So, as many of you know, I've added baby hats to my business!
Poor Edith gets stuck being my little baby model.
She really hates hats, but I manage to get a few cute pictures out of her before the tears start!
And after we were done, she was being so cute, so of course I had to snap a few cute naked ones.

Easter
Okay, so I'm playing catch up ...
Rather than have everyone over to our house for Easter (read: lazy), Brian's parents offered to have us all out to Meadowbrook Country Club for Easter Sunday lunch. It was delicious, and so nice to not have to cook :)
Edith met the Easter bunny and was not afraid (yet). She was much more interested in eating her dress ... Next year should be interesting.
Although the weather was horrible ... it rained literally all day, it was really nice to spend the holiday with the whole family.
I wish we had gotten more pictures with the family, but Edith decided to nap during lunch, and then was more than ready to go home and eat when we finished.
We got home, fed the baby, and then had a little mini photo shoot.
I'm hoping for a nice, sunny weekend soon so we can get some family photos taken!

4 months
Holy cow Edith, you are 4 months old!! Time sure seems to be slipping by ever so quickly ... it is hard to remember life before you sometimes!
Today you had your four month check up!
Here is a bit about what you are doing these days:
You still sleep through the night. You go to bed around between 9:30 and 10 and wake up generally around 8:30. I'm not sure what time you actually wake up, as you really enjoy playing by yourself and babbling away for a while before I actually wake up and come get you. You nap four times per day, for about an hour. You sleep wonderfully on your back at night swaddled in your SleepSack, but will only nap on your tummy during the day. You get a little fussy right before you're ready to nap, and I can usually just lay you down awake, and you will put yourself to sleep. You nurse yourself to sleep at night. You also love your Sleep Sheep set on the ocean waves sound to fall asleep to.
You are still exclusively breastfed and we have an awesome schedule right now. You are eating 5 times per day and you generally eat around 4-6 ounces each time. The doctor says we can start feeding you rice cereal whenever we feel like, so we will probably try it out later this week just for fun. I don't think we'll really start feeding you much else until around 6 months, or whenever you seem ready!
You are wearing mostly 3-6 month clothes, and 0-3 month pants, with a few 0-3 month favorites thrown in. It really depends on the brand and style of clothes. You can't wear your 0-3 month pjs anymore, as they are not long enough. We have a problem with pants because the 0-3 month pants fit you pretty well, but they are a little short, and the 3-6 month pants are too big in the waist, but are long enough! You are wearing size 1 diapers. I am not sure what size shoe you wear, because you haven't worn any yet!
You love to stand up! Your jumperoo is your favorite activity during the day. You HATE tummy time. You will only tolerate it for a few minutes before you get really mad. You still love our morning highchair playtime. We have lots of fun new toys for you to play with, and you definitely have your favorites. You have given up your paci!! You much prefer your fingers now. You love to talk and will babble away. You are learning that you can now make many different sounds with your voice and have different pitches too. You can always make me laugh! You found your feet!! You love to grab them and look at them, and you can almost put them in your mouth. It's really quite hilarious! You will now entertain yourself for quite a while on your back. You love to just lay on a blanket and talk to yourself and play with your feet! You have the absolute cutest smile. You only reserve it for you favorite people. I can always get a huge grin out of you, and so can your daddy. You also smile at Granny, Grampy, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Stine, and Aunt Koz. You only give your smile to certain strangers. You have also become quite attached to your mommy. We've had a few issues with "Mommyitis" so that is something we will have to work on. You're only comfortable with certain people, and will tolerate others for a short time before you want to find me. I hope that's everything ... you are growing and learning so fast, sometimes it's hard to remember it all!
You are seriously the best baby ever. We love you more than life itself!
Today you had your four month check up!
- You weigh 13.5 lbs - 46th percentile
- You are 24.5 in - 57th percentile
- Your head measures 16.1 in - 51st percentile

Blogging Fail
Well ... it's official that I am horrible at updating this!! I will try to be better now that Edith is on a pretty good schedule :)
Here's a little bit that has been going on:
Here's a little bit that has been going on:
Hanging out with Mommy on the couch
Doesn't she look so ornery in this picture??
We got a new toy!!
Edith and her purple mouth :( Gentian Violet is yucky stuff!
Then we got another new toy - this is her favorite by far!
Being silly with Mommy - she loves to stick her tongue out!
She was having so much fun in her highchair that she just couldn't take it anymore LOL
Sleeping peacefully - like a little frog :)
And she talks!!

That's all I have for now :) We are currently working on rolling over (front to back) and sitting up! Although she'd much rather be standing or playing in her jumperoo. More updates to come with her 4 month post - less than a week away! YIKES!
