Catching Up

Who would have thought that there would be a time busier than right after Dublin was born!! This month has been so hectic that I had no time to update Dublin's blog. I have tried to update all the things that have happened since Thanksgiving, so if you have a minute, read on until it looks familiar.

Happy December!!!

A Very Happy Half Birthday!!!


Dublin is now 6 months old. She has really come into her own these last few weeks, too!! She puts everything in her mouth...she is sitting with assistance (and for about 5 seconds without assistance)...she found her tongue...she stands holding onto our hands...she LOVES bouncing (while standing)...she watches everything---you can almost see her taking it all in and learning...it is absolutely amazing to witness! 

Baby's First Christmas





Visiting






There are many, many wonderful pictures from Auntie Erin's and Nana & Papa's visit this December. These are just a select few---view them all in her Sixth Month Pictures link.

Poor Sick 5 Month Old...

Dublin was sick for the first time over the Thanksgiving holiday.

She had fever from Friday until Sunday. She was a trooper.

She was so sad and congested. It took all her energy to cry and cough.

 She is 5 months old today! We will post some more cheerful pictures to commemorate her 5 month milestone when she is feeling more like herself.

Look What a Little Time Can Do...



It's amazing the change from 1 week to 4 1/2 months!
Dublin wore the same hat she came home from the hospital in the other day. She barely fit in it then (too big)---and she barely fits in it now (too small)!!!

Rockin' and Rollin' Over


Although we have been practicing this for weeks, this was probably just an accidental move....BUT we are counting this as her first time to roll over. She rolled from her back to her tummy.

Our Sweet Pea is Growing...

Dublin turned 4 months old on Thursday. She has had a very busy week!

 On Wednesday, she went to the doctor and had her shots. She handled them very well----just sleepy and a little fussy like last time. She is now 12 pounds, 3.5 ounces; 24 inches long; and her head is 16 inches around. She has almost doubled her birth weight!!! 
Thursday she had her very first Fall Festival. She brought home a cookie and a paper bag pumpkin for Mama & Daddy. 

She rode in her school's character parade in her sweet pea costume. They promised us pictures, so I will post them as soon as I get them. 

We dressed up as a farmer and her pea pod. 

Dublin didn't make it long for handing out candy---She was asleep before the doorbell even rang!  She loves her evening nap. She woke up to eat then back to bed. There are photos posted of her very happy first halloween!
