A month!

Little Lola turned a month old. She is weighing in at around 10lbs. She is eating about 4 oz at a setting and staying awake about most of the day and only waking Mommy up at 12 or 2 depending on when she goes to sleep. She is still fitting her newborn onsies but is really pushing the edge newborn diapers.

My third week

I started off my third week by taking Daddy to the airport on Monday. He had to go to a meeting in Cambridge. On Tuesday Mommy & I woke up to no electricity. Luckily, it was not a super hot day. Mrs. Anderson & her two daughters came to play with me. The electricity finally came on 6 hous later. On Wednesday I went with Mommy to my first prayer circle. We talked about the women's mission for this fall. There are such loving women in Mommy's prayer group. Later that day Daddy came home from his trip and brought me a surprise- a book, Make way for Ducklings, that is famous from Boston. He read it to me too! On Thursday we went to church to visit some more new friends. Marcia fed me lunch. Then we went to the mall but I slept the whole time. On Friday we went to eat fried chicken in Castle Rock and there were a bunch of people there who were going to the rodeo. They kept waking me up so Daddy had to hold me during dinner. Saturday we went shopping for me a stroller. Sunday we went to church and then I watched the race with Daddy while Mommy went to see The Devil wears Prada at the movies with her friend. Then Sunday evening my brother Eric returned from his mission trip to Kentucky. Enjoy these photos.

My second week

On day 12 my belly button stem fell off. On day 13 I watched my first race with daddy while mommy went to see the pirate moviewith my brothers. On day 14 some friends brought us dinner- Maggiano's-Huge thanks to Kumu and Ganesh. On day 15 Grandma Carter came to visit for half a day and took me to Sonic for my first time. On day 16 I went with mommy and the neighbor for a girls lunch at Panera Bread. On day 17 I went for my check up at the doctors, where they told me I weighed 8lbs and 8 oz. They also pricked my foot to take some blood - which made me cry and cry. The doctor said I looked great. On day 18 we took my brother Eric to church at 6 in the morning so he could go on the mission trip. Then later we had a girls night in while my big brother Adam went to the races with daddy. On day 19 mom and dad took me shopping for a dress to wear to church and all the sales ladies wanted to help me. On day 20 mommy and daddy took me to church and Ms Skipp held me the whole service. Here are some pictures to enjoy!

Daddy went back to work

Today was Mommy & Lola's first day home alone. We started our day off with a little bath- with no crying! Then a big nap. After lunch she wanted the tv on to fall asleep. Daddy came home after that. It was a great first day home alone.

Happy 1 week birthday Lola

Today Lola is 1 week old. She spent alot of time awake.Once she stayed awake from feeding to feeding. During dinner she sat and played in her little bouncy chair.

Hello Grandpa & Grandma Randall

Lola met her Grandma & Grandpa Randall from Oklahoma today. They are visiting for the weekend. She is staying awake longer. It's been fun to spend some time with her with her eyes open.

Lola's first favorite book

During diaper changes Miss Lola has found it so fun to look at the book TAILS. She will just look and look at the cover of the book. When she is on her back she will roll to her side to see it. At the doctor's visit she told us to let Lola have a couple minutes of belly time to help her start to use her back muscles. When we layed her on her stomach she almost rolled over -it was really amazing watching her kick her legs.
