Betsy & Her Swing

Betsy absolutely loves her swing from Momma Lady. When we put her in it she looks up at the mobile and smiles and giggles. Check out Betsy having a blast:

Back to Work for Daddy

Having Peter home for four days in a row was so wonderful. Betsy and I were both out of sorts today since he wasn't around. Betsy cried most of the day--I guess she really missed her Daddy!

Happy Thanksgiving

Betsy enjoyed her first visit to Vacherie yesterday and had a wonderful first Thanksgiving. Today she watched football with Daddy and Uncle Beau. I, of course, took many, many photos. Here are a few:

Ouch!

Poor little boo had her 8 week shots yesterday and it was utterly heartbreaking. When Betsy started crying I had to cry too! Luckily Momma Lady spent the day comforting her and making everything better.

Today we had Snuggles and Struggles and learned lots of neat things and met even more babies and mommies. Then Beth and Walker came over and had lunch and we walked at Audubon Park. It was so cold so little B was all snuggled up in her big pink blanket. Now she is passed out. It was quite a day!

Last week we hit the mall for the first time and Betsy met Lauren. Betsy usually loves riding in her stroller, but she wasn't too thrilled with the fact that we were stopping constantly. Overall she was quite a trooper though!

Here are some pics from last week and the weekend.

Out and About

Yesterday we went to visit Jama and Pa and they couldn't believe how much Betsy has grown. Today we went to Snuggles and Struggles at Children's Hospital. Betsy was fascinated by all of the babies there, especially Walker Gearheard (Beth's baby)--they even held hands. I forgot my camera so I didn't catch it, but Beth may have captured the moment. After S and S we went to Whole Foods for lunch. Betsy had a blast!

Betsy Loves PJ's and Her Aunties

Betsy is now sleeping in her crib and is sleeping so much better--her Mommy and Daddy are thrilled! This weekend Betsy had her first shopping experience; we went to Scriptura and Little Laughter with Aunt Attie. Saturday night Aunt Katie and Uncle Peter came over to watch the LSU game.

Last week we were spoiled because we spent nearly every day with Aunt Attie. Betsy has spent lots of time walking to and sitting outside of PJ's and she loves it. Next week Attie starts her new job and no more morning coffee and afternoon coffee walks. Booooo!!!

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

9 Pounder

Betsy went to see Uncle Tommy yesterday and she now weighs 9 pounds!!! She has outgrown her tiny clothes and now can fit into the many, many outfits that fill her closet. Today was a big day because a photographer came over to take pictures of little B. She was good most of the time, but by the third wardrobe change she was over it. Next week she can finally go out in public so we have a full week planned. We're both really excited!!!

Growing Up Fast

Over the past few days Betsy has debuted some new tricks: pulling my hair, holding a rattle, and lifting her head up for several seconds. We are so proud! Last night she slept in her crib. She slept pretty well (at one point she slept for 2 hours in a row!), but I was mesmerized by her baby monitor. We have a lot to do this week: two dr. appointments for Betsy and a photographer is coming over on Thursday to take pics of B.

Busy Week

Betsy and I have had quite a week. Poor little thing was not feeling well on Sunday and Monday, but she's fine now. We went to see Uncle Tommy on Halloween and he made everything all better. On Halloween night Marme, Aunt Attie, Uncle Beau, Aunt Katie, Uncle Peter, and Julie came over to see the world's tiniest cheetah. Yesterday Betsy and I went to visit Jama and Pa--it was her first outing that did not involve a doctor's office! Today Momma Lady spent the day with us and we had a lovely time and Betsy was on her best behavior. Here are some pictures from our week.
