Today I'm 4 Months Old!!

It's so hard to believe that Nevie is 4 months old today. She is so precious and blesses us every morning with a huge smile. It really makes a wonderful start to the day. We had our 4 month check up yesterday. She weighed in at 13 lbs 6 oz and 24 1/4 inches long. She's growing and growing. She's holding up her head pretty well now and grabbing for things. She particularly likes the old school plastic keys that her grandparents on Chad's side bought her. Those things have been around forever ... nice to know that some things never change over time. She kicks up her legs with excitement and babbles like crazy. It's so fun to watch. We love her so!!

See what I mean about her smile?

I discovered that I could kick up my legs!

I'm ready to go for a ride.

Me on my 4 month b-day.

I'm so excited I can't stand it!

Say what? :)

It's tough being us ....

Does Nevie have him wrapped around her finger or what??

It's gotten pretty cold in North Texas ...

Not to worry, I'm prepared for the cold weather.

Do I make a cute little reindeer or what?

What a styling duo ...

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving was particularly special this year because of little Nevie. We are so thankful for her and our family could not be more blessed. This Thanksgiving was also great because both sides of our family celebrated the day together. The day started off with a photo shoot of Nevie in her cute turkey day bibs and hat. She will one day be appalled by these photos, I'm sure. :) Chad fried a turkey and meanwhile I finished up the dishes I made for our family feast to be held at my sister's house. On the way, we had a nice conversation with Nevie's birth mom both wishing each other a Happy Thanksgiving. At my sister's house, we ate great food, played games, played with the kiddos, watched football and looked through all the sale ads in preparation for our traditional early bird shopping spree on Black Friday. It was a glorious day!

The bib says it all.

I'm a cute little turkey.

I'm 3 Months Old!!

Nevie is 3 months old now and is the cutest thing ever!! She sleeps through most of the night now, which is especially nice for Mommy since Mommy is back at work. She gives us a big smile every morning when she wakes up that melts our hearts. She is starting to hold her head up more. She also wants to sit up by herself, but she’s not quite there. She will be though very soon. Nevie loves to be carried facing outward so she can see what’s going on. She watches us and everything around her. She really likes music and bright colors too. She’s getting stronger and bigger by the day. It won’t be long before she’s crawling around and playing with “the girls”!
