Hello all! We have had an exciting week. Christa has really changed a lot. She is officially a thumb-sucker! I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, a thumb is quite a difficult thing to take away when the time comes. On the other, it makes for a great self-soother right now. And this lazy mama has no interest in getting up at night to stick a pacifier back in her mouth! I sucked my thumb when I was a baby, so like mother, like daughter, I guess.
She is smiling and cooing so much more. She's really getting some personality, and it is a treat to play with her. Daddy's no longer getting the bulk of the smiles. Mommy is finally enjoying her fair share and so are the animal friends on her bouncer (shown above).
Christa also rolled over for the first time this week. I went into get her after her nap, and there she was - on her back. Yes, we let her sleep on her stomach - please don't judge us! (We did try the whole "back to sleep" thing, but it just didn't work out.)
Cline and I have not learned any new tricks this week. We do have the weekend off, so we're headed to Rome. Don't forget to eat at Chili's on Monday if you can!

Put what's at Chilis Monday, cause I'm clueless... unless you just really like Chilis. But I'm not sure why it would be just Monday then... =)
She is just too cute! Sweet baby girl. I can't wait to see her in person one of these days!
I shall repeat Shanda's comment... she is soooo cute and I can't wait to meet her! (and to see you too... gosh, it's been forever). And I'll say hey to Shanda too; just in case she looks at the comments again.

and i guess that i could say hey to Justin too :)
Shanda and Ali,
Ya'll are right - we need to get together. It has been way too long since I've seen both of you, and I'd love to meed your beautiful children. We'll be in Rome a good bit in October, so maybe we can have a lunch date or something!

What an amazing blog. I just stumbled across it in my nightly web surfing of the blogosphere and was so impressed I had to post. I must say, your hubbie is quite a handsome man. You're a very lucky woman! Keep on blogging!
Jessica,
We'll be on vacation from September 27-October 3rd. But let me know when ya'll are coming back again and we'll see what we can work out for lunch one Saturday or something : ) I would love that. Ali, hello. It's been a long time. Your baby is beautiful : )
Is there anything else I should know about people that I used to know but don't really know now. You know?
Never mind, I'm not sure I want to know...
Boy, how things change when you have kids!!! This says you posted at 6:50am (like in the morning, EARLY, many many hours before you used to wake up) LOL!!!!
Anyways, she is so cute with her thumb in her mouth. I think she is looking a bit like you now- definitely looking more infant and less newborn-like!
How cute!!! Thumbs, smiles & rolling over...I'm so glad you started this so I can keep up with all of her accomplishments. And I'm so proud of the pictures! Thanks! It's great to get to see what she's doing. I feel like the proud grandma with tears in my eyes. (Aunt MA will be just fine.) Enjoy the sweet, simple things.
Love,
MA
