8 things you might not know about me (Danelle):
1. I'm studying Spanish- I love reading my warning label on my car seat and swing, especially the part in Spanish. (I also try and peel it off every time I see it). Plus my dad loves to talk and sing to me in espanol!
2. I still sleep in my swing- all the time. I know I know I should be using my big beautiful crib that my mom and dad got me, but let's face it, i'm an only child and I always get my way. Plus I think my mom's a little weak- she values her sleep way to much to keep fighting with me to sleep in my crib. Maybe we'll work on it next week... :)
3. I have the world's strongest abs. I can do sit-ups like you wouldn't believe! Just try laying me flat on my back and see what I can do. This is also the reason my mom can't get me to sleep in my crib... see exhibit A below: (it all started with the reflux problem...)
4. I have super long dark eyelashes! It's hard for mom to get a picture that really shows them off the way they truly are, but yeah, I got them so be jealous!
5. I take showers instead of baths.
6. I think our dog Cole is hilarious. Every time I seem him I mysteriously start giggling.
7. I have a mullet. And I make it look good. (mom will post a picture of it later).
8. I always have an "alert" look on my face. That's usually because
I AM alert
all the time. I love to stare at EVERYTHING! You should see me at the store when there are so many things to take in! Compare me to my 1 month photo- I was even alert then!

Aunt Michelle and Cousin Katie
She was sooooo tired by the end of the day, she never sleeps when it's loud but this time she did even with all the music going!
Our friends from Pennsylvania that we got to hang out with! We miss you guys!
Lane frosting the best homemade cinnamon rolls that Grandma makes!
We've gone to the pool a couple times now and the girl loves it! I can't wait to get to Texas and have a pool in our own neighborhood that we can go to all the time!!!
Danelle with Lydia (a girl I babysit sometimes)
I think she's a little confused about being in a swing but outside...
We're trying to plump our little girl up so we started to feed her "baby food"! Even with more nursing the girl is always hungry so we decided to go ahead and start into the solids. I can see why a lot of moms wait till 6 months though- it's such a mess!!! The girl can't get enough though! We tried the rice cereal first and then slowly tried others. So far we've done Bananas and Squash and she really likes both. The second time we were feeding her the rice cereal she cried when it ran out and we stopped feeding her! We had to hurry and make more to keep her happy!!! I'll have to get some video of it next time- it's quite entertaining.
BabySteals is such a great idea. It is a website where you can get quality, name brand baby and maternity products at the best prices on the web. One deal at a time until it's sold out! It's like one of my other favorite websites Woot.com They post something new at 9:00 am MST each day and there is a 3 item limit per person so the wealth can be shared :) If you live in the SLC area you can do a local pickup and save on shipping. Plus they do "Baby Showers" every so often where they do several items all in the same day! I bought a Signing Time Video for $4 off it on Friday! Check it out any of you moms out there!

Don't we all just love spring! After being inside with a newborn all winter I must say I'm really ready for spring! Hopefully we'll get to enjoy it for a little while before we jump into a Texas summer!
Thanks to the amazing spring weather, we've been having so much fun meeting with dad for lunches!! Danelle loves going to the duck pond by Lane's work and watching all the ducks hang around us.
