15wks and Turning Over!!!

Today you are 15wks, and you know what you did this morning!?!?!? You rolled over from your back to your right side and almost completly on your belly!!!!!! In my baby book, I didn't even do that until 8mo!!!!!!! You are so advanced!! :)

I took you to the mall today and we had a girl's day!! We bought you clothes...we bought me clothes and make up...had lunch together at Cheesecake Factory, and then came home to relax!!! Now we're waiting for daddy to get home from work so we can all go out to dinner together!!!

14 Wks - Baby Naming & Father's Day

Well, you've entered into your 14th week of life...ALMOST 15wks! During your 14th week of life, you had your Hebrew baby naming, and celebrated daddy's 1st Father's Day!!

All of your Grandparents came in for your naming, even your Great Grandmother, Helene!! Clearly you were dressed to impress all weekend!!! At your naming, you listened so attentively to Rabbi Kamrass. It was almost like you knew what he was saying, or at least appeared to be interested.
We have the audio version of your naming on CD in case you ever want to listen to it. It was such a beautiful ceremony! Your Hebrew name is Tova Liora, and you are named for: Toby Rosen (mommy's grandmother); Lawrence Luterman (mommy's grandfather), Loretta Rogers (daddy's great grandmother) and Rae Cohen(daddy's great grandmother).

On Sunday, we celebrated daddy's 1st Father's Day with brunch at The Hilton. You slept through the whole thing! You know what we got daddy??? An IPAD!!!! You know what??? You love the IPAD, too!! Daddy downloaded the
Baby Einstein application and he plays videos for you. You just stare at the screen. It's so funny.

13 Wks!!!

So, you're 13wks!!! I can't believe it!! You're starting to really smile on command, and ALMOST giggle...you kind of make a giggling sound, but I don't know if it's full blown laughing yet...can't wait for that to happen!!!

Your grandparents (mommy and daddy's parents) AND Great Grandmother Helene are coming into town this weekend for your baby naming! I can't wait for you to see them!!! Clearly there will be Kodak moments!! It's also daddy's 1st Father's Day!! We have lots of special gifts for him!!!!

Mommy's At Work

This week (week of 6/7/10), I had to go back to work! :( I miss you to pieces little girl, but I know that you're in good hands. You're staying with my friend, Michelle, and her 2 girls, Izabella & Milena. Today is the 3rd day that you've been to Michelle's house and so far, all good reports!!! Being back at work doesn't feel right to me. Being at home feels better, but I need to work to make money so that you have everything you could ever want or need!! I never want you to go without...EVER!!

One more day of work and then it's Hailey and Mommy time!!!!!!!! I think we'll go to St. Elizabeth on Fri to get a weight check. You should be over 12lbs now.

Okay, back to work I go...

Out for an Evening (without you)

So, daddy and I went to our neighbor's wedding tonight, and left you at a neighbor's house (Donna/Keith). As much fun as we had, and as much fun as it sounded like you had, I never want to leave you again!! We checked in with Donna SOOO many times, and she said that you were kicking your leggies and smiling all night. When we picked you up, you were hysterical and remained that way for about 20 min. I got really upset and started crying. I'm worried that you don't know who daddy and I are anymore. I want to quit my job and stay home with you forever.

If only...........

We love you so much!

See you in the morning!!!

Today You are 12 Wks. Old!!!

Today (6/4), you are 12wks old!!! I just cannot believe how the time has flown.

I have to go back to work on 6/7 for the first time since having you. It will be a rough day/week for mommy, but you'll be staying with Auntie Michelle, and playing with her girls, Izabella & Milena! She is going to take GREAT care of you while I'm at work. I have to go back to work to support the shopping habit you and I have developed. Speaking of...let's go!! :)

Grandma's Surprise Party & the Trip Home

On Sat. (5/29), we took you to Grandma's surprise birthday party!!! Grandma Betsy had bought you the most beautiful pink/black party dress,
which of course is how I got the idea to have Grandma's party theme - pink/black/white.


You met so many new people today including Cousins: Marni Gliklich, Nathan Gliklich, Sean Hyberg, Rob Hyberg, and Stephanie Ross. Great Aunts: Dale Gliklich, Enid Hyberg, Rheta Rosen, and Aunt Neety. Great Uncles: Lars Hyberg & Bernard Rosen. You also got to meet a lot of Grandma's (my mommy) friends, like Merle, Michelle, Alyson & Charlotte. You met so many new people...AND, you behaved so well! I was a little nervous because so many people were handling you that day, but you did not make a peep!!!!

After the party, Grandma Betsy and Grandpa Marc; Great Aunt Een, Great Uncle Lars and cousins, Sean & Rob; and Great Aunt Rheta and Great Uncle Bunny (Bernard) came back to the house. You slept for most of that, but woke up an hour or so later because you were hungry.

That night, we took you to dinner at Charlie Brown's. I have been so forgetful lately that I forgot your bottle. Grandma drove back to the house to get it, but luckily, you slept the entire time and we didn't even need the bottles afterall.

Sun. (5/30), we went shopping with Grandma Andi, Aunt Heather, Grandma Betsy & Great Aunt Dale
. Daddy, Grandpa Howard & Grandpa Marc went to the Yankees game. Because it's such a long drive home, we decided to leave Sunday. We stayed over in Carlisle, PA.

Today (5/31), we arrived home after a VERY long drive. We agreed never to do that drive again - gotta save up for plane tickets now!! You know what, though? You did so well on the drive. You just slept and occasionally would wake up a little fussy, but that's it!
