Guess Who Rolled Over!

That's right - me!  I rolled over from tummy to back just before my 4-month check up Monday morning.  Just wanted to check off a milestone before visiting the doc.  I haven't felt the need to do it again since. 

The doctor said that my development is great.  I'm now weigh 15 pounds and 4 ounces and measure 24.5 inches long.  I had to get a couple shots, which I didn't like at all, but I shook it off pretty quickly.  Takes more than a couple pokes to keep me down.  I'm a pretty happy little meatloaf man these days.  Four months is a good age for me.  I smile and laugh a lot, especially when it's time to get naked.  When it's time to get naked that means it's usually time for a bath, and as you have learned from previous posts, I LOVE the bath.  I also love seeing faces.  I've decided to give the people what they want and be much more socialable now that I'm four months old.  A mere few weeks ago, I might scream at you just for looking at me if you weren't Mommy or Daddy.  However, I think I'm past that phase and I'm looking forward to being a happy baby from here on out.

Easter 2011

Easter 2011 was filled with family, friends, and fun. 

We attended a pre-Easter egg hunt/potluck event at a park with the Moms Club the Thursday before Easter. 

Then on actual Easter Sunday, we went to church and then to another Easter egg hunt/potluck event at Mommy's friend's parents' house. 

I enjoyed looking for eggs for a little bit.  Then I became obsessed with the little playhouse pictured above.  I had so much fun pretending to sell chicken from the window.  "Five dollars please."  Please click here to see a short video of me in the playhouse: Happy Easter from Talley

Maverick also enjoyed the party.  Just doing what he does best - looking cute and having awesome hair.

Easter evening, we went to Grandma and Grandpa O's house.  I sang "Jesus Loves Me" nonstop on the drive over.  Once we got there, we colored eggs, played, and had a delicious lasagna dinner, courtesy of Grandma O. 

Good times!

Hope you all had a happy Easter too!

A Spectacularly Ordinary Fun Weekend

A couple of Saturdays ago, we went to the UNR Spring scrimmage game.  I loved watching the football players and cheerleaders.  The bouncy house was awesome too.

 

When we got home, Andy Pop and Grandma Linda stopped by for a visit.

 

That Sunday, we went to Virginia City to meet up with Mommy's friends, Alyssa and Tessa. 

At lunch, I got to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Like the real kind with nothing organic about it - high fructose corn syrup jelly, hydrogenated oil infused peanut butter, and processed-until-it-doesn't-even-look-real white bread.  It was the most sugar and processed food I think Mommy and Daddy have ever let me have in one sitting.  I went absolutely bananas afterwards and Mommy and Daddy have vowed to never let me eat like that again.  Oh well, I enjoyed it while I could!

To sum it up, it was spectacularly ordinary fun weekend, hence the title of this post.

A Frog Says.....

Here's a video of me after waking up from a nap with boundless energy: Talley Video - A Frog Says...

Look! We Really Love Each Other!

The older Maverick gets, the more fun we have together.  He has become my favorite baby doll.  I especially love going in to greet him when he wakes up from a nap and pouring water on him in the bath.  Sometimes, his cuteness moves me to spontaneous hugging and kissing.  I love being praised for something so easy as loving my brother too.  Being a good big sister is one of the things I'm most proud of.

Photo Frenzy!

Mommy's friend, Donna Sturgis, who is a photographer recently invited us to her photo frenzy event at the Wilbur D. May Arboretum. 
Check out some of the cute shots she got:

Not All Poops and Giggles

Mommy's friends often comment how mellow and well-behaved we are.  Generally speaking, yes we are wonderful.  However, you should still know we are normal and human and we get our diapers in a bunch sometimes just like the next baby.  This picture just captures one of those moments.
