Daddy's Girl

Kevin and I are really good about splitting baby duties 50/50, but lately I have had a lot going on, and I feel like he has been doing a lot more than me. Well, in my absence, Helen has become quite the Daddy's girl. She loves Kevin. I mean, she thinks I'm funny, but she thinks he is hilarious! If they are sitting together on the couch and he is looking at his computer, she will just stare at him. Ha! I've got to come up with some new tricks!

SMTTT!

So on Saturday we took Helen to her first USM game. Kevin's whole family was going, so we figured it would be a great opportunity to take her (not to mention let her watch her Uncle Ben's school lose to the CUSA, since his favorite team is too scared to play us). We had a great time, although it was HOT. I mean H-O-T-T (you can tell by my nasty fro below). I don't think Helen fussed once, though. There were adults there fussing more than she did! (Myself included.) I even saw some of those crazy girls who wear heels to football games carrying on because of the muddy tailgating situation. If y'all ever see me in heels at a football game, call the cops 'cause I've been doing drugs. Okaaay!?
We stayed the entire game...the first time I think we've ever done that. Kevin and I agreed that if we can take her to a loud, crowded, burning up stadium, we can take that girl anywhere.

Finally!

Well, after trying a few types of fruits & veggies, we've finally got a winner. Helen loves sweet potatoes! I hate sweet potatoes! With all the foods we've tried so far, she has just kind of been like whatever. She always pulled the spoon into her mouth, but I think it was just to gnaw on it. With the sweet potatoes, girl was going to town. Thank goodness. I thought I was doing something wrong for awhile there. Especially because everyday at daycare the ladies say, "She is such a good eater!" :/

I'm a blog slacker, but at least I have a cute baby!

I know, I have been away too long...again. My apologies. Especially to my mother (the only one who cares!)
Anyway, we have been doing a lot lately. Helen is now 4 1/2 months old, and getting bigger by the second! At her 4 month appointment she weighed in at 15.3 lbs and just about 25 inches long. (Her head is also in the 90% percentile...Kevin was so proud.) About a week after that we started her on cereal. Yeah, she hates it. I can't blame her, have any of you tasted that stuff? Terrible. I have let the daycare ladies take over that duty, since she seems to eat it better in the late mornings. She is loving tummy time these days, and also wants to sit up all the time, too. She's not a little baby anymore!
Here are some recent pics that I owe you.
