We dressed her up as a lady bug for Halloween.  We didn't go anywhere but she needed to dress up. 

We had family pictures taken for Christmas cards ( we didn't end up doing cards).

Cute girl fell asleep holding her ears.

We went to St.  George for her 1st Thanksgiving.  Dinner was at Ash and Phil's house and then we stayed at Grandma Debbie's and Papa Ken's.  Here she is with Grandpa Scott.

3 Months

Can you believe Ronnie is 3 months already.  She keeps changing and growing.

She is 16 pounds and 24 inches
chews her hands, gags herself too
jabbers
smiles really big
laughs when her neck is washed
she can hold her toys
drinks 3-4 oz every two hours
having a hard time napping
she is so happy in the morning
rolls to her side
drools all over herself
tries to lift herself up

She has finally decided she might like her swing. 

She will watch Chris on the internet.  He plays animal sounds with her. 

All of her toys that she likes.  She chews on her elephant and can sit in her Bumbo.

While out grocery shopping we realized that Ronnie needed a bum change.  I took her to the restroom and got her new diaper on then another little girl came in flipping out which made Ronnie cry.  I needed to change her clothes since they were dirty but since she was crying so hard I just wrapped her up in a blanket and met Chris at the car.  So she rode home in only a diaper.  Bad Mama.

She found her voice over the weekend .  I told Chris our home will never be quiet again.  She also laughed for the first time.  I tried to capture it but of course she quit as soon as I got the camera out.  She also likes to to watch TV with dad. 

 

New Tricks

She is changing so fast that it is unbelievable.  She is learning how to grab things.  So we bought her this toy that she can grab.  She gets mad when it blocks her fist from her mouth though. 

A different view with her favorite toy.

She now fits is her stroller better.

She is also standing, using her big muscles.

The bubbles can calm her down when nothing else will.

We have taken her bath seat out of the tub and put a towel under her head and just let her go.  She loves tubby time.

So tired.

Check out that belly.  Love it.

She does this every Sunday after church.  

 Her cousin Millie who is beautiful.  That hair, oh my gosh.

 Great Grandpa Lowder, Barbara, and Dad.

Daddy is playing songs on Pandora, she likes, "The wheels on the bus."

 Milk face.

 She thinks Daddy's beat boxing is pretty funny.

 

Sweet Cheeks 1st Piano

I really wanted to get this toy for her but it is around $50, which is crazy.  We will be poor the rest of our lives I am sure.  Well I saw this toy on the local facebook classifieds for $15.  So I bought it.  Boy oh boy does she love it.  She learned really fast that kicking it makes it work.  She also smiles at herself in the mirror above her head.  Here is a cute video of her wailing on the piano.  She kind of plays like her aunt Cindrie.

A Name and a Blessing

On September 1,  2013 Chris gave Ronnie her name and a blessing in the Logan River 1st Ward.  We had so much support.  Visitors were: Ronnie, Peggy, Chelsey, and Cindrie Lowder, Kyle, Chantae, Josie, and Millie Jones, Virl, and Barbara Nash, DeVon and Barbara Lowder, Ken, and Debbie LeFevre, Scott, and Jeanne Monks,  Mike, Misty, Riley, Sam, Claire, and Chase LeFevre, Lila Baxter, Daryn, and Mason LeFevre, Colleen Pendleton, Adam and Krystal Monks, Andy Monks, Kayla LeFevre, Jason, Kelli Jones, Casey, and Jenny Ringer, and Erika, London, and Blayke Siler.
Chris gave her a beautiful blessing and she slept the entire time.  After the meeting we met at Merlin Olsen Park in Logan for a luncheon.  We enjoyed everyone's company and ate a yummy meal.  It was such a great day.  When the three of us got home we all had about a 2 hour nap, the perfect end to the day.
