Her newest trick - pulling

Chasing chickens and jumping around

Having a blast in the jumperoo

Chatty Stasa

Stasa's so funny. I had Tom feed her a bottle the other night since I had just pumped and wanted a break. As soon as the bottle was near her mouth, she grabbed it and popped it in. Greedy girl.

Look at her fingers turning white from gripping the bottle so tightly.

Here's a good example of the screaming she's been doing lately. For fun.

Here's more of Stasa "talking" while playing.

14 weeks old

Happy 14 weeks, little chunker! I weighed her the other day and the scale looked like it said 15 pounds, but I refuse to believe that she weighs that much already. She is IN LOVE with her hands and spends a good amount of the day chewing and sucking on them. Too bad half of the time she chokes herself because she tries sticking both in at the same time.

She seems to really like being at Geraldine's house during the day. She's always really happy and alert on the ride home and plays with us until her bathtime. She can no longer be trusted to sit on the couch by herself since she now launches forward and rolls onto her face.

She's so cute in the mornings - all smiles and coos. She hangs out in her Bumbo on the kitchen floor while we pack our lunches and get her stuff together. She just sits there and smiles as we walk by her. So stinking cute.

She refused to look normal for the camera - every time I focused on her, she made a weirdo face, like this:

She knows she's cool (Nash and Mota - can you read what the shirt says?)

She loves hanging out in her jumperoo when we get home


Check out the 2nd chin and the arm dimples. It's her milk fat!

More jumperoo fun and 2 new hats

Stasa played in her jumperoo again and is still loving it. I think she really likes being upright and using her legs to kick. I only keep her in it for 30 minutes at a time since she's still a little small for it.

I bought a crocheted beanie for Stasa off of Etsy.com and when it came it looked easy enough to make. So I attempted making a hat out of the cotton yarn I had leftover. It came out okay so I'm going to make a few more. Here are some pictures of her in the jumperoo and her new hats.

The jumperoo and Monday playdate

We bought Stasa the Fisher Price Precious Planet jumperoo yesterday since she likes being upright and has been pushing off of her legs on us. She's still a little too small for it, but after putting some rolled up blankets around her and 2 phone books under her, she was jumping up a storm. Plus, she got rewarded for tiny movements, so she really enjoyed it. Here are some pictures of her exploring her new toy.

Watching the lion dance

"What's this spinning toy, mama?"

"Yay! I love jumping!"

We went on another playdate today with Audrea and Issac. We met them at the mall for coffee and a quick walk. Well, you all know I'm a pretty talkative person and can sometimes overwhelm others. Audrea was pretty quiet and I had to really work to keep her talking. She probably thought I was a big weirdo, babbling away. You guys don't think I'm a big weirdo, do you? Okay, don't answer that. I have 3 more playdates this week; 1 with another new mom, Erica, 1 with Liz from work and 1 with Helen and Landon. At least I know I'll have fun on Friday.
