Willow sat up for the first time tonight with the help of her Boppy !!!!!

Willow's first Thanksgiving has come and gone.  She got to meet her cousins and see her great aunt and uncle.  Of course staying at g-ma and g-pa Hofmann's house was fun (for g-ma especially).  She got to try mashed taters, can't say that she enjoyed them much but she got to try them anyway.  Then the day after Thanksgiving was her 20 week weigh in.  Getting so big. 13 lb 8oz.  She is doing so good at grabbing things with each hand, and transferring things from one hand to the other. She gets distracted easily while eating tending to watch and follow people and whatever is going on in the room at the time.  Rice cereal eating it going well, she eats about a tablespoon at a time(usually). We have started feeding it to her twice a day now.  We have made our Christmas cards and can't wait to get them sent out. Watch your mail :)

Happy 19 week Willow pants.  My oh my how you have grown.  So much more coordinated and purposeful in her movements. Follows you where ever you go, so attentive.  Eating rice cereal like a big girl and trying real hard to sleep thru the night.   Everyone says she looks like Jim and my mom. I'm fine with that, I just hope she gets the Jackson side of my family (my dad's mom's side) feisty nature and the confidence to be her own person !!!!!  Watch out world :)

Willow had her 4 month....YES 4 month doc appt. today.  She's gaining like she should, growing like she should and reaching all her milestones! Yup overachiever!!! She has started waking up again in the middle of the night to eat and is eating 6-8 oz each feeding so we got the all clear to start rice cereal.So tonight before bed we mixed some up.  She did pretty good with it. Didn't spit too much out. I think it's a start and hopefully we can get enough in her to satisfy her thru the nigh.  So excited!  She got more vaccinations today and didn't do too bad. She came home and slept. 

Happy First Halloween baby Willow.  She was too young to actually go Trick or Treating.  She did have a costume but.............she has had a bad couple days. So she put on the costume for about 5 min.  Maybe next year she can go out and get some loot.
