Independence Day

Rosemary is five months old!

She's still got those big blue eyes.

Rosemary is hanging out at the church picnic last week. Her little onesie says

"My dad's a super hero."

She loves to giggle in the mirror.

To celebrate Independence Day, we went to campus to watch the fireworks.

Happy fourth of July!

The booms were a little scary, but she loved watching the colors.

Sitting and visitors

So this isn't a great picture of me, but Rosemary sure looks cute! She's getting close to sitting up by herself.

Cody came to visit before he heads up to Illinois. While Cody holds Rosemary, Rosemary eats her alligator.

Four months and First Foods

Rosemary is four months old! We almost forgot to take the alligator picture, so we got one as we were putting her down to bed. She was so sleepy!

Rosemary seems to enjoy her new exersaucer. Thanks Uncle Jason and Aunt Nikki!

Reading some fairy tales with dad before bedtime.

Her first meal. Rosemary ate her first bit of cereal the day that tropical storm Alberto came through Gainesville.

Mmm...delicious.

The bathing beauty.

She ROLLED OVER...

...and we both missed it! Jonathan had laid Rosemary down in her crib this afternoon on her back, and when I went in to get her, she was on her tummy! So she managed to roll over from her back to her stomach and we didn't even get to watch!

Butterflies, Bjorns, and Bumbos

Rosemary has been learning to sit up in her bumbo seat. She does pretty well in it. It's designed to support her so she can't slip out and helps to strengthen her neck muscles. Sometimes she'll prop just one arm up on the side. It's hilarious.

The last two pictures are from Mother's Day. We headed to Butterfly Rainforest...again...but this time Rosemary got to face out in her Baby Bjorn. I think her favorite part was the end, where you have to "check for hitchhikers" in the big mirror. She was all smiles.

The Many Expressions of Rosemary

Mother's Day 2006

Aloha!

She's crackin' up!

Daddy's beard is so interesting to her

Awww...sweet girl.

She's three months old! And check out the tummy.

Easter

This Easter, we invited our parents to come to Gainesville for church and lunch afterwards. My friend, Rachel, and her son, Will, came to Harvest with us too. Will is just a few days younger than Rosemary so we've been to most of the new mom lunches together.

Rachel, Will, me and Rosemary. Rosemary hadn't quite woken up yet.

This is from our backyard, right in front of our roses.

Doesn't it look like she's up to something?

2-3 Months

Rosemary keeps growing and growing!

There's a little bit of drool just waiting to drop on Grandma P!

Rosemary, Jonathan, and the loquat tree.

Rosemary is two months old!

Janey feeding Rosemary at Zachary C.'s birthday party. This was Rosemary's first party!

Bathtime! Jonathan has started giving her baths in the evenings and she loves them.

Rosemary loves to smile.

Devil's Millhopper

One of the last cool days in Gainesville, Jonathan's family came up for a trip to Devil's Millhopper.

Another Butterfly Visit

I apologize for the delay in posting new pictures. The ones below are from when Rosemary was about 2 months old.

What a cute bunny!

Sleeping on Daddy's chest...again. :-)

A visit to the butterfly exhibit with Tim and Michelle's family.

Pictures--around 2 months old

Once again, Rosemary's favorite place to sleep. Daddy doesn't seem to mind too much either!

She smiles!

It was too warm to wear this at Easter,

but she sure looked cute as a bunny.
