Week 35

Can you believe it?  I'm 8 months old.  I'm getting to be such a big girl. 

What's new with me? 

Let's see.  I'm almost ready to crawl.  I've been trying REALLY hard at it and I get up on my hands and knees but don't know what to do then.  I'll get it soon I think.  That doesn't stop me from getting where I want to be there.  I roll all over the place now.  Mommy put me down in my room the other day and when she came back I was half way down the hall!  Guess they need to start baby-proofing the house soon. 

What else, hum.  I still don't have any teeth.  I love to eat puffs and yogurt drops though.  In fact, if you put more than one on my tray I quickly shove them all in my mouth and start pounding my hands for more!  I've got lots of words now too.  I was saying DaDa about a month ago but now I've picked up MaMa and BaBa and DeeDeeDee.  I squeal and laugh if you toss me up in the air or turn me upside down and I love it when Daddy does "hot dog baby" and rolls me all over the bed.     

Outtakes:

Mom, seriously, what are you doing up there?

Toesies are delicious!

I still love to stick that tongue out.

See, I still like to pretend I have no neck.  You'd be hard pressed to guess it from this picture, but I'm actually pretty small.  30th percentile for height and weight. 

Week 34

Momma picked out this fabric because she LOVED it and because it goes so well with my eyes.  She had plans to do a lamp shade with it but that didn't work out so I got it for me!  I can't wait to see this one on  my baby quilt when we are finished with this project.  Oh and, because it's spring finally.  This weekend we went for a walk on the prairie path and I sat up in the stroller for the first time AND I sat in the grass with the doggies for awhile too.  Well, not on the grass really, on a blanket.  It's still pretty scratchy but Mom says it will get really green and soft.  I'm not sure I believe her, but we will see.

Outtakes:

Daddy started calling this my "My precious..." pose.  I do it a lot with my Paci.  Mommy laughed a lot when he said it the first time.

"If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it...."

Week 33

This week we went a little on the WILD side :O)  This cool fabric came from Daddy's friend Lauren.  She lives in Florida and she just had a baby too!  His name is Seth and Mommy keeps trying to give me away to all these baby boys.  I've got lots of boyfriends already and I'm not even 1 yet.

Outtakes:

"Hi Mommy.  How much longer is this going to take?"

Ready to crawl?  I saw my cousin Kayden this last weekend and she's a movin and a shakin.  I'm not far behind!!!

Week 32

Happy Easter everybody!!  Mommy wanted me to hold this silly carrot for my picture this week.  I was really scared of it at first, but once I realized it was food, I was pretty excited about it.  Nothing really special about the fabric for this week, except that it is springy.  Did you know it snowed on Sunday?  Mom and Dad keep saying that it will get warm soon and we can use our pool, but I see that white stuff on the ground so I think they must be crazy.

Outtakes:

"Here, you wanna try it?"

 "Ahhhchooo!"

 See....carrots can be scary!!!

"NomNomNom"

Week 31

Momma had a hard time picking my picture for this week.  There were lots of good ones!  This week's fabric came from Mom's friend from work, Lois. Isn't it cute?  It's got lots of little animals all over and I just love them all.  Mom's got some big plans for next week's Easter photo.

Outtakes:

This one ALMOST made the cut.  

"Toesies!"

Look!!  I DO have a neck.

"I'm so happy!"

Week 30

Luck o' the Irish to ya!!  It's almost St. Patrick's day and since Daddy is part Irish mommy decided to make this weeks picture extra special.  Do you like my clover?

My fabric for this week came from Grandma's friend Beth.  I wonder if she knew that we'd use it for St. Patrick's day when she got it for me??

Outtakes:

"What up, yo?"

"Cheese!!"

 Check me out....I'm a puffer fish.  I've been making this same face since I was born!

Week 29

This week's fabric came from Aunt Peggy.  She's Grandma's sister and I love her lots and lots.

Momma loves this fabric because the pretty blues bring out my eyes.  And...its super soft and squishy which will be perfect for the quilt Mommy is going to make with all this fabric.  Can you believe that she's been taking these pictures EVERY week of me for almost 30 weeks.  I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all finished!

Outtakes:

This week I started flapping my arms like a little bird when I get excited.  My cousin Kayden does it too.  We're like twins!

"Excuse me....Cab please!"

 
"Kowabunga dudes!"
