UP, UP, UP......I wanna go UP!

While I was getting ready for work this morning, Daddy called me to come and look at you, and the picture below is what I saw! You had pulled yourself up for the very first time! It looks like you are thinking "hello, world, I'm ready to play!"






You look like you are so proud of your newest accomplishment!

Happy Retirement, Grandma!

We celebrated Grandma's retirement today. She is retiring after teaching for 38 years!!! She is going to help Granddaddy keep you while Mommy and Daddy go to work. We are so thankful that she can now be your "teacher," provider, role model, etc. Congratulations, Grandma. We love you!!

And she's OUT!...



You fight sleep a lot. Some nights it's so hard to get you to go to sleep. Every night you get a bath, bottle, and sometimes you drift off to sleep while you're eating. Tonight you gave your Daddy a rough time, and this is how you were when you finally gave it up and went to sleep! You were one tuckered out little girl!

A nEw RiDe!

Grandma and Granddaddy got you a walker! You like playing with all the things on the tray, especially the things that light up or play music. So far you can go backwards. Before long you'll learn how to go forwards and there'll be no stopping you!!



You love chewing on the "flower" and looking at yourself in the mirror (which is in the middle of the flower.)



Daddy came home from work just in time to see you trying out the walker for the first time!





Thank you Grandma and Graddaddy!!! We love ya'll!

BaBy BiRdS!

We've had a bird's nest in our wreath on the front door for a long time. I'm not sure if it's the same bird that keeps having babies here or different birds. Recently we noticed that there were babies in the nest. While I was at work, you and Granddaddy checked on the birds. Sometimes when I got home, we'd open the door and check on them again. I assumed they couldn't "fly" as long as they were in the nest...


Well, one evening you were pretty sleeping but didn't want to "give it up," so you and I were walking a lot. I walked by the door and realized that we hadn't "checked" on the birds in a day or two. So, I open the door, we look at the birds (kind of like you are doing to the picture.) Suddenly, you swing your arm and hit the wreath.........and the birds go flying.....most of them fly out into the yard, but one flew into the house. I was panicing!!! Daddy was at work so I called Granddaddy. He and Grandma were in Oxford. I was so afraid the bird was going to hurt himself, or fly somewhere and get "lost" and die, or my BIGGEST fear was that he would start pooping e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e!! Luckily, none of my fears came true, and your Daddy got home soon after the bird flew in, caught him, and put him back outside. I for sure learned my lesson. The birds never came back - I guess we scared them away. But, from now on we'll "check" on the birds without opening the door!

1st SiPpY CuP!

We gave you a sippy cup for the first time today. You didn't really know what to do with it, but you instantly put it in your mouth (we had to "turn it up" for you!) You enjoyed chewing on the top. You like to play and chew on it more than drinking from it!


Inside you had mostly water with a little bit of apple juice. You didn't know what to think about that new flavor!
