april with the hagerman's

 when we got home from california we started giving prim rice cereal! she was 4.5 months old at the time. our doctor recommended giving her rice cereal at 3.5 months hoping it would help with her reflux, but we decided to wait another month. she was really into it!

 

 katie sent me pictures from when i was a babe and i think these two look like our little angel! we have a picture of jonathan making a face that she makes too!
on april 7th, prim rolled onto her belly then over onto her back at ashton's. i didn't even see the whole thing happen!! that day we left her house and bought a pregnancy test that came up positive! 

 i was still working a couple hours a day for the lady in our neighborhood. i'd hold primrose until she fell asleep in my lap and i loved it. i'd feel her upper half slowly get heavier and drape over my arm. the lady i worked for always said i was training her to not be independent but i didn't care.

 texans take their state flower very seriously. we were walking around daddy's campus when we saw that whoever mowed the lawn mowed around this tiny patch of blue bonnets.

 date night! john and kathy took us to the tejas rodeo while cassidy watched primmy! we missed her, but knew she and cassidy were having fun. the rodeo was a blast and the steak they sell there?? what dreams are made of.

 cutest little thing.

 here she is at almost 5 months old, sitting up like a big girl! 

five months old sitting among the wild flowers.
this is when we started giving her baby food. her first was peas and she seriously loved them.

 first time swimming! we came to this pool all the time last summer while i was pregnant, it was so much fun to be able to take a little baby with us. she fussed a little bit when we first put her in because it was chilly, but she got happy and enjoyed it! such a water baby.

a lot of firsts happening around here: using her little seat thing at the grocery store! now that she was sitting up pretty confidently i figured it was a good time and she agreed.

 (little dress jon picked out for her the week before she was born)

 springtime/early summer is so nice here. it just rains and rains and rains, and not just drizzly rain. we are on the third floor so although the wind makes us feel like we are going to fly away like she does on the wizard of oz, the rain on the roof is so pleasant. 

 see what i mean? so green and beautiful.

prim at her hometown monument.

i sang "it's food time" to Prim and she hated it. i recorded this video to send to my family and they died laughing. sooo sad.

 hehe, here she is with aurora (ashton and aaron's babe). they are four months apart. i made that afghan for her and it is so thick that it's actually more like a play mat! ha!

 we take walks almost every morning, clearly she loves it.

 remind you of anyone?

 hey i turned 27! kathy made my favorite: chicken pot pie!

 blue ring from grandma mitchell and arrow from jon and prim. 

 birthday photo. 

marchy march

we took primrose up to visit with cassidy and her mom. turns out she lives in the cutest ranch on about 10 acres and deer love it as much as i do!

eek this is the last photo of ashton's blanket i made! promise i finished it and i gave it to her when miss aurora was born. it was pretty thick so it turned out to be more of a mat than a blanket.......

ohhhhh wow. i was holding prim and trying to open a can. the can opener wasn't working good and i kept trying and trying and while prim was silent as a mouse i noticed that her thumb was getting squished in the can opener handle!!! so sad!! she didn't even cry or act like it hurt but her thumb was so red.

walks and facetiming with old reliable

sadie hates kids including prim but is so protective. she won't smell or lick prim like the other dogs do and hardly looks at her, but she always sits close by. if i'm holding prim and sadie is sitting at my feet and another dog gets close, sadie growls at them.

i am bald!!!!!!!!!!! after the 'fourth trimester' i started to lose hair like crazy. i know it is common post baby, but jon is convinced that part of it has to do with my body shutting down. either way, i would like my hair back please.

i love dressing prim in her boy clothes. one day at the grocery store she was wearing a little gender neut outfit (with no bracelet) and a little three or four year old girl came up to us and said "i love your baby! she's so cute."

made this little baby a headband!

we went up to fredricksburg to eat and go shopping. this little restaurant was referred to it and it was subpar.

plus it was a quaint little restaurant with no music playing and every table stared at us and kept talking to us about prim the entire meal.

our street.

hey first time in her bumbo!

teehee, little baby leggings

we skipped church and drove around a pretty neighborhood around the church and we found this sign and many other of that caliber.

observation tower in our backyard. do not go up there. so rickety.

four months old!

peach blossoms.

we got little chairs for our patio.

happy st. patty's day! wearing the shirt papa got her in ireland.

poor baby got sick after her vaccinations. it was so sad to see her in pain.

haircut from miss ashton.

we started going to work a couple hours a week doing paperwork and such for a lady in our neighborhood.

this was an outfit of me and my sisters from when we were babes.

and same with this bonnet!! i had her wear this as often as possible because the back of her head!

i went to brunch with these two dears a few short days before ashton had her baby! prim loves aaron and just stares at him and smiles

lights to compliment our chairs.

in her big girl bed!

see what i mean about finding terrible places to sleep?

trying out this location for the 'baby makes three' picture. prim was into it. (those feet)

another hat from the old days.

we took this cute photo for nana's birthday

rocking on the glider in the backyard.

the baby!!!!!!! march 25th.

i walked into our room and bandit stood up and stretched. first and last time he ever did this.

trying rice cereal for the first time at 4.5 months. it was a bit thick...whoops.

poor ashton and aurora had a rough start. she kept getting told that she'd have to get a c section until they finally used the vacuum (eek), and got the baby out! then aurora had jaundice and had to stay in the hospital for a full week.

#sexyghost #lololololol 

dang, i wish i would have gotten a better photo of her in this outfit. we bought this the week before Prim was born. we were at the px looking at baby clothes and jon picked this out!
