Showing her Love for Daddy

Some of the Surprises that Megan and our family had for Daddy

Daddy’s BIG surprise was an ice cream cake with a picture of his Little Princess.

WE LOVE YOU DADDY!!!

Megan in the Jungle

Well, I finally figured out how to post video, thanks to Auntie Leslie. Coincidentally, on the same day that Miss Megan decided to sit herself up in her bouncy seat. Enjoy:

Family Friday

Last night was Mike’s company picnic, it was a great time, and Megan was the hit of the party. She was such a good girl, not crying at all, and flashing her brightest smile at everyone she met. Here are a few photos of the big event:

My baby girl is learning to sit up, she is getting to be such a big girl!!

Look at me Momma!!!

Pretty in Pink

Here is our little princess in a pretty pink dress from her Grandma and Grandpa Stormes. Thanks Guys!!

It’s a Wonderful Life!!

Tummy and Tush

The key to a good nights sleep at the Stormes house seems to be tummy and tush time for Megan.

Ever since Megan has been able to roll onto her tummy and put her tush up in the air we have been having 1 feeding nights. Momma and Daddy never knew they could Love such a funny sleeping position, but always knew they LOVED the little sleeper more then sleep itself.

5 Months Old

Baby girl, how can it be that you are 5 months old already. You are making so many advances and changing so each day, we wish you could stay our baby girl forever, but time continues to fly by.

What you’ve been up to lately:

-Eating rice cereal and just started applesauce

-You still wear size 1-2 diapers, but they are getting a little snug around the legs

-You weigh about 13lbs and are wearing mostly 6 month clothes. You are starting to fill them out more

-Playing with you paci is one of your favorite past times and you love taking it in and out of your mouth while biting on it

-You started taking baths in the Big Girl tub and really like to play and splash, but not rinse off

-Still no teeth, but you are chewing on anything and everything, so it won’t be long now

-Our whole family Loves hanging out on our new patio and the other day you touched the grass for the first time

-Nights are still pretty hard since you get up at least twice, anytime you want to sleep longer, you just go ahead

-You are very interested in your feet and have started putting them in your mouth after pulling off your socks. At least you will always have that skill to fall back on.

Your Grandpa Vanden Berg would have called these your “Sexy tube socks”.

Though we are sad to see another month come and gone, we can’t wait to see what “tricks” you will come up with next month. One of these days Momma is going to learn to add videos to this blog and then everyone can see you antics. Love you to the Moon and Back Baby Girl!!

Momma and Daddy

Ready, Set, Move…

At only 5.5 months my little girl is getting ready to move. Currently her modes of transportation are rolling, creeping (backward), and turning on her tummy like a break dancer.

Here is where she found herself after a combination of these 3 moves:

 

Unfortunately Momma can only sit and watch her move right now. Following a back strain on Tuesday, I am confined to sitting and icing  and  am forbidden  to pick up my baby girl. Until I get better I will just have to be content with watching from my chair, taking photo’s, and having her sit on my lap while looking Oh So CUTE!!

I know, it’s a hard life.

Coming soon, a 5 month and Lake Geneva Rainy day trip post.

Celebrating Parents

I was doubly blessed this Mother's Day. Not only was it my 1st of many Mother's Days with this little cutie, but it was the 1st one in a long time that my Mom lived close enough so I could see her on the actual day. Everyone who know me knows how close I am to my Mom and having her there to celebrate a day that I had been waiting for for a long time was truly amazing.

Here is a 3 generation photo!!

I look ahead to the upcoming Father's Day with mixed emotions. Since losing my Dad a few years back I have not celebrated this day, as it was too painful. This year I look forward to celebrating what a wonderful Daddy Mike is to our little girl. However, looking at those Father's Day cards and gifts will always bring a twinge of sadness. I hope and pray that they celebrate Dads every day in Heaven. Miss you Dad!!

Patio Play Time

This summer we decided to put a patio on the back of our house. Each afternoon I make it a goal to take Megan out there for 15 minutes or so to enjoy the weather and get her used to the sun. Here are a few photos from the past few days:

Posing with Daddy. Such a Daddy’s Girl!

Or our we Momma’s Baby

The truth be told, Megan’s Gram’s girl!! Gram just doesn’t like her picture taken.
