Welcome Baby Bristol

I have a new baby GIRL to play with!!!! Mommy got a picture message at 3:38am this morning ... it was baby Bristol!!!

Bristol Isabella Sprague

6 lb 2 oz

(The picture is kinda blurry...sorry!!!)

...isn't she beautiful! We are SO excited...and cannot wait to meet her! Mommy is really sad that she can't go to the hospital to see her but we will have to go to the house and meet her next week. Mommy can't wait to talk to Heather and hear how everything went...she heard that she didn't have ANY drugs...WOW!

Well we are very blessed to have another beautiful healthy baby in our lives. We love you Kody, Heather, Carter & baby Bristol!!!!!

Teeth

Mommy thinks that I MUST have teeth coming soon. I am chewing on EVERYTHING. I like to grab onto anything I can and chew on it. I am also drooling like crazy. Mommy hasn't been able to feel anything yet but they have to be on their way!

So I have gotten to go camping the past 2 weekends in a row!!! I had SO much fun. First we went camping with Uncle Cody, Gramma Nanci, Uncle Gary and lots of other people. I got to sleep in Uncle Gary's new camper - that was pretty fun. Then last weekend we went to Allegany State Park with Uncle Eric and Aunt Corie. Gramma JoJo, Auntie Alice and Uncle Dave stopped by too! It was SO much fun. I got to hang out by the fire ALL day. And I got to yell and scream as much as I wanted (it is my new favorite thing to do - with a smile on my face of course!).

Gramma JoJo has taken over watching me on Tuesday nights so that mommy can go to her weight watchers meetings. She also offered to make dinner for mommy and daddy every Tuesday too! Mommy is very excited and grateful for this because she really doesn't feel like cooking when she gets home from weight watchers! Last night Gramma JoJo made shrimp pasta yummm She also had french bread, which she shared with me!!! Here are some pictures of me gnawing on a piece of french bread. I LOVED it...I thought it was really fun to put this in my mouth.

Fooooood

So I have decided that I am REALLY liking this eating from a spoon thing! The doctor told mommy at my 4 month visit that she can start feeding me fruits. Boy do I love fruit! Not so sure about the peaches...but I have liked everything else so far. I am also eating cereal from a spoon too. I am doing REALLY good. One of my new things though is to do the "motorboat" with my lips. I especially like to do this when mommy is feeding me - because she laughs really hard at me when I cover her with food! The more she laughs, the more I do it!!!

Sometimes I get some food on my face though. I get really excited when I get to eat from a spoon so I just want to keep going and I don't give mommy enough time to clean off my face. This is what I look like when I do that!!

So this weekend is my FIRST camping trip!! I am going to stay in Uncle Gary's camper...and I am pretty excited. Mommy and daddy keep telling me how much fun I am going to have - I just can't wait!

Well I am really missing my cousin Jacob, Auntie Erin and Uncle Micky :o( It was really fun having them here for a while...even though Jacob wasn't too sure about me - I still loved watching him play!

Lots of Love - hope to talk to you next week...I really have to get on mommy about updating this more often :o)

Sunshine!!

So it is 85 degrees here today...can you believe it!! It was SO nice not to have to get all bundled up to come home today. Mommy snuck out of work a couple hours early today and came to get me!! I was pretty excited...but I don't think I was quite as excited as mommy.


Then we came home and there are MORE chickens in my basement!! 21 new baby chickens came today - these ones are MUCH smaller than the ones that we already have. So daddy moved the older ones outside to their coop and put the new ones in the brooder box. They are REALLY cute. 10 of them are yellow and 11 are black and white and yellow. I stared at them for a little bit - they were making noises at me!


Well Erin and Jake come to visit us in 4 days!!! YAY

Here is a picture of me playing in my exersaucer...it's pretty fun - I have a lot of things to look at and grab!!

Cereal!!!

So mommy and daddy decided that I was showing ALL the signs that I was ready to start trying some cereal. I can...

• Sit while supported
• Follow mommy and daddy all over the room with my eyes
• Hold my head up really good
• Grasp things with my hand
• Roll over
• Push my chest off the floor with my arms

And there are many more...I am so smart we can't list ALL of my accomplishments here!


I have been getting cereal in my bottles for a while now. My reflux hasn't been bothering me (thanks to my medicine) but I still spit up A LOT! So mommy tried to feed me some cereal from the spoon instead of a bottle and guess what...

it was REALLY good! OK I admit I still kind of make a mess...but I am doing so good! I like to open my mouth when mommy brings the spoon closer. Sometimes she can't get it to me fast enough and I pull my bib or my cloth up and stick that in my mouth instead cause I am just so excited!

Well I am REALLY looking forward to meet my Auntie Erin and Cousin Jacob...but I am really sad that I won't be able to meet Uncle Ben :o( I can't wait till Tuesday!! YAY

Love, CJ

P.S. Auntie Er I will try my best to stay awake for you...but I'm not making any promises!

Happy Easter

( Look at my face...my friend Maverick thought I would really like some of his blueberries!)

OK - so mommy can admit...it has been a long time since she has posted anything! (I'm really sorry for that everyone) I just seem to take up all of mommy's time! Here are some good pictures for you though - thanks to Aunt C!

So what has happened since mommy posted last.....I have been talking up a storm lately - no one seems to understand me, but I do LOVE to talk! Especially to my favorite dog - on my play mat. I LOVE the songs that he sings...and I even love when mommy sings those songs to me!

Mommy and Daddy got me a new car last night ;o) I knew I had them wrapped around my little pinkie but WOW hehe
Also last night - I sucked on my thumb for the first time!!! I think maybe I am working on a couple teeth, because I have been drooling A LOT...and sticking EVERYTHING in my mouth. Well last night I found my thumb and I sucked and sucked and sucked but nothing came out! Another one of my favorite things to do is lick everything. I am figuring out different textures and tastes all the time with this crazy tongue - I just can't keep it in my mouth!
Well this weekend for Easter we are going to Gramma Jojo's for the afternoon, and then Mommy is cooking dinner. Great Gramm bought me a very pretty Easter dress! I am so excited to wear it :o) I also overheard mommy and Aunt C talking about planning an annual Easter Egg Hunt! WOW I can't wait till I am big enough to walk and look for Easter eggs!!!

Happy Easter everyone :o)

Lots of Love
