Catching up...
I'm trying to remember where I left off...We enjoyed celebrating St. Patricks Day by having my family and some friends over. We had Will's green pina coladas, and some other fun green food. Keely wore her St. Patty's day outfit her great aunt Patty sent her. My Grandma came into town for her quarterly stay with my parents (she lives with my parents 3 mos on 3 mos off). It was sooo fun to have her come and finally meet Keely!! She is a proud GREAT grandma. Since my sister and mom watch Keely while I work, they get to spend quite a bit of time together. Keely's fun new thing for 3 mos was laughing. We were giving her a bath and I decided to take a picture to show how much she is growing. All of a sudden she burst into a huge belly laugh. Of course Will and I then started laughing and we all sat there laughing for a good few minutes. We love her little laugh, such a sweet sound! Work has been staying busy for me, which is great. Will is still getting used to his new role at work, but enjoying the challenge (and not traveling as much!!!) Keely at 4 months has blossomed into a sweet little girl...it seems like we are seeing more and more of her little personality. She is now laughing alot, talking alot, sitting up for short periods of time, and rolling over like a champ (which now makes her a tummy sleeper). At her 4 month appointment she weighed 15.5 pounds (in the 92%tile) and was 26 inches long (in the 96 %tile). So she is still growing strong. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Will's family and Keely wore her little "mexicana" dress:). Then we watched the Mavericks lose unfortunately. We are still a family of Mavs fans. Though its not looking too good this season. This past Sunday I enjoyed my first official mother's day. Will and Keely bought me a "mom" necklace and a gc for a mani/ pedi (= alone time). We dedicated Keely at church (such a special time) and then celebrated with family at lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. It was so special to have my grandma there. We are about to take our first little road trip with Keely to see my brother graduate. Fortunately Waco isn't too far so I think she will be great! It will be our first night out of the house (our safe little bubble) since she was born...so we will see how much stuff we will have to cram into the car to make the hotel baby ready:). We are looking forward to a fun summer at the pool:)....I cant wait to take her swimming!!! I will post pictures of the events I wrote about soon:). ~Blessings~
