Moneyball Stars :)

A few weeks ago we watched "Moneyball." I very much enjoyed the flick! My mother in-law, John and I were so excited to see Matt's name in the movie from his baseball playing days!

There he is -Left Hand Pitcher O'Brien, right above the flash! So cool! :)

John is in New York all week for work. Last night, he took some clients to The Daily Show (John interned there after college and his Uncle works for the show) and Brad Pitt was the guest! Oh the jealousy, 4 feet from my husband! Ahh! John reports he is tall unlike most Hollywood leading men and as handsome as he is on the big screen!

Here he is last night leaving the show. He is in another long hair phase, not my fave. I thought you would enjoy this tidbit, Mariel! :)

Scarlett rolling

Here is a video from last night of Scarlett doing her favorite thing: rolling. She has been slowly figuring out to roll herself back over from tummy to back - still not consistent enough to snag it on video! Feel free to turn your volume down so you don't have to listen to me!!

And the messes begin...

Both of the grandmas had recommended feeding S rice cereal. This weekend we introduced it and a spoon to the Little Miss and she is loving it. Our little bird dives her mouth right into it.

John giving it a whirl Fingers in mouth have become a permament pose

S - I will get better at actually getting the food in your mouth

Missing her

S is definitely missing her grandmas today after two weeks of love and snuggles!

Gigi, we miss you already. Thank you for everything - meals, two date nights, presents, coffee runs, and so much more. We love you!

Woo hoo it is the weekend!

This week flew by - I was not looking forward to Saturday because it meant my mom was leaving. Thankfully though she had her ticket wrong, she doesn't leave until Sunday! Yea for one more day!!

Morning snuggles with the little miss are my favorite

My mom brought S into my office on Wednesday afternoon for a visit!

We visited the SF Flower Market with my co-worker Nicole on Thursday to pick up flowers for an event. S loved all the colors!

While I was away at work S had some convos with Gigi in her crib

Then played the roll over game

I had to work late on Thursday night in Santa Rosa - such a gorgeous spot for our event definitely helped being away from my girl for my longest period yet

My so thoughtful bestie, Kel, sent us these adorable mailboxes to make for a sweet Valentine's Day!

We went on a date last night with our friends, Dave & Cat, to dinner where we used Savored to score 30% off our dinner then to see Fitz & The Tantrums - who were so fabulous! Absolutely loved walking out of the concert to hop in our ride waiting at the curb to escort us home via Uber - technology at its finest!

Grandmas

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late - my transition back to work combined with the little miss not sleeping at night is leaving me feeling wiped. Seriously could not be any more grateful for these two. I cannot even fathom what these past two weeks would have been like without them. Pam - thank you thank you thank you for caring for our girl, all the meals, desserts and support! Scarlett misses her Nana!

This pic was taken when we did a grandma swap on Saturday. One week with her Nana, now S is spending a week with her Gigi. Spoiled with love doesn't even begin to cover it! :) S is rolling constantly back to tummy and scooting. I will try to post some video.

Scarlett: 4 Months

This one seems big to me, 4 months old! 1/3 of her first year of life - wow it has gone by in a blink. Scarlett is rapidly changing each day and constantly showcasing one of her new skills.

Her stats as of 1/12 were:

Weight - 13lbs. 14oz. (70%)

Height - 24 inches (70%)

Oh the many faces of our Little Miss - she definitely has her daddy's serious side but boy does she wake up with a smile. She is making us work harder for her giggles - she likes new material. S is a gabber, loves to talk and talk - her Nana even got her singing yesterday.

She definitely has faces for when she is unsure, inquisitive, and oh the face she made when John and I tried to give her formula! We wanted to give it a try - oh she was having none of it and gave us a look like "don't think you can pull a fast one on me."She is loving her newfound skills for moving. Our girl is rolling - being on the floor means she is flipping from her back to her tummy. Still not so sure about flipping back over to her back when she gets there but likes to repeat the move often. Being on her tummy has never been a favorite but last night after her bath she kept trying to roll over on her changing table so John helped her over. Boy did she love her tummy then - she looked at us with a look like "Hello, all I wanted was a little cushion for my belly and elbows stop putting me on the floor." It was classic.

Her arms and legs are in constant motion. She wants to sit up so bad. S is always doing what I refer to as the Pilates 100 - her little head/shoulders raised as high as she can along with her legs while laying down. Baby girl is working on her core! She still loves to be standing and pushing herself up from sitting to standing with our support. She is so enjoying her Johnny Jump - mainly just hanging so far.

Oh sleep, how I miss you! Our Christmas vacation really did a number on Scarlett's sleeping combined with what I am told was her 4 month sleep regression plus a growth spurt in height. Our little milk monster was up every 45 minutes eating or just needing some company for about 2 weeks. We are working on her learning how to put herself back to sleep after her intital 1/2 hour wakeup. I think crying it out is in our near future. Scarlett is sleeping for about four hours, three hours, two hours off and on.

Scarlett, I fall more in love with you everyday.
