Me and Mr. Bumbo

Look at me..sittin' with the help of Mr. Bumbo

Yes!  That deserves a fist pump

What, you don't think my new skill is that cool?

Neither does Maddie dog.

That crazy Maddie dog.

What's a girl supposed to do to impress a dog?

She makes me laugh ALL the time.

 I laugh HARD at her tricks.

All she has to do is walk and I start giggling.

ehhh...what's a baby to do?  Guess I'll keep trying to come up with some new skills.

Mirror, Mirror On the Wall

Look how much fun daddy is having!

What a funny guy!

This is daddy's favorite game to play with me!  Smile at the mirror and laugh!

So, it's been a long week:

1)  I was super sick.  Joel had to take care of Audrey all day on my birthday

2)  Audrey had her first PT appointment.

3)  Audrey and I fell down the stairs.  Yes, you read that right.  I'm still praising God that Audrey is okay!  I freak out every time I think about how badly things could have turned out.  She had to go to the MD twice (the day of the fall, and the day after for a follow-up) but she doesn't even have a scratch or bruise!  Thank you, Lord!!!!  Never wear socks on wooden steps!  

I'm Big Stuff

Here I am sitting up with a little help from Ms. Boppy.

I was tickled pink with my new skill, so mom took 1800 pictures.

She left the drool on my face, too.  For some reason she even thinks my spit is cute.

Ha ha.  Silly mommy.  

Seriously, am I related to her?

I saw my double chin in the last pic, so I decided to do the ol' head tilt to enhance my look.  Daddy didn't get the memo.

These photos are going to go on forever...I mine as will chew on my fingers.

Seriously, mom.  

I know I'm cute, but only a mom could look at all these pictures.

Well, maybe an oma and grandma, too.

This smile is for all ya'll that kept reading this really long post!  Keep it up!

Baby Friends!

The other day my friend, Elliana, came to visit.

We are only 1 week  apart

So, mama insisted we hold hands and smile for the camera.

Fine, mama.  We'll pretend to hold hands, but we WON'T smile.

Here we are pinkie swearing. We are NOT going to smile.

Even if you take 8 pictures.  

and make funny faces and dance in front of us.

Maybe when we are 8 we will both think about smiling for the camera.?

Happy Valentines Day!

It's that time of year again!

Chocolates, cards, flowers and the realization that mommy didn't get daddy a gift in time.  

I guess I was taking up all her free time or something like that.

I don't really feel bad about that, though 

cuz mommy found some time to make daddy some of his favorite cookies!  

shh...it's a surprise.  He won't find them till he wakes up in the morning.




Happy Valentines Day!  Big hugs to all the loved ones who continue to read this blog but refuse to comment :)  ha ha...and of course hugs to you who do comment, too!  

Warning: There May be WAY Too Many Photos in This Post

Hey, here I am to show off my chubby cheeks...

I'm in my FAVORITE spot.  I LOVE my changing table.  Mommy and Daddy aren't quite sure why?  Is it the bright lights?  The decal lady bugs on the wall?

Wait, DON'T stop reading yet.  You have to look at all the pictures daddy took of me.

Here I am pretending to be bored of looking at the camera

Ha ha...I was fooling ya'll.  I never get tired of getting my picture taken

I'm a pretty happy girl.  Mommy and daddy are so blessed to have such a good baby. 

Keep that in mind when I throw a temper tantrum in a public place,  okay mommy and daddy?

Hair-Do and Storms

Hey, ya'll.  Just wanted to show off my new hair-do.   My hair (fuzz) always sticks straight up for a few days after a bath.

Enough about the hair, though.  Did you know we are in the midst of a blizzard?

At least mommy and daddy bought flashlights and batteries for this storm.  It was no fun getting my diaper changed by candlelight during Hurricane Sandy. 

Hopefully, if we do lose power, mommy and daddy will go somewhere WARM (and put a shirt on me of course).    BTW, someone leave comment.  Mommy is wondering if anyone besides grandma reads her blog.
