My future is so BRIGHT I've gotta wear shades!


Well I just wanted everyone to see my new shades. I am going outside to help mommy and daddy do some yard work and mommy didn't want the sun to get in my eyes. I think that I picked out some pretty cute shades. What do you think? You can always leave me a comment. I will try to write more this weekend.

I'm Back


It has been a busy couple of weeks and I haven't been able to provide updates to my adoring public. I spent all of spring break with Mommy and we went on a road trip to visit Daddy's family. I'll be 7 months old in a few days and I'm becoming more of a big girl everyday. I figure I could pat myself on the back and share some of my recent accomplishments.


  • In addition to carrots, I have added peas, green beans, squash, and sweet potatoes to my diet. So far, sweet potatoes are my favorite. I pretty much have this "veggie" thing down so I'm ready for fruits.

  • I have taken a liking to glasses. The only time Mommy or Daddy let me drink anything out of it is if there is a just little bit of water. If I can reach a glass my mouth is going to be on it though. Everyone gets a kick out of it on Sunday dinners at Gram's house.

  • My communication skills have also improved. Now, I shake my head "no" and yell when necessary. You would be surprised how loud I can get..

  • Mommy and Daddy show me Baby Einstein videos. I like the puppets on there but I usually only pay attention for about half of the show.

  • I can sit up and play all by myself (see picture).

  • I'm not quite crawling yet, but I roll and scoot around to get where I need to go. I like to stand up to but I still need a little bit of assistance. Serious mobility is right around the corner. I can feel it.

Happy Easter


I don't know what this whole Easter thing is about but it does have something to do with a bunny rabbit. Anyhow, I did get lots of Easter cards and some presents from my family. We went to church and had brunch at Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kristie's house. I was quite a well behaved young lady at church too. I guess I'll find out more about Easter next year when I can hunt for eggs.

Feeding Time II

Carrots are my new favorite vegetable. Yummy!




I admit they took some getting used to.


The lighting is not great but here is a little video.

Feeding Time

I'm trying to share this video clip of me eating cereal for the first time. This is the first attempt to post a video and the file is large. Hopefully everyone will be able to view it.

Bathtime Pictures

I also thought that I would share some cute pictures of my first bubble bath. Mommy thought a warm bath would help my cold and cough.








Hello Again


It has been awhile since I updated my blog. I have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. I have been going to the new babysitter for a few weeks now. It is going pretty well - I have a lot of kids to watch there. Alice is very nice and keeps me well fed.


I also had Grandpa and Grandma come down and visit me recently. Wrigley thinks they come to visit him but I don't think so. They both tell me that I am getting big. Mommy & Daddy went out to dinner without me. I can't imagine why they would want to do that? I'm cute and fun! Gram and Poppy came over and watched me so I had fun without them. Ha!


I have had a cold this week and now I have a cough too. Mommy & Daddy have been spoiling me a little extra until I feel better. We are just hanging around the house because we got a big snow. I'm too little to play in it but it looks pretty.
