Whata week of Firsts!!!

What an amazing week of firsts it has been for miss Piper!!! On Friday, July 16th Piper has her first taste of cereal. She wasn't so sure about it and after about 3 tastes she had had enough and got really mad, I mean really mad!!! Then Sunday, July 18th, she rolled over for the first time!! I was the only one who saw her, her daddy had run down to his dad's for a minute, we had been watching her all afternoon and she got soo close numerous times but waited for her daddy to leave before she would actually roll over. On Friday, July 23rd, she had her 4 month check up, she is doing great and now weighs 15lb 8oz and is 25 inches long, watch out cousin Rylee she is catching up fast!!! The shots this month were not so great and have left a small red welt on each leg, I have been watching her closely and she is doing better now and the welts have almost disappeared. On Saturday, July 24th, we took Piper on her first road trip to visit gramma and grandpa K and Aunt Rachel, Aunt Laura and Aunt Becca up at camp at Nick's Lake. Piper did soo great on the ride up, especially after daddy had to make so many stops to pick up supplies for grandpa. We had a good time up at camp and are looking forward to next year when Piper is a little bigger and we can spend the night. This is going to be come a yearly tradition to take Piper to camp (she was with us last year when we went but only Kurt and I knew hehe). On Sunday July 25th, I made Piper laugh out loud for the first time!! It was so funny and am looking forward to hearing this baby laugh all the time. I just love her soo much and am so blessed to be able to stay home with her this summer and witness her amazing accomplishments!! Ohh I almost forgot I knew there was another first, on Saturday, July 17th, I went with grammie and Poppi and unkie gogo and took Piper to her first parade!!! Her daddy and grandpa Ed were in Camden's parade for the Fireman's Field Days that was doing on that weekend. Grandpa Ed drove his proprane truck in the parade and daddy threw candy out!! Piper loved the parade and didn't even get scared or cry when the firetrucks beeped their horns!!
right after she rolled over for the 1st time.

first time in a mud puddle, only poppi could get away with this

at her 1st parade, she really like the parade although this expression would never let you know!!

Sum, Sum, Summertime!!!!

Wow, what a busy start to summer we've had!! Piper turned 3 months old and is actually almost 4 months old now. She estimate she weighs about 14lbs and is about 24in long!!! We celebrate our first 4th of July with her and she is getting to know the way to grammie Jill's very well. We have had a lot of really hot weather the last week or so and we have been spending alot of time up there in the central air and out by the pool. Today was the 1st day that we dipped her toes in, it had been a couple days since mom put any chlorine in the pool and the water had warmed up to 80 degrees!!!! Piper has been growing like crazy, she jabbers all the time, has discovered her knees, loves to chew on her fists and her thumb (could care less about her binky), and last night spent most of her floor time laying her side, it's only a matter of time before she rolls her chunky little but over and I'm in trouble!!!! I've been soo blessed that I've been able to extend my unemployment benefits into the summer so far, and it has allowed me some precious time home with Piper to watch her grow!!!! I will be sad when September comes and I have to find a job and start working again, unless we win the lottery, maybe I should buy a ticket huh?? On Friday night she even started sleeping in her crib in her own room and has been doing a great job, last night she slept from 10pm to 7am, I think the heat is helping to tire her out though!!!! I'm looking forward to the rest of this month and next month to spend as much summer fun time with my baby girl and our families as possible!!!!

out by the pool with grammie Jill

I think I like the water on my piggies

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!
