Name that sound..???

I don't know if anyone watches Funniest Home Videos anymore but they have this segment on there called name that sound, and the people listen to the sound first and try and guess what is making the noise. Well I think we should send this video in because we've gotten told Berklee sounds like all sorts of things... raptors, birds etc..

What do you think she sounds like??

(sorry for the fussiness too... I always seem to get my camera out a little to late and she starts to get fussy when the whole time before she is so happy!)

Also... look who's laughin now!

About a week or so ago Jesse got Berklee laughing... it was and is SO dang cute!!!

We are having so much fun with our little girl! She just keeps growing and growing! We have loved being parents and can't wait to keep watching Berklee grow and our other children (when they come.. and no that is not an announcement)

Some things Berklee loves:

growing (I have no control over that and its sad)

rolling (already! I know.. just after her 3 month birthday she rolled over for her first time)

smiling (lovin every smile I get)

swimming (this girl is a water baby! She just squeals and kicks constantly and guess what... I even dunked her under the water... so COOT I need to get a pic of it)

standing up (you try and sit her on her lap and she pushes her legs into you until you stand her back up)

her fingers (they are CONSTANTLY in her mouth.. we think she is in the beginning stages of teething)

her voice (as you can tell by the first video.. she LOVES to hear herself)

laughing (mostly for her daddy.. she has laughed a couple time with me but she mostly just laughs with Jesse)

her jumper (maybe I wouldn't say she loves loves it but its nice for my arms to get a break from holding her up constantly)

and of course

her mommy and daddy

I'm sure there is more but thats all I can think of right now!

love this girl!

Tummy Time

This girl has started getting lots and lots of tummy time just because she loves her new trick... rolling over! As soon as she's on the ground she is on her tummy but just as quickly as she's on her tummy she's just as quickly upset because then she can't do anything.. so, very rarely do I catch these faces while she's on tummy time :)

(she does seem to kick and kick tons trying to figure out how to get places when she is on her tummy... but I don't want to think of my baby crawling already) :(

And I just need to add this cute pic of Jesse and Berklee. Last week I had a soccer game at 9:25 (right at Berklee's last feeding time) and its my own fault but we haven't given her a bottle consistently since I stopped working saturdays back in May... anyways, long story short my sister in law comes to the side and yells into me that Berklee is screaming and nothing is calming her down! There was 2 min. left in the game and let me just say it was the longest 2 min. I ran off the field and raced up to my parents where Jesse just decided to stay instead of trying to come to my soccer game. Jesse then explained that she wanted NOTHING to do with the bottle and then it was like she got so upset about that and then the tiredness kicked in and so there was no consoling her. Poor daddy and baby! So, I made it my job this past week to get her to eat out of a bottle and guess what....

TA DAAAAA!!!

Jesse loved feeding her!

(much easier when she's not screaming)

TA DAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

only 3 months 1 week 5 days old

and already showing off.....

Good Morning....

What a great morning...

This morning I woke up before Berklee... I know I know when she sleeps I should sleep but I just had things to do! So I was upstairs with the monitor on when I hear her beginning to toss and turn. Then it turns to cooing and squealing and I can only imagine there is some smiles to go along with it. Honestly, I think I have the best job in the world... what could be better than going to get this girl from bed and all you have say is hi to her and this is what you get...

We swaddle her at night with this swaddler that velcro's (greatest invention in the world) and I think it is both me and Jesse's favorite thing to see her stretch when you undo it. Her whole body arches, her lips pucker out and arms stretch clear above her head.

Like I said... what a great morning!

I sure do love this girl and am so grateful that I get to be her mommy!

4th of July

If I had to pick a favorite holiday I would pick...

4th of July!

I love the bbq's

I love the family gathering

I love summer

I love swimming

but mostly... I LOVE FIREWORKS!!

If you know me well I've probably told you this before but I would love fireworks at my funeral. Not to talk about death or anything but instead of sadness at my funeral how awesome would it be to celebrate my life and have a big firework show! :) anyways.....

4th of July! What an amazing holiday, not only does it have fireworks but its the celebration of our Independence and freedom! I am so grateful to live in such a wonderful country! And I am so grateful for my husband who serves in the military and his dedication and service he gives to this country!

This year we went up cottonwood canyon with Jesse's family to have breakfast and see the parade... it was so much fun for everyone but especially the little kids and I can't wait til Berklee can join in with the parade!

Then we got to head up to my parents for a fun bbq, swimming and fireworks at eaglewood golf course. Jesse's family was able to come join in on the fun and we had a blast swimming, eating and talking! This year was my very first year not going up to eaglewood to see the fireworks, instead we hung back at my parents and got up on the roof and watched the fireworks from there. Lets just say 2 min. into the firework show I was bummed I didn't go up to the golf course! Part of the fun is hearing those loud fireworks and laying right underneath them and seeing them light up the whole sky. I plan to go up there next year and hopefully Berklee gets my love for fireworks!

happy 4th of July!
