Pictures galore

I had to take a break from updating for a week. The four updates in a week was a bit much. Since I haven't updated in a while there are alot of pictures!

Tori had her two month check up last Monday the 30th. She weighed 10 pounds 9 ounces and was 22.5 inches long. The doctor said she looks good and is strong for her age! We asked about the red spot on here eye and were told that it is a birthmark that will more than likely continue to grow and won't be completely gone until she is 9 or 10 so that blows. If it gets too big or puts pressure on her eye then we will look into getting it removed.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday the 31st and was put on a medicine to try and get more milk. So far I have not seen an increase. She tested my thyroid again and it was so bad that it couldn't be read. The amount of hormone I had was off the chart. It was recommended that I see an endocrinologist so I have an appointment on the 27th. I'm glad I will finally get it all straightened out since I have been dealing with it since I was 17.

Oh and Tori is rolling over from tummy to back! I tried to catch it on camera but failed. In fact she wouldn't roll over when I was looking. I was cleaning and she would be on her tummy then I would turn my back and shed be on her back! She is smiling, giggling, and making happy noises more and more! We love it!

Here are all the new pictures for the week! There are a lot! I told you guys would benefit from this new camera!


Loungin on her Boppy with a cute outfit from Uncle Eric and Aunt Rachel!

Ready for bed!

Squirming around the floor! This quilt was made by my Grandma and Tori and I both love it!

Mocha wants to keep Tori company.

Swarley has to see what is going on.

Grumpy face! Love it!

Tori is all dressed up and ready for pizza and beer with 30 of Devin's family members.

Spending some time with Uncle Patrick at dinner.

Meeting cousin Kim from Minnesota! Kim was nice enough to stand with Tori and hold her so I could eat! Thank you Kim!

Trying to be good and not spit up on Great Uncle Randy like she did last time he held her!

Tori got her shots yesterday and when we got home after I fed her I put her in her swing hoping that she would sleep for a few hours, but of course that didn't happen. She discovered the mirror in the mobile above her swing. Kept her entertained for about 45 minutes.

She was making all sorts of faces and laughing like crazy!

So happy!

Okay, she may have entertained me for a bit too! It is so fun to see her interacting more and more every day!

My favorite from her swing session! So amazed! Love it!

This morning I met Linda, my moms business partner, and one of her daughters Whitney at Starbucks so Whitney could meet Tori. Whitney is currently living in London. She is one of those people that you can go years without talking to and then pick up right where you left off when you see her next. We were best friends growing up and are still connected in many ways. Linda was (and still is) my second mom and I know when (notice I said not if but when) Whitney moves back to the states I know she will be there for Tori like Linda has been for me!

Whitney and Tori loved each other. I was so happy Tori was awake and happy!

Linda is also in love and wants me to come back to work ASAP. Shes offering to set up a pack n play in the office so Tori can go too. I'm not sure how much work the staff or the bosses would get done with Tori there.

As many of you know we spend our Labor Day weekend playing in the MDA ball-a-thon which is a 72 hour softball tournament at the park. Games are played at all hours of the day.

Rounding first...

and second....

There he goes around third...is he going to make it?

HOMERUN! Wooo! Inside the park no less! He really had to book it around the bases!

One of the mens teams that Devin organized took first place in the highest division! He was/is so excited! It is pretty cool! They played great!

Devin thought that Tori needed to pose with the trophies from the weekend. One is from the mens team mentioned above and other is for the consolation bracket championship in the top co-ed division. It was a good weekend!

I can't forget Mocha. Devin took her baseball toy away from her because it plays some annoying music. She found it in no time (on the boppy) and wanted it so bad but didn't take it.

Since the Cardinals won tonight and play the Cubs soon I thought I had better post this picture! Isn't she adorable! I love her! This was also the first time she wore jeans! Ignore the hand in her mouth. She loves to chew on them and I hate it. The nurses always said that its a sign of hunger, but she won't take the boob, bottle, or pacifier she just wants to gnaw on her hands. Looks like we will be the parents of the kid with grubby hands! I hope she grows out of the hand gnawing stage soon!

I have a few videos too of her giggling and making happy noises. I hope to post them soon so keep checking back!

Thanks for checking in!

Wooohoooo for more pictures! I can't get enough so keep em coming :) Can't believe how big she has gotten. I love how amazed little ones get over the smallest things - like a mirror. I bet that was so fun to watch! And I have to say that the Cardinals outfit is by far the best :) Even the socks have the STL! Thanks for bringing her in to work so I could see her - I've been meaning to come hang out but we have had so much going on that I haven't gotten to see you guys as much as I want so that helped - totally made my day!

Also way to go Devin on the Ballathon victories! Although I'm wondering if the other team had anyone actually playing the outfield when you hit the in-the-park homer :) We are all such fast runners.... but it's awesome none-the-less!
