4 months!

Hey all!  It's been quite awhile since I've been on here.  A lot has been going on since then.

Probably the biggest change for us was Momma going back to work.  While typically this the can be quite an ordeal for most moms where they leave their babies in someone else's care I have been VERY lucky.  Why?  Because Grandma M came to stay with us for the first three weeks :).  While Grandma was here Momma works 4 days a week so that gives her an extra day to relax and keep the house situated.




While Grandma was here I discovered my first allergy...baby formula.  Crazy huh?  Grandma gave me some formula.  It tasted horrible so I spit it out and it ran down my face and onto my chest.  Then those areas that touched the formula turned red and I broke out into hives.  I tried one other brand and it didn't taste all too good either so I spit it out and my face also turned red but no hives that time.  Momma and Daddy are trying to find a brand that is compatible for me, but I think I'll just stick with Momma's milk.

After Grandma left Momma started working three days a week and those days I get to stay with Miss Ellen.  I have fun there and she takes good care of me :)

I got to experience my first 4th of July.  It was really fun.  Brandon and Payton brought their kids Lucas and Kaitlyn so it was nice to have some other little ones to play with.  Brent and Roxanne came to visit us from Jacksonville and they brought a cute little Chihuahua named Bella.  Rob and Jennifer also came over for awhile and brought some South Carolina style bbq sauce to put on the pulled pork Daddy made.  Once it got dark Daddy and his friends started lighting off fireworks.  It was kinda of scary all the noise they were making.  In fact Sienna was so scared she hid under the bed and wouldn't hardly go outside for the next few days.  They also caught the woods on fire a few times.  Fortunately Daddy had a garden hose handy ;)

I've picked up some new skills since last time I talked to y'all.  I am now very aware of my surroundings and am constantly looking around to see what's going on.  I've also learned how to rollover from my back to my belly.  When I'm playing on the floor I can go back and forth between my belly and my back.  The only problem I'm having is when I'm in bed I rollover to my belly and it wakes me up so I make all kinds of noise until Mommy or Daddy come and flip me to my back.


Well it's been nice visiting with y'all!  Hope to see you soon!
