Saffryn at 5 months

Happy 25th Birthday to me...and Happy 5 months to my little girl

I had a GREAT birthday weekend. My girlfriend Kendra came to town to visit. We spent a lot of the weekend together. What a fun treat! On Saturday Dan surprised me with a babyless date night!!! It was so fun :) He first took me to a wine bar where I had my first alcholic beverage in over a year. I chose a martini...it was called sassy pants...I have no clue what was in it. We had a little snack and just relaxed and talked. After that he took me to my favorite restaurant...Sumo. We had sushi. YUMMY!!! It was such a fun night. What a wonderful and thoughtful husband I have. Thanks Papa and Gigi for watching the sweet little girl so we could go out!!!!!!

Here is Dan and I at the Wine Bar

Moving on to Saffryn at 5 months. She is such a delight and is growin up so much! I think it is safe to say she is sleeping through the night!!! Last night she fell asleep at 8:15ish and slept until 6:30!!! YAY. I feel like a new woman with all this sleep. She is even putting herself to sleep in the crib. What a good little girl! She is also very interested in cups and food. I think we will give her cereal very soon. She watches us eat and tries to take it from us. We have let her grab our cups and she puts them right to her mouth to drink. It is so funny! I can't believe another month as flown by. I wish I could freeze time, but I know our job as parents is to prepare her for life on her own...but I just want her to stay with us forever. I know it is ridiculous to think this... she is only 5 months, but I am realizing how fast this is going and before I know it she will be leaving for college. Ok enough of that...here are some fun pictures of her at 5 months. Enjoy :)

What a big girl sitting up on her own!!!

She LOVES this toy she got fro Oma and Opa. It dances and sings!!!

Hello sweet baby girl!

Tummy time at 5 months!

Well all this to say life is good. I have a wonderful family. Thanks mom for giving birth to me 25 years ago! I LOVE YOU!

Easter Weekend

CAUTION: This may be a long blog...

So April first rolls around and guess what Saffryn decides to do...SIT UP!!! She sat by herself for several seconds. No it really wasn't an April fools joke. What a great way to start the weekend. Needless to say Dan and I were so proud of our big girl.

This wasn't the actual pictures of her first time sitting up b/c my camera wasn't ready. I was totally caught off guard...but here are some of her doing her new trick :)
She is still really wobbly. If she reaches to the side or lifts her head up she falls over!!

Ok....now on with the weekend. Friday we flew to Denver to spend the weekend with my family. My sister and her fiance picked us up from the airport and drove us down to Colorado Springs. We got to see Grandma Malie, Grandpapa Steve, Oma, Opa and of course Aunt Erydin and Uncle Steve. We got to spend the weekend just watching good movies, playing games and just enjoying each other. We had so much fun!!! My camera pooped out so I only got a few pictures...enjoy!

Saffryn and Erydin

Erydin played the french horn for Saffryn...of course she liked it. Who knows maybe she will be a musical prodigy...hehe!!!

Spending time playing with Grandma Malie. So MUCH FUN!!!!

Who's hand is that...LOL...Papa Steve.

Easter Morning in her dress...She looks like a princess (oh wait she is)!!!! LOL

Anyway the weekend of course had to come to an end. We drove back to the airport with Erydin and Steve and flew home. Saffryn did great on both flights and at the airport!!! Phew so glad. I am so thankful for such a fun and wonderful weekend!!!

Saffryn at 20 weeks

20 weeks seems so old to me!!! WOW. Well here are a few videos of her at 20 weeks.

She was in such a playful mood and laughing a lot, so I thought I would try and get some video of it. Of course as soon as she saw the camera she just started sucking on her hand and staring at the camera...haha!! Oh well, at least you get a glimpse of her sweet giggles.

She is almost constantly on her tummy now. As soon as I lie her down on her back she rolls to her tummy. She is working on getting coordination and strength so she can crawl! What a big girl :)
