Work It Girl

Well it's official...I had my first modeling job!  Mommy's friend made her this pretty necklace and she now uses my picture on her website.  Isn't that exciting!  Mommy really loves her necklace because it has my picture and real footprints on it.  If you click here it will take you to the her friend's etsy site so you can get more information about the necklace and other neat things!

Mommy and Me

All dressed up and nowhere to go!  Even in this fancy coat I can't manage to get my hair to lay down.  It is still super spiky in the back, but we kind of like it that way! :)

Don't you just love my spiky hair?!

 Hanging out with Mommy!

I love her!!

Halloween Fun

For my first Halloween I was a lady bug!  Mommy made my costume, and I really didn't mind wearing it.  Mommy and Daddy said that I was too small to go trick or treating this year so we stayed at home and I helped them pass out candy.  However, we did sneak over to our neighbor's house so I could get a little trick or treating practice for next year. :)

Growing

Mommy had another picture idea...thanks to Pinterest!  Here are some pictures of me taken in the same outfit when I was 4 days old, 5 weeks old, and 12 weeks old.  It's amazing how much I've changed in such a short amount of time.  Mommy is hoping to take a picture of me in the same outfit at 6, 9, and 12 months old.  It should be pretty interesting considering I barely fit into the outfit at 3 months and I think that headband is starting to get a little snug too.  Stay tuned to see how it turns out! :)

When the Mommy's Away...

A few weeks ago Daddy and I hung out while Mommy went to dinner with her friend Stephanie.  When she came home this is what she found...

I can't wait for the next time that Daddy babysits!! :)

Ahhh...

There's nothing better than hanging out in jammies and slippers on a cold fall day!

Meeting Great Grandma Jean

On our way home from Brown County we made a detour to Walton so I could meet my Great Grandma Jean (or Grandma Great, as she calls herself).  I was hoping to meet my Great Grandma Corina too, but she was sick.  I was such a smiley girl for Grandma Jean!  I think she thought I was pretty special.  I can't wait to see both of my great grandmas at Christmas time!!

Smile from Grandma Great!

I think she was happy to meet me! :)

Me giving some smiles.

4 Generations of Babers

Brown County

Every year my family has a tradition of going to Brown County in Nashville, Indiana.  My Grandma Becky and Grandpa Jim have been going there for 30 years!  Mommy has been talking about going for weeks and I didn't know why she was so excited...but now I totally get it!  It was such a fun time.  We got to stay in a family cabin in the state park.  I did a great job and didn't even wake up Uncle Jimmy...just like Mommy said I wouldn't.   :)  While we were there my great Uncle Tim and Aunt Cile, and cousin Ben were also there.  On Friday us girls lounged around the cabin in the morning while the guys went golfing and then we went shopping in town.  That night we went out for the prime rib buffet dinner.  My great Aunt Teresa and her friend Tracy came and had dinner with us.  After dinner we all went back to the cabin and hung out.  I had such a fun day that I went right to bed while the grown ups stayed up and played games.  On Saturday we did more shopping and eating.  I even got kicked out of my first bar!  Who knew Mommy couldn't hold me while standing on the deck of a bar!  I did great while shopping, but I was worn out by dinner time.  Since I was so tired I was a bit cranky.  Mommy and Daddy had to eat their dinner in shifts.  One of them would hold me in the lobby while they other one ate their dinner.  Mommy said it's a good thing I'm cute...I think that's a good thing.  I had a blast on my first mini-vacation!  I can't wait to go back next year.  Here are a few pictures from the weekend.  I'll post more once I get them from uncle Tim. :)

Who Knew Vitamin D Was So Yummy?!

Since I'm a breastfed baby I have to take a vitamin D supplement.  But don't worry, I LOVE it!  Every time Mommy and Daddy give it to me I suck it down and smile.  They thought maybe they were missing out on something so Mommy and Daddy decided to try it.  They said it was disgusting!  I wonder what that means.

 Just look at all of that yummy goodness in the dropper!

Ahh...that hits the spot!

Best Friends

I have a new best friend.  His name is Freddy...Freddy the Firefly!  He goes with me everywhere.  One day Mommy found us playing peek-a-boo!

Freddy is such a good friend he even lets me chew on his leg!

A Daddy and His Daughter

A post from Mommy...

It is hard to believe that it has already been 3 1/2 months since Ashlyn has joined our lives.  I am still amazed that she is ours!   She has such a sweet spirit and is constantly taking my breath away.  I love that little girl so much, and I know that her daddy loves her just as much!  I've always known that there is a special bond between a daddy and his little girl, but there is something almost magical about watching their relationship unfold in front of my eyes.  I love the way that he looks at her, and it melts my heart when she gets so happy because she is in her daddy's arms.  If there is one thing that this little girl won't lack in her life it is love!  I am reminded daily that God has blessed me beyond measure...

This was taken when Ashlyn was just days old.
