Post turkey :) Matt loves his little girl
Here she is having her first meal. She didn't want to sit still for pictures so they are all blurry. She loved the cereal but had a hard time keeping it in her mouth. All you other parents out there will know what I mean. It was so cute!
Not bad huh?
They won first place for funniest costume :)
She has learned to sit up on her own. YAY! Crawling is only a few months away... yikes
This is what her dad does with her. Who knows what crazy things she learns about when I'm gone :) At least he doesn't let her drink it, yet.
She has chosen a favorite finger: the thumb (not a shocker). Hopefully the habit ends at an appropriate age... although we are already saving for braces.
She loves hanging out in the 'exersaucer' that her Grandma Schroeder is letting her borrow.
She also has found her feet. I hear that means sitting up is just around the corner. But when your 4 months old, what isn't just around the corner?
She now fits into the first outfit that Matt and I bought for her. Fitting, isn't it?
I've also broadened my selection of girly outfits for her and am trying to make her look all cute with the hairband. It's still a bit big I guess.
Porscha loves to hang out with dad... he lets her drive cars... parked cars to be specific...
... and mini excavators :) LOOK MOM... NO HANDS!!!
We recently went to the fair. It was a lot of fun to watch her smile at all the new things (I didn't let her near any animals because of the petting zoo experience a month ago; maybe next year). I was trying to make it look like that pumpkin was going to eat her, but it didn't work out... oh well, she's still cute!
Porscha finally decided to wake up when we went on the wagon ride. Here she is with her Aunt Lily.
She doesn't look too excited about this wagon ride, but since it was free we just had to do it.
Lily got the camera and had a photo shoot with Porscha in her car seat. She is such a fun baby!
And here we are with Aunt Mercedes, Cousin Gabe, and one of the animals at the petting zoo. She wasn't too excited about that cow... it went to lick her but I got my arm in the way just in time. I can't say the same for Gabe; he got licked on the face... twice :)
Here is Porscha chillin with her dad. She loves to spend time with him!
She has discovered her hands! I am so happy that she has found them, but they seem to always be in her mouth... I tell her several times a day that the binki goes in the mouth, not the hand (wouldn't it be nice if she could understand?)
Her dress was made by Matt's mom and Porscha looked beautiful in it.
Porscha was 23 inches long in this picture... that's a really big leaf.
Here we are by the creek that ran next to our campsite. She kept staring at the leaves.
She loved that stick. Matt got it for her on one of their nature walks. She had a hard time just sitting at the campsite and so we would have to get up every so often and walk around with her. It made eating together difficult.
Here she is staring at the camp fire we made. She was like that for the longest time. So it turns out that fire entertains her... if only we had known this sooner :)
One of her favorite things to do is, of course, sleep. It amazes me how she can sleep anywhere; if only I could do that.
Her other favorite thing is taking a bath. It will be even more fun when she is old enough to play with her bath toys, but until then I have fun playing with them for her :)
