Much Ado About Something!

Today Marissa is 4 months old!  Yep, she is 1/3 of a year old.  In 4 months she has learned so much.  From discovering she has hands (and a thumb that is oh so yummy), to smiling, to laughing, rolling from her belly to her back and rolling from her back to her belly (she did this for the first time yesterday)!  She has melted our hearts and given us the best gift you could ever ask for.  I will have her 4 month stats on the 4th when she goes to the pediatrician.  I'm estimating that she will weigh about 13 pounds.

 We have also discovered that we don't like socks...and we kick them off every chance we get!

Speaking of pounds, I've lost a few more!  I now have 6 pounds to go until I reach my pre-pregnancy weight.  If you are one of those ladies who just sheds the pounds after child birth, good for you.  I however, am one of those ladies that it took 9 months to gain the weight and it will probably take 9 months to lose the weight.  And I'm perfectly okay with that.

New Year's Eve is literally right around the corner!  We have no definitive plans, I guess it's just not on our top priority list this year.  We may go out to an early dinner with friends and reside at our home or a friend's to watch the ball drop, drink champagne and bring in the New Year.

I'm loving my new camera.  I am taking a 12 week course to better photography and I've learned a lot so far. I still have a looong ways to go though, but at least some of the lingo is no longer a foreign language to me.  There's this lens that I'm eye balling, in the photography world they call it the "thrifty fifty."  Now why they call it the thrifty fifty?  I don't know, because it costs about $200.00.  I have a $50.00 Visa gift card from Christmas, so I really only need an additional $150.00.  I'm trying to convince Danny to let me go buy it but he thinks I should work with what I have for the time being.  Boo, he's no fun!  He told me to conjure up something to sell on Craigslist.  Hmmm.... ::rubbing hands together::  Dang it, I'm drawing a blank!  I have no idea what I could sell on Craigslist for $150.00.  I'll keep working on the hubs, he'll cave when he wants something in exchange.  :)

We had a little visitor yesterday.  Auntie C came to visit all the way from South Korea!  It was a short visit, but a visit, no less.  This will be the last time we get to see her in person until next November.  So there were lots of snuggles, coffee and she brought us a few gifts from her far away land.

 Popular Korean Beer and bowls that they drink out of

 Are these shoes not the cutest thing you've ever seen?  Marissa is stylin'!

I wish I had a pair of these for me. 

 Nap time

It was a good visit, just not long enough.  Thanks again, C, for our South Korean presents! :-D

Happy New Year if I don't blog again before then, may you bring in the New Year with the ones you love the most!
