New Toy

Cecilia and I visited my friend Sara at Happy Cakes today. Sara gave Cecilia a new used excersaucer. I thought that Cecilia was going to be too little for it, but she loves it! She likes how it stands her up, and she loves all of the fun things to play with on it. YAY! It is perfect timing because she is going to be outgrowing her playmat very soon. Thank you Sara!!

Anti-Nap

It is 12:15PM. Cecilia has been awake since 6AM. She has taken two 10 minute naps, and I am going to pull my hair out. I think that I have the only baby in the world that is soooo tired, but won't nap. Seriously! What other 4 month old does this?!?!??!!

Turkey Anyone?

We celebrated Cecilia's first Thanksgiving at my Aunt Jenny and Denise's house. The food was delicious! We brought the mashed potatoes, and we started a new tradition and brought Butternut Squash Soup, it was so good! It was a small gathering for my family, only 15 people were there. It was great to visit with everyone, and share in the spirit of giving thanks for all that we have. Jon's Dad also joined us, it was nice to spend time with him.

Cecilia wanted to eat right as our dinner was being served (of course) and then she slept for two hours. She was having difficulty falling asleep in a new place, but Daddy's chest was the perfect bed.

Thankful...

On a Roll

Yesterday, Cecilia rolled over from her back to her tummy. We are in trouble now! She did it three times, and it was great because the first time she did it, both Jon and my Mom were there to see it too. It was great to experience one of her firsts with Jon and Grandma.




Cecilia and I were lucky enough to be able to visit Grandma and Pops for a few days earlier this week. We had a nice relaxing visit. Grandma and I discovered that Cecilia already has a thing for chocolate...

9 Years

I'm being nostalgic today, and a little mushy. Consider yourself warned.

Nine years ago today, Jon and I had our first date. It was the Sadie Hawkins Dance, yes, I had to ask him! He kissed me that night, and the rest is history. Its hard to believe that we have been together that long. Jon has become my best friend and partner, a wonderful husband and fantastic father.
