Broken Camera :(

Our camera is currently broken...it just won't focus anymore. This makes me SO sad. I am missing so many fun things with Sally. My brother got married, Nana came to Tulsa to visit, Sally is rolling all over the place, playing with the dogs...there is so much fun stuff to catch and I'm missing it!!! So, hopefully we're going to remedy that situation soon. More updates to come!

4 Months Old!

Happy 4 Month Birthday, Miss Sally!

4 Month Stats:
Weight: 14 lbs 7.5 oz (75th percetile)
Height: 25 1/2 inches (90th percentile)

Sally loves:
- playing with her Sophie (its a constant battle to keep it away from Copper)
- giggling out loud
- rolling over (from back to front!)
- playing in her exersaucer
- sitting in her bumpo chair
- going for walks in the stroller
- staring at the dogs
- smiling at everything- even the tv made her smile today!

New Floors!

Ted, Mike, and PJ installed new wood floors in our house last weekend. Many, many thanks to Mike and PJ-- we could not have done it without you!!!
The den...or "wine drinking room" as I like to call it. Look how it makes the old kitchen stand out...next on our list? Maybe, maybe...

The new formal living room.

Sally and I were caught sleeping on the job! Oops!

Mike got the cruddy job of running the saw. He did a great job though!!

Ted diligently laying the floors.

Stay tuned to catch more house updates!! Its coming along!

Picture Update

These are just a few pictures of what Sally has been doing the past few weeks....

She is SOOO close to rolling over...that pesky arm keeps getting in the way!

She continues to LOVE her Baby Bjorn time with Daddy.

She was my shopping buddy last weekend when we went to Affair of the Heart. She's a great shopper, she talked me in to several things that she just had to have!

Tummy time with the boppy is a little more fun...

Our Little Gigglebox!

Sally has found her giggles over the past couple of weeks. Becca is the best at getting big belly giggles! I love my sweet friend Becca for her willingness to sound goofy in an effort to get those sweet laughs! (You might want to fast forward through the first 20 seconds to get to those giggles!)

"Real" Pictures

Since we were in such a state of transition when Sally was born, she never got a chance to have real pictures taken. We have finally had a normal week at home, so we had some professional pictures taken. We had them taken in her 4th of July dress since she was 3 months old on July 2. She did so well during the pictures. She was all smiles for almost the entire session. When the photographer and I could tell that she was finished (due to the glazed over look in her eyes) I picked her up and she promptly spit up all over me then fell asleep! Perfect timing!

4th of July Tulsa Style

Happy Fourth of July! We spent Sally's first fourth of July at home in Tulsa! Gosh, its nice to be in one place!! We had the ninth annual Downing Fourth of July Extravaganza. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a great day!!

Fourth of July Family!

Sally & Meg got to stay up late to see the sparklers in the backyard.

The sparklers that Jenni and Shane brought were huge! So fun!!

Meg & Sally took a little snooze together in Sally's crib...well, Sally may or may not have slept...

Sally really didn't sleep through the whole party...but she did catch some good naps!

Ted's new toy!
Bryson looked fabulous!!
There were some mean bocce ball games going on....
