Thursday Morning








Here are a few pictures of Sarah Douglas this morning while i was getting dressed for work. Sarah Douglas and I usually wake up around 6:00am. I drink my coffee while i am giving Sarah Douglas her bottle and then i put her in her seat and turn on cartoons or her Baby Einstein movie while i take a shower. Clifton usually gets up and goes running while i am feeding Sarah Douglas. I leave for work by 7:15am so Clifton is in charge of getting Sarah Douglas dressed and entertaining her the rest of the morning. I have the BEST husband!

Sarah Douglas has gotten into a pretty good sleep-wake cycle. We usually put her to bed between 8:30 and 9:00, and she normally does not wake up until 5:30 or 6:00. There are some nights when Sarah Douglas wakes up anytime between 2 and 4am. She is usually not crying, but fussing, so we will go get her and let her sleep with us the remainder of the night. I know letting Sarah Douglas sleep with us is not a good habit to start, but secretly i LOVE having her in the bed with us!!

Sarah Douglas is finally big enough to really play in her exersaucer. She is reaching for all the toys and we love watching her play in it. She is growing up so fast and we cherish every moment with her. Here are some pictures from last night. Hope you enjoy!

Rice Cereal











We introduced Sarah Douglas to rice cereal last night. She seemed to really like it. She didn't get that much in her mouth, mostly all over her face and hands! She still seems too little to be feeding her rice cereal, but we are going to take it slow and we will introduce her to some fruit juices in the next few weeks. Here are some pictures from last night!

Walker Family Reunion

























































































































Sarah Douglas attended her first Walker family reuion. This year, we went to Hugh White state park in Grenada. We had a blast and it was so nice visiting with all our relatives. Sarah Douglas was such a great baby and she, of course, was the center of attention. Here are a few pictures of the weekend.

The dr. informed us that Sarah Douglas has a little bit of cradle cap (basically dry scalp) so he wanted us to get some medicated Selsun Blue to help it go away. I gave her a bath and washed her hair with the new shampoo. The dr. said she may get a little fussy because the shampoo has a tingling sensation once it is applied to the head. It did not seem to bother Sarah Douglas at all. Here are some pictures of bathtime and other random pics from last night.



We ended up not trying the rice cereal last night. We will probally introduce it to her next week. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!

4 mo. check-up

Sarah Douglas had her 4 month check-up today. She did great until the nurse administered the shots. She only cried for about 10 min and then she was calm. She was such a big girl today! Here are her stats:
weight: 14.6 lbs (75 th percentile)
height: 251/2 in. (90th percentile)- i think she will be a tall girl!

Dr. Boldon said that we could introduce rice cereal, fruit juice, and a vegetable every week. We will see how Sarah Douglas likes it!! I will post pictures of her trying cereal in the next few days!

Jimmy Buffet concert





























Clifton and I attended our first ever Jimmy Buffet concert. We traveled to Dallas, TX with the Branch family. We had an AWESOME time and the concert was a blast. We will definitely be going to another one. Here are a few pictures from the concert.

Well, we are leaving this afternoon to go to a Jimmy Buffet concert in Dallas, TX. I am sooooo excited but so sad that i will be leaving Sarah Douglas ALL weekend! This will be the first time that i have been away from her for that long. She is staying with Clifton's parents because my parents are out of town. I know she will be fine, i am just going to miss her so much.

I have never been to a Jimmy Buffet concert. I hear they are awesome! We are going with Jonathan Branch and his family and we are taking one of their limo buses. I have a feeling the ride there will be lots of FUN. I hope everyone has a great weekend and i will update yall on the concert when we return. Hopefully i will get some good pics.

I wanted to share a few pics of Sarah Douglas and her boyfriend, Luke Archer. Laura Ann and I share a lady who keeps the kids during the day. Hope you enjoy!
