today when i pulled up to mallory’s daycare, she was out for a walk in the parking lot. i started to giggle seeing her sitting in the 4-kid stroller and had to run back to the car to get my camera phone. when i came back, she had her hands up ~ it totally looked like she was in a roller-coaster car, saying “look ma, no hands!!!”

family photo
for as many pictures that we take of mallory, in the past 4+ months we have only taken two pictures of all three of us. so when we had mallory’s 3-mo pictures taken last month, we had some photos taken with rick & me too. here we are!! :-)
already a rinkrat
i had my end-of-season hockey tournament this past weekend and our team was hosting it again. this meant that our manager/captain basically lived at the rink for the whole weekend and mallory & i were there to help almost the whole weekend. mallory helped check in all the players at the sign-in table in the hospitality room and was very agreeable to being passed around to all of my teammates. we didn’t get super-great sleep out of her the nights after being at the rink but while we were at the rink, she was very enjoyable. it is so nice …
smart baby girl
i can’t help but brag about our smart baby girl…she is already reading!!!
food!!!
we got the green light from the pediatrician to start MC on rice cereal. i think it had more to do with spending the one-on-one time with her and less to do with her being “ready”. the pediatrician made some comments about both rick & i working and doing whatever we can to make sure that dinner time is special, etc. either way, i was excited to get started!
i had mallory take a little nap after her appointment which she was happy to do once i gave her a little tylenol (she got 3 shots again at this appointment) so that she …
mallory got hit by a train
so we got our first accident report from daycare yesterday: mallory got hit by a train. a slow-moving toy train, but a train none-the-less. she had a tiny red mark under her eye which was gone before i could get a picture. the bump looked appropriate seeing as how she is going to be a rinkrat all weekend!
i forgot!
i forgot to post that mallory made it to her first UM hockey game on Friday night! she LOVED it, except when Michigan scored. i don’t think it was because she was upset that UM scored, i think it was mostly because of the loud crowd. luckily we didn’t go to the saturday night game when UM scored 8 goals.
the best part is that she handled being up past her bedtime beautifully, thank goodness.
it's tough being 4 months
rick put mallory in her exersaucer today and turned around to start making himself some lunch. he came back to check on her a minute later and found her passed out in her seat. rough life, eh? maybe the time change screwed her up.
yesterday we had a playdate with one of my pre-natal yoga moms and her husband and their 7-mo old son Kyle. jen & i actually went to college together and ran into eachother at the yoga class (embarrasing for me because for as good as my memory is with regard to numbers and dates i am sometimes bad …
"The Mal"
check out the fancy robe that mallory’s grandma made her. here she is practicing standing up in her new robe.
she has started to find her toes and likes to grab at them whenever possible. tonight in the bath, she was grabbing her feet and she then let them go and they made a HUGE splash. so she did it again…and again…and again. we can’t wait to get her into the water this summer!!
on a side note…could she look any more like rick? sweet jesus!
a 4 month old pumpkin
luckily our pumpkin hasn’t turned all mushy and attracted mice like how a real pumpkin would at 4 months old.
this sweet baby of ours really is growing up too fast. we are starting to get some real giggles (as opposed to the laughs that really sounded like coughs) and mallory is *thisclose* to rolling over from back to front. seeing as how she isn’t a big fan of being on her tummy, and is unable to roll from her tummy to her back, she’ll be pretty fired up if she ever gets her hips all the way around. hahaha.
this sweet baby …
