Life is marching on...

This last month has been busy!

I started working a couple days a week, Dallas had a birthday, and Spaz has gotten chubby.
These are some pictures of Spaz from my Camera phone. The quality isn't great but they are easy to send to Dallas on the go!

She collapsed her toy on herself with her feet.

She likes to sprawl when she sleeps...

I look so cute in my blue outfit, very patriotic!

Reading the newspaper with mom...mostly I think its fun to listen to it rattle!

First taste of apple..mmmm!

I discovered my feet and love to play with them!

I love my bath time but I hate getting dressed afterward...brrrr!

Love my cute dress!

We gave Spaz her first taste of (pseudo)solid food yesterday, rice cereal! I'm not sure if she likes the food or the attention more...


Every time Natalie would try and give her a spoonful, she'd immediately stick her hands in her mouth, so not only are we battling Spaz to get the food in the mouth, we're having to keep the food in her mouth and her hands out of it!

All done!

Spaz

We can't get these pictures rotated but they're still cute!

We finally had our appointment with the Geneticist.
Spaz is 3months old.
She is 13lbs, in the 50th percentile in weight and 75th percentile for height.

She has a Metabolic Disorder that results in a low carnitine level. Carnitine is a chemical that is used to transport food in and out of the mitochondria which make energy.
The doctor told us that as long as she is supplemented with carnitine she will live a normal life.

Crazy that it took us 3months to find out that simple statement. This is usually a minor problem, and she won't be affected by it much, if at all.

For now, she's growing like a weed, and has recently found her voice. She'll coo and sing to us all day long as long as we're there to sing and coo back to her.

She's a Converse AllStar!!

Going out on a Saturday!

Thanks cousin Joy for the awesome shoes!!

Ready for Christmas, playing under the Christmas tree.

My really good friend Mara had her little girl a few weeks before me.
We both had girls.
Aren't they adorable.

Gingerbread Houses

Christmas season is here!

i built Rapunzel's tower

Dallas's inspiration came from our recent trip to Washington DC.
I think it looks pretty good until it collapsed a few minutes later.

White House

She is starting to get really interactive and alert!

Isn't she cute!!
This is the end of a very cute smile :-)

Maryland Trip

Spaz and I accompanied Dallas on a business trip to Baltimore, Maryland.
We stayed a couple extra days and did some sightseeing around Washington DC!
It was cold so you don't see much of Spaz she is cuddled warm in her carseat.

Washington Monument

Lincoln Monument

We walked up to the Washington Monument but it was so cold and windy we left a few seconds later. This is a picture of Dallas running back to the warm car.
