Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter holiday with Grandma-ma, Grandpa Special, Grandma Honey, G-Pop, and Aunt Jenny. It was the first time since everybody saw each other since the baby was born. It was very filling, relaxing, and lots of fun!

 

Busy, Busy, Busy

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. We have been very busy with all of our activities. It's tough being a stay-at-home mom when you're not home much. We keep busy with Mommy working at Kids Corner at the YMCA, teaching 5-7 cycling classes a week, daily walks, going to breastfeeding support group, baby yoga, story time at the library, and lots and lots of playing together.

Lorelei is getting quite a personality. To just name a few of her likes/dislikes--She likes waking up smiling and happy and will play by herself in the crib until we come get her. She likes the exersaucer and many toys--especially her play tv remote control. She likes playing the bicycle game and chewing on anything she can get in her mouth.
She does not like avocado, her face/nose being washed, getting weighed, and being on her tummy for too long.

Here are some pics and likes/dislikes from the last 2 weeks.

       

 

 

Likes: I always get excited when Mommy gets the camera out. 

 

Dislikes: This is a rare photo of Lorelei not crying while she gets weighed at our breastfeeding support group.

 

Likes: Just like my parents, I have great taste in music.

 

Likes: I like to touch faces and grab lips and noses.

Happy 7 Month Birthday!

Like: I really like being in exersaucers now and playing with all of my toys.

Like: I like Grandma Honey and Great-Grandma Marilyn.

 You can call me Hollywood in these pictures.

 

Likes: I like the Green Bay Packers!

Fun Weekend!

Our weekends together are always lots of fun...filled with naps, playing, and running a few errands. Here's what we did this past weekend:

First, Lorelei practiced sitting up and playing with a new toy.

 

Then we tried pureed apples for the first time. Despite what the video shows, she actually did like them.

 

And, we are really getting into the Jenny Jump-Up.

 

 

And, today (on her first St. Patrick's Day), we met the Easter Bunny. She was a perfect angel and really enjoyed it!

 

 

 

 

Avocado--One More Try ??

Well, we tried avocado last night again and it still didn't go over well. It's surprising as there really isn't much of a taste of it when it's plain. Perhaps, it's too bland?? Oh well....tonight we try pureed apples!

 

 

First Teeth !!!

Notice the title of this blog post isn't First Tooth, because we now officially have two teeth that have broken through! The first one came last Friday morning while Lorelei was sucking on Daddy's fingers (something she loves to do), and he felt something sharp. It is the front bottom tooth. And, just a few days ago, the one right next to it popped up. She has been doing very well with this. Other than a bit more drooling and a few midnight 'milk parties', we wouldn't have even known they were on their way. I'll try to get some pics of them soon. Meanwhile, here are some current ones:

Flashback Friday!

Mmmm.....Peas !!!

I'll let the video speak for itself.
