Some "Firsts"

It's been a while since I've blogged. Probably because mommy has been out of school, so we have been playing lots. I have grown a lot over the last few weeks. Here are a few of my "firsts."

Here I am wearing my sunglasses for the first time. I love them! Mommy was so surprised that I didn't once try to take them off. Duh mom, I love to look cool.

This is me sitting up like a big girl! I learned to sit by myself right after my 5 month mark. Sometimes I get a little off balance and do a face plant, but for the most part I've got it down.

I can even sit and play at the same time, talk about coordination!

A painful first has been my teeth coming in. I received my first tooth on Sunday, June 14th. Mommy was putting me in my car seat after church, she looked in my mouth and there it was. It is too painful for me to recall exactly when it happened, but mommy thinks probably when I was in the nursery. Two days later the tooth beside it came in. This is a strange looking pic. of me, but mommy really wanted you to see my teeth (don't tell her, but you can't really see them all that well).

Since my teeth have come in, it has been difficult for my mommy and daddy to get a picture of me without my fingers in my mouth.

(this is just an extra picture of me and my cuteness for you to enjoy!)

Here I am on Father's day at Cracker Barrel eating breakfast in a highchair for the first time in a restaurant! Mommy or daddy usually hold me when we are out, but I showed them that I can sit and play nicely while they eat. I did turn the butter dish over and on the floor, and I tried to swipe a little gravy from my daddy, but all in all I was good.

I can't wait for my next "first." Who knows.... maybe I'll be mobile soon!

Bathing Beauty and Baseball Babe

Yeah for warm weather! I am so excited for the summer and all the fun it entails. I had my first swimming experience at Uncle Jake's on Memorial Day. Here I am attempting my best future full figured swim suit model pose.

Mommy tried to dip my feet in the chilly water, but I was not having it. After all, I didn't see her jumping in.

Chilling out with my baby cousin Joli on the patio is more my speed.

Mom decided to get a baby pool for me, hoping that the warmer water would better suit me (after all, I splash and have a blast in my bath every night.). Daddy dipped me in and....

I loved it! I splashed around for a good twenty minutes with my crazy brother Colin. The battery in mommy's camera was losing juice, so we didn't get the best pictures.... we did manage to get some good footage of Colin and I on the video camera though.

Another great thing about the weather has been Colin's baseball games! I am his biggest cheerleader. Here is am making my stink face because the other team scored.

Fear not- Colin played excellent defense at 3rd base. He made some great stops and tagged some of the boys from the Braves out.

He also smacked the ball each time he was at bat. I am really proud of how he did for his first year of baseball. He only struck out two times all season (he was MAJORLY bummed each time he struck out), and loved playing. We can't wait to spend the summer playing ball and swimming together.
