Easter

We made it through Easter!  It was a very busy weekend but we made it and Whitley was awesome.

On Sunday I let Whitley sleep as long as she wanted.  She woke up at about 7, which for me is sleeping in so I was excited!  After I got her fed and changed I went to get her Easter basket for her to open.  The Easter bunny was good to her and she was excited!  I have the picture to prove it.

See, I told you she was excited.  She took everything out of her basket one by one and of course each one went straight in her mouth.  After she was done checking everything out I decided I would see if she would fit in her basket, and guess what...

She did! Along with all of her goodies.

We then went to church.  After church we went down to my parents house.  Before we changed out of our Easter outfits we had my sister take a picture.  This is the first family picture we have had in months.

After eating lunch we opened Easter baskets that my parents got for all the grand kids and Whitley got this cute penguin and she loves it!  Here is her playing with it last night.  And yes, she is sitting all by herself!  She is still working on staying up longer but she does stay for a few minutes at a time.

Well, the penguin is bigger than her, but oh well!  She is getting big and I am enjoying EVERY minute of it!

She is rolling

Well she finally did it!  Whitley rolled over from back to front!  She started this on Tuesday night.  I didn't get her first roll on video but I did get the second one.  I did get her first scooting forward on video though!  I was going to wait to write this blog until I could figure out how to post the video with it, but decided not to.  I will post the video later.


After she rolled over the second time I was sitting there talking to her and she then dug her foot in and pushed herself forward.  She hasn't scooted anymore, but she trys to all the time.  We play in the floor every night and she is allways trying to scoot forward, but most of the time it rocks her up on her arms and chest and doesn't move her.  I am so proud of her, she will be crawling in no time.


I love every minute with her or just thinking about her.  She has changed my life so much.  I could never imagine my life without her.  Can you tell I'm a proud momma?

4 Months

Whitley,


I cannot believe that you are 4 months old already!  You are such a blessing.  You have changed so much since you were born and you continue to change everyday.  Just last night you almost and I mean almost rolled over from your back to your belly.  You have been working on this for awhile.  Last night you were rolled up on your sided and grabbing at the blanket with your hand trying to get a grip to roll the rest of the way over.  I was holding my breath the whole time!  You are also about to get your first tooth!  It isn't all the way through yet but you can see it and feel part of it.


At your last doctors appointment on April 4, 2011 you had to have you shots :(  You are weighing 11 pounds 9 ounces and 23.5 inches long.  You are just a petite little thing!  You are still in size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.  I am really starting to get nervous about your summer wardrobe situation since all of it is size 3-6!


At this point you are still a momma's girl and cry for most other people.  You think your Grandma Joy is really funny!  You don't cry for her much and I think that is because she sounds like mommy.  You are still warming up to Grandma Jan.  You are getting better about not crying as much for daddy either.


I am guessing that within the next month you will be crawling, since you are starting to pull your legs up and trying to scoot when you are on you belly now.  I am excited to see that.  I think you will be chasing Chubbs and Diesel everywhere!  They will have a blast with that.


You mean everything in the world to me, my sweet baby girl!  You have changed my life like no one else can.  I love you so very much.


Love you sweet baby girl,


Mommy
