Giggles and Grins

This past week I have been very active-- rolling all the time, talking, kicking.. even attempting to scoot around. Daddy thinks it looks like I am trying to do a hand stand; but, I am actually trying to crawl... I'll get it sooner or later!! Mommy and daddy better watch out... when I start crawling, I am gonna be all over the place!

Wide Eyed-- mommy is playing with me. I have been more interested in my toys now-- I finally realized how to reach and grab them (and then put them directly in my mouth)... it's took me 4 months to figure that one out!

A little bit of drool never hurt anybody...

Mommy and I playing on the floor.

Me and my cousins cuddling on the couch!

Fun with Gogi!!

I had such a busy weekend... I was at Grandma & Grandpa Jaehning's house most of the weekend because we had lots of family in town. It was my Great Grandmothers' Memorial Service on Sunday. It was a bittersweet time; nice to see family... but I sure wish I could have meet Mattie.

I finally got to meet my cousin Goran and Auntie Nina and Uncle David. I also got to meet my Great Uncle Mark and daddy's cousin Ben. There was some other family in town too... it was so nice to finally meet everyone. We had such a great time together...

Uncle David and I snuggling; he is a natural when it comes to babies-- he sure made me smile!

Gogi with his new Thomas boots... I think he's looking at all the snow here... what a sight for him!

Me and Great Uncle Mark... I took the best nap while sitting with him!

Gogi is helping daddy vacuum

Wide eyed... good thing for the bib, otherwise my dress would have been a mess!

Eating my fists... so yummy!

Me with both of my Grandpas!

Me and Uncle JJ--- I look a little scared here... he is squeezing too tight!

How sweet...

Sleeping between my Grandmas..

Me and Daddy

I am trying to convince Goran that I am fun to play with... he'd rather play with the massager I think.

Me and Gogi are tackling daddy...

Gogi is waking up Uncle JJ

JJ and I are taking a little snooze together.

Cheese!

Uncle Richie took Goran out on the sled... maybe next year I can go!!

Uh-oh... Daddy's famous pottery was destroyed.... (I think Grandma is relieved)

Snoozing with Grandpa Gregg

Cheese Gogi!!

Me with JJ and Erica...the basketball game bored me to sleep!

Such a sweetheart... we will sure miss Gogi!

Me with all my Jaehning Uncles... and Goran of course!!

Me and daddy with Goran & David

Kitty Cat!

Mommy was off from work today, so we got to spend the whole day together. We were busy baking this morning. We have so much fun together. Lately, I have been making lots of noises... I guess sometimes I sound like a kitty, so mommy and daddy think its funny to call me kitty cat! I think it is pretty silly! I am excited to meet my cousin Goran this weekend, and of course the rest of my extended family that will be in town!

Sitting pretty in my new pink dress...

So precious...

I am starting to love tummy time... I have even started to scoot around a little. Before you know it I will be crawling!

Uh-oh....too much tummy time...I just lost my breakfast (sorry if this is too graphic for some of you.. i.e. Brent)

I am a blue jean baby!

Full tummy again.. better watch out!

Peek-a-booo!!

Smirking at mommy!

Playing with my animals... I am a little scared here...

Me and daddy cuddling on the couch.

SNOW DAY

I didn't last too long at daycare today before daddy picked me up. We got so much snow that daddy didn't go to work. Mommy was only at work 3 hours before they closed. It is so snowy here... this is the most its snowed in my lifetime! Mommy got her vehicle stuck in the driveway on her way home!! Don't worry.. daddy got it out. We've spent most of the day cuddling and playing; I love snow days!! But I have to admit, I am getting excited for the snow to go away so I can be outside more!

STATIC ELECTRICITY!!

Gazing out the window... dreaming of a summer day!

Just looking at mommy's stuck car... hmm... how are we gonna get that out?

Close up... it was completly surrounded by several feet of snow!

Daddy to the rescue!! (In his red sweatshirt of course!) :)

4 months!!

I am 4 months old now!! I had my check up yesterday and all is well- I am the picture of health! I now weigh a whopping 13 pounds and am 24.5 inches long! (I guess that's not that big; mommy compared my numbers with Jake and Grant's at this time.. and I am a little peanut) I got shots too.. I barely cried; I am such a tough girl!

Yea!! I am 4 months!

Crawling up mommy's legs..

Taking a Sunday afternoon nap in daddy's chair... he doesn't like it when I steal his chair, but it is just so comfortable!

I really like to pull on mommy's hair.. too bad it's not as long as was before I was born!

Me and mommy laying on the floor.

Fun in Minneapolis!

Last weekend, we went to Minneapolis to watch the NCAA basketball tournament. We stayed in a hotel downtown; my first time staying in a hotel. We got to go swimming, shopping, for walks and to the games. I loved the swimming pool-- didn't cry at all, just kicked and splashed!!

We came home to some excitement on Sunday night with the flood. The river is going down in Breckenridge, but is out of control in Fargo. We pray for all the people in Fargo-Moorhead, pray that the dikes will hold. I am worried about my aunts and uncles... I will be glad when this is all over!

Surprise!! I am in a swimming suit!!

Eating my fist again...

Sporting my suit with the bow on the back; we got this on Friday night in Albertville.

Mommy and I in the pool...

Close up!

All done...

Daddy feeding me at Champs... this was after a busy day of shopping with Grandma and mommy... it was such a beautiful day!

Daddy making me laugh!

Hanging out with grandpa at the hotel...

Hanging out with grandma and grandpa at Hubert's....sporting our Bison gear. (This was on Sunday... mommy and I didn't get to go to the Bison game with daddy on Sunday... but I still have to support my team)

Smiles!!

Getting tired... my bib is a little saturated... lots of drooling lately (hopefully my teeth aren't trying to come)

Daddy and I going to the game... it looked like a little bear pooking out because you could only see my hat.

Sleepy at the game...

USC vs. Michigan State

Wide-eyed... and in a different outfit... hmm...

Lots of stuff to look at....

Our family... cheese!!
