Grandpa Hildebrand is coming on Saturday! I will get to see him for the first time. Then on Monday, Uncle John and Aunt Susan will be here! Mama is getting menus and food prepared and the house is all ready, too.

New happenings....

• I have been taking naps in my crib in MY room now and I like to sleep on my tummy. Last Thursday and Friday night I just refused to sleep on my back and kept Daddy and Mama up the whole night. They finally let me sleep on my tummy after the doctor said it was OK.
  I can put my whole foot in my mouth now. I like to do it when Mama takes me for a walk.
• It is HOT here. I'm not used to this hot weather. I don't like walking much anymore. Mama ends up carrying me near the end of the walk.
• The pool opens this weekend. Maybe I will go and stick my feet in the water!
• I still don't like to ride in the car! It is the only time I'm fussy.
• I love the cell phone. I like to hear Nanny's voice. How does she fit inside the little phone?
• I started playing the low notes on the piano when Mama is holding me during piano lessons and not looking. I have surprised a few students!
• I learned that Mama has hair and that if I pull really hard, it comes out!
• I give Daddy kisses now, too!

so excited!

more talking...

Sunday afternoon pictures

I can hold my head up so well that Mama let me try the bath time by myself... although she was watching very closely to make sure I didn't slip! I also tried on a new outfit from Emily Hicks. I'm going to wear it to church tomorrow.

19 weeks old tomorrow

I had another doctor appointment today! Daddy was able to come along! I like it when he comes and I like my doctor, too. He is funny. He pretends to tackle me, but I'm strong; I kicked him pretty hard! Dr. said he rarely sees a kid like me hold and pull his head up so easily! Mama said I've been doing it for a few months with ease. I'm 16.5 pounds and 27" long! (Watch out, Evie! I'm going to pass you any day now.) Mama calls me her little "pork and beans". I really like the noisy paper. Mama took a video of me.

my 2 Jeremy friends

Uncle Jeremy and Jeremy (Daddy's NY friend) came to see me! We went to Ruby Tuesday's and met Daddy for lunch before they drove home.

bedtime giggles

Mama tries to say funny things to make me giggle. Sometimes they are funny and sometimes they aren't! I try to laugh or at least smile either way!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUNT CANDICE!

Happy, happy birthday to my Aunt Candice! I got to see her last night (and Uncle Daniel and Oli the dog!)

Mr. Flexible

I got to hang out with Daddy a lot this weekend. He watched me while Mama practiced and played the prelude at church, played toys with me, let me do the "slide" on his lap, and took a nap with me, too. I give Daddy big smiles to let him know that I like him.

I like to impress Mama with my great flexibility. I can hold my toes and tap my boppy friends with them while the swing is moving.

Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Hildebrand for the turtle onesie!

my little sweetheart

18 weeks old!

Yesterday morning. Mama awoke me earlier than usual to sit through one piano lesson before we left for the Godfrey's home! I got to play with Brock and Evie. Brock is really smart now. He knows all about raw foods (e.g., he knew cookie batter had raw eggs) and he can shoot baskets, run fast, spell his name, and sing a lot of songs. I cried in the car on the way home and Mama had to stop the car 2 times to comfort me. Usually I sleep, but I didn't this time. I don't really like car trips.

My new yellow shirt and vest outfit is from the LaFrenieres! I'm big enough to wear it now!

P.S. Do you think we all have the same Lanning nose??

Waking up at 8AM this morning!

My new plane from Aunt Jen!

4 months already!

Robert is 4 months old today! I am with him every minute of every day and yet the time flies by and he grows up right in front of my eyes!

Uncle Jeremy was a huge help to Jason this weekend. They put new pine needles around our plants and trees. Aunt Jen bought Robert the coolest little airplane toy and a cute outfit. THANK YOU!

Here are some pictures from 12/13, 1/13, 2/13, and 3/13! Can you put them in order??

giggles!!!

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter! We attended a wonderful church service (Robert was perfect!) and invited our neighbors over for dinner. We took a nice walk in the sunny weather and relaxed in the evening. Robert was so much fun today! He's starting to giggle!
