Happy New Year!

Tonight we spent the evening with the Gill family. I especially liked hanging out with Natalie, and even though she's 14 months older than me, I think I'll be passing her up in height in no time. I guess she gets her length from her mom Denise :-) I feel asleep around 8:00, but decided I didn't want to miss the ball drop so woke up at 11:50....just in time. I can't wait for all the fun and exciting moments I'll get to experience in 2009!

Guess I got my New Year's kiss a bit early!

What a Rollercoaster I've Been On!

I think the excitement from the last few weeks has finally caught up with me, as you'll see how quickly I went from happy to sad tonight!

The usual happy side of me..aka "Mommy's Little Angel"

And then I decided to pout...if you remember, I brought this face out during Halloween...guess the holidays brings out the best in me!

The Johnson Family Christmas

Here are some picts from the Johnson Family Christmas!

Me in the "Johnny Jumper", which was so much fun. Hopefully mom and dad will get one for me so I can build my leg muscles for all that basketball I'll be playing some day.

All the cousins on the Johnson side!

Merry Christmas!

These Lights Are Great!

I just love staring at the Christmas Tree lights!

Aren't I Just the Little Artist

The following are my latest works of art I completed at daycare.

I Just Love Christmas!

Tonight I got to meet Uncle Tim, Auntie Kari & Cousins Sean & Katie! They stopped by my house while on their way from Iowa to Madison. Here are a few picts from the night.

Fernholz Christmas

Here are a few picts from the Fernholz Christmas:
The cousins that were able to make the celebration.

Opening my 1st present...this paper is so much fun. The happy family!

The two blue-eyed boys!

Opening all these presents sure tuckered me out!

Happy 19 Weeks Bday to Me!

Ho, Ho, Ho

Daddy picked me up from daycare today and we visited Mom's work, and guess who was there.....SANTA!!! I got to take my first picture with Santa. I was giving all kinds of smiles to Mom's coworkers, that when it came time to get my picture taken, I was all out of smiles :-) Mom said she was just happy I didn't cry!

4 Month Checkup

Today I had my 4 month checkup and passed with flying colors. I grew almost 5 inches and am now measuring 25 3/4" long. My weight went up 3 1/2 pounds to 15 lbs. 6 oz. I had to get 3 more shots, which I did not enjoy but was probably made worse because I was both hungry and due for a nap. Other than that, the doctor said I'm growing just perfect and can start eating Rice cereal whenever Mom & Dad decide they're ready for that challenge.

Little Brian or Little Julie???

For the last 4 months, everyone has said I look like daddy, but in recent weeks, mom keeps telling me she's finally seeing a little "Fernholz" in me. We'll let you be the judge!

Yes, dad had his 2nd haircut at 7 1/2 months...guess I didn't get "all my hair" from him :-)

Wow I've got cute feet!

I've recently discovered 'my little piggies', as mom likes to call them. So I tend to make diaper changing a bit more difficult for her since I always want to play with my toes.

Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

After a few weeks of intense practice, I finally mastered the skill of rolling over today! I'm still having a little trouble getting my arm out from under me, but I'm sure that will be perfected in no time. Now if I can only figure out how to rollerover to my back, I'll be in business.
