!), so here I am in a comfy sleeper with my Great Aunt Alice.

Granny had to get her hands on me one more time before I left. I can't wait to visit again and cuddle her!

My first Valentine's Day

I had a great first Valentine's week! My mommy dressed me in lots of different Valentine inspired outfits to celebrate love!

This is what I wore to my debut at church.

Here I am with my mommy!

This is a picture of me with my mommy and daddy on Valentine's Day. My Marmee came over to watch me while mommy and daddy went to eat and to buy me more stuff!

Do you see my big smile??? That's because I'm wearing my favorite shirt- if you can't read it, it says "my heart belongs to my mommy."

Above and below are cute Valentine inspired sleepers. I choose comfort over fashion at this point, but I humor mommy.

I wore this outfit when I visited my mommy's class! I also went to the doctor and got my first round of shots (ouch!). I was such a big girl, and I was proud of my mommy for only tearing up a little bit. The good news about going to the doctor- I found out how much weight I've gained and how much I've grown. I'm 12 pounds 4 ounces, and 23 inches long!! Can you believe I'm only 7 weeks old? I am now wearing 3 month clothing, sadly my mommy has tucked away my newborn stuff.

I had a fun weekend! My mommy went to my daddy's basketball game on Friday night (don't ask how it turned out), so I got to spend some QT with my snuggle partner AKA Marmee.

Although Friday nights game did not turn out like we had hoped, my daddy's team still received 1st place for the regular season! We are so proud of him! My mommy is extra excited that the season is over and my daddy will be coming home earlier every day!

My Saturday started out with a princess party for my fellow  princess Mia. I basically slept through the party, but that didn't stop Mia from loving on me lots!

Here I am lounging on my daddy after the party.

I will be able to buy cars on Auto Trader and download ringback tones onto my cell phone at a very early age.

I went on my first walk on Saturday!! It was a beautiful day, and so much fun!

Here I am with my mommy.

These are a couple of random pictures that have been taken of me in the last week....

My eyes are still very blue.... my daddy can't wait for them to turn brown so I look like a Mountjoy!

Can you find me in the sea of pink?

Aunt Kim and Alyssa are here!

I was so excited to finally meet my aunt Kim and Alyssa! They flew all the way from California to see me!

Alyssa knows how I like to be held.

I loved snuggling in aunt Kim's neck- sorry for all of your discomfort!

I liked hanging out with the girls at Austin's house.

I did manage to take a break for some "me time."

You can't really tell how adorable I look here, but trust me- I was cute! I had on a denim jumper skirt with tights and leopard print boots . My mommy let me wear it to aunt Peggy's house long enough for everyone to see me, then she changed me into pjs!
