7 weeks old already!!

Today we weighed Tori and she hit a milestone..she passed Mama's birth weight finally :) still have Daddy's to pass but she is gaining good weight now!

*She is 8 lbs 11 oz
*Nurses 8 times a day
*Occasionally gets bottle fed by Daddy
*Stays awake and plays for over an hour after each feeding
*Goes right to sleep when tired w/ a binky
*Sleeps anywhere from 3-6 hours at a time during the night, normally only gets up to nurse one time from 10pm to 7am
*Smiles and giggles more often then when she has gas or in her sleep
*Loves everyone she meets but is especially fond of her Daddy, Gigi, and Uncle Jake
*Today she wore her first pair of jeans!! Mama is sooo excited even if they are way too big for her :)

Ladybugs...oh how we love thee

As many of you know Brandi and Tori LOVE ladybugs!! Here is a pic I just couldn't resist posting...the outfit (a sleep-n-play, from Auntie Deb in St. Louis) and the hat, OMGoodness it is sooooo cute and hand knit (from Miss Amy and Aidan)!

Little Mermaid

No long beautiful red hair..but we do have the fin part down (even if it is a winter sock of Daddy's), thanks to Uncle Jake!

U.J. is probably the most funny person Tori has met in her life. He is always coming up with crazy things and we love him lots no matter how silly he is!!

Hanging out at Uncle Leg's on a Saturday night

Last Saturday was Uncle Leg's (one of Daddy's fraternity brothers) birthday so we went over to his house for dinner. Tori wasn't interested in eating dinner, she just really wanted to play on Ryder's tummy time mat, oh and talk to Auntie Corine, I think Tori even smiled at her a few times!!

The Traveling Tori part 2

After visiting St Louis and all of the "crazies" (we love you Lamczyk's) we headed to Southwest Missouri to visit Bryan's family and a couple of my friends. First on the list Bryan's Grandpa Knight. We went out to dinner with him and his wife and Bryan's mom. I got a good 4 generations picture that we will cherish for many years.

Sat afternoon 2 of my very best friends in the whole world, Sarah and Kristy, came to visit..Kristy brought her kiddos, Korey and Grace. They absolutely adored Tori, telling her over and over "Ahh Tori you are so pretty" "Oh Tori you are such a cute baby" I love how much they love her.


Korey and Grace brought Tori her first baby doll and we love her very much!!






Auntie Sarah brought Tori a Valentine's Day gift bag, inside was this AWESOME hat! (in case you can't read it, it is a Razorback hat) We think Tori already knows how to call the HOGS!! :)
