33 weeks today.  Everyday Willow changes.  She's still up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth...she still ends up going backwards. We're working on going FORWARD.  Big Big news, she has a tooth coming in (bottom front).  So far the only thing we've noticed is a LOT of mucus.  And we all know how much I HATE mucus!!!!!!!!!  I'm dealing with it.  No weight gain this week, but she's a BUSY BUSY girl so I'm sure she's burning alot of energy.   We went to our first Baby Time at the library....it ended up being more of toddler time. All the kids were up and walking, so we are going to try a different day and see if smaller kids are in it.  Can't wait to get her swimming. She has I think a total of 4 swimming suits.  It's terrible that no one loves this kid.

so we've been using sign language with Willow almost since the day we brought her home from the hospital.  I think she is finally making the connection with the sign for milk (we use that sign for her formula).  The past couple days when we sign it to her she gets really excited !!!
on another note.... she is SO close to crawling.  She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks.  More often than not she falls on her belly and eventually inches backwards instead of forward.  It won't be long now though

32 weeks check in.  FINALLY Willow pants broke 16lbs.  Everyday she seems to change.  Still getting up at least once a night to eat...guess that will pass.    Going to get her some swim lessons this spring/summer.  And signed her up for a program at the library.  Fun things are going to happen, I'm so excited!

Happy Valentine Day Willow pants.  Had our second measurable snow, so we went outside and I pulled her in her sled.  Don't think she was impressed.  She has discovered herself this week. She loves to look in her mirror and get really close. It's so cute.  Still trying to crawl....it won't be long.  Still no teeth but she's all the time chewing on her fingers, so it probably won't be long.  I'm making a prediction that THIS week she will be at or over 16lbs.  She's almost ready to move up a size in diapers too, I can't believe it. This will be her 5th size of  diaper since we brought her home. 

31 weeks today.  Willow is trying soooooooo hard to crawl.  Sitting up alone like a champ.  Eating like a little piglet.  She may be small but she's gonna be mighty.  We have spent a couple nights at G-ma and G-pa Hofmann's house and she just doesn't do well there, she has major meltdowns.  Hopefully it's just a phase.  She's sitting in a highchair when we go out to eat and sitting in her stroller when we go shopping. She just can't stand to lay down in the car seat when we aren't in the car. She HAS to see what's up.  I was SURE she would break the 16 lb. mark today, but she's OH SO CLOSE!!!!!

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!

30 week weigh in. I was sooo sure Willow was gonna hit 16lbs this week. SOOO close!!  She is doing so well.  Blowing raspberries is her new thing. She just sits and blows raspberries while she plays. Very cute.  She is still doing great eating solids.  This week we tried a highchair at a restaurant and it worked out wonderfully.  She also loves to sit in her stroller when we go out, she HAS to see what's going on.   She is sleeping pretty good at night, we still have to get up once or twice with her but she usually goes right back to sleep after eating with no fuss.  She's trying so hard to crawl, she'll get it soon I just know it. This great weather we are having is great, we have been putting the miles on the stroller, that's for sure. The 8th of this month she will officially be 7 months old! How time flies.
