16 Weeks

Hi all,

I've been a busy little girl!  I'll fill you in...

Last weekend, I went to Skytop to meet my Great Grandma.  I got to see my Grandma Tracy and Great Aunts Lindsey and Jackie, as well!  What a special trip.

Sunday was Father's Day.  Dad and Papa treated themselves to a round of golf.  If I haven't already made myself abundantly clear by constantly rolling over, standing at any chance I get, and doing acrobatics in my stroller, I wanted these guys to know that I am serious about sports.  I got my daddy a set of balls (baseball, football, soccer ball, basketball) that we can play with as soon as i figure out how to grab things.  I even picked up a set of golf clubs so that Papa can teach me to golf the way he taught my mom.

Here is me working on my grip

I've also upgraded my ride; I've been spending lots of time in the "front loader" as Dad likes to call it.  Finally, I can look around and be eye level with my peers (adults)!  Strollers are for babies.

I've been spending a lot of time practicing some new tricks.  I know it's hard to believe, but I have a LOT to say!

Mommy was giving me a bath the other night, and she heard something that was music to hear ears.  Giggles!!!!!!!

Now that the weather is nice, me and mom spend lots of time outside.  Here's me on our big blanket in the shade the other day:

And here's me at the pool- not quite ready to swim but I've been doing lots of observing!

As a sidenote, I think mom is going to need medical attention when we can't play together all day every day.  We have been having so much fun!!

Love,
Gillian

Who's Your Daddy?

Hi everyone!  

Greetings from my 15th week of life.  I am really starting to become a little person.  I am obsessed with rolling over.  Mom messed up and posted the wrong video of me last time; that was just a warm up.  Now I roll over everywhere!

I still love bathtime, which is where I was en route to in the previous video.

Mom and I took a field trip to Google!  Everyone thought I was super cute, and loved my bow.  I was delighted with our outing; Google has so many friendly faces and colorful things to look at!  I couldn't even take my eyes off the Google sign to pose for the picture. (Please forgive the state of our stroller.  It is a hot mess and looks like a total jalopy at all times).

Grandpa, Kathy and Maddie came to visit this weekend.  I don't have any pics to post with them yet, but stay tuned for some great shots!  Here is me with daddy in my pretty dress that I wore to meet them.

I also got my three month shots a few weeks ago. Don't ask which ones because mom has no clue; I am starting to notice that she is not really a 'details' person (about certain things.  Like my health).  I weighed in at 12 lbs, which puts me in the 28th percentile for weight.  I'm in the 67th percentile for height though- a race to nowhere, mom likes to say.  I cried my head off when they stuck those needles into my chicken legs, and I was so upset that I think mom may have cried for a second, too.  Mostly she was just sweating and trying to dress me as quickly as possible, which is why I showed up at my playdate with no pants on.

Ever since I decided to use my stroller as an ejector seat, mom has been taking me places in the carrier.  I love it!  

I am SO EXCITED to meet my great-grandma this weekend, and see Grandma and my other family!  

It's also father's day, so a special shout out to my daddy--- love you, twinsie!!!  And Papa and Grandpa.  Love you guys!

Love,
Gillian

Three Months Old!

Hi Everyone,

I am three months old today!  Time flies when you're a baby, and you rotate between three thoughts:

"I like this"
"I don't like this"
"What is this???"


I'm still working on my naps; they are happening all over the place.

Here's a rarity (Lasted 3 minutes)

Much to my mother's concern, I love watching TV!

The big news this week is that I rolled over.  Check out the dramatic footage of my first voyage from my back to my tummy below.

Here is me with dad by the pool.  Note that we are in the shade together, where we belong!

And here are some pics from my 3 month photo shoot!  

For all of the pics of me this month, click here!

Love, Gillian
