Four Months

Time for my monthly post....and it's #FOUR! I can not believe my baby is four months old!
Deja's stats at Four Months: weighing in at 12 pounds 10 ounces and in the 29th percentile.....& now 23 1/4th inches, jumping up to the 16th percentile (double from two months ago)
She is still our super Happy and Content little gal. She is now quite the jabber box....making all sorts of cute little noises! She even giggled a few weeks ago...when we were in Steamboat. So far, it's only been for Dad when he kisses her neck...but it's so dang cute! We've had a few pretty darn nice days and Deja has loved it! She loves to be outside with Dad and Teva (who has been working on getting the yard in shape)....after being outside the first time, I stepped into the house and she started to cry, but as soon as we went back outside she was as happy as can be! We also broke Dej into the puppy park.....she liked it, but got a little sleepy and fell asleep on my chest. Deja discovered Teva lately and will watch her play around the living room....and Teva has gone from not really caring to liking her little sister. While Dej was doing 'tummy time' Teva decided her little toosh looked like a nice little pillow!Dej and I got all suited up and ready to go out for our first run...she was so happy and cute, but when we went out to the garage, our excitment was ended by goatheads that flattened the jogger tires.....but Deja does love to be in her stroller, especially at the mall -where there is plenty to look at
After her Dr. appointment Friday, we got the go ahead to start some cereal. We rushed to the store to get a box and some little bowels and spoons. She looked so cute and big in her high chair!She did really good for her first time....her little tounge worked against her some, but for the most part...not too much came back out. We (Grandma Jacki got to be here for it!) were all pretty impressed at how great she did.
It's fun to watch her as she tries to figure out what's going on...I think she's still a little confused as to why she can't just suck it all down...but I don't think it's going to take very long at all for her to figure it all out!
Deja's got such a cute and sweet little personality....she loves her mommy, but is also a little daddy's girl.
Dej still loves to suck and chew on her hands...we thought that -maybe- it was because she's teething, but our Dr. told us that wasn't the case...but due to the constant chewing and buckets of drool, we still aren't completely convinced ;)
We kind of gave up on the whole shoe thing....because most of them don't really ever stay on... but she did look pretty cool in her pink wanna-be converses! I don't know if it's a good thing or not....but Dej is already our little TV junkie....she Loves to watch the TV (the colored square by the light is the TV).... whenever it's on, she's crank her neck to see it. She really isn't too picky either...and will watch pretty much anything that's on. However, if she could tell you- she'd probably say she loves playhouse Disney...particularly Micky Mouse Clubhouse. And....what post would be complete without a pic of Tevie? She loves to play on the stairs with you...and when you're in the basement...she'll run to the top of the stairs to wait to get you as you get to the top of the stairs!

Road Trip with Dad

Deja and I tagged along with Chase for work a few weeks ago.... we went to Steamboat, then down to Grand Junction (where we were able to help Chase's Aunt Betty pack up some things around her house....she's moving to Idaho! ....we also got to see Chase's mom and brother there too)
Dad and Dej in Steamboat....you can't tell by the picture....but it was snowing, and Dej LOVED it! While there we found a little consignment store called Deja Vu... I found a Teva hat in it, and the owner, after hearing Deja's name gave her a free little coat!
While Dad worked....Dej and I chilled in the hotel rooms.... Dej loved sleeping in the big beds....she was a little trooper! On our way home, the roads were closed....so we got stuck and had to spend the night in Vail. ....Me and Dej didn't mind! :) She loves to watch cartoons in the mornings.....and the hotel was no different!

Spring Break

Since neither Chase or I are in school anymore we really don't get a Spring Break. But we did get to celebrate it with my mom, brother, and sister.....who came out for their break. They brought Dej a fun bouncy chair that she loves! Now she can get off the floor....which is great because once she realized there was more to life than laying on a blanket, she's not as content laying around all day!
My cousin is on a mission in El Salvador.....he had a lady there make this cute little hat, complete with bib & booties for Dej.....that he sent to us in the mail, it was a fun little package to get!
We had lots of fun with our visitors.....
...and Dej got lots of loves...
...and hugs!
Teva got in on the hugs too.....but only from Brods!

Home Improvements

Chase has been super busy with many projects around the house since we moved in last July..... he's added an extra closet in the master bedroom....enlarged the closet in Deja's room....put in a fireplace downstairs....redid both the front and back yards- which includes moving rocks, planting grass, installing a sprinkler system, putting up a fence, and making a garden spot....tearing down a wall....and remodeling the kitchen -complete with new floors and countertops ......just to name a few ;)
