It's my "pre" birthday!

Who gets a "pre" birthday... I'll tell you who, I do! Auntie Lynne sent me a tickle monkey that cracks me up and a cute birthday outfit. Part of which I wore to Spencer's 5th b-day party on Sunday (I'm saving the tutu part for my b-day :-)). Then I get to Spencer's awesome party and had a great time swimming and playing only to be given a new ride and super fun toy (Mama says it's "educational") to use when I left. I'm the luckiest girl!

It's my birthday... 9 months today. I went to the doc this week and I weigh 16 lbs. 5 oz. and am 27.5 inches tall. I say "tall" instead of "long" because I can stand so well. In this video you can see my standing/clapping ability that I honed in KY/TN on my recent trip. I also can imitate the motor boats I saw on the lake in TN. Mama says I'm a good traveler. Loved seeing all the family in KY/TN hopefully will post some video soon from our trip as well.

I'm three months old, plus a little story

I went the see Dr. Susie yesterday. I weigh 10 lbs. 7.5 oz. and am 22 3/4 inches long. I've doubled my weight and grown more than 4 inches! Mom says I'll be outgrowing the sink and my little bath tub very soon.

A Little Story: One day, a few years back my Grandma Murphy was visiting my folks and they took her to the quilting Mecca of SoCal. So my Mom sees a bunch of baby quilts and says, they are really cute... when we have a baby I'd like something like that. So Grandma Murphy says, if you don't think it will jinx it I'd like to have you all pick some patterns and I'll make you one. At this point my folks had already been waiting for me a couple years... so my Mom (knowing I would eventually come) said, that would be great. Fast forward a few years and here we are... me and my quilt... finally together!

One Month B'day

Hello,

Well today I am one month old! Different than being four weeks old as in my previous post. I am exactly 22 years and 11 months younger than my Uncle Justin... his 23rd birthday is today. Uncle Justin is my Daddy's little brother. Happy Birthday Uncle Justin!!! Daddy learned a lot about babies from Uncle Justin because Uncle Justin was born when my Daddy was 14 years old so he helped with bottles, diapers, playing, etc. My Dad says that sometimes when I'm sleeping I remind him of Uncle Justin when he was a baby... even though I'm a girl.

Here is a picture of my Daddy "hands free" so he can work while he cuddles me. I'm that bump on his chest... if you look close you can see my face, I'm happily sleeping.
