Summer starting to crawl

We are at Madison's 3rd birthday party at Aventureplex where Summer crawled for the first time. Summer had a great time with her friends Ava and Annabelle.

Summer standing

This video was taken with my digital camera on Jan 9. Summer is standing propped up against the couch. She is 7 1/2 months old here.

October 2006 Photos

Sorry we are so behind on our postings. Summer keeps me very busy. It's hard to find the time. Finally, here are the rest of the October 2006 photos.

Happy New Year!

This is my favorite family portrait of 2006.

Five months and double her birth weight


Here is a picture of Elaine Roberts, my wonderful lactation consultant at Saint John's Health Center. Without her help, I might have given up on breastfeeding a long time ago. Since Summer was two weeks old, I've been obsessed with her weight, always worrying about if she is getting enough to eat. Elaine said that babies should be about double their birth weight at 5 months and triple their birth weight at 1 year. Summer is 5 months now and more than double her birth weight! :)

Extreme close-ups

On a sunny day like today, it's fun snapping photos of Summer. I took these in a shaded area behind tall buildings, yet the beaming sun provided plenty of light. She's nice and calm after her Sunday morning walk with Daddy.

Finally, no pink!

I'm always teasing Shaunyi about how Summer only wears pink. So it was a joy to come home to my little baby girl in a cute, blue dress. And coincidentally, I was wearing blue, too.

Surf's up!

It's tummy time for Summer. She's 3 months old today so we're trying to get her to lay on her stomach for a few minutes a day. This is supposed to help strengthen her arms and neck.

Star Wars geek spotted

This is actually the second time I've seen this car on the freeway. I made sure to get a photo this time. The R2D2 in the back actually moved. I googled Del Sol X-Wing and sure enough, I found more photos.

Guess where my daddy works...

We had to put this on her before she gets too big. It seems like she's growing so fast right before our eyes.

Summer gets vaccinated

We weren't looking foward to bringing Summer in for her shots since we knew it would just cause her to cry and have a fever afterward (which we heard is pretty common). But as it turned out, she took it rather well considering she got poked four times. And either her immune system is pretty good or the infant Tylenol was effective because her temperature never got above 99 degrees. All in all, I guess we were pretty lucky with this experience.

Finally, more pictures!

We've been quite busy over the last few weeks so the pictures have been piling up. I posted the photos on flickr.com, which has a cool little slideshow plugin. The descriptions don't show up as the slideshow plays, so you'll have to click on each photo to view the descriptions.

Enjoy!

Finally growing into her clothes

This weekend was nice and warm, perfect for Summer to try on something besides a onesie. I think this is the time it starts to get fun for the mom; when her baby girl is big enough to wear some cute outfits. I'm just glad that at least one of us has the patience to pick out clothes for our daughter.
