When I grow up I want to be just like my
Daddy!

Happy Valentine's Day

Kisses to you! Happy Valentine's Day!

Peek-a-boo!

I see you!

Sitting

I have been working my sitting muscles all week. Just look at me! My Mommy thinks I look just like a little frog. Ribbit, ribbit!

Updates

Hi! I am doing so many new things! I wanted to tell you about them! I have started playing peek-a-boo with Mommy and Daddy. This game is so fun that I giggle every time we play. I also have been trying so hard to crawl. I can usually get to my to my toys or my Mommy or Daddy by rolling though! I have been practicing sitting with my boppy pillow. I like to sit up and look around. I have also been babbling away! I have been saying mamamamamama and bububububububu mostly. I love, love, love, Mommy's and Daddy's glasses. I pull them off their faces every chance I get! I finally started sleeping in my bed - instead of my glider seat. I have been sleeping in my bed for about two weeks now. I have an Alabama mobile that my Mama Kaye bought that I like to watch and listen to. Last night, Mommy caught me dancing to it like I do my musical blue elephant! I have also been spitting my food - at most meals. It feels so good on my lips and mouth. Mommy and Daddy keep telling me "NO," but I don't know what that means so I just keep on spitting and smiling. I love to eat broccoli and chicken baby food. Daddy thinks it stinks, but it is very yummy. Daddy lets me watch Sponge Bob Square Pants while he fixes my breakfast. I really love that show. Mommy went back to work after Christmas, so Daddy and I have been spending a lot of time together. We have fun. Then Mommy comes home and she and I play all afternoon. I am a happy and healthy girl!

I Did It!

After my bath, I got my toes in my mouth! Delicious!

Here Kitty Kitty!

I love my Peaches. Mommy says to be sure to turn up the volume on your speakers!

My First Balloon

GrandMother brought me
my first balloon! I love him!
He smiles at me all the time.

Chewy Chewy!

I put everything I can get my hands on into my mouth! Yummy!

7 Months Old

Can you believe it?
I am 7 months old!

Bama Baby

In November when Daddy was away at a ballgame, Mommy took me to Michelle Shiflet's photography studio. Mommy took lots of Daddy's Alabama things to the studio so Michelle could take my picture with them. It was hard not to tell Daddy about getting my picture made! We surprised Daddy and gave this picture to him for Christmas.

Hello Feet!

When I wear my pink poodle pajamas that Aunt Lori gave me, I like to wiggle my feet out between the last snap and the footie. I do it every time I wear this pair of pajamas. Mommy says my feet are as cold as popsicles when I wake up in the mornings and they are sticking out! I like to do it anyway. Today when I was playing on my blanket I wiggled my feet out. I saw them sticking up in the air and I finally grabbed onto those wiggly things with my hands. They felt so funny! Daddy says I'll probably be putting them in my mouth soon. That sounds like fun to me!

Dancing!

I love my elephant. Every time it plays music I have to DANCE!

6 Month Check-Up

I went to see Dr. Debi today for my 6 month check-up and shots. I now weigh 14 pounds and 13 ounces. I am 24.4 inches long. Dr. Debi says I am about to get 4 teeth! She could feel them through my gums! She said two of them will come in very soon. I also get to use my new sippy cups to drink juice now! Dr. Debi says I am doing great.

Roll to the Left

My most favorite exercise lately is rolling. Whenever Mommy or Daddy puts me on my blanket, I roll over and over, back to belly, back to belly, back to belly, until I get to the end of my blanket. Mommy or Daddy turns me around the other way and I do it again. You see, I really prefer to roll only to my right. I just like it! But tonight I had a problem. Somehow I rolled crooked and ended up rolling into the couch. I couldn't roll to my right any further so I decided to try rolling to my left. Mommy saw me and cheered me on. She was so funny that I laughed and laughed at her. I never did roll to the left after all that laughing. Maybe another day!

Happy New Year!!!!!

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~e.e. cummings

Gargle Gargle

I love, love, love going to Wal-Mart. Nice ladies always stop Mommy and Daddy so they can talk to me. I love meeting new people! I usually just sit quietly in my seat and smile politely when they talk to me. But tonight was different! I decided to try to talk to the nice ladies before they stopped Mommy to talk to me. Guess what? It worked! Even more nice ladies stopped and talked to me when I talked first. When I got home, I showed Daddy what I said to the nice ladies to get them to stop and visit. Want to hear what I said? Watch!

Trying to Crawl

I am trying so very hard to crawl! Watch out Mommy and Daddy!

My Beautiful Christmas Dress AND 6 Months Old

This is my beautiful Christmas dress. Mommy's cousin Emily sewed and smocked it for me. Mommy says I look just like a baby doll. I think it is so pretty! On Christmas Eve, Mommy, Aunt Lori, Grandmother, Granddaddy, and I got to light the Advent candles at church. It was special! I got to wear my pretty dress. A lady at my church took our picture. I will ask Mommy to post it when she gets a copy.

Can you tell in my pictures that I feel bad? I went to the doctor last week because I had a fever. I had strep throat and an ear infection! I am finally starting to feel better today. I have been talking and laughing and playing. I didn't get to go to my 6-month checkup and get my shots because I was sick. But, I weighed 13 pounds and 12 ounces at the doctor visit. I am also 24 inches long now. I go back to the doctor on January 8 to get my ears checked and to get my 6-month shots.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We are not finished celebrating yet. On New Year's Day we will go to my great-grandparents' house. I have lots of things to tell you about Christmas, but you will have to check back later! It's my bedtime!

Merry Christmas!

Good Naps

My Daddy is soooooo cuddly!













Peaches sat in my lap while I was napping.

The Trouble With Headbands . . .

First Word????

What does this sound like to you?

Mommy says she's sorry, but she can't figure out why the sound and video don't match up exactly. I asked her to please put my movie on anyway because I REALLY wanted you to see it!

Talking

I just keep talking and talking to that silly ceiling fan. Why does it never talk back?

Twins

Nap Time

Mommy was rocking me to sleep when I found a handle on the side of her head!

Curls

My New Sound

I have discovered that I can make the most interesting sound. Once I start, I just can't stop. I do it while I am rolling over, while I am trying to crawl, while I am eating peas, and even when I fuss. It feels too good on my lips to stop! Just listen . . .

Cute Pictures

I love my Daddy!

Help!

Streeeetch!

I am in a giant stocking at Mama Kaye's.

Hehehe!

Hooray!

Mommy took me to the doctor today just to get weighed and guess what? I am FINALLY on the growth curve! Hooray! I am growing every day. I now weigh 13 pounds and 2 ounces. I am 23 and 1/2 inches long! Tomorrow, on my 5 month birthday, I am going to my Mama Kaye's for Thanksgiving dinner. I get to spend the night there! I know I will have so much fun visiting with everyone! On Thursday, I will get to visit with my family in Paris! Then on Friday there is more company coming. I can't wait! I'll make Mommy and Daddy take lots of pictures so I can share them with you.

My New Trick

I learned something new . . . just in time to show off for Thanksgiving! Watch!

Giggles

Mommy and I played the most fun game this morning!

Silly Me

Mommy says I have been a little more fussy than usual. She told my Mama Kaye and my Grand-mother. They all wonder if I am trying to get a tooth. Mommy tried to look in my mouth. Every time she opened my mouth I stuck my tongue out so that she couldn't see in! Pretty silly, huh? Mommy never saw a tooth. She also tried feeling around inside my mouth (I made her wash her hands before she did that), but she didn't feel anything either. By the way, what is a tooth anyway?

Ewwww Carrots

I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I do not like them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.

Green Beans

Today Mommy fed me green beans with my cereal. I really liked them. I got them everywhere. Does that surprise you? They even got into my nose! After I ate, Mommy and Daddy took me to my room to clean me up. Mommy washed my face. She told me she had to get those green beans out of my nose. When she washed my nose I just laughed and laughed. It tickled!!

New Outfit

Mommy's Aunt Judy sent me some new outfits. Do you like my hat?
