Mmmm...cereal!!

This past week we started Allie on cereal. The first couple of times I think she wore more than she ate, but she is slowing starting to get the hang of it. The different funny faces she made were priceless...too bad we didn't get many on camera!!

Before picture..

Here we go..
Not so sure about this..
Okay I will have some more..
I still will eat my hands over cereal any day!!

4 months already!!

Allie had her 4 month check-up today. She weighed 14 lbs 5 ozs and was 25.5 inches long!!! She is growing like a weed!! I started back to work last Monday and its going good so far....Jason is getting more daddy time since I have to work nights and weekends. He even brought her to work a couple of times so I could see her.

Some things Allie has been up to:

• Drooling, drooling and more drooling
• Lots of smiling
• Tons of cooing...I think she likes to hear herself talk and also loves to see how loud she can make her sounds:)
• Putting anything and everything into her mouth
• She can now roll over from tummy to back and back to tummy
• Still the love of our lives and makes us happier each and every day!!!:)
  

Enjoying some mommy time!!

I just love this picture...it was taken a couple of weeks ago when Grandpa and Grandma Hermann came to visit!

Back Home...

We just got back from our vacation to Gulf Shores last night. We went with my moms side of the family, ate lots of good food and had a great time. I highly recommend eating at Bahama Bobs, the Oyster House, Lu Lu's and Boudreauxs' Seafood. The girls had fun shopping and laying out on the beach while the boys enjoyed golf and deep sea fishing.

Allie was a very good baby...she just loves being outside and who wouldn't love the beach:) I go back to work on Monday and feel real sorry for Ruth, our babysitter, Allie was played with/held all week!! Hopefully she adjusts well!! I think it will be harder for me than her!

Some things we learned on vacation:

• Jellyfish do sting
• Make sure you have your ID if you are going to The Hangout
• Dramamine does calm a person down
• Waves can/do knock you down
• Cell phones don't float
  
• Karaoking with strangers can be fun
• Girls can deep sea fish too!
• My grandparents can stay up past midnight
• A dry docked battleship can still make a person nauseous
• Parasailing is not as scary as it looks
• Bouncy seats are lifesavers on the beach
• The food isn't good unless Ed has it on his shirt!!

Thanks everyone for making our first family vacation a memorable one!!

Stop, Drop and Roll!!

Allie surprised me today and decided to roll over!!! She was in her crib and when I went back in to check on her she was on her tummy!! I had to put her on the floor and see it for myself. She has been rolling over ever since...she even did it for Jason when he came home. She can only go from her back to tummy now, but I am sure it won't be long before she masters going the other way. Wow what a day!!! It's amazing how fast they grow up!!

I think I can...

YAY!! I did it!!

Entertaining Picture!?!?

Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture?
