Talking with my Granny

Sometimes I like to talk on the phone with my Granny! When I hear her voice I try to grab the phone.

P.S. I love my Johnny Jump-up!

Sitting Up!

I sat up by myself without tipping over for the first time today! Look at the pictures!

6 Months Old!

Today I turned 6 months old! Here are my latest updates:
>> I'm on the move. I might not be able to crawl, but I can roll anywhere I want to go! I can coordinate my left knee and elbow to try and crawl, but can't quite get the other side to cooperate. I even grunt because it’s such hard work!
>> I'm teething. I chew on everything and anything I can find. I started enjoying teething rings and love Sophie, my giraffe.
>> I love bath time. I graduated from the bath sling and now "sit" in my little tub. I spend about 15 minutes every night splashing and having fun!
>> After my bath, my mommy and I play in my bedroom while she gets me ready for dad. Daddy comes in and reads me a story while I practice to sit in between daddy’s legs on the floor. I love my stories and pay close attention to the books my daddy reads to me.
>> I laugh. . . a lot!
>> I love my Johnny jump-up. I should wear a helmet when playing in it because I get going VERY high!
>> I started on "real" solids. So far, I've enjoyed peas and green beans. Next week, I go to orange foods. I LOVE eating and make all kinds of cooing noises to tell people I want more. Breastfeeding is still my favorite meal, though!
>> I love being outside and going for walks.
>> I continue to be a very easy-going baby.


Remember when I was first born?

I love my greens!

This weekend, I got to try my first "real food". I got peas . . . and guess what . . . I LOVED them! I'm going to stick with peas for a week and then work my way through the green food family. After that, I think I get to go to orange. My guess is I'll like everything. Just look at my cheeks!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Uncle Andrew

My Uncle Andrew is in town this week on Spring break from Law School. Some people say I look like him. Either way, I love it when he visits!

Great Aunt Michelle

A few weekends ago, my great aunt Michelle came for a special visit just to see me! While she was visiting, she fed me rice cereal. I love my aunt Michelle and I know she loves me, too!

I love my high chair!

Have I mentioned I love my high chair?

Eat, eat, eat

I 'm starting to put everything I can get my hands on in my mouth! Just this week, I tried to eat my ball, my hand and sophie my giraffe. Here's some proof.

5 months!

Today I had my 5 month shots. While we were waiting to see the Dr, I got to read a book.

Then I got to stand next to a height chart (I wasn't too sure about it - look at my face!)

When we went into the exam room, I found that white stuff that I LOVE. Once again, I tried to eat it. Speaking of eating, you might be curious about my current weight . . . 15lbs, 9oz. My mommy said something about 10lbs of that being in my cheeks. Bye for now!

Go Devils!

Tonight I got to go to my first ASU sporting event at the Staples Center in LA! This time it was basketball, but I know I'm going to like ASU football too. Daddy said something about the game not ending so well, but we had a great time! I even tracked the ball and players from one side of the court to the other. Go ASU Sun Devils!

Overnight at Granny and Grandpa's house

This week my Mommy and Daddy were both on business trips in Texas (Mommy in Houston and Daddy in Austin), so I got to go on a vacation to Granny and Grandpa's house in Arcadia (I brought my dog Maggie, too). I had a packed four day trip complete with two visits to the Arboretum with my new friends Devyen, Brianna and JJ, and Taylor, and a special trip to Gymboree. I also got to go to the grocery store and sit in a special seat in the cart secured with two rolls of paper towels (innovative - wonder if granny bought the towels?). I really enjoyed watching my dog Maggie play with her dog friend Lucy. I had a great trip and my Granny told me she wanted to keep me.
