lil monkey girl

She has become an expert at rolling over and rarely stays in one position for long anymore. If I put her on the blanket she'll quickly scoot herself around and before I know it she has rotated a full 360 degrees.

Flash and Phoebe are just starting to notice each other. Phoebe thinks Flash is hilarious. Flash thinks Phoebe is kind of scary but smells pretty interesting. 

sneak peek

Phoebe's 3 month photo shoot sneak peek. 

What's black and white and cute all over?

This is adorable. Look at those socks. Are you kidding me?! We had 3 month pictures taken on Saturday and I'm a little worried about them because this smiley baby could not have been more serious at the photo shoot. I think we got her to crack one smile. The photographer probably thinks we're nuts because during her session I was sneezing and yawning and trying all of my tricks (that do work at home!) and Brent was bouncing her and smacking her booty(both of which are fail proof last resort methods to restore the peace at home) and Phoebe just stared at us like we weren't funny at all. For the record: we are funny. Sooo, the photographer is supposed to email me a sneak peak in a week and have the whole shabang done in two. I can't wait to see them, even if we had the most serious baby in the world on Saturday.

Other big news, she has rolled over from tummy to back. Still working hard to roll the other way. I started giving her some baby food last week. I know it is kind of early, but eating is definitely one of her strong points and so far she seems to be loving the bananas and peaches. So we're sticking with that for a while.

Baby babbles

She found her voice and has lots to say.

Grandma email me these pictures so I thought I better include them too. 

 What do you think of my new tuk?

Phoebe found her voice last night and had stories to tell and songs to sing. Loudly. Very Loudly. 

3 months!

And she couldn't be happier

 How cute is that butt?

 Flash will catch her in the event of an actual roll over

 Her hair did this crazy flip thing on top. Looks like she is from who-ville.

tummy to back. a sequel

1.) lift giant head

2.) kick leg over

 3. Try to throw arm over

if that doesn't  work. 

Just stick your booty up in the air

look how ready to scoot I am. If only my head didn't weigh 80 pounds.

Myth busters baby style

There have been claims that Phoebe can  roll over. Grandparent Folk Lore and Proud Papa-ganda are to blame for spreading this myth. While she hasn't mastered it yet, she does put forth quite the effort while trying. More grunts than a female tennis match- more belly too!

circle of neglect

Q. What do you do when you really want to jump, but your toes don't hit the floor yet?

A.  You stick a box under there!

She loves the jumper and gets pretty wild in there. Without the box her toes juuust barely touch the carpet and she has no fun. With the box she is a wild women and slingshots herself around.
