Sitting Pretty

Okay folks...look what I can do NOW! I have graduated from sitting with assistance to sitting with none whatsoever! Can you believe it?! Mommy took me and Emmett outside for a few minutes so we could blow some bubbles and take some pictures if a Kodak moment presented itself. And...it did...just look at me! I am still a little uneasy with my new achievement so sometimes I do fall over so I can't get too cocky. But I must say...I am pretty proud of myself.

I'm Getting Hot

Okay, here I'm ready to go in now...it was so hot out there I just couldn't take it any longer. So I told mom to grab the bubbles and camera before I had a meltdown.

I Can Even Do It Sucking My Thumb!

And to top it off....I not only can sit by myself but I can do it WHILE sucking my thumb! What do you think of that?! I feel pretty proud about this moment. Pretty proud.

Prunes...You Gotta Love Um!

Looking at my face you would never know most of the prunes went down my tummy since it looks like they all landed on my face. I am proud of my artwork though...I do believe I covered the whole canvas of my face and I couldn't even really see what I was doing! Some of you may think of prunes as old people food....but babies eat them too...and for the same reason most older people eat them...to get your insides a movin'. And...let me tell you...they did. THANK GOODNESS! So I have to give props to the old prunes. They really helped me out in my time of dire need. And mommy was so thankful too! So let's join hands and say together...Prunes,

You Gotta Love Um!

Daddy's Little Friend

Look who daddy brought home for me to meet...our new pet opposum! (JUST KIDDING!) But he did bring this little guy home for us to see. He was pretty cute! But daddy let him go out in the woods. Daddy sure does have an interesting job! My friends will think he's really cool when I get older because he sees so many animals...but from what I hear he is hoping to not be doing this much longer. Daddy, I think you're job is neat!

Loving My Grandma

So this past weekend we went to Birmingham to help celebrate Allie's birthday. It was a BLAST to say the least. Keep reading to see how much of a blast it was! I was glad to get to spend some time with Grandma. We hadn't been to their house since Christmas! I was a little squirt then so coming back was good since I could romp around a little more. Grandma, I sure had fun with you! I loved playing with you and spending some quality time with you. You are great! Can't wait to see you again!

Grandma and Her Girls

Her we are with Grandma. Allie is so active this was the best picture we could get with all three of us! I wasn't quite ready for the shot but it had to do because Allie was back on the go right after we took it! That's okay! I'm just glad to have a shot with Allie and Grandma and ME! CHEESE!

Playing with Allie

So here I am with Allie. She was so nice to let me play with some of her new toys she got for her birthday (keep reading to find out more about her big day). She got Mater from the movie Cars and she was so nice to share him with me. She also gave me a big hug as you can see from one of the pictures (oh and mommy told me to tell you to ignore her crazy face in the background...she didn't know she was in that shot!). Oh and did I tell you Aunt Melissa is pregnant with her second? She will have him or her in September...just like me! Wow! I can't wait to meet him or her (they didn't find out what they are having...I like that because I got to surprise mommy and daddy when I came out...it's fun for us little guys to do that and see the surprise on our parents' faces!) Allie, I sure had a blast playing with you and I can't wait to come to your next party. I should be more mobile then!

Happy Birthday Allie!

Saturday, May 5th was Allie's second birthday. Mommy said last time we celebrated Allie's birthday I was growing in her tummy. Did you know you get a cake for your birthday? It looks SO good. This is Allie's cake. She loves the movie Cars so she got a Cars birthday cake. I didn't get a taste of the cake but daddy gave me a little lick of the chocolate icecream they served with it and boy was that something else! I would love to have some more! Mommy and Daddy also gave me a little lick of the watermelon they had for lunch. That was quite tasty too! What a time I had at the party! As you can see from the picture...Allie really enjoyed her cake too! Happy Birthday Allie and thanks for letting me come to your party!

Allie's Trike

Look at what Grandma and Papa got Allie for her birthday...a tricycle! Looks like a lot of fun to me! She seemed to be enjoying it. Aunt Ash had to give her a few pointers before she could really take off. But it seemed to help. Man...I can't wait for my birthday. These really seem to be a lot of fun!

Three Generations of Girls

Here I am with Mommy and Grandma. That's three generations of girls mommy said! This is at Allie's party too. I am eyeballing Grandma's food and wondering if I could get a quick sneak of some of that delicious food that mommys says I'm too little to have. Nobody is looking. For those of you who weren't there...I didn't get it....maybe next time.

One on One with Papa

While we were in Birmingham I had some good one on one time with Papa. I enjoyed sitting with him. I was very comfortable. He played some games with me and I really liked that. He kept getting my toes and I thought that was funny too!! We had such a good time together, didn't we Papa?

Having Fun

I sat in my new booster seat for over an hour today while mommy took pictures of me. I didn't fuss a bit either because I had so much fun! If you keep reading you will see what I mean. I did all sorts of things in my big girl seat!

Splish Splash

Mommy wanted me to practice drinking out of my sippy cup and while I tried my best to get it into my mouth and have it stay there...I didn't do a good job. Most of the water landed on my booster seat. But boy did that make for some fun! I loved splashing my hands in the water and seeing it go everywhere! It even got on mommy! But she didn't care. She just laughed too!

Loving the Sippy Cup

Mom is trying to move me toward the sippy cup. As you can tell from the photos above...I didn't do too well getting the water into my mouth but I had a good time chewing on it and banging it around. I banged it so hard that sometimes it went right onto the floor! But the water was a blast to play in...like I said earlier!

My Little Hand

Mommy was in a creative mood today and took some different kinds of shots..such as this one with my hand. She said she thought it was cute how it was gripped ever so slightly onto the edge of my booster seat.

Daddy's Feet

Mommy says I have Daddy's feet. She took some shots of them today. See how my big toe can go vertical while the others stay flat? I inherited that from my daddy. My toes are kind of shaped like mommy's while the spacing and flexibility I get from daddy. Isn't that neat? I love how I am part of both of my parents. God is neat like that!

Feet

For some reason mommy thought it was really cute how my feet dangled from my new booster seat (read a few entries down to hear about my new booster seat). So she decided to take some black and white shots.

No More Peas Please

Mommy said she and daddy aren't pea fans. I think I will join them on that one. Although, mommy keeps insisting that I eat them. I just turn my head. No thanks mom. They are just like you said...nasty! You thought I couldn't understand you when you said that. Well, I did. And I won't go down without putting up a fight. Once I had time to let the taste settle in my mouth it was clear...no more peas for me please! I would much rather wear them on my face than swallow them! That's going to be the plan from now on when it comes to the peas.

What, Is There Something On My Face?

Well I opened my mouth like I usually do to give these so called peas a chance. I feel like mommy is staring at me. Is something on my face? It does feel a little different around my mouth.
