Arie Alex: 4 Months Old

Oh, hi!  Thought I should let you all know that I'm four months old now.  It is even better than being three months old.

Mama still gives me lots of kisses on my chubby cheeks.  I love it!

Everyone says that I look like my mama.  It must be the double chin. :)

My daddy tells me how beautiful and fun I am all the time.  He is the greatest man I know.

Let's see... What else do I like about being 4 months old....

Well, I laugh all the time.  I'm ticklish.  When mama coughs, I laugh.  When King barks, I laugh.  When someone says "lobster", I laugh.  I am a giggly girl!

I am getting lots of hair on my head.

I am very coordinated with my hands and mouth now.  I can suck my thumb and take my passie in and out of my mouth, as well as my favorite toys.

But the newest thing I like to put in my mouth is my toes!  That is my absolute favorite!  I'm really good at it!

Yep, that is my foot all the way up in my mouth.  Aren't I so big?

Well, I guess that is all for now.  I love my Bum Genius diapers. They are so cute and earth friendly.  They also give me less diaper rash, in case you wanted to know.  TMI?  Sorry.  Talk to you later!

Arie Alex: 16 Weeks

I took these last week when Arie Alex really was 16 weeks old.  She is now almost 17 weeks, but she still pretty much looks the same. 

I am probably one of the happiest 16 week old babies, ever!  Let me tell you why!

For one, I'm super cute and charming.  I know how to ham it up for the camera, and even when I have drool on my face, I'm still a great looking kid.

Second, I know how to ask important questions like, "When is lunch?", "Are you going to play with me now?"  and "Will InBev really buy Anheuser-Bush?"

That's what I think about InBev buy Anheuser-Bush.  Which brings me to the third reason I'm the happiest 16 week old baby, ever....  I found my tongue!

Hey, I know that funny guy....

That's my daddy!!!

Dinner Table

So for our 5th anniversary, Mother's Day, Father's Day our birthdays, and the celebration of Airawen's birth, Tim surprised me and bought dinning room table (that seats more than four people), and a china cabinet, (for all that china we use all the time. :P)  We love having people over for dinner, but with all our friends having kids and sometimes wanting to have more than two people over at a time, it was quite crowded. 

I like making the table look pretty, now that there is room on the table for plates, silverware, glasses, and food and flowers.   It is very exciting! 

(Those are also my birthday dishes from my parents and Tim's parents.  Thank you, I love them!)

Picked these out of the ally behind our house.  We have beautiful flowers this year because of all the rain. 

Tim also bought me beautiful flowers that made my week.  If anyone knows what that purple one is with the yellow center, let me know b/c I love it!

Before dinner, Arie Alex and I decided to enjoy the beautiful weather out in our awesome back yard.

King joined us, but found us quite boring.  

My sweet girl!

Mama loves to kiss those chubby, baby cheeks!
