I'm getting closer...

I crawled into my exer-saucer all by myself today. I'm getting pretty good at using leverage, like the base of this thing, to get where I need to go. I also have mastered the army crawl on the kitchen floor. Scooting on that smooth floor is much easier than the carpet. But I should have whole thing down pretty soon. Check back soon for some video of me!

Kentucky Derby Day

This weekend was something called the Derby where everybody watches these horses run around. I don't quite get it but we went to a party. I don't understand this "betting" thing either. All I know is that Daddy lost his money but my cousin Tyler was a big winner.

Of course, I received a lot of attention at the party. Everybody wanted to hold me and I got to play on a swingset for the very first time. Good times, good times.

Round, round, get around, I get around...

Check me out!

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.
