Sept 14th and Sept 23rd come faster...

I'm not going to lie.. I thought about putting up a countdown for these two dates thats how excited I am! Many of you know my obsession for my tv shows but these 3 show are my absolute favorite!

Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice both air Sept 23rd!!! I would have to say Grey's is my fav fav fav favorite!

And OTH airs Sept 14th! All I can say is thank goodness they are doing another season because with that season finale there's no way they could have ended that way!
No need to make fun of me for loving my shows my husband gives me enough of that :) But honestly.. watch these from the beginning and you will looove them too! I talk about the characters like they are my best friends. I cry with them, laugh with them and I even scream at them when they make dumb decision! Oooh how I've missed you Christina, Meredith, McDreamy and McSteamy (Greys), Addison, Pete, Naomi and Cooper (Private Practice) and Brooke, Haley, Nathan and cute cute Jamie Scott (OTH). I can't wait to be a part of your lives again, please don't disappoint me! :)

does she love solid foods... OF COURSE!!

Did I really need to worry that she wasn't going to like solid foods... I don't think so! I think I'm convinced that this girl loves any kind of food! :) I love it.. it makes it so fun to feed her but lets just hope it stays this way!
I started her first with some oatmeal in the mornings and she seemed to like it okay... but once I started giving her sweet potatoes and corn and things like that she went crazy and she now dives for the spoon! I'm so happy that Berklee is growing and eating so great! I just love this girl!

Daddy's Girl

Seriously.. this girl loves her daddy!
He was the first one to get her to laugh and I swear I can never get her to laugh like he does. I'm so grateful that I have such a wonderful husband that loves spending time with us and loves to help take care of Berklee. Don't know what I'd do without him!

4 months

I know everyone says it but time really does fly by once you have your baby. My baby is
4 months old!
stats:
17.2 lbs 98%
26.5 in 99%
17.1 head circumference 96%

I absolutely love going to the doctor because I love hearing how well Berklee is doing, what I can do better and what things I can start to do! The doctor told us if we look at the charts and look at where Berklee is then Berklee is sizing to be an average 8 month old! haha. All I can do is laugh, I love love love that Berklee is so big and healthy, I love that she is learning things that most 4 month olds don't normally learn or do, I love that she is sturdy enough in one arm and I don't have to worry about her heading bobbling everywhere, I love that she loves to eat and I don't need to worry about her weight gain or give her extra formula or anything like that, and mostly I absolutely love that she is mine!
She loves her toes, hands and voice! She loves rolling and sitting (not sitting by herself quite yet but she's getting stronger). She loves sleeping. And again, and I don't really need to tell ya cuz it shows, but she loves eating!
We can start her on some solid foods and oatmeal and I can't wait to see if she likes that stuff as much as she likes her mommy's milk.

Yes, shots are sad.. but Berklee is awesome! She cried just until I just picked her up and then she was just fine! One tough girl! :)
(look at the 17.2 lb chunky thigh.. eat it up!)

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)
