Look at me, I'm 5 month old!

Well...let's be honest here. I'm really 5 1/2 months old. My slacker mom forgot to put my pictures up. Geez. So, where should I start? I think I'm about a 15 pounder now. My mommy's arm muscles are looking toned these days thanks to me. I can now successfully grab my toes. I've been working on this task for weeks and have finally achieved it....but now that I can grab them, I don't know what to do with them! Someday I hope they make it to my mouth. I also am a foodie, just like my mom. Hey, you don't get to be a 15 pounder without some work! I now eat 4-5 bottles a day and I just went from 6 to 8 ounces. I also eat oatmeal twice a day and usually a veg for dinner. So far I love peas and carrots! I am so much fun to be around. I laugh, giggle, smile, grab, and my biggest achievement....(drumroll please)....I play peek-a-boo! Stay tuned!

I LOVE OATMEAL!

(Sing to the tune of "I Want Candy")

I know a girl who loves to eat.....

She eats oatmeal, it's a treat....

Sometimes she has stinky feet....

That's my Vivi, she's so sweet...

I want oatmeal...

I want oatmeal...

I want oatmeal...

I want oatmeal...

(Repeat as necessary!) :)

Yep...that's who you think it is!

I met the Pioneer Woman...the ultimate blogger....the country home-cooker....the person that makes me want to move to a ranch and homeschool my own kids! This is an absolute horrible picture of me (it was the end of a very long day at school), however I had to post this. Ree Drummond has a new children's book and she presented it to our school. I think I was the only one that brought my camera and asked for a picture (dork!). I told her I had a blog too and asked if it was okay to post this picture. She said yes, of course. I was secretly waiting for her to ask what my blog was......but she didn't. Ha ha...Oh well.

Splish Splash

One day Vivi's going to hate that I put pictures of her online of her in the bathtub. Hopefully I'll have 11-13 more years until that happens, so for now, these are too cute not to share. She has pretty much outgrown the "infant" tub that we currently have to use on our dining room table. We do have a bigger tub that fits in the normal bathtub, but that would mean Frank would have to go into the attic to get it down. So...until that happens, we will be snuggly fitting into the infant tub as long as we can. As you can see, she does like it! She just figured out how to splash. How did we get the cutest baby in the whole world? I guess we're just lucky. :)

Vivi Grace

This picture was too cute not to share. I'm now starting to really have fun with Vivi's clothes. She has some new cute dresses and this is one of them. I wonder if she'll grow up to be one of those girls that hates dresses (I hope not!) or a girly girl?!

Too Drool For School

Drool....Drool...Drool...Drool...this is Vivi's new thing. She is drooling ALL the time. Of course everyone's first reaction is that she must be teething. I asked the doctor about it and he said that only about once every 3-4 years does he actually see a 4 month old get a tooth. He said drooling is just part of being a baby! So, no, she's most likely not teething to everyone that says that once they see all that drool. :) I'm afraid Vivi's just going to be one of those babies that will always need a bib! At least we have some cute bibs! :)

4 months old...can I BE any cuter?

Look at me...I'm 4 months old! I'm getting so chub! I now weigh 13 pounds 5 ounces. I've also almost outgrown my 0-3 month clothes and my size 1 diapers! Pretty soon I'm going to double my birth rate. It must be all those bottles! I'm now eating 6 ounces of formula five times a day. I'm such a good baby...I'm happy almost all the time. I smile, laugh, coo, sing, squeal, and sometimes yell! I'm one vocal little baby. I can grab toys with one hand and bring them to my mouth or give them to my other hand. I also like being on my tummy now, which is a new development! My personal goal for this next month is to grab my toe-toes. I stare at them ALL the time and I want them SO bad, but I can't figure out how to get them. I know I'll be able to figure that out soon!
