I got your nose!

Haven was really hungry last night. I thought that we were feeding her enough, but it looks like she may need more than what we are giving her. It was so funny she saw Terry's nose, grabbed his face and went straight for it. It must have tasted good because she went back again for seconds... and thirds.

Update... about time!

Haven just got an exersaucer and she loves it. She is bouncing, rocking and playing with everything. There are two little people on it and she just laughs and talks at them. It is so fun to watch.

Haven turned 4 months on May 12th. She was in the 50th percentile for both her height and weight. She is 24 inches long and 13 lbs 13 oz. She has grown and changed so much. I love being her mom. It is amazing to watch her grow. She is the sweetest little girl.

I am working three days a week, which is just enough right now. I love going to work and I work with the best people. Although it is not easy to leave Haven the people I work with make it as painless as possible.

Terry is enjoying his work too. He is currently doing a mentorship with the search and rescue team for the next six weeks. It should be fun and challenging for him. This is a great experience for him because he is considering applying for this special team in the fall.

I know the Lord has blessed our lives. I thank Him everyday for the gifts He as given us.

Haven Rolling Over

She did it!

Haven rolled over for the first time last night. She did it three time in a row. It was so unexpected that we had run and grab the video camera. We caught half of the second time and the third time. I can't believe how proud I was of her. This is one of the first major developmental milestones, YEAH!

Let me tell you about my best friend

Baker and Haven are Best Buds

They like to hang out and relax together.

I love my little girl



Baker our oldest dog may be the best dog you could ask for. He is gentle, loving, protective and loyal. He has been so good since Haven came home. He follows me around and always joins me when I go to check on Haven (no matter what time it is). When she cries he goes to check on her and he has even scratched at her crib when he didn't think I was getting there fast enough. While I am changing her diaper he sits or lays at her bedroom door and looks out as if he is protecting us. You can tell that he loves her and has accepted her as part of our "pack." Don't get me wrong, Roxy is good with her too. She sometimes will lay next to me while I am feeding Haven, but she does not have the family pack instinct. Most times she could really care less about Haven. I am sure that will change when Haven starts chasing her around. Then Roxy will be watching very closely for Haven... so that she can run and hide from her.

Our Sugar Butt Lips

Here is Haven's beautiful little smile

Look at that lip! She is not very happy!


My dad use to call me sugar butt lips and I think it was because I had a large bottom lip when I was a baby. I imagine the nickname came because I stuck it out at times. Well it is obvious that Haven looks a lot like me, and it looks like she may have inherited the sugar butt lips too.

Easter

Haven and I came home from Phoenix on Saturday so that we could spend her 1st Easter as a family. She wore a pretty dress and was very good in church. When we got home she opened her Easter basket and after a nap she hunted for Easter eggs. We had a great time and when she is older we can't wait to teach her what Easter really means.
