Baby Starts Carrots!

Miss Therese is getting so big. The doctor visit was a success. Our little girl is 16 pounds, 3 ounces. She suggested starting more solids. Daddy and I took a vote and decided on carrots. Miss T loves them! Here's our baby food process and her first taste! Everything 'came out ok' by the way. The last photo is her trying out a biter biscuit. She's not too sure about those yet...

Baby Day at Zoo

Miss Therese has been very busy lately. She's been working on the computer with Mommy and doing lots of rolling over. She invited Daddy and Auntie LN to the Zoo on July 4th weekend. No pictures of the animals; just the baby!

Water Baby

Therese was invited to swim at Auntie Ln's private pool. She was a natural! The two pictures of her on her belly; these are official pictures of 'rolling over'! She's a master. She's also starting to hold her bottle by HERSELF. Such a big girl!

England Visitors!

We were so lucky to have Grandad and Nana B visit us from England. Miss Therese was very busy entertaining her guests. There was so much to do! Grandad had to walk with her often, Nana had to give her a bottle, Therese needed to entertain Grandad on the floor...the list goes on. We had such a special time with them!

Pictured also: Therese's engraved spoon and fork from her grandparents. Their sweet neighbor Breta sent the adorable clothes. Thank you again Breta! And our elusive Mr. Cardinal munching on a strawberry...that pic is posted for Grandad:) We were so glad to have them visit...

Aunt Heather Visit and First Meals...

Miss Therese has been SO busy with all of her visitors. We all really enjoyed Aunt Heather's visit! Aunt Heather came to stay with the Princess after visiting Carrie and Emre and also relatives in Texas. We enjoyed our talks and sitting out on our covered porch in this lovely weather.

Therese has had many 'meals' lately. First she started cereal. She thought the consistency was a bit odd, as seen by her expressions! So far it's staying down great and she's healthy and happy with it. Next on the menu, fingers. Mighty tasty. And for dessert, toesies! Are any of us this flexible?

Keep tuned for more piccies!

More Piccies of Carrie and Emre Visit

Aunt Carrie and Uncle Emre Visit

Miss Therese was soooooooooo excited to meet her Aunt Carrie and Uncle Emre. They came up for a fun trip to the States. We had a lovely dinner together our first evening at home. Then Rob, Carrie and Emre were able to attend the local Cardinal baseball game. Aunt Carrie was a natural, feeding Therese from a bottle at a local restaurant. She will grow up and look just like her!!!

Easter Girl!

Our pretty Therese was the belle of the Easter Ball this past weekend. First she greeted her subjects via webcam. (Puppy Ginger was assisting.) Nana and Grandpa B. viewed her in her "football kit"...(her soccer uniform to the US family) and then she visited with Great Grandma and Uncle Brian via Skype. The pictures turned out great and it was such a delight to share her with everyone. Later she spent the day with the US family in her pretty Easter dress.

Therese received so many nice pressies. Aunt Carol and Uncle Thom gave her a lovely Easter basket, complete with pink ducky! Uncle Jack and Aunt Do gave her a beautiful sundress. Marmy and Grandpa R gave Therese books to read and Nana and Grandpa B sent a pretty summer dress for Easter. Thank you everyone:) These pressies are so, so helpful for our growing little girl!

We are so very excited about upcoming visits! Auntie Carrie and Uncle Emre are arriving this upcoming Sunday. Auntie Heather will be visiting in a few weeks and we hope to see Nana and Grandpa B. very very soon!

Sing-a-long!

Someone found her thumb!

Therese has been making the rounds these past few weeks. She was able to meet lots of the cousins while they were in town. Feeding time was fun with Marmy. Auntie Ln has been over often to visit. It's been so exhausting that she snuggled with Daddy for a nap! It's been a treat watching Therese discover her hand...she looks to suck on something sometimes while she is asleep and has been working on the hand. Today she discovered her thumb! Do we have a thumb sucker in our midst?

Swing Time

Saturday afternoon, time for a rest in the swing!

Bath Time

Therese has been having regular baths in the 'baby' bath. Clean baby! She's getting SO BIG. She's fitting quite nicely into 3 month outfits. The other picture is a way we calm the Princess down...she lays in the seat of the chair with her pacifier and her feet dangling off the edge while Rob rocks the chair...calms her right down!
