She's rolling over!

As of Thursday the 23rd, my little chunky monkey rolls over all the time! She did it once last week as a fluke. Thursday morning, I was in the kitchen at work and Nyssa was on the floor with Zachary he yells, "Jacq Nyss just rolled over!! All. By. Herself." Since then, when you lay her on the floor on her back, she's on her tummy. She is getting to the point yesterday and today that she then rolls from her tummy to her back!

I think it's time this Mommy gets used to vacuuming all the time to keep her from eating fuzzes off the floor!

She's doing really well, getting so big! She talks all the time and seems to have quite a few opinions as well (nothing like her Momma). I had no idea being a Mommy would be so cool!

4 Month Doctor Visit

My little piglet went in for her 4 month visit today. She is 14 pounds 12 ounces (70-75%), 24 inches long (45%) and rounding off with a head circumference of 40 3/4 (40-45%)! That's my chunky monkey! The shots were brutal. She cried, Mommy almost cried. We didn't even bother putting her pants back on, just put her in her seat with her shirt. Momma wasn't going to screw with those stupid things after all that crying!

We get to start giving her cereal once or twice a day now! Daddy is off tomorrow, so we'll see what happens then! We could start her on a fruit or veggie too, but we are going to stick with the cereal and see what happens with that first! I'm sure pictures will be posted soon after!

On another note we went to the pumpkin patch (yes, our 3rd visit this season) yesterday. Only we got to go with Julia and Cameron and Danielle (the kids' Mommy). It was very cute and we actually got a nice picture of Chuck and I and the kids and then one with all of us and Danielle too! It was a nice day! The pumpkin patch wasn't very busy either, which always is a bonus! Tomorrow I'll try and post some pictures of that event also!

Have a good weekend!

Nyssa...

rolled over today! Yay! She went from her back to her tummy! I was in the kitchen and work and Nyssa was on her play mat thingy watching Zach play with his cars and he yelled, "Jacq!! Nyssa rolled over!" Everyone gets excited that the Nyss has rolled over! She's been rolling from her tummy to back for quite a while, but this is huge, so exciting! Of course, she has yet to do it again! But we are on the right track!

The 3 Amigos

Seriously. Need we say more? Teddy needs to get used to being in the middle of those two! The poor boy doesn't have a chance!

Pumpkin Patch!

Teddy, Avery & Nyssa.

Nyssa, Teddy & Avery.

Nyss hanging out on Daddy's lap. He was just holding her legs steady, she was diggin' sitting up and watching everything!

Every year we have done this with Julia (we didn't think hold Cameron up there last year, duh) I love these pictures.

We had a beautiful day at the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. It was great. The babies did awesome as well. It was nice having Chuck there, the ratio of baby to adult was even! It was such a great day! We are hoping to get the big kids there before the season is over!

Nyssa's First Play Date!

So my sassy little girl had her first play date Saturday afternoon! In the red stroller are my friend Sara's twins. Mr. Theodore Knut & Ms. Avery Beatrice! They were born July 13Th! They seem so much smaller than The Nyss. Probably because they are! They were about 4 weeks early, and doing excellent! Sara and I were laughing because we can see it already,the girls will be up to no good and Teddy will be rattin' them out!

Ms. Avery. She's such a little cutie. You should see the girl's hair!

Teddy guy! He's the true peanut. He's so little. He spent most of the time hanging out in the Baby Bjorn on me!

Sara called me Saturday before I took the kids back, and we decided to meet at an outdoor mall! They were all so cute together! Granted they don't do much, but it was still cute! Nyssa did great being the "Big Girl"! She didn't like it so much when Teddy started crying, that upset her a lot. I looked down and she was crying with him, ugh, it was cute!

The Big Kids Friday night and some feet shots!

I just like to give her kisses. She lets out a little giggle. Of course I'm diggin' in there and giving all kinds of smooches!

As long as she gets plugged she doesn't care how the passie looks.

We had the munchkins over night Friday night. This was the next morning. They are both hams!! I love it!!

My little buttercup found her feet Saturday night! She was in her seat most of the day (coming in the next post), as soon as I put her on the floor her feet went flying up!

This is what we like to call, "the one finger hold."

Just because...

I love her and feel like sharing.

Miss Nyss & 1 year ago on this date!

I'm not so sure that she's trying to get a cold now. She still hasn't gotten it full on. Once in a while it just kind of runs, but that's about it. Night time is still interesting. Last night from about 3 am on, she slept in her car seat. She slept quite well too. I bought some rice cereal to put in her last bottle tonight. Maybe the little thing thinks she is starving, who knows. Although she's arching her back and twisting all sorts of ways, according to Daddy. Hopefully the cereal will help her keep her milk down! I don't know what's up with Nyssa. Her moods seem fine during the day and evening.

It was a year ago today I took a pregnancy test. It was our first anniversary. During lunch Chuck had said, "Why don't we stop at the store and get a pregnancy test? Just to see. It might be funny." We did. I took the test. Looked at the two pink line's a couple of times (as in, put down the test and picked it back up, as if my eyes were playing tricks). I yelled from the bathroom, "Holy crap, Chuck! Come in here." My lovely husband in a kind of annoyed voice, "What? Why? Where are you?" I stood in the bathroom (keep in mind it's small, we live in a an apartment), I was over by the tub, with tears in my eyes pointing at the stick on the counter. He looked at me, I pointed again. He picked it up and I think I literally saw the light bulb go on over his head. Chuck, "Oh my God, you're pregnant." It was all over from there! Yay for Dollar store pregnancy tests (those sucker's add up if you buy them in grocery or other retailers. They all do the same thing.)! To think it all started as a joke, it was funny alright. For the record....there will be no peeing on a stick for me tonight!!

I think...

what we have happening is the start of her first cold. :( She sounded stuffy and just annoyed from 5 am to 8 am this morning. My poor girl. She never really woke up, she just would fuss and whine until I plugged her up again. At 8 I grabbed and put her on the futon next to me, it's easier to plug her this way. She slept until about 9. It's very pathetic when you the little nose start to run. This is not going to be fun. I'm thinking she may end up sleeping at night in her car seat! That way she will be elevated and sound so bad. I think I could put a blanket or something under one end of her crib mattress. That may work. She spins around so much in her crib now, I'm not sure how effective that would be. I think this is going to be a play it by ear kind of thing!

Last night Nyssa and I went to play games with Lori and her cousin's house. Nyssa was awesome. She had her bottle then sat up on my lap and watched all the happenings. She's so good.

Today we had a bridal shower for Dawn! She did really great there too! It got a little rowdy (you know...a bunch of women playing bridal gift BINGO, trying to get BINGO so you got a prize? Yup. It can get loud.) I swaddled her up after the shower and diaper change and she's out like a light.
