HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Well, my mommy and daddy have been pretty busy lately with the holiday right around the corner, so we haven't been good about posting news in a while! My mom says "sorry!" She promises to do more blogging after the holiday when there's a bit more time. There are some updates: I rolled over for the 1st time on Sunday morning--my parents were cheering and dancing :-P I do a raspberry sound with my mouth too...which is fun to do right in my mommy and daddy's face! :-D We have some holiday pictures to share--some are from when we got my pictures taken a couple weeks ago, our Christmas tree and stockings and more of ME! :)

We want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS (this is my first one--I'm excited!!)

Love,
me, mommy and daddy

Weekend in Illinois

This past weekend mommy, daddy and I went back to Illinois and stayed with Grammy and Grandpa Lazz. My parents went to Aunt Mandy and Uncle Danny Soderstrom's wedding while I stayed back and played with G&G--we had a lot of fun!! Then, on Sunday lots of my family came over: Aunt Mel with Grace and Michael; Aunt Karie, Uncle Nate with Emma, Tim, Aiden and Lizzy; Aunt Erin with Jake and Luke; and I got to see my Uncle Matt and Aunt Kacey along with Thomas and Tessa again--so much fun!! We had a great time together :) Here are some pictures: Aunt Kacey (above) and me, Michael showing me how to do a bear crawl, Aunt Erin feeding me (yum!), Emma holding me, Aunt Karie snuggling me (gosh, I love this!), and Aunt Mel showing me off!

Home Sweet Home

Here are some visitors who have come to see me :) It is so nice to meet more family, my cousins and friends--I love all the hugs and kisses! Oh yes, and Grammy Leigh stayed with us last week and we had a great time: shopping at Sendiks grocery store, Kohl's, cuddling and taking walks around the block! What fun :-D

Discharge Day--Tuesday, September 16th!!!

Finally, mom, dad and I are leaving the nursery today :) We're all very excited...in fact, mom and dad are planning on celebrating my birthday and the day I left the hospital each year! I will miss all the nice doctors and nurses who helped me feel better, but it was really nice sitting in my car seat and driving home to meet Ernie my new feline friend!

Visitors Weekend!

These past two weekends I've had many visitors! My grandparents--Grammy Leigh, Grandpa John, and Grandpa Tom, Grammy Sue; Aunt Emily and Uncle Patrick, Melissa and Bob, and of course Mommy and Daddy. I can't wait to meet other family and friends. I LOVED being passed around and I got a lot of hugs and kisses--no wonder I'm feeling better each day :)
