Vivian: Week 19 - Here comes the sun

The sun is out but unfortunately so are the bugs. Luckily I stumbled upon a neat little sun/bug shield for Vivian's car seat. We have been spending a lot of time at the downtown parks but unfortunately Vivian can't come out of her car seat unless we find some good shade. She isn't old enough to wear sunscreen yet. Even in the car seat she still manages to attract lots of attention, mostly from preteen girls at the park who find her 'adorable'.

I have really noticed that Vivian can pick out our voices lately. Whenever she hears her daddy or brother come in the room she perks right up and stares at them with her big blue eyes. She is sleeping less and less during the days lately, but still getting a solid 12 hours at night so no complaints here!

Working the camera.

She sure loves being naked. I let her wiggle around for a bit in her crib.

"Get out of my photo Adrian!"

Vivian: Week 18 - Attitude

What a week we have had with all of the wedding festivities. Vivian charmed many a wedding guest I am sure and received a lot of attention. She was not impressed today when she was back to her swing and crib for naps instead of resting comfortably in somebody's arms.

Vivian is starting to really play with her toys lately. Of course what she really wants to do is chew on my fingers for some odd reason but I try to give her a toy instead. I don't even want to think about where my hands are in the run of a day while I am taking care of Adrian! She is very drooly and even has a little rash on her chin from it so maybe those elusive teeth are on their way after all.

Oh Happy Day!

What a weekend we had. Brian and Tracey's wedding was perfect and we had so much fun the entire weekend that we are just starting to recover now. I was a busy mommy as I was trying to take care of 2 kids (with lots and lots of help thankfully), be a good bridesmaid and MC on top of that. So needless to say I didn't get a whole lot of pictures but the photographer did so hopefully we will have more someday soon. Adrian was oh so adorable in his suit and Vivian was a vision in her little dresses. We were out until almost midnight and Adrian danced up a storm with anyone who would 'dance' with him. (Meaning carry him while dancing.) What a great time!

The wedding was beautiful and I am so proud of my little brother and his gorgeous new wife. I hope they are having a spectacular time in Italy right now. I am not jealous at all. I swear. (- ;

Rock on!

Vivian: Week 17 - 2 feet tall

Vivian is officially 4 months old this week. We actually got in to see a doctor last week and as we suspected she is doing great. She weighed 14.5 lbs and was 2 whole feet long! One sad thing for me is that her baby bathtub is 2 feet long which means it is probably time to retire it. I sure am having a hard time with it for some odd reason. Perhaps because I don't know if I'll ever have another baby in it or not. (Hormonal? lol)

Vivian loves to grab things now. She is constantly rubbing and reaching for whatever is within her reach and has even started to put things in her mouth. The only problem is that she can get very distracted while eating now. I miss our peaceful, still nursing sessions. Sometimes I have to use my hands as 'blinders' to get her to focus on eating.

This weekend is the big weekend for the Underhill family! Uncle Brian is getting married to Aunt Tracey and we are all going to Halifax for the big day. We here at the Underhill-Jones house could not be more excited!

I am too big for this tub!

And too big for this dress!

But not quite as big as this guy.
