Almost six months now...big girl!

I'm sitting up now. It's a different world from this perspective!

I have nice buns!!

I found my feet... they're delicious!

Two bottom teeth showing and a top tooth on the way!!

My First Halloween

Baptism

We had Victoria's Baptism on Oct.18th. She had her first headcold and couldn't breath the night before, but in spite of that, she was a perfect angel during the service. She was entertaining because each time the pastor asked a rhetorical question, she would 'answer'. It was very cute. We had all of Brad's and my immediate families, Tom and Deb Lightner, Mark Rosenberg and Kenny Maier all there for the occasion. Thanks to them all for being a part of it, especially to Victoria's God-parents, Deanne and Kevin. If you can see the bracelet she's wearing...that is the same one I wore for my Baptism 30 years ago.

Pumpkin Patch

Oct. 17th we went to the Pumpkin Farm at Pool and Hall Johnson. It was a popular spot - we saw the Bowersocks, Wilsons (and all the cousins), and Gossetts.

Praying for the Cowboys!

4 months

Victoria has changed so much in the last month, it amazes me. Everyone always told me children grow up fast, but I had to see it to believe it.

Her smiles and giggles can light up a room so I've captured some of our recent favorites here. Hope you enjoy as much as we do :)

Vintage baby - my teddy bears and dress and Brad's Mom's rocker (she rocked all three of her kids in it).

She can hold the bottle now.

This is very exciting!

3 month pictures

We all went for pictures today and Victoria was a perfect model! Of course, we got sucked into spending more money than we planned, but how do you say no to your own child's darling pictures?? I have to get more self restraint for the 6 month photo session :)


When we got home she had a major melt-down :( This is very rare for her, but I think she was letting us know that on-demand cuteness like she delivered today doesn't come for free! She's pooped out now so I think tomorrow when we can stick to our regular routine, she'll be back to normal...let's hope!!
