Coming to mailboxes everywhere...

It's Christmas card time! I'm so excited to finally get to do personalized Christmas cards this year! I have always wanted to do them, but have never had a cute enough subject to put on them. Now that miss Sophia is here, I am using Shutterfly to create our Christmas cards. I think I actually squealed when I heard that I could get them free just for blogging about Shutterfly. I love using Shutterfly! I ordered our birth announcements from there and they came out great! We still get compliments on them and other people asking where they came from. I am also in the process of making photo books for Christmas presents this year. Such a great keepsake and super easy to make. Shutterly is so easy to use and has so many great things to choose from! Here are some of my favorite photo cards


I love the playfulness of this one.


I really like that you can use more than one picture on this one...because I can't choose just one picture of my cutie!

This is really neat because you don't have to write up a Christmas letter...it's included on the card!

Don't just take my word...go check it out for yourself!

Happy shopping!

4 Months

Oops! I've been slacking at blogging lately. I guess that's what happens when you have a cute little baby taking up all your time! I'll do the 4 month update and hopefully be back in just a couple of weeks for the 5 month update.

Sophia, here is what you were up to at 4 months:

*You weighed 13lb 3oz and was 25in long at your 4 month appointment. That is in the 50th percentile for weight and 80th for height. I guess you are going to be tall like mommy. Let's get busy on those sports scholarships, shall we?!

*You still go to sleep around 8:00 and get up at 5:30 for me to feed you, then you go back to sleep until 7 when it's time to go to Ms. Cain's. However, you are beginning to get up at 4:30 instead of 5:30...we need to get this straightened out ASAP!

*You are beginning to wear 3-6 month clothing and wear a size 1 diaper.

*You began sleeping on your stomach the day before you turned 4 months. I lay you down in your crib and you immediately roll over to your tummy.

*You still have a hard time rolling back onto your back and you scream until someone rolls you back over.

*You give the biggest belly laughs when we play "I'm gonna get you!" and when we "bite" your belly/back/feet

*You eat 4oz every 2.5-3 hours at Ms. Cain's and only take a morning nap. You are very nosy and afraid to miss something, so sleeping is put on the back-burner. (Wonder where you get this from?!)

*You nurse when you are with momma and you eat like a champ!

*You are most definitely a mommy's girl! You don't like it when I leave the room and I usually have to be within eyesight if someone else is holding you. While I LOVE that you love me so much, it is a bit dramatic and I'd like for others to enjoy you as much as I do. I'm sure I'll have to remind you (and me) that you really do love me when you are a teenager saying "I hate you" because I won't let you get your belly button pierced.

*You went on your first trip to the zoo and you loved it. I wore you in the sling and had to wear you facing outward so you could see everything. Your favorite animals were the seals, sea lions, and the monkeys.

*You had your first ear infection. Mommy and daddy felt really bad because we didn't even know your ear was bothering you! We took you to the doctor for a lingering cough and he said you had an ear infection, but you hadn't shown any signs of one.

*You are learning and growing each day and I love watching you as you discover new things
