Our Beautiful Little 3 Month Old

Mommy and Daddy had to return to work the end of August, so Greta started daycare. Luckily, Oma came to help with the transition. Mommy was pretty spoiled having supper made and getting to see Greta at lunch time. Greta's already making lots of friends at daycare. She likes to have tummy time and visit with baby Kylie and always has a big smile for Cody. Mommy thinks she has a little crush on Cody. Daddy wasn't too thrilled to hear this and said Greta can't date until she's 37!


Beautiful girl.


Mommy couldn't resist this outfit as Greta is our little "Sweet Cheeks."


Sleeping beauty. There was a mishap with the crib sheets, so Greta got to sleep in the big bed, and she loved it!

Greta in Mommy's bonnet. Mommy must have worn it when she was a little younger:)

Greta ready for church in her big girl tights and fancy shoes from Auntie Holly.

Greta in her ribbed turtleneck and leggings from Oma. She's really starting to like to play with her rings. She can hold them and bring them to her mouth.

Our sweetheart. She slept through the night on her 3 month birthday (8:15-6:30). Yeah for Mommy and Daddy!

Oma had some fun playing dress-up the last time she was visiting.

Those cheeks!

Long and lean. Look at those leggers!

Our little angel!

Bumbo girl.

Fun with the Gillespies

Auntie Jessica came to visit and meet Greta for the first time a couple weekends ago. She also helped Daddy and Mommy finish the yard. Luckily, Gramma Gillespie was there to help babysit. Thanks for all your help!

Date Day

Mommy and Daddy went on a date a couple weekends ago with friends, Andy and Ashley, to Target Field to watch the Twins play. Greta had her first babysitters (Oma and Opa) for any length of time. Everybody had a fun time.

Thanks cousin Henry for the Twins onesie. Twins are #1 (or #2 according to Greta)!

All smiles after her bath.

I don't care what Opa says, white girls can pull off wearing orange.

Exercising princess. Greta has started to complete some intense arm and leg exercises. Her eyes get very big, and she is very serious about her "workouts."

This sweater was Oma's and her sisters when she was a baby.

Two Months Old

Unfortunately Mommy has not been the best about bringing her camera places, but I do have a few pictures to share. Greta has been very busy with play dates lately. Last week she met Elena, Maia, and Nate and last night she got to play with her friend Isaac and met two new little boys, Drew and Noah. She's starting to have more of an interest in other kids and likes to smile at them.


Daddy has banned the headbands! As you can see the last time Mommy put a cute pink headband on Greta it left a red mark on her forehead. Mommy's still contemplating stretching them out to make them work.


Greta went to her first wedding and dance in Jamestown last weekend. Of course the party animal loved the music and people and was up until midnight with all the excitement.


Mommy and Greta attended an infant massage class last Wednesday, so we've been practicing the techniques. As you can see Greta likes to have her little legs rubbed.

Baptized at Last

The Grandmas can now rest easy because Greta was baptized on August 1st. It was a nice ceremony after mass on Sunday, followed by brunch at a local restaurant. We were so happy to have family from both sides come to celebrate. We are so blessed to come from such loving families. Greta is lucky she has such wonderful people in her life.


Cousin Henry got to have a sleep over at Greta's house.


"Kissin' Cousins"


LorRae, Logan, and Greta. How fun it was to have all the cousins together.

Greta in her baptismal gown. The gown was made by Great Grandma Krump, and Mommy wore it when she was baptized.

"And I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Greta and her Godparents. Unfortunately Godmother Kathryn couldn't make it as she was in Europe.

Greta and her cake. Mommy asked for a baptismal cake and it said, "Welcome to our world, Greta." We didn't quite get it.

Mommy found a great deal on a Bumbo (only $15 at Wal-Mart) today!

Greta in her hat ready to go see Daddy's work in the yard. It was very windy today. Daddy's been working hard building a deck and landscaping, while Mommy and Greta have been busy playing.

Can you resist those cheeks?

This is a picture from last weekend, but I couldn't resist putting it on the blog. How many Old Papas would get on the floor to play with their Great Granddaughter...too precious!
