This is going to say it was posted by Wes, but it was really posted by Jennifer. I have already uploaded the video and that took too long to log out of his name, log in under mine, and then upload it again. I edited this video all by myself and I am pretty impressed with the sweet transitions I added...thanks to iMovie!

Scarlett 3 Month Video
Okay, so we KNOW that Scarlett is 6 months old, but we have all of this adorable footage of her that we never posted. So, we'll catch up to the current Scarlett in about two to three blog posts. This video is about a week after our stuff arrived in Houston when Scarlett was 3 months. I know many of you would never have noticed but for those of you that do, we were still unpacking, hence the messy background in some of the shots.

Inchworm
Scarlett is going mobile. She recently learned to roll over and even more recently she learned to flip back (which is awesome because she used to just cry until we laid her on her back again). She is really on the move. When we put her in the crib she is never in the same place that we left her. In the last couple of days she has started to scrunch up and put her little butt in the air, then she scoots forward like a little inchworm. It's pretty cute.

Who's the Booey Wooest of Them All?
When my mom and Jerry came to visit us for my birthday, we went and got portraits done of Scarlett at JC Penney. Which was great fun, because we have lots of these from when I was a wee little baby. So, it was entertaining to compare some of them. Here are a few.
Look at these little cheeks, you can't help but gobble them up.
A smile for the family members who still haven't seen that!
"You have about 1.5 seconds to cuddle me, play with me, or stick a binky in my mouth!"
I love her little mouth, its surprisingly expressive.
"Look how good I'm getting at tummy time!"

Jennifer's Jaunty Movie Reviews
Last weekend, Wes and I watched a show called Remember Me. I've been thinking about it all week. This could be because I have VERY little social interaction right now! Whatever the reason, it really stuck with me. So, I decided to share my thoughts and opinions with my blog friends. I can't really discuss my feelings on this movie without talking about the ending. So, if you plan on watching it, you should probably stop reading now, because the ending will be spoiled (and that might decrease your enjoyment of the movie exponentially.)
I had heard of this movie and seen the trailers. However, I wasn't overly excited to see it. I think Rob makes an excellent Edward (most of the time) but I don't love him so much as an actor that I felt the need to rush out and see his newest flick. On a side note, I never thought the movie portrayal of Cedric Diggory did his character justice. Maybe that's got something to do with Rob's acting and maybe not...maybe it was just the screen play. Either way, this movie was not on my top to watch list. So, when it came in our Netflix, I had mediocre hopes for it and had no idea really what it was about. And I was pleasantly shocked and amazed.
The movie was all about people living real lives with real problems, just trying to make it from one day to the next. They had loved ones who died too young and too tragically. It was about families dealing with the fall out from death, divorce, depression . . . It centers around two young college kids who are both lonely and unhappy and they have their ups and downs. It seems like that's what the story's about. Two kids falling in love and growing up . . . and that would have been a fine movie. It wouldn't have been the first movie to have that as its premise. But in the end, this movie represents something much more. It represents one of the most tragic moments in US history. To me, it represented the lives lost. The people who were just people, just doing their thing, people having their own trials and successes only to have their time cut off too soon. I read some critics who thought it was a shameless ploy of forced emotion. I disagree. I thought they handled the catastrophe perfectly. We all saw the footage of those planes hitting the World Trade Center. We all saw the footage of people running and screaming. We all saw the footage of 1,000+ ft. tall buildings crash down to rubble. The makers of this movie knew that and they told us just what we needed to know. It ended before all that . . . leaving us with the knowledge of what came next. I love this movie because it was a portrayal of a nobody on September 11, 2001 in New York City and in doing that it represented everyone there that day; everyone who was in the Twin Towers and everyone who knew someone in the Twin Towers.
PG-13 for violence, sexual content, language and smoking
