Gleeful Guests

Auntie Cussy and Uncle Andy came to the Bay for a couple of days to visit. They're visits are always too short, but this one was shortest by far! We had enough time to visit with some of Andrew's family that was also in town, have a few meals together and a little day trip to South City.

The weather was A-mazing! We have had a nice break from the rain and have been reaching 80 degrees for the last week. It was especially a treat for CassAndrew who have been weathering the snow for the last few months. Hopefully they'll be back soon since we miss them already!

Glad for the Guests,

Super Late Update

Yet again, Little Lady is about a week away from her next month birthday and I'm posting for last month... Someday I will catch up with her.

The beginning of February called for a handful of pinpricks from her doctor; three to be exact. She did great! She whined for a few seconds and then proceeded to take a little snooze. Whatta champ! She was a little sore the next day, but nothing compared to what I was expecting. I'm not so worried about getting her ears pierced in the near future any more.

Little Lady definitely found her voice this month! She loves to be "a part of" my phone conversations, always putting in her two cents. It cracks me up! She is also filling out her 3 month clothes pretty well, so I've prepped all of her 6 month clothes, although I am really hoping not to dive into that batch too soon!

She loves to smile and stick out her tongue every chance she gets. And she is as fascinated by our dog Dexter as he is by her. She has started accompanying me to my religion classes at Institute and gets passed around about half a dozen people before the hour is up. She soaks up attention.

All of that attention has apparently been going to her head as she has begun adding tools to her manipulation box of not-so-goodies. The most obnoxious, by far is the "cough". She does this pathetic, repetitious "cough" that reminds me of a ticked-off teen (subtly) demanding attention by clearing their throat and thinking "excuse me!!" Oy vey! This can't have started already!! Luckily, it doesn't happen everyday.

Attempting to Postpone the Pre-teen,

Sunny Soiree

As promised, here are a few pictures of the soiree from after Little Lady's baby blessing at the end of January. It was so fun to have a house full of kids and a day full of sunshine! A few of my cousins and their beautiful and fun children came as well as my Aunt Katie who was so busy behind the camera, that I don't have a picture of her in front of it. Darn it.
