Kingzlee is 3 months old!!

Kingzlee is all smiles on her 3 month birthday!!!
With Mommy before church
On her sheep!
Justin went hunting from Thursday-Sunday so Kinglzee and I (and the dogs) went to Gothenburg to hang out with Aunt Marci and Grandma. Here she is with Marci's friend Laura, making eyes at Aunt Marci!
Flirting again with Marci's friends.
Grandma and Kingzlee doing their favorite thing-rocking and snuggling! Actually Kingzlee's very favorite activity with Grandma is when she sings 'Jesus Loves Me' to Kingzlee-loud and off key! It makes her stop crying every time!!!
Holding her rattle while staring at Aunt Marci!
Giving Daddy many smiles in her new State Teez shirt!
Focusing during tummy time!
She is really filling out her bassinet-soon she will be too big! She sleeps in her crib (all night!) but naps in her bassinet often.

Daddy took some photos of our hands with the night vision setting on the camera.
She loves to fall asleep cheek to cheek with Mommy!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!
We have so much to be thankful for and are amazed daily at this little miracle that God has blessed us with!

Thursday, Andrea and I went to Kearney to shop and for lunch. Bruce was at The Venue and was able to meet Kingzlee for the first time! He has two daughters at home and is expecting twin boys soon! After their arrival, they will have 4 children under 4.5 years old! WOW!!!
Andrea feeding Kingzlee at The Venue, Kingzlee kept watching Andrea and smiling while she was eating!
On Wednesday, Justin's parents and Grandparents came out for lunch and to see Kingzlee. It was all fun and games until Kingzlee had a blow out and she was sent right back to Mom to clean her up!!!

Weekly update

Kingzlee smiling at Daddy
Her eyelashes seem to grow daily! I have even had people ask me if I curl them (for the record, I do not!).
We were in Lincoln this weekend for the game and enjoyed dinner Saturday night with our parents, friends from Kansas City and from Omaha. You can see the stroller towards the back of the photo, Kingzlee slept through most of dinner so we could enjoy!!!
Kingzlee in her new Ed Hardy outfit.
With Gma Pam at dinner
Kingzlee has officially attended her first Husker football game at 11 weeks of age! Tom and Nancy were kind enough to ask us to sit in their suite during the game. It was a cold, cold day on Saturday so it was perfect, and since the Huskers beat KU, it was even better!!! This was the first time that Tom and Nancy and their family met Kingzlee.
With Justin's cousin Suzanne and her husband Jason. Jason was a champ with Kingzlee, even held her while she was crying and put her to sleep!!!
With Justin's cousin Ann.
Gma Shar, Kingzlee and I before the game. Justin had Mom sit in the suite with Kingzlee and I which was nice. Truth be told, I think he was looking forward to the afternoon with the boys and away from wife and daughter!!! He sat in our regular seats in the cold!!!
Kingzlee in her State Teez shirt and hoodie before the game.
Kingzlee met Sioux City Sue (my pledge baby from our sorority, maid of honor in our wedding, and dear friend) for the first time! She melted Sue's heart by falling asleep in her arms!
Sue, Kingzlee and Justin before the game. Notice Justin's use of the cup holder on the stroller?!?!?!
Kingzlee, Sue and I at the Embassy before the game.
Friday night, we had dinner with Travis and his girlfriend Jacy in Lincoln. He didn't last long holding her because she was hungry and crying!!!

Busy Week!

I had my gallery opening at Graham Gallery on Saturday night. The week was busy getting ready for the show. I had approx 135 pieces of jewerly there, most of which I have made since Kingzlee was born!!! I will have more photos from the show on my blog at www.ali-o.com. Here is Kingzlee and me at the show.
We used live models for the highest end jewelry. I painted canvas sketches of each piece which are shown on the wall next to the models.
After the show, my birthday club hung out for a while at the gallery then we went down the street for a friend's birthday party. Kingzlee went along for the ride!!
BDay club hanging out with Kingzlee after the show.
Kingzlee's first Halloween was spent setting up the show at Graham Gallery. I figured she doesnt know about Halloween nor care at this point and dressing her up is more for the entertainment value of adults-so we spared her. She did have a Halloween onsie on the morning of Halloween that lasted about 30 minutes before she had a blow-out and soiled the outfit!!! Here is Angela and I after the show was set up-long night!!!
Kingzlee Mom and Dad at Graham Gallery
Kingzlee prefers to hang out without any pants on!!!
She is full of smiles, especially in the morning
Kingzlee loves her baths!

With Daddy wearing her 'DAD' shirt

We get more smiles daily!!!
