Go Green!

What a fun couple of weeks! Rose is getting more and more coordinated everyday. She is our little jumping bean in her jumper and has been rolling around more to reach out for her favorite toys. She loves anything she can chew on (including her feet) and anything with lights or music. She seems to really enjoy Cookie Monster (thanks to Grandma T) and you have to do the voice along with him. She grins from ear to ear.

Yum!

She had her friends Simona and Campbell over to cheer on the Spartans play the Wolverines. The kids looked so cute as their parents had them all decked out in green and white. We also went to celebrate her friend Ashley's first birthday this past Saturday. There were so many kids to keep an eye on and she really enjoyed seeing those on the move, especially little Miss Ashley. She was dolled up in an Elmo outfit, so adorable! Rose is fascinated watching other kids. She also got to spend some quality time with her cousin Jack, who spent the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He's a busy boy!

Future Spartans?

Over the last week, Rose has starting sleeping longer which gives Mom a well needed break. She's working on 7-8 hour stretches. We've even had a couple of 9 hour nights (keep your fingers crossed that this continues!) She has also moved out of our room and up into her crib this week. She seems to be doing just fine, but we miss having her so close.

Happy Girl

 Another big update is that her first tooth is appearing! She has been fussing a little more than normal and drooling like crazy. We checked on Monday night and we can see the bottom right one coming up. She's been doing pretty well so hopefully it doesn't bother her too much. We're also planning to start solids this coming weekend. I am going to attempt making the food at home and see how it goes. Stay tuned for the next big update.

Indian Summer

 This past weekend we had lots of fun enjoying the great weather. We hit the trail, (ok the mean streets of Saline), and enjoyed the neighborhood on Saturday and Sunday. Many people were out and there was a lot to look at! We did a little shopping at the mall and Rose was awake and checking things out the whole time. I think she really enjoyed all the shiny things at the Macy's Christmas display. Can you believe it's out already?!

We did lots of playing and I hit up a mom to mom sale and found some great finds. Rose now has her first toy guitar, much to Dad's delight. I'll need to get a picture of that.

We enjoyed celebrating Great Grandma W's belated birthday. Rose was full of smiles for everyone and busy in the exersaucer and her bumbo. Those thighs are getting pretty chunky so I think the bumbo's days are numbered.

Our Big Girl Has A Big Week!

So Rose has been very busy this past week. She enjoyed her very first sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa T last Saturday! She was a very good girl, so will hopefully be welcomed back :) She also spent three days in a row with Grandma H enjoying the nice weather and all her toys.

We set up her jumper last weekend and she enjoys bouncing around while trying to put any or all of her toys in her mouth at the same time. No teeth have popped up quite yet, but we are certainly going through the bibs trying to catch that drool.

She has discovered her feet and likes putting those toes in her mouth after bath time. She squeals with delight at this newfound talent. Such fun :)
