My New Ball!!



My Grandma came over yesterday to hang out with me and while she was there, my daddy bought me a HUGE tennis ball!

Another Portland Snow Day--HAHAHA!!


So as per usual, Portland, Oregon tends to FREAK OUT when there is ANY sign of snow. (Yes, worst than my mama's state of Georgia!!) We woke up to calls from Mama's principal and Daddy's team leader call. It took us until about 8 A.M. to finally wake up and go party at Chuck-E-Cheese! This is looking like a seasonal traditon :) I do love the kitchen glass door though!

First Real Play date!


On President's Day weekend I was able to have my very FIRST play date! I went with Collin, Ella, Miss Stephanie, Mr. Dustin,a and of course Mama to a place called "Sip-N-Play." The adults enjoyed their coffee while we were able to explore three exciting rooms with different things! Obviously Mama took good care of me and made sure no bigger kids messed with me! :)

Not Too Happy.....



Yeah, as you can see I am not too happy about my "security" gate being put up from the kitchen to the walkway from the bedroom to the laundry room. That used to be my favorite place to wander.

Pack-N-Play and Toy Chest


Loving my Pack-N -Play that my Grandma and Grandpa got me(when I was born) and my toy chest that Grammy and Gramps bought me for my birthday! (Early 1st b-day present of course!) Beginning to love looking through it!

I am 9 months old. Watch Out!!

I'm standing!!




My daddy yelled at my mama to "Quick! Look!" That's right-I figured out how to pull myself up in my play pen!! HAHA..What's next??

Mike and Me!


I LOVE watching my big bro do things. I giggle EVERY TIME I see him walk in the room; that's how much I love him!!

Advice!

So should Ryan still be using a bumper guard in her crib? I googled it and everyone of course has their own opinions. I am not concerned (anymore) with her legs getting caught, but it is more of an issue with trying to find her binkie in the middle of the night. Some people still have their infants at the age of 14 months still having one in the crib. I personally think that is ridiculous. Any insights would be wonderful! :)

Ear Infection

I have an ear infection which is why I have been under the weather. A little amoxicillian and I will be back and better than ever! My poor daddy has pneumonia so Mama has been dealing with a bunch of stuff lately. Bye-Bye!!

What a week for Ryan

My poor baby is not herself these days. Horrible cold, runny nose that just won't quit and cranky. (She told me to write this as she is the one who normally does the writing!!) :) I cradled her in my arms on the family room floor only to find her sleeping. I took her to her room, rocked her, once again to find her asleep. What happens when I move her to her crib you ask? Oh, she's wide awake right now whining. HELP ME!!!!

I love hanging out in my pack-n-play! Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch me while my mama and daddy went to the movies last weekend. This weekend my family is sick. We all have fevers and are well, just not feeling too good.
