so many new things every day!

basically it was a week of fun things, some new, some newly discovered. i got to meet mommy's friend kristin and her baby caroline... i was really enamored with her fancy pink heart shirt and didn't care about smiling for daddy and the camera. i also spent a lot of time on my tummy, i am so strong. but i move around a lot so it makes things kind of blurry...

and i have to say hi and thanks to cherie, i just noticed babo a few days ago but he is super fun and cool and i could play with him all day long.

my friend cherie took these great pictures of me last night while my friend sandra kept me smiling with toys and enchanting talk. can't wait for our playdate of soccer and dance dance revolution.

four months old!

Wow! I am four months old! So big! At my doctor's appointment we discovered that I weigh 11lbs 8oz and am 24 and 3/4 inches long. I have moved up in the percentiles and am very healthy (the shots were pretty rough this time though, I had a fever and a few sluggish days as a result). But now I'm back to my happy self, sitting up a lot in my new chair and on my personal couch. I have a new jean jumper as you can see which is very cool. Have to say thank you to my nanny, Kacey, who took these pictures of me while we were playing. She is fantastic and I really like spending a few days a week with her. She takes me to fun places and always dresses me in fabulous outfits! I'll put a picture of her up here soon so you can meet her.

trip to cleveland and some new toys

This past week I went to Cleveland OH to visit some of daddy's high school friends, and while I was there I got to see Grammy and Grampa Hermann (always a treat) and meet some of their friends too. It was so much fun, I finally convinced mommy to sit in back with me for our car rides and now I don't mind road trips as much. I also got a new chair that is bright orange and makes me feel like a big girl sitting up on my own!
