Four Months Old

Wow - Lillie turned four months old this week. She is getting so big!

Happy, happy girl!

Look who likes Lillie now! He actually laid by her!

Mother like Daughter - Loves her chocolate cereal!

Don't mind the mess - we are still moving in...

Cute hat her aunt made for her

What we remember at four months:

-You love to play with your toys
-You can scoot around on your back and try to do crawling motions when you are on your stomach, but haven't quite figured out how to move.
-She learned to spit and loves to do it (Coincidentally she started doing this after spending the day with grandma Ann, hmm...)
-She can roll from back to front and vice versa - you only do it occasionally
-Still a great sleeper - sleeps about 8 hours straight a night
-Loves the babysitter's kids - no one can get her to laugh like they can.

Home Sweet Home

Our house is done and we are all moved! It is great to be in our new house!


One day we will have a million houses surrounding us - so I wanted to get pictures to remember how great it was to be all alone.

36.2 pounds more to go, but here the change from losing 20 lbs in less than 2 months! I know I still have quite a bit more to go, but I couldn't be happier with the results so far!

Worse than labor...

My day started out normal, but I got the great experience of having a root canal! I called the dentist this morning after months of pain and they sent me to an endodontist where I received my fortunate experience of the root canal. I thought I was only their for a consultation to see if I really needed a root canal. (Which we all knew after two different dentist opinions and a couple of fillings later, but I was in denial) and all of sudden he has the Novocaine ready for my mouth. Then 30 seconds later they put the rubber thing in my mouth that feels like you are suffocating - I have never come so close to having a panic attack in my life - I was more scared than having the baby.

Well I was able to breathe it out and I was actually able to drink cold water tonight - which was worth all the panic!

On a happier note - we had a great Thanksgiving! It was SO relaxing to have a four-day weekend. We watched Christmas specials and just spent time with Lillie and family all weekend! On Thanksgiving we spent the day at my mom's house with my grandmas, Craig's, Patti's and Alan's Family. It was great and I went way over my calorie limit for the day (which was worth it then, but I am paying for it now)

Happy Thanksgiving - Josh said we needed traditions so w can remember holidays - All I could come up with is dressing nice on Holidays - so here we are all dressed up for the occasion (This is what we wear to work, so it is actually easier than dressing down)

It wouldn't be a party with my family without card games!Someone else had too much to eat and passed out during Thanksgiving

We should be closing in less than a week! Here is picture of our kitchen so far. They still have to put in carpet and and do all the finish work and hopefully fix all the holes in the walls they made today (it looked like someone forgot to wire something so they had to run new wires)

As far as the weight loss...um, I overdid it on Thanksgiving and I have nothing new to report...hopefully by this weekend. However, I did pack up all my maternity clothes because they no longer fit and I fit back into to my previous clothes (They don't look the same, but they fit...)
