Sick day with Mike and Momma!



Momma stayed home with Mike and I today because we were both sick. I am feeling much better and have no fever. I have a horrible cold though. It was a nice and relaxing day for all of us. Daddy has class again tonight so I won't see him until tomorrow morning.

Swimming, bathtime with Lisi, and reading with big brother



I was sick when we were able to go swimming this past weekend so momma didn't get any pics of me in the pool. I did go swimming though. I actually liked it but only stayed in the pool for maybe 20 minutes. Lisi came home 2 weeks ago and was able to give me a bath! Mike read to me last weekend and I loved it!!

Daddy at class

So my daddy has been at class all night and Momma is just POOPED!! She picked us up from day care, fed us (Hamburger Helper for Mike and spaghetti for me), changed us (well, not so much Mike), got Mike's homework done, and finally put us in bed. Down time for Momma!! Pics this week. We get to go swimming in an indoor pool this weekend though! Momma needs to buy me a swimsuit so I can go too! Can't wait to show you my pictures of my swimming. Nighty-night!

MLK Holiday


This is what I found today while Momma was making the bed. I loved it when the stopper would make the vibration noise and bounce back.I would squeal with delight! I played with it for maybe 3-4 minutes!

Long weekend

My momma has been sick since Sat. morning so no pics or updates. This week she will post some more.

Rain/Snow Day!!




This what I did during the rain day we had...(I mean "snow" day!!) I even graduated from my baby car seat and got a new car seat from Costco--I am officially a big girl now!!

Crawling

I will be crawling any day now. I actually started my adventures yesterday but only got maybe 4 inches further along than I normally do. I think I am just scared. I will let you know when I really start making my momma crazy. She better hurry up and get safety gates..haha.

My favorite toys!





I love the toys that my grandma and momma gave me for Christmas! I get so excited to push down the little characters, well, because I just don't like having them in the up position! :) My musical table that momma gave me makes me giggle with delight as the music and alphabet plays.(Please pardon the Xmas totes that are in the background--been a very busy week since we got back from the south on Sunday.) :)

First spaghetti dinner!

Florida and New Year's Eve





I tried out my stroller without my car seat like a big girl. I also got to go see the gators with my daddy in the lake behind my Grammy and Gramps's house, and even took a bath with Grammy in the kitchen sink. My favorite thing to do in Florida?? Ride in the golf cart of course! :) I hope you had a wonderful New Year's Eve too!

COUSINS!!



I loved getting to know my cousins Walker and Quinny!! They enjoyed playing with me and making sure I was happy!! I love you Walker and Quinn!

Atlanta!!!






I got to meet mom's best friend, Heather, got to hang out with Grammy and Gramps, and got to meet my Uncle Jay, Aunt Michelle, and cousins Walker and Quinn. I loved Atlanta!!

My first Christmas!






I had a great time opening my Night Before Christmas book from Gramps. I loved eating the wrapping paper and hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa!

Back to Daycare

Dropped off Ryan at daycare this morning only to find her crying and not wanting me to leave. I felt so bad. I think it was almost as bad as the first day I dropped her off at care. Pics soon, I promise....just need to find the camera cord that I think I have misplaced. :(
