Six Month Checkup

Hello, Sweet Girl!
You are sleeping (for over an hour and a half now) after a long drive and a visit to the doctor. Mommy gave you Tylenol before we went in, because she knew you were getting shots. =(
You weigh 20.5 lbs and are 29 inches long. Your weight is in the 96th percentile and your length is in the 98th percentile. You are still developmentally ahead by 2-3 months, according to the doctor. He said you are perfect. =D You wowed him with sitting up, rolling over, and turning while on your tummy. When you got your shots you only fussed for a few seconds.
This week so far has been very fun. What are you up to? You took a trip to Mimi's lake house! We went swimming in the lake and you were amazed at how big everything was. You played with your toys and are working to crawl sooo hard! I can't wait to see you finally get there. Your hair is getting longer. In places it's over an inch long, and it's coming in light. We're still not sure what color it will end up to be!
You are so sweet and happy. We are definitely blessed to have you, and Mommy will have pictures and videos to show off soon!
We love you!
~Your Mommy and Daddy

Six Months Already?!?

Ok, Little One. We pretty much missed a month here. We were so busy having fun and growing that we didn't have the time to post. You had fun with Aunt Wendy at Easter. You turned six months old on May 10th. ^^ On May 12th we went to the mother-daughter banquet together.

Here you are with Mommy, Grandmama, Grammie, Aunt Wendy, and Aunt Krista. All your favorite girls on the Romeis side of your family!

Then on May 13th you had your dedication day.

Here you are with Didi and Daddy: We dedicated you to God, telling him that we would teach you who he is and how much he loves you. Today we went to Ft. Lauderdale to Mommy's company picnic. What fun you had, and you did so well! No tears, even through 2hours of driving both ways. That's Mommy's girl! =D We love you so much and are so happy to have you in our lives. ~Your Mommy and Daddy

Dear Easter Baby,
Today is the celebration of Jesus coming back to life after he died to help us be free to grow close to God. He loves us all very much and we will meet him in person someday. Other Easter things are nice and fun, but this is the most important part. ^^
About you: you had SO much fun this weekend! You visited both sets of grandparents, got dressed up in your bunny costume, went to church in your purple Easter dress, and worked on your new skills: sitting up (still need some help), rolling over (back to tummy, but not back to your back yet), splashing in the tub, and putting things in your mouth.
Speaking of putting things in your mouth- you are eating so much now! Rice and oatmeal, banana, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples, to be exact. Not sure what the next food will be yet, but I bet it will be an adventure! ^^
Mommy and Daddy are so happy when we get to spend time with you as our little family. You are so nice to cuddle and it's a joy to watch you learn and grow. On Tuesday you will be five months old!
We love you! =D

Loving Your Laughter

Dear Cordy,

We are so blessed to have you. You are starting to give us these beautiful, bubbly little laughs. Your giggles make us smile and warm our hearts.

What a joy you are to us!

What else have you done this week? You rolled onto your tummy, then back to your back! Getting back is trickier than it looks, though, so you get stuck on your tummy more often than not.

You are eating: baby cereal, milk, carrots, peas, banana, and sweet potato. All pureed (or mashed if it's banana) by Mommy with love. Tonight was your first taste of sweet potato and you really liked it! Not as much as banana though!! When Mommy warms it up and it gets all sweet and mushy you gobble it up like a baby bird. How fun it is to feed you!

You had dinner with Aunt Krista and Aunt Wendy this week, and last night Grandmama and Cranpa brought you home and stayed for a visit.

You are loved by everyone you meet. What a wonderful baby you are, and we love you SO SO SO much!

Four Month Check-Up!

Hi Baby!

We just got back from your four month check-up at the doctor's office. You are 27.25 inches long, you weigh 17 lbs 6 oz, and your head circumference is 16.75 inches.
You are at the 95th percentile for your weight, but you're at the 97th percentile for your height! Long baby is long. =D

Here's a picture of you and Daddy at the doctor's.

You showed off to the doctor, who said your development is in the 6-9 month range. That's our girl! Then you got three shots. They hurt your legs and you cried, but Mommy said "Shhhhh, it's ok, baby." You had some milk and felt much better. Then you took a looooong nap and rested.

Now we're going to see Aunt Wendy and Grandmama for baby therapy. =D

We love you SOOOO much!
~Mommy and Daddy

4 Months

Well, Little Lady, you're four months old.

You've got quite a bit to say about it, too:


You're very talkative now. You will talk about anything...if only we could understand what you have to say! Today you communicated by looking at Mommy, gurgling to get her attention, and making sucking sounds. You were hungry! You didn't even need to cry, you just used your body language to let Mommy know what you wanted. Way to go! Pretty soon you'll be using signs that Mommy and Daddy use to let us know what you need.

We love you so much!

~Your Mommy and Daddy

Workin' Mama

Hi Little One!

Mommy misses you SO much at work. Sometimes she only sees you for a couple of hours before your bedtime. It's not nearly as good as when Mommy is off work and can see you all day.

But Mommy's class loves hearing stories about you and last week we made acrostic poems. I made one for you.

I do love you! =DDDDDD
