I"m a Big Girl, Now!!

Wow!  It's been a big week for me since our last chat!  Well, actually it was a big weekend.  It started Friday night when I moved to my own room!  Mommy and Daddy have their room back (except when I come in to cuddle in the morning).  So I'm a big girl sleeping in her big girl bed when Mommy decided we could kick it up a notch.

When I was born I was so little that I couldn't fit into the car seat that Mommy and Daddy had for me so they had to get one that fit me.  I've been in it for the last few months, but like a couple of big kids, Mommy and Daddy wanted to use the cool car seat.  So this weekend when we went out on Saturday I went in my stylish new car seat and it fit and worked beautifully!

Of course the great thing about getting to use my new car seat is that I also get to start using my big girl stroller!  See my car seat fits on my stroller which is awesome!  So to celebrate we went to Franklin, IN.  We strolled around downtown after Mommy and Daddy had lunch at this restaurant they had been wanting to try for a while called The Willard.  

It was my second time in a grown-up restaurant.  My first was Thursday when Mommy and I spent some time with my Aunt Jaimy.  We went to this really neat tearoom called The Sassafras Tea Room.  So I guess technically my big week started Thursday.  

And to finish it up I had my 2 month appointment with Dr Hoffman yesterday.  I weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 5 oz.  I've almost doubled my birth weight.  Mommy was so excited!  Dr Hoffman was really happy with how I was doing.  I'm doing so well my next appointment isn't until the end of December.  So here is what a big girl looks like.....

Anyway, it's been a huge week with lots of progress for me!  Until next time!

Baby Confusion!

So I'm a little confused everyone!  Maybe someone can help me.  I think my Mommy might be going crazy!  She's been working on a Halloween costume for me...  Does she even realize that #1 I'm too little to go Trick or Treating & #2 Nobody is going to see me in this outfit?  She really is having way too much fun with this outfit!  

The other thing that confuses me is that while she's working on this she's had me helping her with Christmas shopping for Daddy and picking up Christmas decorations!  I'm little so I get confused easy so I'm not sure is it Christmas or Halloween first?  

Anyway on a less confusing note I got to meet my future dentist today.  Mommy had to go have Dr Frazee check her teeth out and I got to meet him and all the girls in the office.  He seems really nice.  Maybe I won't get scared when it gets time for me to see him.  Right now I was more worried about keeping my paci in my mouth.  I was a little disappointed though because my princess paci needed clean so I didn't get to show that off.  Have I shown you my princess paci?  Here's a picture of what it looks like!

I have both of the pink ones.  One to remind everyone of my Princess status.  The other when I want to pretend I'm having tea.  They are much more fashion forward than the plain clear ones Mommy had for me before...

So last week I got to go to the Covered Bridge Festival, sort of...  I got to go to some of the flea markets and yard sales that set up on the way to the actual festivals.  Mommy & Daddy seem to only go to the festivals themselves for the food and Mommy said that the crowds were just too big there for me to go to the towns where the actual festivals take place.  We did get some really good stuff though.  Mommy found some jewelry and Disney stuff to sell on eBay, Daddy found some really nice chairs for our fireplace room and of course I got a book.  It's the best book ever...

Isn't it appropriate?  So everyone can please call me by my correct name, Princess Baby :-)

So that's the excitement of my life right now.  Oh!  Here Mommy thought some of you might enjoy seeing a couple more pictures that Miss Crystal took.  All of them turned out so nice!!!

This picture is of me wearing the dress that MaMaw Schrougham wore home from the hospital.  I got big enough to wear it just in time for our pictures.  The blanket was a present from Daddy's work.  

In this picture I'm wearing the dress that my Great-Grandma Sutton got for my Grandma Vieck to put Mommy in when she brought her home from the hospital.  I couldn't wear it home from the hospital, but I fit in it just in time to get a picture with Mommy and Daddy's teddy bears along with all of my other stuffed animals and of course, Molly, my first dolly, who finally is smaller than me!

Until next time....

My Birthday Week

Hey everybody!  I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been so busy!  Daddy was home all last week so we had all sorts of stuff that needed to be done.  Mommy and Daddy got some decorations up at our house, Mommy took me on my first trip to the library and they did some organizing around our house (I didn't help with that).  I got my first official pictures taken by Mommy & Daddy's friend Miss Crystal on Saturday.  I had a little trouble cooperating, but she's good so she managed to get some good pictures of me.  Don't you think?

She even took our first family picture....

Aren't we a cute little family?

We ended our week with Daddy by taking a trip to the Indianapolis Art Museum and walking around the grounds (another first for me).  It was a really pretty fall day for that and I even got to tour my first old house when we went through Oldfields while we were there.  

This week, Monday was the day I was suppose to be born.  Do you think that means that I need to have two birthday parties every year?  The day I was born and the day I should have been born.  Of course if I do what my cousin's Andrea, Ashley and Ally do I get to have a birthday month.  So if I have two birthday's I get two birthday months and that's lots of attention and presents!  Uh oh.... Mommy says that's not the way things work though and I don't get to have two birthdays.  Can anybody help me change her mind?  

My Busy Life

Hi everyone!  It's been a little bit since my last update, but I've been so busy!  I'm really excited this week because Daddy is home with me and Mommy.  We've been getting all sorts of things done.  Well.... Mommy & Daddy have been at least.  We have all sorts of pictures and stuff up on the walls and on the fireplace.  Mommy says it finally looks and feels like we live here.  She even said she can live with the wallpaper that's still up.  Between the stuff that she and Daddy had to decorate with it looks pretty good.  So whoever comes to visit gets to see our snazzy newly decorated house!

In other news...  I've started to wear Newborn clothes!  I'm outgrowing my preemie outfits really fast!  The newborn outfits are a little big on me, but I can fit in them.

Don't I look cute?

This weekend I get to have my picture taken.  Mommy & Daddy's friend Miss Crystal is coming to take some pictures at my house so I will have my official princess portraits!  Maybe we'll even have some taken with my little tiara....  We'll have to see!
