Camping, Boyfriends, You Name It...Life @ 16 Weeks

What an eventful week! We started off last weeking with Rose's first camping trip, had friends over all week and tomorrow, we are going to Florence to see Pops and Lou Lou (Blake's parents) and meet the rest of Blake's family. We can't wait!!! Here are some pictures of our fun week :)

We went camping last weekend with the family and Rose loved it! We didn't rough it out at night, but sorda did during the day.

Rose's first jeans outfit for the outdoors. Isn't she cute?


She is starting to throw her paci, pick it up and fumble it into her mouth. I am especially glad at the progress as it means I won't have to get up in the middle of night because of a MIA paci.


Rose also liked playing on the blow-up mattress. She is getting really good @ tummy time!


Ohhh bathtime...what is a girl to do? She loved the sink - I had some contamination / OCD issues with the bathtub so I decided to sterilize the sink and plop her in. She loved it!


Of course, Aunt Susan taught Rose how to play strategic games. You can see how well Rose is concentrating at playing (or putting them in her mouth).




She loved spending time with her Gigi (or Great Grandma Whitaker). Here there are reading the cabin instructions together.



Naptime in the tent...yes she's on a blow-up mattress. Do you expect anything less from her Jama?


She was changed on a table - I realize this isn't 100% princess treatment, but it's better than the floor or ground!


Friends and fun at our house:

Our neighbor, Paula, is working on perfecting her photography skills and is hoping to start her own business. She took some shots of Rose - here is a sneak peak of our cutie. (Thanks, Paula).


Could it be that she is so cute the boys are flocking to her already? Her daddy hopes not. Our neighbor, Corey, is trying to impress her early by courting her with playtime and hand-holding. Isn't he a cutie too?


Then there's playtime with the boys. We have to teach her to be a strong woman! Here she is with Corey (10 weeks old).


This child is not spoiled at all. She is pretty much held most of the time. Here she is with our friends / neighbors. Paula is holding Rose, Melissa is holding Paula's son, Corey (another one of Rose's future boyfriends).


We had some friends over this week. This is Jeremiah, one of Rose's many future boyfriends. He is 2 and is quite a cutie. He was helping her to properly bounce in her bouncey swing - what a lil gentleman :) (Special thanks to Gigi for the cute hat).
He also was "Rose's first kiss" but I couldn't get any pics of it :(


Rose is such a happy baby (now). She smiles all the time and rarely fusses (I hope I am not jinxing myself). She is so much fun - we are really enjoying watching her grow.




Oh the sleeping shots...my fave.


She is getting so strong. Here is she is "dancing". She loves standing up, especially when there is an audience.


Hope ya'll had a good week as well!
