Somebody's very happy that she's 4 months old today. Or maybe it's that she's 3 sheets to the wind right before bedtime and is a little punchy. I love it when she gets that way.
She looks so cute and long in this pic. At her 4 month checkup a couple days ago, she measured 26 inches in length, which means she's grown 1/2 foot since birth! Yeesh!
We took a walk up Stone Mountain today. It was my first time. Helen's second. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (i.e. I made it up). There were a lot of people going up and in the park for Thanksgiving. It was a beautiful day - warm and sunny by late morning. Here's Helen during a break going up. So happy and cute. Cath - that's the hat of Sophia's I was talking about - the braids are sooooo cute!
Who's the pretty baby in the mirror? Helen smiles shyly at herself. :-)
Helen's new Jenny Jump up. I love that foot.
Hi Aunt Judy. I'm sorry it took so long for my mom to upload new pictures. I kept telling her she needed to, but did she listen? Nooooooo....
Here's one of me looking up at daddy. He came over to say hi.
I'm pleased as punch in this photo. If you were wearing something this cute, you would be too.
Check out my swirly tuft of hair sticking up at the back of my head - I've been working on that for weeks.
Look at my rotund little belly - my mommy feeds me well.
Helen is getting so big and likes to play with things more and more. This play station thing she's in looks like it's going to be a good investment!
Cute baby smile, but this picture doesn't look like Helen. It's weird. When I look at her, she doesn't look like this at all! But she sure looks a lot more like David than me in this pic.
Goodnight grandma, grandpa, aunt Judy, aunt Cathy, Cecily, Chelsey, John, Joe and Sophia. We wish we could be there too and wake up to the smell of pumpkin pancakes. We hope pumpkin-palooza '08 was a smash.
I rarely, ok, pretty much never, put Helen in dresses or other frilly things. This first time warranted a photo. The occasion - we took her to a fall orchard-y kind of place yesterday. It was a beautiful day.
Better than tummy time? D actually read somewhere to do this. She seemed to like it, not to mention it's really cute!
Getting ready to go out for the day. Helen likes the new toy we got for her car seat. She's looking at everything now. Hands, dangly things and patterns (like the cool fish blanket from grandma!).
Helen enjoys the hanging bears, but what really gets her attention and makes her smile (see below) is the fine black print on the side of the swing. Perhaps we have a lawyer in the making?
