New Things I Like

Me and my Rosie!

Have I told you about my new favorite toy Rosie?  She's a flower rattle.  Daddy named her Rosie the Rattler!  I really like when Mommy plays with me and Rosie!  Mommy takes her and shakes her in front of me and then sings "You are my sunshine", except she changes the last part of the song so she sings "so please don't take my Sophia Joy away!".  Anytime Mommy takes out Rosie it makes me smile!  Thank you Titi Nora for my Rosie!

Gam-Maw likes to take me and put me on her knee and bounce me like if I was on a horsey.  And she says "Giddy up horsey!".  I really like that too!  Gam-Maw says I'll probably like crazy rides like daddy because I like to be bounced up and down.  I can't wait until I'm bigger so I can get on a roller coaster!  Mommy says she's not sure if she'll get on the roller coaster with me, but I think if I give her the poochy lip she might get on it with me and Daddy!

I need a few minutes when I wake up from a nap!

I've started to notice the TV.  Mommy has to tell me to stop watching tv during feeding time because I like to turn my head to see the tv and then I drip my milk all over my face!  But there are so many colors on the tv and noises that come from there I can't help but to look at it!  So today Mommy needed to get some laundry separated and decided she would try putting on one of my DVD's on the tv for me.  So she put my bouncer on the bed so I could see the TV and popped one of my Veggie Tales DVD in.  It was a love one.  So I got to see Madame Blueberry and Larry and Sweet Pea.  Mommy says one of her favorite songs is Larry's "I love my lips", and I can see why!  I love my lips too!  I love making bubbles with them!!

Another thing I like is putting my fingers in my mouth and chewing on them! Mommy thinks its because my gums are itchy because I'm getting ready to teethe (she thinks I'm going to be an early teether).  I don't know what's going on with my teeth, I just know that I really like how chewing on my fingers (or Mommy's) feels!

I like sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's bed!

I like exercising too!  All day I kick and kick and kick!  Mommy says I'm going to be good at soccer - which makes my Uncle Tony really happy! He says he's going to teach me how to play soccer! 

The last thing  I want to tell you that I like is that I'm going to Miami next month to visit my Mima and my titis and tios!  I can't wait to see everyone!!!  See you in 5 weeks!

I outgrew my NB clothes - but my 0-3 mths are still HUGE on me!

Like my burp cloth hat?

Lots of Firsts

Like my bunny slippers?

I've had a lot of firsts lately!  In the past couple of weeks I've gone to church for the first time, got my first set of shots, hung out in my Snugli carrier, stayed alone with Gam-Maw, and went to my first dinner party. 

Mommy and Daddy took me to church for the first time two Sundays ago.  The drive to church put me to sleep - it's a long drive, an hour and five minutes! - and I stayed sleeping through the worship.  I started to wake up when the pastor started to preach - he's kinda loud when he preaches, and sometimes he kinda yells - so Mommy took me outside of the sanctuary.  I heard all the babies in the nursery, and some were crying, and even though Mommy told me she wasn't going to put me in there, I got nervous that I'd be with all the crying babies, so I decided it was best just to go back asleep so Mommy would let me stay with her.  Mommy didn't really get to hear the pastor preach though because she was too worried that I was going to wake up and cry.  A nice lady showed Mommy the nursing room where mommys can go and change and feed their babies. So that's where we stayed while Daddy stayed in service.  Daddy liked the service so we went back this weekend.  I woke up during the worship again but right after Mommy changed me and fed me I went straight to sleep.  I was a good girl and stayed sleeping so Mommy could go back into the service.  There was a different man preaching this week and he didn't yell, so it was easier for me to stay sleeping.  Going to church isn't so bad because if I'm a good girl and stay sleeping I get extra cuddle time with Mommy instead of sleeping in my carseat by myself.  :)
 

Me after my first time in my Snugli.

Last week I went shopping with Mommy and Gam-Maw.  Mommy didn't have my stroller with her so she decided to bring the Snugli carrier with us.  While shopping in the mall Mommy put me in the carrier.  At first I wasn't too sure I liked it, but after awhile I just fell asleep.  And it was a good sleep!!!  I think I like this carrier!  I hope Mommy puts me in it again soon!

Last Tuesday was my two month doctor's appointment.  I'm now 9lbs 10oz and 22 inches long.  Doctor says I'm growing just fine and starting at 4 months I can start trying rice cereal :)  My two month visit was also so that I could get my first set of shots.  They first gave me some yummy medicine in my mouth and then surprised me with three needles in my thighs!  The nurse was really fast, but it still hurt me.  I cried, but only for a minute or two.  Mommy was quick to pick me up and comfort me. The nurse said I might get a fever, but I was one of the lucky babies who didn't get a fever. I was just really sleepy the rest of the day.  Mommy gave me extra loving that day and told me how good of a girl I was.  She told me that if I was older she would have gotten me some ice cream for being such a good girl.  I liked that idea! I can't wait until I can have some ice cream!!

On Wednesday morning Mommy left me with Gam-Maw alone for the first time!  It was only for about seven minutes while she ran to the Old Country Store, but I knew she was leaving.  I woke up the minute she left and waited up for her.  I didn't cry, but I did miss her!
Today was filled with a lot of firsts too.  It was the first day I wore a dress, the first time I've worn sneakers, and the first time I went to a dinner party!!!  The dinner party was here at Gam-Maw's house, and it was only with a couple of her friends, but I stayed awake the entire time during dinner and behaved! I didn't cry once!  I wanted to make sure that Gam-Maw let me come back to her next dinner party!  After everyone was done eating though I got hungry and sleepy.  So I had to leave the party early so that I could go to bed.  I can't wait until the next dinner party though so I can put on another dress!!!

Me sleeping with my Daddy!

Oh, you know what else I'm doing now?  Laughing!  But only with Daddy! Mommy's a little jealous that I only laugh with Daddy, but have you met my Daddy?  He's pretty funny!  Mommy did get to hear me laughing with Daddy this week though.  I've been laughing with Daddy for about two weeks now.  I'm still learning how to laugh so I don't do it often.  But once I learn how to do it real well I'll laugh for Mommy!

That was a really long update, but I wanted you to know how I'm doing!  I'm happy and I'm healthy and can't wait to meet all of you who I haven't already! 

Finally wearing 0-3 months clothes!!!
