Little Swimmer

Victoria loved her first encounter with the pool. It was so hot in Dallas, that the cool water felt great!

First Father's Day

Victoria is Daddy's little girl as he celebrated his first Father's day. We went to church and then had an afternoon picnic on the Potomac in Old Town.

Packin' and Playin'

We are just about all packed up. Our place is filled with boxes and we are getting crowded out, but Victoria loves all the commotion and is such a super trooper! She is really looking forward to having her very own room and a place to put all her growing toys (instead of in the living room)!

Mama's Lil Helper

Dad's busy finishing up his last few days as a resident, and is away in Baltimore this whole week at a Board review course for the exam coming up in a month! Last week was actually John's formal graduation and we had a great time celebrating.
So... Victoria has been my little helper; packing up the apartment, cooking brain power meals, running all sorts of errands, and helping me get in shape with Baby Boot Camp...





She's not quite big enough for the jumperoo, so we are using Dad's surgery book to give her some leverage...

She loves her pink bear lovey. I wish you could see her smile behind the blanket, but her eyes say it all...

More tummy time...

Cooking in the kitchen...

4 Month Birthday

Happy 4 Month Birthday Queen Victoria! She impressed the doctor at her well check up by meeting all her milestones and babbling through the whole visit - we've got a talker!

Weight: 15 pounds; 77 percentile

Length: 25 inches; 95 percentile

Head: 16 inches; 52 percentile

Like Mother Like Daughter

Victoria likes to suck on just about anything: her fist, her fingers, your fingers, her thumb, a pacifier...anything. I'm not sure what to do about this new habit...

Working on Milestones

Victoria is working on achieving her 3 month milestones: swatting, grabbing, holding, finding her hands, holding her head, and tummy time. Everyday is a new adventure!
