Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

 It’s been a busy summer for the Foley’s! Piper and I spent the first week of September in Ohio and Indiana visiting friends and family, it was a great trip but too short! And last week we spend a few days with the family cruising the Gulf of Mexico and visiting Cozumel!! We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to fall and fall weather!  In November we are going on our annual trip to Gatlinburg Tennessee to spend the weekend in the Smokies- shopping, eating, hiking and watching football! We have been going a few years now and I can’t wait to take Piper and maybe even see some snow! Piper continues to grow every day; she is such a little character! She loves to be loud-screaming, grunting, squealing…so much for a quiet little princess. I think we officially have a tomboy!  Unfortunately her size and round chubby face get her confused for a boy most of the time so bows are a must these days! She has such a goofy, playful personality just like her daddy. I think I’m going to have my hands full with the two of them! She loves to play with Louie and Thomas always smiling and talking to them.  And dada has become a very popular word in our house, still working on mama. I swear the only time I hear “mom” is when she screams lol. I’ve added some pictures below from the summer, enjoy!

Happy 4th!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4^th! We had a great Holiday with family and watching Piper celebrate her first July 4^th! She spent the weekend playing with cousins, swimming at Nana and Papaws and watching fireworks. In 6 days, Piper will turn 5 months! I can’t believe how much she has grown and what a little personality she has developed. She loves to smile, play and swing! She has rolled over a few times now and can sit-up with very little support. She loves the dogs more and more everyday and has even got a hold of Louie’s hair a few times but fortunately it doesn’t bother him, yet! We are so blessed to have such a great little girl; she has been sleeping through the night for a few weeks and has a pretty good schedule going.  She is a great little swimmer already, kicking and splashing. We are going to start a mommy and me swimming class in a few months when she is old enough and we cannot wait! She is such a water bug already and I know she will love it. I will keep you all posted and have some pictures to share. That’s all for now!

3mths 2wks & 4 days

What an amazing 3+months it has been! Piper is growing more and more every day, she weighed in at nearly 14lbs 2 weeks ago and 24 inches long. Watching her develop mentally and physically has been so enjoyable. She loves to coo and make faces, especially smile :) The exersaucer has become her new best friend; she loves to sit and study all the objects and has learned how to play. The dogs have caught her attention too; she follows them with her eyes and has even reached out to touch them. Hopefully that means we have another dog lover in the house, I'm sure she will be. We are still working on tummy -time, it’s not her favorite thing at the moment but hopefully the more movement she has it will be better. Below are some recent pictures, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

8wks.11lbs.13oz

Piper is now 8 weeks old and growing not only in weight but in personality! She was 11lbs 13 oz and 22 inches long at her 2 month check up. She is alert and smiling more and more each day and we are loving every minute of it. Today, Piper met her cousins for the first time...it was very fun and exciting. We are looking forward to introducing her to the rest of the family the end of the month and all our friends back in Indiana and Ohio! Here are some recent pictures of our little Piper :)

10 pounder

Piper was 10lbs at her last check in, 5 weeks on March 18th! She is slowly developing her own little personality and keeping mommy and daddy busy, she laughed out load for the first time this week and it was adorable! It's going to be an exciting month for her; we just arrived at Nana and Papaws house in Alabama and will be staying a week while daddy is off in Houston for work. Then at the end of the month we will be in Indiana and Ohio visiting friends and family. We are all very excited.

Mommy, Daddy and baby Piper

Today Piper is 1 month old! The last 4 weeks have flown by; I can't believe how much she has grown over the last few weeks. At her last appt, she was 8.7lbs but we go back next Friday and I'm thinking that number has increased a bit. She looks and feels a lot bigger!

Bathtime!

Piper LuAnn Foley

Kevin and I would like to invite ya'll to share in our latest adventure, parenthood! We feel this blog will allow us to keep in touch with our friends and family near and far. And hopefully allow you all to join us in watching Piper grow!

We welcomed Piper LuAnn into this world on February 11, 2011. My original due date was February 24th but she blessed us with an early arrival. Weighing in at 8lbs 5 oz and 20.5 inches long, Piper was ready to make her debut after 17 hours of labor.
