[Whitney] New best friends

Whitney got to meet two babies who were born recently, and whom she will be fast friends with! Our friends Stephanie & Don had Cora Dawn on June 5th, and Whitney got to meet her this weekend:

Cora and Whitney will be together three days a week because Don's mom, Debbie, will be watching both girls. In a few years they'll also go to school together! Stephanie and Wes work together at Fairmont, so the girls will literally grow up together! We couldn't be more excited! Our dogs are already best friends, so now our girls will be, too!

Speaking of best friends, Wes' best friend Sean and his wife Kate welcomed their fourth child, Olivia Reagan on June 10th. Wes has been to visit each of their kids in the hospital after they're born, and Olivia was no exception! We even got to bring Whitney in to meet her, too. We had to laugh at the fact that both girls strongly resemble their Daddies!

Welcome to the world, Cora and Olivia! We look forward to many fun play dates!

[Whitney] Shoes!

Whitney went to 8th grade promotion at Wes' school this week, so we got her all dressed up... including some cute white sandals! This is the first time she's worn them, and she was very interested in checking out her feet. I couldn't capture a good picture because she was moving her feet so much, so I grabbed a quick video:

[Whitney] Rolling over!

Our little girl is ROLLING OVER! We were doing some tummy time, and she went from her tummy to her back all on her own! I had her propped up on a little pillow the first time she did it, and then she still did it with the pillow away and starting from the floor!! With the pillow propping her up to start:

And no pillow to start her off:

She's so strong! And growing up so fast! I'm so proud! <3

[Whitney] Three months old!

Three Month Milestones

• Sucking on her fingers - it appears they are delicious!

   

• Laughter! It's not full on belly laughs yet, but she's starting to giggle here and there, and it's the cutest thing! Sometimes they're more like squeals, and it's hilarious!
• Tears! I never knew that babies weren't born with tears until we had her! We asked the pediatrician and he said they start having tears around three months, and we've noticed some tears forming, and she had one big crocodile tear last weekend!
• Drool! She is a drool monster! It covers her clothes some days! At first I was worried this meant she was teething already (Wes got his first tooth at 2.5 months!!!), but all signs point to this being developmentally right on track - lots of drool, and fingers (or anything) in her mouth!

• Favorites:
• Playing on the mat - we have concentrated "play" time between naps during the day, and she's really enjoying being on her mat. She grabs at toys and will hold on to them and check them out.
• Firsts:
• Plane ride!
• Trip to the beach - and second trip... twice in the same weekend!
• Wearing shoes... of course, the sparkly ones :)



• Size:
• Diapers - comfortably in a size 1
• Clothes - Grown out of the newborn and most 0-3 month onesies, but the pants still fit in the waist... they just look like capri pants (welcome to mommy's world!!); 3 month size stuff fits comfortably with room to grow.
• Weight: 12 pounds, 1 ounce on June 1

Happy baby next to the elephant - check out her feet in the air!

Not so happy baby... had to post it, too funny!

Whitney spent the day with Grandma Patty & Papa because mommy had to work! We had an event in the afternoon, so I got to hang out in the morning with her (my favorite time... she's so happy and content!). So excited for what month four will bring!
