Sporting another winter hat with daddy!
My sister-in-law Rachel chilling with Tori when they were up for her baptism!
My grandma posing with her two newest great-granddaughters, Sofia on the left at almost two months and Tori on the right at almost four months.
Tori having a conversation with my grandpa!
Auntie Rachel and Uncle Eric brought the cutest little hooded towel with them from Texas for Tori! She had to use it for her bath the night she got it!
Oh the grumpy face!
Tori and Sofia wiggling around on the table!
Getting two babies to cooperate during pictures is hard! Sofia is in the pink and Tori is in the brown!
Apparently we were not interesting enough for them!
Cousins!
We were trying to determine the size difference. We couldn't figure it out but they both had checkups shortly after Sofia's visit and Sofia was 22.5 inches and Tori was 24.5 inches.
One of my favorite pictures of Tori and her daddy!
Waiting patiently for church to begin.
I must have been trying to point something out to her!
Listening intently to pastor Gary.
She was so hot in her dress I decided to let her sit in the pew.
Soooooooo tired!
And she's out!
Perfect little angel!
Her little tongue was going but she didn't have her pacifier!
The church at the corner of 14th and Court always has a pumpkin patch and since we didn't make it to an actual pumpkin patch I thought I would try to get some good fall pictures of Tori at the church one. Stacy met me out there, but as you can tell in this picture Tori was not a fan.
But we kept trying....
...and trying! Oh well maybe next year!
Her four month picture! Can't believe it! So happy
Visiting great grandma Watts on Halloween.
I didn't know ducks chomped on their fists!
Such a good picture!
What an innocent face!
Happy little family!
Having a blast!
Picture with her great grandparents.
She fell asleep between our stops.
Around Halloween she discovered that she had a voice. She loves making funny sounds with peoples hands.
Wiggling on the counter at Me-maws and grandpas.
Our final stop was at our friends house. Their daughter Laila is on the left sitting with her legs so nicely crossed! She is going to be a big sister in a few weeks!
Since Tori didn't cooperate at the pumpkin patch Me-maw got her some to try pictures at home so on Halloween I took some of her in her costume with them. I am pretty proud of them!
This is the only picture that I think she looks like me in!
Love this one!
Mocha was on the other side of the fence when I was taking Tori's pictures!
Mocha has also decided that the chair in Tori's room is hers....
Even if I am sitting in it!
WOW! That was alot of pictures!
Sorry again for the delay in posting, like I said we have been crazy busy! The past few weeks we have had the baptism with my family being in town, Halloween, Devin got a new job (still at CAT, same department, similar job, more money), I've gone back to work (I take Tori with me! She loves it and so do I! I am going to be working alot until the end of the year), and our biggest news is that we have decided to build a house, so our evenings have been consumed with meeting with builders! We think we have almost found our builder and we are just working on plans and getting the lot and whatnot!
Tori has had a busy few weeks too! She has discovered her voice which is very entertaining to listen to! She is also mildly obsessed with her feet. She plays with them all of the time, even during diaper changes, which many of you know makes it a little more difficult to change her! And her newest thing is rolling from back to tummy! So now she rolls both ways! She isn't rolling to get to things yet, but I know it is coming! Tori is also trying to push up on her knees when she is on the floor on her tummy, but everytime she tries she faceplants. She can't figure out how to hold both her front half and back half up at the same time!
Tori had her four month checkup this past Tuesday. Everything went well except for her weight gain, which was only 7 oz in almost 7 weeks. They are suppossed to gain 2-4oz a week. Whooops! Dr. Kahn wanted me to start giving her formula or rice cereral, but I fought against it! She is not having anything besides breastmilk until she is 6 months old! At one point he told me double what she is eating and bring her back in for a weight check on Friday. I was so pissed by this point about how little he knew about breastfeeding I told him to double what he ate by Friday! Needless to say we compromised and I took her back in on Friday and she had gained, not quite as much as he would have liked, but oh well! So now she is 10lb 14oz and we go back for another weight check on Friday. She was 24.5 inches long! She is a happy and is growing, so I am not too concerned about her weight! I will just simply feed her more! I hope we don't have to do these weekly weight checks for a long period of time!
Thanks for checking in! It's nice to know people still are reading! I never realized how much time blogging takes!

Wow!!! So many pictures! Love to look back through the blog and see little miss Tori growing up. Happening so fast, and she is still just getting started! You both are doing so good with her. Proud of you both... and of course the little angel, Tori!
Yay for pictures!!! This was a nice long post too :) She is such a cutie - and even though you were disappointed in the Pumpkin Patch pictures I think those were some of my favorite - definitely going to embarass her with those someday :) Thanks for posting!!
love all the photos! Can't believe you guys are building another home! Where at? and what made you want to? Can I have the one you're in for free??? LOL. Also if you have an issue with the cereal/formula I don't blame ya for standing ground! Go girl! You could always add cereal to her diet and mix it with breastmilk instead of water/formula. Just a thought. Glad things are going well and Rach said that Tori can roll from tummy to back and back to tummy! AWESOME! She's such and doll and hope to meet her and see you guys someday soon!
grics.netWhat a pleasure to see all the pictures of Tori--she is certainly
growing up even though the pediatrician was concerned that she wasn't heavy enough!I'm sure she'll catch up, you have to remember that average runs from low to high and as I told one doctor maybe she wasn't in the
right group for the averaging!!!
Thanks for posting more pix of our baby girl. I check this site often - can't get enough! She's so flippin' cute! LOVE the halloween costume!
You are both such great parents! No wonder she smiles so much!
Love,
Great Aunt LeeAnn
