Piper at 3 months

I'm getting stronger and bigger each day. When I'm up to it I can even roll over but Mommy has yet to catch me on camera doing it. I also don't care to smile for the camera much although I do love to smile when it's in the other room. I weigh about 12.5 lbs now. My doctor says I'm in the 90th percentile for height (Mommy says that might not last long) and the 75th percentile for my weight. I'll check in again and let you know how I'm growing on my next appointment in January. Catch ya later!! Much love until then!

Christmas 2006

Merry Christmas Everyone!! This was my first Christmas! My brothers and I got lots of good stuff this year! I got a Baby Einstein Gym set and I love to try and grab all the toys that hang from the top of it. I'm really getting the hang of using my hands! Danyl got the snowboard jacket that he wanted and Kristopher got a Nerf Indoor Basketball Gaming system so he can shoot hoops in his room. My Daddy got a new toothbrush and my mommy got jewelry. Later, our friends, Phil, Pam, Autumn and Phoenix came over for Christmas dinner. We watched "Miracle on 34th St" and ate apple pie and pumpkin cheesecake. We all had a wonderful time and are blessed to have one another! We miss you Papa!!

My godsister Autumn is so funny!

Me and Autumn on Thanksgiving day!

Don't I look like a big girl?

My Papa and Me!

You know your MOHAWK is natural when it's harder to get down than up!

I'm all bundled and ready for my car ride.

My big brother rocked me to sleep...I love him.

Happy Halloween everybody!! I'm a home grown Sweetpea!!

Stop teasing me brother!!

I wasn't happy for long in my Sweetpea sack...

The first of many rides to come on my Daddy's shoulders..."Say 'smitten' Daddy...I mean 'CHEESE'!!"

I'm getting so big! See my new neck rolls?!

Here I am at my 3 week check up in my new outfit from my friend Kaden.

Here's my brother, Danyl at his soccer game. This was taken right after a head shot.

I went to my brother, Kristopher's baseball game but I was asleep for most of it...he's #1!!

Drying off from my bath with my bunny towel

My Grandpa Bates came to visit me all the way from Kennewick, WA.

I've been holding my head up since my birthday and I'm getting better and better at it each day...I'm almost a pro!

I've got my Daddy whooped!!

Here's my mommy with my godmother, Auntie Tarsila. She came all the way from Port Orchard, WA to spend the week with me!

After a good nite's sleep...my mommy thinks I grow overnite!

Hanging out with my big brother Danyl.

In Kristopher's own words..."She's the girl of my dreams".

"I've been had! You're not my mommy!"

I've had an exhausting day...Happy Birthday to Me!!

Our family friend Pam was my first visitor...she missed my arrival by 7 minutes!

Ikaika and Phoenix come over to make sure I'm okay, they are very protective of me!

Ikaika welcomes me to the world...he loves to kiss me.

Papa and my big brother Danyl dress and bundle me nice and snug!

My dog Phoenix...she just loves me and sniffs me very gently.

I've been weighed and measured and have had my first diaper change...which I've let my parents know I do not like! I cry every time they change me now!

Here I am getting weighed by my doula, Jeni and my Daddy...I'm much bigger than my brothers were at 7lbs 14oz!

My Daddy holds me for the first time...he thinks I'm the best birthday present EVER!!

Meeting Mommy and Daddy for the first time...they are SO proud of me!

This was taken just moments after I was born...see how peaceful I am?
