Sequoia at 5 months

She just keeps getting cuter and cuter! At five months Sequoia's chubby little thighs really fill out the leg holes on her Bumbo chair (she's almost gotten stuck in it a couple times). Her three favorite toys are her Space Tube, her bear book from Grandma and Grandpa, and the kitties (when she can get a hold of them). She is now a pro at rolling over both ways, sucking on her thumbs and toes, sitting up with some support, and going on long outings with Mommy and Daddy.

She has had a very full month of going to the Zoo and visiting the Aquarium and the beach for the very first time. Check out these pictures of our little explorer!

4 Months Old--So Many New Tricks!

At about four months old, Sequoia started rolling over one way really well, holding her head up so she could try out sitting in her pink Bumbo chair, and getting up on her elbows to try and crawl.

Her dexterity greatly improved over this month, and her repertoire of toys increased. What a sweet little one!

Also her Daddy shaved for the first time since he grew in his mustache back in junior high--check out these cute pictures of Sequoia with her silly Daddy!

Ready for big girl clothes (3 months old)

Sequoia finally fit into her two piece outfits...ooh such a cutie pie! We also set up her high chair so we could finally eat dinner together at the the table. She loves sitting in her high chair--it became a game of 'lock and load--ready for blast off!' Our little future astronaut =)

We also started taking outings to the grocery store and the mall together to start getting her used to being around a lot of people. She's been the favorite baby at the grocery store ever since.

Check out these cute pictures of the little growing girl.

Happy 12 week old girl

Sequoia started smiling and sitting up against our legs around this time. We also bought her a little Rainforest play chair that she absolutely loved (and still really enjoys now).

We really enjoyed this new level of interaction with our little girl. She is such an absolute joy!

Sequoia girl 8-10 weeks

Little Sequoia absolutely loved flying around in Daddy's arms during these early weeks. I can't believe how tiny she was. Back then she couldn't do a whole lot on her own, but we had so much fun just carrying her around like good Mommy and Daddy taxis.

Please enjoy these pictures of little Sequoia with her cute little round face.

Introducing Sequoia

Sequoia entered our lives on February 24th, 2007 after 40 weeks and two days of anticipation. She weighed 7 lbs 9oz and was 19 inches long. She was also covered in fuzzy dark hair, and when she finally opened her eyes, we saw that they were baby slate grey. Thankfully for me, it was a relatively easy and short labor.

We spent one night in the hospital and then were more than ready to get this little one to her new home and introduce her to the awaiting kitties. Over the next pretty sleepless week, we tried getting use to being parents with the help of Sequoia's Grandma Margaret and Grandpa Mark.

Page Under Construction

Hello Family and Friends of Sequoia!

We're following in Laura, Mike, and Addie Ray's footsteps, and setting up a blog for little Sequoia. Since I still have another week until I'm a full time stay-at-home mommy, the page will be under construction for a while. We're looking forward to sharing all our stories and pictures with you all!

Love,
Katie, Dan, and Sequoia
