All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

Its December! Just a couple weeks before Christmas and I put up the tree! Its beginning to feel more like Christmas here, although we don't have any snow yet! I hope we get some soon so we can have a white Christmas.

We asked Santa for a tooth for Christmas, and I guess he thought you were extra good and gave you 2 teeth early! On the 5th and 6th you got both your bottom teeth! Now you can really bite into your cookies and mummas boobies! Ouch!

Your cruising around the furniture like a pro and can stand alone for quite a while but still aren't walking alone. I know it will be any day now! Your so smart... You are always talking and even your baby babble sounds like words now!

Merry Christmas my snow angel. I love you

Dada

It's November now and you had your first Halloween. You were so adorable in your seal costume! I loved to watch you crawl around with your little flipper in the back!

You finally said Dada! He is so very happy and proud! You've also tried to stand alone and have been successful...even if it was only for a minute!

You finally had a doctor visit and we were surprised to find you only gained 2 oz in the last 3 months. Your current weight is 16 pounds 2 oz but gained an inch leaving you at 27 inches long.
I think it must be all the crawling you do now!

We started feeding you stage 3 along with stage 2 and added a meal of cereal at bedtime. You don't really like the beechnut stage 3 because its too thick. Gerber keeps you happy.
You've also started using a sippy cup and although sometimes you need help to tip the cup back, you are doing pretty well with it. You love juice!

I love you punkin

She is moble!

Its October already! I can't believe your 8 months old and soo big! We haven't gone to the doctor yet so I don't know how much you weigh. I'm guessing probably 17 and half pounds. What happened to my tiny little baby?

We rearranged the living room to give you more room to crawl and play. Your a master in your walker now, scooted everywhere...including on mumma's toes!!! You also learned you can walk if you hold on Mumma's hands!

Bath time is a favorite nighttime activity. You can bathe in the big tub alone now and enjoy splashing in the water. You hate to have your head wet or have the water be cold but other then that, bath time is fun time! You even pooped in the tub for the first time...ew!

Will you stop growing for mumma please? I love all the new things you do, but your growing up way too fast!!

I love you

From New Jersey to New Hampshire, throw in a little Vermont and you are a long distance Traveller!

We don't have a weight check this month. Your so active now! You started to crawl and last night Daddy found you standing in your crib! Time to move the mattress down! I am amazed by what you do and say now! Your new words are bye bye, uh oh, and no! You even wave when you say bye bye.

You were a big hit in Long Island! Everyone loved you! It was a long drive but you did great!

You survived your first weekend away from home and after a little battle, your finally back to your schedule. Even though its September and the leaves are all changing to bright beautiful colours, its still nice and warm out. We can take more walks now and I enjoy listening to you talk as we go for a stroll.

You've gone through all the stage 1 foods, and although you didn't like bananas or peaches, everything else was pretty good. You've started stage 2 and like pretty much everything you've had! Especially turkey and rice!

Our car broke down so we sold it and we bought a new car! We had to drive all the way to New Hampshire to pick it up! Although it didn't have a radio, and that sucked for the long ride home, its a nice red 2000 Ford Focus. Daddy loves it! This car makes us happy because its a lot safer for you.

It was a busy month, full of new tastes and accomplishments.

I love you Elizabeth!

Peaches are nasty

Your now 16 pounds and 26 inches long! So big, I can't believe it!
You've started to eat stage 1 baby food and so far have had sweet potato, bananas, squash and peaches. You really liked the veggies but didn't care much for bananas and REALLY hated the peaches! Your also sitting up all on your own like a big girl! No more swing or bouncy chair for you! You love your Johnny jump up and you just got a walker AND a hop-n-pop! You can only walk backwards in the walker but love to hop-n-pop!
We are going on a big long trip with Grammie and Grampie in a couple days to Long Island. This will be your first trip away from home and daddy! Daddy's cousin Tina is getting married and you will meet many new people and relatives. They will all just love you! I know I do!
You started to say Mumma! Its the most beautiful thing I've ever heard!

I love you baby girl...please stay a baby forever?

Happy Birthday Chris!

Your now 5 months old and I can't believe how much you've grown! Your 15lbs 5oz and 25 inches long!
Its getting very hot outside and inside too! We need to love it while it lasts because winter will be here before we know it! I wish I could take you outside more but its just way to hot for you and me! You amazed my by rolling from your back to your tummy! Now you can roll around the whole floor to get where you want! You also started laughing when we do something funny...like sneezing! Daddy's birthday was yesterday and you had lots of fun playing with Aunt Julie and Uncle Tim.

Your new very favorite thing to do is swim in the big tub with Mumma!

After a couple nights of tears, your falling asleep on your own in your crib now! We still sleep together on the couch but not until early morning. I love every minute we are together, especially when your asleep on my chest. I love the way you smell, your soft skin and how every inch of you is kissable.

I love you, sweet princess.

Little Biker Babe

Your currently 14 lbs 4oz and 24.5 inches long. Mumma had her first Mothers Day and Daddy spoiled her with a new Playstation2!
I'll teach you how to play it some day. You like to watch the cartoons on the games! You've also started to eat cereal! You weren't sure about it at first but are getting the hang of swallowing the thicker stuff.

We also took our first road trip this month! We went to Bolton Landing on Lake George to meet the Orange County Choppers! We watched them on TV and now you've met them! You have pictures with Paul Sr and Jr and also Mikey, Vinnie and Cody! Mikey was playing with your little neck! You did great on the long drive and even in the hot sun!

Mommy and Daddy celebrated their first anniversary!

Keep growing little girl! I love you!

CRASH!

Your growing like a beautiful flower!!
Last checkup you were 11 lbs 12 oz and 22 inches long! Your starting to smile, mostly in your sleep but its very cute! Your favorite things now are to take baths with Mumma and snuggling in the rocking chair. You grow more and more beautiful every day! And your eyes are big and black just like Mumma.

We got into a car accident on April 7th. It was very scary but you didn't get hurt! You cried because you were scared but after you were happy and cooing at everyone. We had to get you a new carseat, its much bigger but will last until your a big girl!

You had your first set of shots today and ohh you cried sooo loud and broke my heart! You made mommy cry almost as hard as you did!

We also moved to the big apartment! Now we have a couch, stove and big fridge!

I love you so much Princess!

Moving

We are moving from the cramped little apartment to a bigger one down the hall. This one has a real kitchen with a stove, full size fridge, table, larger living area with a couch and more space for the bed and Elizabeth's stuff. It has a lot of windows which we can open in the summer and get some breeze in here. We are over the bar more so the noise will be more of an issue but I'm just glad to get out of the little apartment.

Getting the hang of this mother stuff

You've grown to 9lbs 13oz and 21 inches long! You make every day so much brighter!
We have totally got the breastfeeding thing down and I enjoy it so much. I will be going back to work soon and am very sad to leave you with someone else. Daddy and Auntie Sara will take turns watching you while I'm at work. We have gone to Grammie and Grampies a lot and they just love you! I love you sweet precious Elizabeth!

Introducing Elizabeth Catherine Boggie

Welcome to the world my sweet beautiful angel! We went to the hospital on February 9th and I was induced with a small little pill at 8am. After a couple hours, I really started to feel the contractions and then the Doctor broke my water at noon. Then the contractions really started! I was allowed to walk the halls for a while and that helped a bit. Around 4pm I was allowed to go into the birthing suite and the nurse filled up the jaccuzi for me. Oh it was heaven! I didn't want to get out and stayed in for over an hour. Then the epidural man came in to give me some pain medicine to help with the bad contractions I was feeling. After hours of breathing and trying to sleep, they cranked up some Pitocin to help the contractions. Daddy left to take a nap at Grammies and she and Aunt Melly came to stay with me while he was gone. At 5am, I was in alot of pain and asked Daddy to come back. I was only at 6 cm after 21 hours so they really pushed in the Pitocin and cranked up the epidural some more. At 6:30 I started to feel some pressure. I called for the nurse and she came to check me. 10 cm and ready to go! The nurses started getting the room ready and called for the Doctor. He was at home so I started pushing without him! At 6:50am, he strolled into the room and the nurse yelled at him to get a gown on or his clothes were going to be very messy. He got there just in time to help as I gave on final push. At 6:52 am, after only 4 pushes, you were born! He put you on my chest and Daddy cut the cord. The nurse moved you to the warmer and cleaned and weighed you while your Daddy stood closely by! After a couple minutes, Daddy got to hold you and gently put you into my arms. We tried breastfeeding right away and you latched on and started to suck like a pro! Your perfect little face, fingers and toes...you are so beautiful!

I got to take you home today. Its so nice to be out of the hospital and now we can really spend some time getting to know each other. My milk came down yesterday and now your starting to really nurse well.


I love you so much sweet angel! I can't wait to spend everyday with you!

The day is set!

OK, well I'm about 80% sure we are going to have you tomorrow! Its a long time coming and I'm so totally ready to see you Elizabeth! I'm very nervous but I know I can do this!

What do I want to happen?I'm hoping everything will go well and you will be born around 7 or 8 pm. I know you will be perfect and healthy!

I'm guessing you will be about 8 pounds 9 oz and maybe 21 inches long.

The last 9 months have been hard but amazing. First flutters turning into kicks. Seeing the first sonogram then finding out your a girl! Watching my tummy move as you squirm around inside me. I know you will be worth all the morning sickness and uncomfort, you already are and I haven't even seen you yet! I'm just ready to hold you in my arms, touch you and smell you.

Ohh I hope I can sleep tonight...I know I'm going to be so nervous and not sleep but oh well...HEY WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!

Its almost time!
