Three Months Old

I am officially three months old, and I now weigh 12 pounds 4 ounces and I am 24.5 inches long. I am having so much fun, I love being me:

I also love sitting up in my Bumbo

And sitting at the dinner table in my high chair

And holding my head up

And playing outside in my Bounce, Bounce

Scarlett attends her first wedding

Congratulations Liz, Phillip and the Brown-Rice Family!

It is a beautiful thing to see two people who love each other so much take the next step in their lives so that they can announce their love to the world, and be bound together for the rest of their lives!

Scarlett and I at the wedding.

I wear my sunglasses at night . . .

Okay, so it wasn't nighttime, but the picture just makes me sing that song. Scarlett wears her first pair of sunglasses, aren't they so cute? Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Miki :)

Bottle Feeding Battle

Scarlett as you can see by her pictures is a good little eater and hasn't had trouble gaining weight, but the bottle feeding has been a bit of a challenge. Thanks to Scarlett's Number One Dad, the challenge has gotten a lot easier, but here is an adorable melt down while still working on Mastering the Art of Bottle Feeding:

Scarlett is the Star of Mommy's Blog

So my mom and I found this bib a month ago or so and thought it was too cute, and it fit so perfectly, I had to have it!

It has been brought to my attention that I haven't updated the blog in a couple of weeks, so here is the update. Scarlett has been growing like a weed, she is becoming more social and has been having a hard time napping, I'm pretty sure she thinks that she might miss something. This can make her a little cranky, so she is a little more fussy than before, but once she gets hr nap, she wakes up with her gummy smiles that we cannot get enough of. Here area couple of those that I caught on film

Big Girl Beds and Tears

The big girl bed . . . . . . was Scarlett's.

The tears . . . . . . . . were Mommy's.

So our little peanut is growing up!

Scarlett had her two month birthday this week. This meant her two month check-up as well, which I was dreading a bit because I wasn't sure that I really wanted to know how much she weighed now. She came in at 11 pounds 4 ounces, 23.5 inches and she is just slightly above average for weight and length. She is a growing girl and is meeting all of the milestones that the doctor would like to see.

Jason and I had been planning to move her to her crib this weekend since it's a long weekend and would give us an extra day in case Scarlett had trouble with the adjustment. We should have known that this wouldn't even phase our little sleeping beauty, she has been quite the sleeper since day one. She did great in her big girl crib, mom didn't take as well though. I just can't help but get overwhelmed with emotions when I think about how quickly she is growing up.

Here she is in her own room in her crib. Enjoy!

Scarlett's First Mariner Game

We didn't think that we would take Scarlett to her first Mariners Game until next season, since she is still so little, but considering that the Mariners haven't been doing so well and that it was a late weekday game, we thought it wouldn't be too loud or too crowded, so we decided to take Scarlett to her first Mariners Game.

We of course didn't make it to see the opening pitch because, well, we have a baby and she decides when she eats. We also had to stop by the family restroom before making it to our seats, and this is when we heard that Felix had already given up two runs in the top of the first inning, that's right, before we even made it to our seats.

We spent most of the game walking the stadium since Scarlett likes to move. We had a great time and Scarlett got a certificate commemorating her first Mariners Game. Her are some of the pictures, enjoy!

Scarlett's First Statement:

Rompy Days

Scarlett has officially outgrown her Newborn clothes, and is now into her 3 month clothes. It is sad to think how quickly she is growing, I wish I could slow down time, but her new summertime clothes are so cute!!! So I am totally obsessed with Rompers! The weather has not been cooperating very well lately but the slightest hint of sun and it is "Rompy Day" at the Stanton house, here's what it looks like :)

My First Mother's Day

We had been waiting so long for our little baby, so this Mother's Day was very special to me! It could not feel better to be able to spend the day with my beautiful girl.

My First Easter

Living the Good Life

Wow, the time has been flying by! I know it's been way too long since my last post, but I will get back to blogging more often.

So the last 7 weeks have been the best of Jason's and my life. We are amazed every day at how beautiful and sweet little Scarlett is.

She has begun to start cooing, she has gotten more interested in her animal friends that hang from bouncer and on her activity mat. She is getting really good at smiling and her dad is her favorite smiling buddy! Here is a picture of her in her bathtub with her goofy smiley face :) Scarlett has had active legs since she was in the womb but her legs are getting really strong and she can now support her weight with head held high. Enjoy the pictures!

Our First Week as a Family

It has been a whirlwind of a week. It has gone by too fast, and she is changing every day. We are happier than we ever could have imagined we would be. She has brought more joy to our lives in this first week of life and has made us feel like a complete family. We have spent the majority of the week staring at her beautiful face and all of the ever changing expressions that come across it. She has been a great sleeper, which we are very thankful for, and we hope she keeps it up! She is becoming a good eater too, and is gaining weight, yeah! Scarlett fell asleep during her first Mariners game, but so did mom. We decided to repeat the nap time for their second game as well. Unfortunatley we didn't miss their Sunday game, which is the one that we should have missed. We want to thank our family and friends for all of thier help over the last week as well as all of the yummy food to keep us spending quality time with Scarlett rather than in the kitchen. We so appreciate all of it!
