4 months

2/24/09

MVP is 4 months old today! She is such a fun and bright little girl...she can hold her head up now of course and she is taking interest in her toys and will sit and pay attention to having a book read to her. (Just one and then she's done with it!) She loves music and her Yo Gabba Gabba! show and she gets her little legs kicking faster and faster! She laughs a lot and as a friend recently witnessed, I will do embarrassing things just to hear the music of her laughter! Patrick spends a great deal of time saying "Da-Da" over and over again in the hopes that it will be her first word. :-)

Our Little Valentine

Valentine's Day was extra special this year because it marked the one year anniversary of Margaux's creation at FCI. I said it before and I will say it again, it is AMAZING how much more your life can be blessed in the span of just one year! We recently had her three month photos taken at JC Penney and while we got a few good shots, we weren't really impressed. So this time, our good friend Dale and photographer extraordinaire did a photo session with her. It was a nice afternoon spent visiting with he and Bex and Margaux was able to relax and have pictures taken at her own pace. The result was a ton of gorgeous pictures and if you go to the link posted on the right you will see a handful of our favorites! Thanks for your expertise Dale and thanks Margaux for your incredible cuteness! ;-)

Yo Gabba Gabba!

Foofa

When we need to get things done around the house we put Margaux in her bouncy and she will watch her Baby Einstein dvds or this show on Nick that Patrick discovered called Yo Gabba Gabba! She LOVES it! She gets especially excited and screeches and kicks her little legs when this character called Foofa comes on. She has a really cutesy girlie voice that Margaux just loves. I will have to try and get her watching on video. :-)

3-Month Appointment

I took Margaux to her 3-Month appointment with DrG this past Monday and it went very well. She hit all of the milestone markers perfectly and she now weighs 14 pounds 2 ounces (81%) and measures 24 3/4 inches long (86%). The poor little thing had to endure 3 shots, but she handled it quite well I thought! I still need to scan her recent photos that we had taken and post them. We are also having our friend Dale take some pictures on Valentine's Day as it was exactly one year ago on February 14th that she was created at FCI! Amazing how much more blessed life can be in just the span of one year.
