Fun times!

I'm having so much fun in my jumparoo! I jump and jump until I get sleepy. My feet touch now so I get a good rhythm going. Mom yells "Go, Go, Jump, Jump!" and I think it's really funny!

As I've told you before I love the bath. But now I'm starting to be interested in both toys. My feet are also fun to look at. Instead of kicking all the time I bring my feet up to my face and throw them down hard like a cannon ball!

Speaking of feet, check out these slippers Grandma Mason got for me! They are super soft and they fit me perfectly! I love them. Thanks Grandma! And thanks for coming up and visiting me and playing with me every week. I know mom loves it but I do too:)

Wow, these are awesome! 

Note from Mom: Unexpected Tears

Tonight during Nursing time before bed I decided to try out Toddler tunes on the TV. After Price was done eating I was sitting with him, cuddling him and having some quiet time when a "Please Stay a Baby" tune came on. The song was about what the title explains, baby-please stay a baby. Well, needless to say the tears starting streaming down my face. I don't think I cried baby related tears since the first couple weeks of his life. Well this song did it, I got really emotional. 

I started thinking about how the first 4 months have gone and how the next 4, and the next 4 would go even faster. Before I know it he'll be crawling, walking, running and becoming more independent. Soon he won't be a baby anymore and our snuggle times will be less and less. That made the tears stream faster. Maybe, I thought, when he gets older he'll need me less and less. 

Soon enough, dad came in to rescue the situation. He gave me a tissue and took Price away to read his bed time books. What did I do: switched the music channel. No more toddler music for me, at least for tonight.....

4 months old

I'm 4 months old! I celebrated by hanging out with Grandpa in the morning while mommy had her class. I really love touching Grandpa's beard, it feels so funny! 

I also don't mind being on my stomach anymore, I actually kind of like it because I can hold myself up longer because of my strong upper body muscles. 

Grandma got me a new shirt so now I'm officially signed up for Turtle Track Club. I had a fun time checking out myself in the mirror before I worked out.

I love my feet but this sticker sure felt funny on my foot. My parents are crazy sometimes!

Note from Mom: Wishes come true

Wishes do come true! For the past 5 birthdays I have wished for a healthy baby of our own. Birthdays came and birthdays went and sometimes I had to say, "well, maybe next year" and find other things to be thankful for. Well, today on my 33rd birthday I had to wish for something else because our baby is here, Price is here and we have our baby boy.

 Life has always been good and my 8 years with Kadin have been wonderful. We've been able to travel the world, start and end careers while making new ones and been able to make fun memories with family and friends. But one thing we always dreamed of was having a baby. When we found out I was pregnant we were beyond excited, nervous and thrilled to see what we were having. 

Now Price is here! Price, you are now almost 4 months old and you are the light of my life. Waking up every morning and seeing your smiling face looking up at me brings me such joy. I can not wait for what is to come and what our lives hold together. 

This year I wished for something different but I will always wish for something revolving around you and our family. Can't wait for many more wishes to come true. 

I love you Price, 

Your mommy

Milestones

Lots of exciting things have happened this week! I'll be 4 months next week and I did two big things recently. First, Wednesday was my first day in my own crib. I have a room all to myself now! Mom and dad used to have me sleep in their bed, then the pack and play at the base of their bed and now I have my own bed!! It's so comfortable and the room is nice and quiet and dark which makes it easy for me to sleep. The best part, my sisters, the kitties, don't keep me up anymore when they scratch at the door to be let outside or want to come back in. That was a little annoying. Mom and dad are also very happy because it seems like I sleep longer in my crib. Here is a picture of me taking my first nap in my crib!

We had a snow day this week too! Daddy got to stay home from work and he got to watch the snow fall all night and I got to wake up to a lot of snow on the ground, it was so pretty!

I think the most exciting thing that happened this week is that I rolled over! It was kind of cool. I started on my stomach and before I knew it, I was on my back! I didn't think it was that spectacular but mom sure got excited. I did it so fast she couldn't get a picture....oh well. 

This picture is pretty funny. I had so much fun playing in my jumparoo that I almost fell asleep. I think I worked so hard I tired myself out.

My New Toy

I got a new toy! Grandma and Grandpa Brooking got me a jumparoo! A Zoo Jumparoo. They got it for me because I love to jump so much, even if I can't stand up yet on my own. And don't worry, my feet don't yet touch the ground but daddy put some books underneath my feet so I could touch. It's okay, I'll grow into it. But I really love it! There is so much to look at and it makes funny noises and there is even a monkey! I love monkeys! Thanks G & G!

Where Mommy and Daddy were married

For my 3 month old pictures we went down to the Mukilteo Lighthouse where mommy and daddy were married 8 years ago. It was a beautiful day but boy it was chilly. Good thing I wore my hat! Oh, and guess what? The Seahawks won yesterday! They beat the Saints who won the Superbowl last year. Big upset but you know what....I knew they were going to win, I just knew it. They are going to go to the Superbowl!!
