I'm afraid she's a mini me....

Well I just have to come out and say it... Rhoslyn seems to have my personality.  Not that my personality is bad (at least I sure hope not)...but I am not sure if I want the pre-teen and teenage years to come if she is anything like me (right mom?!)!

Last night I was feeding her sweet potatoes and I she dribbled a bit on her pants.  I went to get a wash cloth to wipe them and OH MY GOODNESS, she started screaming!  She was not happy that I stopped feeding her for all of five seconds.  I mean, I couldn't put it in her mouth fast enough!  Not to mention, she ate the entire container (granted it was close to bottle time and they are 1st foods so the containers are small, but still). 

She show's this attitude when she is drinking her bottles as well.  She is up to 5 oz. at a time now, so of course it would be good to burp in between, right?!  According to her... not so much!  She will let you know that she completely disagree's.  She is such a little drama queen and has quite an attitude.  Come on, she is only 4 months old!

Rhoslyn's first taste of the good stuff

Yesterday Rhoslyn had her first taste of sweet potatoes!  We have tried cereal, but just like her big brother she didn't want anything to do with it!  I don't think either of them like the texture of it.

She definately enjoyed the sweet potatoes and finished the rest of the container today.  So fun to watch her smack her lips and open her mouth big when she see's the spoon coming. 

Also another big milestone for her, she has moved up in the qaunity of formula she is consuming.  She has gone from 20-22 oz. a day to 24-25 oz. a day.

Puzzle Masterpiece

Alex has conquered his first floor puzzle.  He can now put the whole thing together all by himself without any help from mom or dad.  He started mastering a section at a time and before we knew it, he could put the whole puzzle together all by himself!

When he first figured this out he literally put it together 8-10 times in one day!  Such a big accomplishment for him.

This picture has nothing to do with puzzles, but tonight he put this on his finger claiming he had an owie and said it was his bandaid.  Totally had to take a picture because he was so creative about it... and well, I love taking pictures of the kiddo's!! 

4 months old!

Our little Rhoslyn has already hit the 4 month mark!  She is talking up a storm with all her noises, coo's, and squeels.  She loves to lay on the floor and play with toys on her playmat.  She kicks her legs and moves her arms all of the time.  We are even getting more and more giggles out of her. 

We took her to her 4 month check up yesterday and had to get those darn shots.  She isn't feel too well today and is sleeping a lot.  On a bright note she is 13lbs. 5 oz. and 24 3/4 inches long!  She is a little peanut compared to her brother!

(Rhoslyn and Chandler-who is exactly one month younger then her-- Aren't they so cute together?!)

Taggie Time!

So since Alex is completely crazy over his 'taggie' he had picked one out for Rhoslyn and gave it to her at the hospital.  She also seems to love her 'taggie' as well!

Alex is always looking for and getting Rhoslyn's taggie for her.  I just had to get some photo's of these two holding onto their little blankies.

(Yes she is sucking her fingers and he is sucking his thumb.... my kids must have a strong need to suck!)

(Maybe I should go and stock up on these now.... I think Alex is going to expect that every brother or sister have one when they come home from the hospital!)

Dear Santa:

This afternoon before heading for a nap, we all sat down and wrote letters to Santa.  Alex has many things to ask for and was very excited to put his letter and Rhoslyn's letter in the mail box. 

After nap we will see if the mail man came to get their letters and take them to Santa's house!

  

Future Home

Well it looks like we found our new future home in Green Bay!  It is an old home, but it's a ranch home with a two car garage and has a great yard! 

Alex seems pretty excited about it and has been talking about it since we looked at it yesterday.  I am glad I was able to take him with.  I think it will make the move just a little easier on him.

The best part is all of the extra room!  If you are interested in seeing photo's check on facebook.

We are getting very excited about the move.  Our plan is to move there around the 2nd weekend in January.

So...........who is going to help?! =)
