She did it!

Our little Rhoslyn rolled over today for the first time!  We are so very proud of her.  I put her on her tummy and she slowly made her way to her back. 

It's always so exciting when your kids hit these milestones!

She has also made it through all stage one vegetables... looks like green beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes are her favorite.  Hopefully she is a veggie lover like her brother is! 

"No baby in there!"

Before you automactically think... "Oh my God, is she pregnant?!"  No I am not. =)

When I was pregnant with Rhoslyn we used to take Billy's little flash light and put it to my belly to see if we could get her to kick where the light was.  Alex always thought this was so fun (not that he really understood).  Apparently he thought we were looking for her!

Today he was playing with daddy's flash light and wanted to look at my belly.  I told him there wasn't a baby in there but he could check it out for himself.  Then he said, "nope.. no baby in there."  He continued to play along and look in other random places.... such as up daddy's pant leg while he was feeding Rhoslyn!  Everyone he would say that he didn't find a baby.  It was too funny and too cute!

And since we are on the topic of looking for babies... let me post a few photo's of my little princess!

Isn't she a doll!  (By the way, the baby is from Santa and she LOVES it!) 

So cute!

Santa's on his way!

We spent today with Billy's family and had a wonderful time!  We all received some great gifts.... Alex seemed most excited about getting a Buzz and Woody!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful presents and such a wonderful day!  We are blessed to have such a great family.

So we had our plan all set out when we got home... Alex would help hang up his stocking and Rhoslyn's (this is where Santa is leaving presents), put out cookies and juice, and read The Night Before Christmas.  Let's just say that Alex was so over tired he mostly cried and screamed.  It was a chore to even brush his teeth.  He was so out of it that putting out the stocking and leaving cookies out wasn't as much fun as I had hoped.  Oh well, what are you going to do right?!  Hopefully next year he won't fall asleep on the way home. =)

Billy and I are really looking forward to tomorrow morning and we may even sleep out in the living room tonight.  (Alex doesn't tend to wake us up and is very quiet in the morning so we are afraid he will start tearing though presents with out us!)  We can't wait to see the look on his face and the twinkle in his big brown eyes!

Alex has already requested that we have breakfast "picnic" style on a blanket on the floor in the living room.  Sounds fun.... let's hope the syrup from our pancakes stays away from the wrapping paper all over the floor!!

Merry Christmas to all of you!!

Christmas, here we come!

The car is packed, presents wrapped, diaper bag almost ready, dishes done, house clean, laundry in progress.... we are ready for Christmas!

Merry Christmas to ALL!!!

Thank you Auntie Kelly and Auntie Birgitta!

We skyped with Alex's Aunties all the way in Australia and they let him open up his Christmas present while we chatted on the computer.  He was very excited about the gift... exactly what he had put on his Christmas list!

(Rhoslyn hasn't opened hers yet, but she is getting some really great books.... oh how we LOVE NEW BOOKS!)

Alex recieved Dr. Feel Bad, Tormentor, and Ligtining McMean monster trucks!  He was instantly in love!  He has been playing with them ever since.

Christmas is right around the corner!

Okay... so this is going to be a pretty long blog with TONS of pictures!  (But who doesn't love pictures?!)  We had a pretty busy weekend with lots of Christmas festivities.  We enjoyed decorating cut out cookies and making our very first gingerbread house (except it was made with graham crackers... I might be super mom (yeah right), but I wasn't about to make homemade ginger bread)! 

I know your thinking... "come on, come on... let's just see the pictures!"

This is the first cookie Alex decorating.  He started to pour the green sugar and just left it upside down.  Before we knew it the whole cookie was completely covered in green sugar.  Billy and I started laughing which in return embarressed Alex and he got upset.  But we told him that this is the best cookie for Santa and he will love it!

                                                                      

Billy and I decorating cookies with Alex!

This is what Rhoslyn did while we decorated.  She will be able to enjoy it more next year.

All of the cookies we decorated (of course except the ones we sampled... which was Alex's favorite part!).



Gingerbread House making.  This is the first time we made one and we had a blast!  Alex LOVED eating all of the candy of course!





Isn't it a beauty?!  We are ready to move right in!



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!
