Guess who is four months old today??? The past few months have just flown by but I already can’t remember life without my daughter and I am still not used to saying “my daughter”.?? 🙂

At four months she is:

*?? Still sleeping through the night most of the time though this week she has wanted a bottle at 6:00 AM but then she goes back to sleep.

*?? Eating 4 ounces every 2 to 3 hours.

*?? NOT rolling over.?? 🙂

*?? Beginning to like to hold toys

*?? Beginning to giggle

She hold her head up like a pro but she has done this since birth.

Could she be any cuter??? 🙂

Late Sunday night we returned from a 5 day camping trip.?? We left last Wed night and drove up North to the Potato Lake/Blue Ridge area.?? We had a wonderful time and can you believe we braved it with a 3 month old baby??? She did awesome!?? We borrowed Papa and Sweetie’s trailer for the trip and it worked out nicely…except for one little incident.

We left really really late on Wed and found ourselves heading up the mountain at 1:00 AM.?? We were also borrowing Papa’s diesel so we could put the quad in the back and still pull a trailer.?? As we ascending up the hill, out of cell phone range (important point), an oil line breaks on Dad’s truck and we are forced to stop.?? The good news was we had all we needed to keep us warm, clothed, fed…just moved the kids to the trailer and turned the generator on.?? The bad news was it was cold, we were out of cell range, it was the middle of the night, AND we couldn’t park but a few feet off the highway!?? THAT is what had me scared.?? Ty started crying when Daddy left on his walk to try to get cell service.?? He tends to be more sensitive that way.?? Jim climbed a nearby hill and woke Papa up.?? By 4:00 AM Papa and Uncle Dusty arrived.?? Papa is our hero – he just lives on that white horse – ask anybody.?? Dusty is much like Dad and he is also at the top of my list in crisis situations.?? Papa called Daniel in the middle of the night and asked to borrow their truck for us and I am convinced Daniel must have still been half asleep because he gave Papa his BRAND NEW chevy truck.?? That truck is so sweet – Jim and I had too much fun with it and the boys were very glad that Uncle Daniel left “Real Dan In Life” in the car (as Ty calls it).?? We didn’t leave that spot until 7:30 AM so Jim and I were dead tired on camping Day 1 but we re-engergized quick enough.?? Helps when we have three kids who will sleep until 9:00 or 10:00 AM even camping.?? :)?? We ARE blessed!

I have lots of camping pictures that I love to post but right now I am in the middle of finishing post processing work for Amanda and I am shooting a friends wedding on Saturday (I know I SWORE I would never do this again yet here I am….LOL).?? Please pray for me on Saturday if you think of it!??:)?? That to say,??I need to prioritize some other projects so I’ll have to just keep posting pictures from this collection for a bit longer.

And Ty is doing much better!?? Hopefully he doesn’t get the residual flu like Tanner and I both did.?? Also, Jarrod was officially diagnosed with viral meningitas and should be leaving the hospital today.?? We are thankful for this diagnosis considering all that it could have been.

Tori has her 4 month shots today and she is bound to be one angry little girl over that.?? Yes Susie, I will drug her first this time.?? :)?? Not looking forward to that.

I cut Ty’s hair??last week??ALL BY MYSELF – not hard considering he looks best in a “military” cut.?? I had to leave Tanner’s alone though.?? I hate to cut too much of that glorious hair off.
