Updating long over due!!!

I know- it has been too long since the last blog! I really have been meaning to write an update, but there have been so much going on here it has not been a priority. However, things seem to be calming down and I can focus on our REAL priority- Roselyn. Roselyn went with Rob and I to Dahlonega to celebrate our 7th anniversary. This year was definitely more low key due to the money crunch, but having Roselyn there made it so much more worthwhile. First, on Friday February 13th we visited Brandon and Christy Bellamy and their sons Brennan and Brooks. Roselyn enjoyed seeing her "boyfriends" again and they were nice enough to share their toys, excersaucer, and door bouncer. Oh, and they lent her a sleeper after she pooped all in her dress she wore to meet them:) The night ended with the parents talking and the kids watching a video on barnyard animals. All in all, a great night! In Dahlonega we always stay at the Lily Creek Lodge. Unfortunately, the innkeepers where not there- but that just means we will have to come back another time for them to meet Roselyn. Saturday we visited several of the wineries in Dahlonega. Roselyn was a hit everywhere we went. People kept making comments like "she is precious" or "she is so cute". Since Roselyn stayed in her car seat the entire time she spent most of her time napping. She did have to get out of her car seat for me to feed her, which I need in the car in the Wal-Mart parking lot. For dinner, we all went to a local Cajun restaurant (very romantic for a Valentine's dinner, huh?) Roselyn again, was in her car seat- observing and sleeping. Roselyn did get out of her car seat for breakfast at the bed and breakfast- when but her in her bumbo at the table. Bed time was interesting. We were all accustomed to Roselyn being in her own room. Roselyn had a hard time going to sleep in the same room as us, but with patience (and a pacifier) she finally went to sleep Friday and Saturday nights.
There are no real developmental updates. Roselyn is still rolling to one side, but not all the way over. She still does not like being on her belly, but we are working on it:) She continues to notice her rattle and other toys more and more. She also is working harder at putting her pacifier back in her mouth. She tends to place it in backwards- but it is still getting to her mouth. Eventually I am sure she will have all sorts of things in her mouth:)
