5 1/2 months...

This has been a very busy month for us. Scotlyn is doing great. She is rolling over and eating veggies and fruit. Teething is in full swing and we are a little crabby, yes we:) We went to Tennessee to visit Nana for a week, Scotlyn was spoiled rotten! Here are some pictures...

4 months old...

Scotlyn has been very busy growing the last month. She is so sweet and smiley. We go for her 4 month check-up next week. Here are some pictures...

Grandpa Jim gave Scotlyn this Giraffe, she loves it!!! When you pull his tail is plays "Zippade Do Da"
Scotlyn lounging in her bathing suit at the pool for the first time this week. She loved the water and didn't cry at all. We were there for 2 hours and she loved every minute of it. I think we might have a fish on our hands!

Tonight Scotlyn tried rice cereal for the first time. We got it on video, but the picture says it all, she loved it! I think she might have gotten more on her face than in her mouth though:)

We had Scotlyn baptised this past weekend in Laurel. She just stared out at the congregation and was mesmerized by the stain glass windows. Nana gave her this special outfit, and she is wearing a necklace that was Nana's when she was a baby.

As part of Carla's memorial (Jeff's mom), a play area was built in her honor next to the school where she worked for many years. She wanted equipment for her grand children to play on and Grandpa Jim made sure it happened. Here we are after it was assembled by many volunteers.

Scotlyn likes to sit in her high chair and watch the animal carousel, it plays polka music.

The Bumbo seat has been a great way for Scotlyn to sit up with out us helping her, she can't sit up or roll over on her own yet, but it's just around the corner.

Memorial Day Weekend...

Scotlyn is 3 months old and sassy. For Memorial Day weekend we went to Laurel to see Jeff's family and grill-out. Scotlyn is giggling and laughing alot. She has found her voice and likes to carry on conversations with herself. She is eating like a champ and started daycare 3 days a week. The kids there love fussing over her and by the time she gets home she is exhausted from all of the excitment. We went to the drive-in last night and she did pretty good. She kept looking at us like "why are you letting me stay up so late and why are we in the truck and I'm in my p.j.'s ?".

Aunt Carol and cousin Caleb. Caleb is trying to teach Scotlyn how to do Fish Faces!

Scotlyn loves chewing on her fingers, tastes like chicken?

Mother's Day Weekend...

Mommy and Scotlyn spent our first Mother's Day in Lawrence Kansas with Great Grandma Dorothy. We had a fun visit and Scotlyn got alot of attention and kisses. We also went to Kansas City to see Natalie and her daughter Grace. Grace is going to be a big sister soon, she helped feed Scotlyn and practiced holding her. We also stopped in Topeka to see Melaine and her new puppy Dulcey. Scotlyn got a big surprise when Dulcey climbed right up in her car seat, you should have seen her face, this was her first up close look at a puppy, a bit traumatic! Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there...

2 months old

We are really starting to see Scotlyn's personality. She is giggly and smiles alot, although when she want's something she want's it 5 minutes ago! She had her 2 month check-up last week and she was 13 pounds and 23 inches long. She still has all her hair and it's getting thicker, in the light it has a red cast to it. She loves to go on walks and falls asleep as soon as we get going. She actually slept 10 hours in a row Saturday night and we almost thought something was wrong with her:) She is starting to like her toys and likes to be talked to. Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks...

The Monke's visited this weekend and we had so much fun playing!

Scotlyn loves bathtime and cries when you take her out of the tub!

6 weeks old...

I have been very busy the last 2 weeks. I'm growing and changing everyday, I smile alot now and now that we switched to soy formula my tummy is much happier! I love to be held, mommy and daddy tried to make me sit in my bouncer last night and see how long it took for me to stop crying...I cried non-stop for an hour, they gave in and as soon as mommy picked me up I stopped. They say I'm stubborn, but I have no idea what they are talking about! I finally figured out that my thumb is good for sucking. My friend Coy visited a few weeks ago and we had fun playing. I'm starting to sleep 5 hours in a row at night. I'm getting used to this whole eat, sleep, poop thing, it's not half bad. Now if only they would pick me up every time I cried I'd have it made (I've got daddy trained, but mommy is harder to break!!!).

1 Month Photo Shoot for Nana!!!

The Erwin frown shows itself once again!

This was our first attempt at getting her used to her playmat. She liked it for about 10 minutes, then the pouting started!

Mom, you should recognize this outfit. This is the outfit I came home from the hospital in,1977. We tried to put the bonnet on, but it was too big and flopped in her face.

She is so cute when she's sleeping, hard to believe she was screaming bloody murder prior to this picture!

Scotlyn is growing like a weed. We decided she needed a photo shoot to show off her "big girl" clothes.
