Guess what??



I'm half a year old! Mommy & Daddy can't believe how fast time is flying by. I am now sitting up without any help, which is so much fun. It means I can play with my toys all by myself, although I still like to show off my skills for Mommy & Daddy (it's no fun playing alone!). I can also push myself off the ground with my arms. Having trouble figuring out how my legs go with it, but watch out Mommy, it won't be long! Mommy was very proud of me too when I said her name the other day. I may have been asking her to feed me, so I was a little mad, but I did say, "Mama". I did it again on the changing table when I wasn't mad to make sure she really heard me- Daddy was there to witness it too. It's so much fun growing up & sharing my life with you. Thanks for following along- can you keep up??

Me & Tigger


Tigger is so silly. He makes a great chair & he talks to me. Thanks Granddaddy Pope for giving him to me. Hopefully I'll be bigger than him someday, but for now I like how he holds me up.

My first fruit...

is bananas! At first, I wasn't too sure what to think of it. It was a little stringy, but after getting it all over my face, I decided that I love it! I finished my entire bowl & even licked it clean. Keep the good food coming, Mommy!

Good-bye Grandpa & Grandma Gette

Thanks Grandma Marilyn & Grandpa Roger for a wonderful time! It was so much fun playing with you, checking out nature & eating out together. I can't wait until I can come visit you in Texas! Have a safe trip back home & come again soon!
I was so sad to see you go that I cried going down for a nap because I knew after I closed my eyes that you would be gone. I guess I'll have to pretend to be happy to see only Mommy when I wake up- maybe we'll put your picture up in my room so I can see you everyday! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you both!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUNT LEANNA!

Sorry we can't be there to celebrate with you (& that your Mom & Dad are here with me instead), but we wish you a very happy 28th birthday! We enjoyed singing happy birthday to you on Sunday and eating your yummy cake, although Mommy said I couldn't have any :( That frosting must be good because you licked it right off the candle :) Lots of love for Aunt Leanna & the happiest of birthdays!

My Entourage


So that you can put a face to the names, here's my crew of family! First, we have Aunt Leanna, Grandpa Roger, Mommy (of course), Grandma Marilyn (peeking over), Daddy (what a handsome devil!), Father John (from St. Philip Neri Church- he assisted Grandpa), Aunt Jen with cousin Mikayla & Uncle Robert.

In the next photo, there is Cousins Amy & Robert, Grandma Teresa, Granddaddy Sammy, you should know those other 2 again, Uncle Andre (in profile), Auntie L, Aunt Heidi, Great-grandma Azile, & last, but not least, Mimsi. There you have them- if you mess with me, you get a crowd!
