Flower Power!

Our flower baby was all smiles for her photo shoot this afternoon!


Smiling big for the camera!


Realizing that there is something on her head!

Wondering why Mommy isn't taking that something off of her head!

Eating her blanket.

Our innocent angel!

NUDIE GIRL!!!

Showing off her ruffle-butt undies with her name on them!

Smiling at her best friend "Fannie" the ceiling fan!

Getting sleepy...it's very exhausting being that cute!

'Lil Pumpkin

Buggy is ready for Halloween! She even has her scary face down cold!

...when I pretended to be afraid of her spooky face, she had to let me know that she was only kidding and gave me a big smile!

This is her newest friend, "Jack". We have to bring him everywhere we go! She even fell asleep looking at him last night...just another toy that I'll have to replace the batteries for weekly!

I went to check on Buggy while she was taking her nap this afternoon, and I found her staring at her favorite toy, talking to it, wondering why it wasn't on!

Of course I had to turn it on for her! She can nap later!

New Stats!

We had another exciting visit from our physical therapist, Anne, and after a long hour of stretching, Hailey couldn't take it anymore, and passed out on the floor. At least she's turning her little head the right way!

Then, after a long weekend of battling what the doctor thinks was the swine flu (but we think she was just trying to get out of her vaccinations because she got sick on the day of her well-baby visit!), Hailey finally make it in for her 4 month check-up. Mommy had to hold her during her shots this time, and as expected, it was excruciating! Fortunately, I didn't bawl my eyes out like I did last time, but Hailey on the other hand, that's a different story...

After some oatmeal and a long nap, she woke up a much happier baby. She's very proud of her new stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 9oz (50th percentile)

Height: 25 1/4" (75th percentile)

HEAD: 16 3/4" (90th PERCENTILE!!) Good Lord that's a big dome-structure...she has her Daddy to thank for that! Seriously, the nurse had to come back in and measure her head again just to make sure it was actually that large! She's gone from 5th to 90th percentile in 3 months! Lots of brains I guess!

She's still our cutie, big head and all!

Poor Sick Buggy

Our poor sweet baby is sick! It is hands down the worst feeling in the whole world! There's nothing we can do, except love on her...lots!


She's just not happy unless we are holding her (which is fine with me!) or unless she is sleeping...
which has been a groggy, Tylenol induced sleep for the last 2 days!


Simply pathetic, staring off into space! Poor little Buggy!

At least she always has her two yummy fingers nearby to keep her calm and comforted.

Hope you feel better in the morning Buggy!

Back to Our Old Stomping Grounds!

Buggy and I made a trip back to her birthplace today! Boy do we miss Charlottesville! It was nice for her to meet all the people who talked to her through my fat belly for 9 long months!

Posing with all the lovely ladies from my old office!

She's getting pretty used to being the center of attention all the time!

Hamming it up for the camera!

Buggy finally got to meet Jena and I think she recognized her voice! Jena talked to my belly EVERYDAY for 9 months and made sure I was well fed during the pregnancy by bringing me muffins, Chick-fil-a milkshakes and lots of other nutritional treats everyday!

We miss you Dougy!

I am just amazed at how fast Hailey is growing, right before my eyes! She barely fits in her car seat anymore!

I mean, seriously! She looks like an entirely different baby! I can't believe she was ever that tiny!

Pre-gaming with Daddy before "Da Bears" game!

Looking stunned when Jay Cutler threw all those interceptions, and then again when Urlacher got hurt! First her Cubbies let her down, and now Da Bears...how much can one baby take?!

Sporting her mommy's Holly Hobbie jammies circa 1981! I think she looks better in them than I did. Apparently, I was a much larger baby (hence the nickname "Chubba Bubba" which I am still answering to...thanks mom and dad!) because the bottoms to this lovely ensemble were too stretched out to fit on our little Buggy.

Playing "soooo big" with Daddy!

She's so very proud of herself when she stands up like a big girl!

Smiling big for her daddy before he left for his business trip to the Big Apple. Your girls miss you Dougy and can't wait until you come home!

Week in Review

Buggy is such a big girl now! She's very proud of her latest trick! She's flipping and rolling all over the place! She doesn't seem to want to stay in one spot. And so it begins...I think I will be chasing her all over the place once she starts crawling! Ugh!

Here she is showing off her milk-gut!

And now she's going to demonstrate her most recent achievement....

6) Ta-Dah! She's such a show-off!

A little tummy-time...

A little drool...

We l0ve watching the school children across the street from us play duck-duck-goose during recess!

I finally broke down and bought Buggy some Baby Einstein DVD's. Since she has inherited the TV gene from her mom, she might as well start watching something educational. Otherwise, I was afraid that her first words were going to be "Bleep", "OMG", or "Real Housewives"...or worse, considering the quality programming that I normally have on. (Pretty much anything that a high-school girl would watch! Very UN-educational! Thank goodness for DVR!)

Buggy and Douggy eating dinner outside his office.

Buggy and Mommy.

Working on some very important business transactions in bed with Daddy. Soooo serious!

She LOVES playing airplane!

Pretty blue eyes!

She's not quite sure what to think about her cereal at first...

...but she comes from a family of gooood eaters...

...and after a couple of bites, she's one happy baby!

Showing off the new dress Granny-Nanny got her!

All dressed up and ready for a day off shopping at the Outlets! She HAS to look her best, because you never know what cute boys are going to be in the Carter's and Osh-Gosh stores! She's gonna be a heartbreaker!

A little more drool...didn't you hear, swallowing is TOTALLY overrated....it's SOOO 2008!

More airplane with Uncle-Poogie!
