Bea opening her presents

Christmas 2008

We feel very blessed this Christmas to have all of our family with us and to experience Bea's first Christmas. A year ago Bea was just a tiny little dot on a ultrasound and now we can't imagine life before her. Ben and I had so much fun watching Bea on Christmas morning. She's enthralled by everything at this age and is putting everything in her mouth... everything! Even though Christmas was today we will be updating this album with more pictures throughout the holiday since her Christmas will be over several days. So come back again later for more pics!

She also is enjoying eating a few tablespoons of fruit and cereal every night. She's now knows what a spoon and bowl means and immediatly opens her mouth for more... so cute! She weighs 14lbs and 6oz. And is rolling over on her tummy and back now. Not just in her sleep anymore. She is so strong I feel like she could walk before she crawls. Yikes...watch out!

Thanksgiving and Christmas cont.

Here are some more photos taken between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

How am I growing?

Bea is four almost five months old now. Her most recent doctors appointment revealed that she was:

Height: 25 and 1/2 inches
Weight: 13 lbs. even

She is also rolling over (once), rolling on her side like a champ, holding her head up without wabbling, using her exersaucer, eating solid foods, and teething!!! It's been an exciting few weeks!

Recent Photos

Since I have gone back to work we have been very busy! Therefore, I have not been as busy with my camera as I was when I was home all day with Bea. Some of our pictures are also our Christmas card so I didn't want to reveal that picture until it has been sent out. Bea has also been very sick the last few weeks... she asked that we not photograph her until she is feeling better. So here are just a few of the photos I have taken in the last couple of weeks.
