This little booger went to the doctor yesterday and aside from the shots had a pretty good time. She weighs 12 pounds 12.5 ounces {30th percentile} and was 25 inches long {95th percentile}. Can you believe she's almost off the charts for length? Tall and skinny sounds good to me. We had some concerns about a knot of her foot, but it's just baby fat. Everything else was perfect and Dr. Darby was really impressed with our head-holding skills. It turns out, we can start baby food any day now. I'll be adding squash and carrots to the grocery cart tonight and I'm sure there will be a funny post to follow. She had to get four shots, two in each leg, and that was by far the worst part. Thank goodness our SD was there, because mommy seriously teared up. Maybe it's because she never, ever ...

She is the Walrus, Goo goo g’ joob
So I found the cuteness of this romper at Target this week for $4 and there was no way I could pass it up. Do you know Ella has never had a Beatles tee? I realized this week that I have been seriously remiss in the Beatles Education of my girls. Well, no more. My daddy taught me to love those mop tops from a very early age. I don't remember not being able to identify those songs. So, starting yesterday we've been listening to the One album on our way to and from school. Ella is already singing Yellow Submarine around the house, so I'm guessing it's going well. Maybe we'll have a video of that situation pretty soon. ...
A Comparison
After yesterday's post, I thought maybe you'd like to see Ella at three months to compare. These were both taken at their 3 month photo shoots and they're wearing their respective coming home/christening gowns that Gran made. Sophie / Ella What do you think now? ...
Chippy Garden Goodness
Remember these newborns pictures? Well now it's time to share the three-month session. I know I gave you a little sneak-peek last month, but it's time for the full reveal. Hello old man faces, chippy old chair, blooming crepe myrtles, pretty pink rainboots. Of course, we had to sneak a sister shot in there! Since Ella had pics made in her coming home gown at three months, I wanted to do that with Sophie, too. I can't wait to have them hanging side by side in my bedroom. Thanks Sister K, you are awesome, as always. ...
Love Letters: Four Months
Seriously... cutest face on the planet, or what? Sophie, How can you already be four months old? Has it really been a whole month since we spent our lazy days together? You have grown so much since then, both physically and in other ways. You haven't been back to the doctor yet, so I'm not sure how much you weigh, but it can't be more than 12 pounds. All the other mommies comment on how little you are. We think you are just right! You are getting SO long and when I hold you, your legs stretch halfway down my body. Your hands and feet are still so tiny, but boy are those cheeks plumping up. Now that you love laying on your belly and can hold your head up with the best of them, you are spending lots of time on the floor with your toys. You'll lay on your mat and play with your ...
Photo Update
Other than celebrating my anniversary {all by myself} and missing our Sweet Daddy while he traveled for work, we haven't been doing too much around here. We cleaned the house, designed some new stationary and party invitations, snuggled with Garan, and tried out every "baby-occupier" we had in the house! Despite a rough start to my day, its been the best one all week. I had a light day at work, yummy lunch at Panera with my bestie, retail therapy that someone else paid for {thanks, Nana}, sleeping babies, yummy crock-pot tacos and the arrival of SD in less than thirty minutes! ...
the view from here
I don't like ants. AT ALL. They have decided, however, that they like me. They have set up camp in my bathroom, my kitchen and my pantry. They have been taking advantage of my stockpile of Honey Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We are not on good terms. Today, those pesky ants are being taken care of, so I'm working from home. I like the view from my office window, seven floors up, but this one is pretty cute, too. ...
I’m kind of partial to hats
