Memorial Day Weekend and Swimming!

Scarlett had a big weekend, including two visits to the Club for swimming and fun in the sun. First off, Daddy had to explain to Scarlett how to swim.



Some words of encouragement from Mom, pink hat on, and she's ready to dive right in!



Or maybe not. After a brief and teary dip in the pool, we headed home with plans to try again a few days later. Swimming is exhausting!



It's a new day! And Scarlett has a new bathing suit and hat!



Harper and Campbell gave her a pep talk -- the second time will be the charm. Let's DO this!!



Well ... maybe swimming is an acquired taste. Perhaps golf is more her thing.



But after coming home and getting all cleaned up, she seems no worse for the wear!

Four month checkup

Scarlett had her four month appointment yesterday. Dr. Curry says she's doing great. She weighs 16 pounds 8 ounces (95th percentile), is 26 inches long (95th percentile), and her head is 17 inches (90th percentile). He said given her size we can start her on rice cereal whenever we are ready, but we'll probably wait a few weeks. She got two shots and screeched for about 10 seconds but was quickly over it. Dr. Curry put two Tweety Bird band aids on her chubby thighs and we were on our way! We'll see him again in two months for her six month appointment.

Guess what, Winnie? I'm four months old. That's 28 in dog months.


Silly girl.


Ok, enough with the pictures already!

Whatcha lookin at, Scarlett?


Once again rocking the legwarmers. You're so retro, Scarlett.

One month old! (February 21, 2010)

Every month on the 21st, we take pictures of Scarlett with her month stickers. A few quick catch-up posts ...

Is that a hint of a smile?


Nice legwarmers, Scarlett!


Look at that sweet face ...

Love at First Sight

Right off the bat, Scarlett had some very important business to tend to ... she needed to meet her biggest fans!

Hello, Grandma!


How's it going, Papa Tig?


What's up, Mimi?


Nice to meet you, Grandpa!


Hi there, BB!


And finally, here is a sweet pic of Daddy getting to know his little girl.
