Chatter box

I have discovered my voice! Whether I am by myself or if someone is talking to me, I just LOVE using my voice! Sometimes, I just love to squeal because I get so excited and sometimes I like to hold conversations with pretty much anyone who will pay attention to me. My favorite thing to say is "da, da, da, da" even though I'm not sure what that means yet, it sure is easy to say and of course my daddy loves it-mommy...not so much. She does love to hear me talk but everytime I say "da, da, da, da," she tries to correct me and get me to say " ma, ma, ma, ma". I try to copy her but all that comes out is "da, da, da, da" and a smile of course. I'm sure as soon as I say "ma, ma" she will get another video.

Grandma & Papa's

Last weekend mommy and I went up to Park River to spend the weekend with grandma and papa. Papa is what my cousin Landon calls my grandpa Tim-I think its easier for him to say than the whole word. We had lots of fun playing on a blanket in the grass, going to the park (I slept in the stroller while mommy and grandma played with Landon). Auntie Lindsey and Uncle Brandon had to go somewhere so Landon stayed with us and grandma gave him a root beer float-she says that's what grandma's do when mommies aren't around. Landon got a hat at a garage sale that went with his new train set-he didn't take it off for the rest of the weekend! talking with grandpa "pa" or "papa" outside

Saturday mornings

I LOVE Saturday mornings! That's when daddy is home with me and mommy. We get to hang out, play, watch movies and take naps together. We were watching one of daddy's favorite movies from when he was a kid, "The Sandlot". It was on the family channel-he even knew most of the words! Wow, playing in my exercauser really wore me out! Taking a nap on daddy is the best-sometimes daddy even doses off a bit. Did I mention how much I LOVE Saturdays with daddy! Mommy thinks I look more and more like my daddy when we are sleeping. Out cold!

Oh so comfy! This is the life!

Happy Girl!

My favorite thing to do is SMILE! I am especially smiley when mommy or daddy come to pick me up out of my crib when I wake up in the morning or from a nap. I get so excited I squeal, kick my legs, wave my arms, and smile. Sometimes I am even at the very top of my crib or laying sideways from where mommy put me down. She says I'm kind of a crazy sleeper just like my daddy-I like to scooch and roll all over in my bed! Good Morning!

Just waking up from my afternoon nap-so glad to be home with mommy!

My new toy!

My Grandma Tammy got me this really cool new toy! Its called an excersaucer-it is the best! Even though it takes up half of mommy and daddy's living room it sure keeps me happy and busy. It has so many different toys on it I could play with it forever while mommy gets lots done. I am still learning how to balance and sometimes I even face plant into it but every day I get bigger and stronger. It plays music, makes honking noises, lights up and everything fits in my mouth! Mommy even took a little video of me learning how to play in my new toy-don't mind the weirdo talking on the video!

p.s. I'm so glad that mommy is home with me now for the summer so she can keep everyone updated on my blog and take lots of pictures and videos of me as I change and grow!

CRAZY HAIR!

So we finally had some warm weather. It was over 80 degrees yesterday and mommy dressed me a little too warm. I had 2 shirts on, pants, socks and shoes-mommy ended up taking most of it off after I started sweating! My hair gets a little crazy when I sweat so mommy had to get a picture of it-i think that it might be a little curly!

Just Chillin with dad @ Great Grandma Judy's house. We helped her clean out her garage for spring cleaning (I got a little dirty!) while mommy ran errands!
