Daddy and I decided to post a lot of pictures to keep you all busy for a while. It's not always easy to post frequently. As you can see above, I'm getting bigger, stronger, and more beautiful. I sit up so well and am up most of the day. Mommy and daddy still have me off of oxygen. I'm such a busy and active girl. When I am awake I absolutely will not leave my pulse ox probe alone. This is the thing that measures my blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. I pull at the cord, chew on the cord, and have even learned how to undo the velcro and adhesive sticker. Mommy and daddy have gotten to the point that just have to leave it off of me while I am awake. I'm definitely a lot more portable these days. All mommy and daddy have to do these days is strap the vent on their back and they can carry me just about anywhere they want to around the house. They still have to stay pretty close to my suction machine in case I need it. It is fun to get around and see a lot more of the house. They tell me that when it gets warmer we can spend a lot more time outside. I'm excited! I started going to a play group. I get to meet, play with, and watch a lot of other kids. We also sing songs and read books and do crafts. It is lots of fun. Below are a couple of pictures of a project we did around St. Patty's day. I tried to paint a clover. I had a blast! My hands were green for days. The next picture is me all by myself in the rocker, I just love to sit up. In the next one, mommy and I got a little silly with some stickers. She always thinks of the best stuff to do.




Did I tell you all that I have found and taken a great interest in my feet? I love to play with my toes. I even chew on them from time to time. I scratch my face with my toenails and clap my feet together on the side of my face. Mommy and daddy just laugh at me. One day they put me in my bouncy thingy as you can see in the second picture below. I had a lot of fun but they had a heck of a time trying to get me in and out of that thing. As you can see in the next picture, I love to look at myself in the mirror. I make all kinds of faces at myself and make myself smile. I watch myself playing with my toys and doing other stuff so that I can see and figure out what I am doing. I've learned how to blow kisses and when I see myself and daddy prompts me I immediately blow myself lots of kisses. In the next picture you can see some of my many teeth. They keep popping up everywhere. I don't know how many I have and I don't usually let mommy and daddy get a good look in there. They sure hurt sometimes, but I am handling it like a big girl.

My legs are definitely the most active part on my body, but the rest is catching up. When I'm laying down, my legs are constantly in the air. When I'm sitting up, I'm constantly kicking and from time to time I manage to get my leg straight up in the air as seen below. The picture after that is me clapping my feet in the side of my face. My chubby cheeks cushon some of the force. The next picture is of me and some of my cousins. My aunt Stacey and my cousins Zach, Kaylee, and Hanah came for the day to see me. We had a great time. The picture after that is me doing "sooo Biiig". I can't quite get my arm all the way up in the air when I am sitting up but I definitely can show how big I am. And look how happy I am doing it. I'm such a happy baby.

I had some more visitors for Easter weekend. My Nana and Papa came to see me and they brought great grandma and great grandpa. I have not seen them in a long time and it was really great to see them. I got lots of kisses from everyone.








I hope you all enjoyed the pictures and they keep you all satisfied until I get the time to put up some more. I love you all. Keep checking back.
