WARNING: EXTREME PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!

Make sure you take a look at the previous several posts from the last two days! It has been forever since I took the time to blog so I worked hard to cram it all in! This is my last post for a while so I can breathe now!




I take thousands of pictures (literally) of this little beauty every month and I seriously limited the ones I am posting to my favorites! I know that's hard to believe but I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do!



Lately Berkley has been clasping her hands together! So adorable! This is what she looks like when whe purses her lips and spits too! I love it!



Yummy tootsies! She loves to put her feet in her mouth!


Sleepy girl lounging around!



Can't get enough of the otterpops!



She wanted to control the TV!



Such a cute little fishy!



HAHA! I took the picture mid-sneeze! I love it!



Our princess chilling in her stroller while mommy and daddy hit some balls at the driving range!



Cute summer outfit from grandma! Berkley loved eating the ruffle!



Yummy lemon! She actually seemed to like it, which isn't a huge surprise with how much I craved lemons while I was pregnant with her!





Trying to grab my phone...she's obsessed with electronics!



So cute and summery!



Playing with Ellie's dolly! I hope she learns not to hold a baby by squeezing its head with her feet! She loved putting her feet on the dolly!



Getting ready to eat some yummy food!



She loves to pull up her shirts and dresses! It's so cute and funny!



I love this cute little face!





Playing with toys! I love that she can entertain herself with toys now! It's so nice!



My cute little sweet pea!



So stylin in her shades!



Berkley loved playing with her prunes! She was so messy...and proud of it too!



She loves to play with the flower toy on her activity center! She's so cute in it!



Playing her piano!



She fell asleep in the car and when we got in the store I uncovered her and found her finger in her mouth! When she woke up she started chewing on it and got a confused look on her face and then pulled it out! It was so funny!



She loves to stick her feet up in the air when she's in her carseat! Cute, cute, cute!



Such a sweet, happy baby!



HAHA! I love how she has her finger pressed into her face!



Cute little RoCkStAr!



Cute little sleepyhead!



At breakfast with mommy and daddy!



Our little flower!



Sweet, sleepy baby!



I think she's trying to lick it! She loves her bumpy ball!



Have you noticed that she likes to sprawl out when she's asleep? She's so funny!



I love the surprised look on her face!



Sleeping so peacefully in her crib!



Chewing on her tongue! She does this a lot lately! Dang teething!



I absolutely love this face she's making! Playing with her dress again!



Smiling with her tongue out! I love this picture!



So stinkin sweet!



Cute outfit! I love these little white shoes! She has such tiny feet though! These are newborn size and they are still too big and she's almost 6 months old! Crazy!



Such a sweet smile after just waking up!



So sweet and peaceful! She really is a very happy baby!



Such a sad face! It makes me laugh cause it's so cute!



Grandma's sweetheart!



Who, me?!



I think she was thinking, "Why am I up and dressed so dang early?!"



So pretty!



The cute little outfit our friend, Sam, made for Berkley! Notice how the onesie is practically see-through because of all the drool!



The onesie grandma brought back from Vegas!



I love how she has her arm above her head! This is exactly how her daddy sleeps!



She gets buried in the cart more often than I like to admit! One time I was shopping at Smith's and she made some noise and another shopper looked at me and said, "I didn't even see her in there! I thought you were just talking to yourself!" It was pretty funny! I actually had so much stuff that I started giving her the light things to hold for me and dumped a gallon of milk out of the bottom of my basket not once, not twice, but THREE times! I think Aaron will have to come along on those big shopping trips from now on!




The cutest little Utes fan ever!



The pretty dress from grandma!



Daddy's little princess sprawled out again!

BERKLEY: an update and 3 month pics!

So these are the beautiful pictures that our friend, Heather, took for us when Berkley was 3 months old. I can't believe that it's already almost been 3 months since they were done but we love them so we have to share them!


Even though she's 3 months in these pictures I am going to share her 4 month stats in this post too! At her 4 month appointment she weighed 14 lbs 8.5 oz and was 24 3/4 inches long with a head circumference of 40.5 cm. She was in the 75th percentile for height and weight and the 40th percentile for head circumference. She is just absolutely perfect...not too chubby and not too skinny, JUST RIGHT!


We started cereal on the day that she turned 4 months old and she did pretty good with it. Now she eats a fruit or vegetable (full container!) and a bowl of rice cereal mixed with formula and applesauce each day! She LOVES to eat anything and everything!


One of her absolute favorite things to eat is otterpops, just like her daddy! She actually will cry if she knows that we're eating them without sharing...so funny and cute! She even recognizes the crushing noise when we bite some off so there's no hiding the otterpops from her! Bread is another favorite and she has started being able to put the Gerber puffs in her mouth by herself! She's a messy eater but she's so stinkin cute! Yesterday she was actually making chewing motions in her sleep instead of sucking! It was hilarious!


Even with all of her eating she seems to be staying about the same size. Why? This little girl never stops moving! She loves rolling from her back to her side and going back and forth like this! She hasn't done a complete roll from her back to her tummy yet but she loves to just lay on her side and play. We're pretty sure she can finish but she's just content on her side and doesn't want to. She definitely knows what she wants and does what she wants to do!


She also loves playing in her activity center. She shakes her toys and throws them and spins around in her little chair to play with all of the fun things! This reminds me, yesterday I put her in the car and gave her a rattle which she promptly grabbed and threw at me, almost making it fall out of the car. Later, Aaron gave her the same toy and she threw it out of her carseat again so I am convinced that it wasn't a coincidence! Little stinker!


I would have to say that Berkley's favorite things to do lately are to purse her lips and spit/blow bubbles and to play with her feet! Last night she actually grabbed her foot and was putting it in her mouth WHILE I was feeding her! Luckily I was able to get her foot down before she succeeded but still!


We love our perfect little Berkley SO much and can't believe how quickly she is maturing and developing into a little girl! We are excited for the fun things to come and are so thankful for our angel!

Berkley loves her mommy!

I get to spend a lot of time with my cute little Berkey Bug and I LOVE it! Being a stay-at-home mom is not only amazing, but it is a huge blessing in my life and I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for making it financially possible for me to stay home with my angel!


This is one of my favorite pictures of Berkley and I! It was taken on Mother's Day. It was the best first Mother's Day ever! I woke up to breakfast in bed, my hubby got me some cute clothes and the most precious card ever! I loved it!


Going jogging together!


Berkley at the end of her first 5K...ZONKED! She was asleep pretty much the whole time. She seriously loves to be outside and she loves her stroller!


Swimming for the first time ever at the Clearfield Aquatic Center! Berkley truly is the cutest little water bug ever! I loved seeing how much she loved the pool!


Lounging around in the hot tub! She fell asleep minutes later! So precious!


Falling asleep while mommy and daddy read scriptures! I love snuggling my little bug!


One second she was awake and playing and the next she was asleep in my arms! So cute!
