I'm Glad I went to Sabbath School

This morning I got all dressed up in a special outfit that my Nana gave me because Mommy and Daddy took me to Sabbath School. Although I have gone to this church before, it was the first time I visited Sabbath School. I wasn't sure what to expect! There were lots of people in the room. Lots of moms, dads, and A LOT of kids! Daddy held me on his lap so I could see everything. We sang songs and heard stories all about the animals that Jesus made for us. Everyone even sang a special song to me while Daddy held me on the rocking horse. After Sabbath School was over I got to have play time with a new friend. She is one day older than me so we got along great. What a fun morning!

I'm Seven Months Old!

Mommy and Daddy say they can't believe it, but it's true! Today I am seven months old and life is good!I'm eating lots of good food these days. I love everything I eat but my favorites are mango, sweet potatoes, and green beans.I'm sleeping 12+ hours at night and taking two naps a day. Mommy and Daddy keep saying "Knock on wood"...whatever that means!I'm very playful and talkative all day long.I love playing in my room with all my toys and stuffed animalsand I love how easy it is for me to get around in my walker!

We have gotten some nicer weather so Mommy and I have gone for long walks and short runs. I love being outside whether in my stroller, jogger, or just on a blanket in the yard.Yes, as you can see, life is good!

Visiting Uncle Kirk and Auntie Lindsey

This past weekend mommy, daddy, and I flew to Southern California to visit my uncle and auntie. I was so excited to get to go on another airplane! We got to their house very late at night so I had to wait until the next morning before I could see them. We had a fun time at their house. We went on a hike up in the mountains, I played with their little dog, we celebrated Auntie's birthday, and I showed them how close I was to crawling. I'm getting really excited about having a new little cousin to play with! I've been told we won't get to see them again for several months and I'm not happy about that. Maybe they'll miss me so much they'll arrange for a visit sooner!

The Cutest Little Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!

Super Bowl Sunday

As I've said before, I LOVE football! Today was Super Bowl Sunday I was excited to watch the Saints and the Colts play. Now, even though the 49ers weren't in the Super Bowl this year (NEXT year for sure!!) I wanted to show my support and pride so mommy and I wore our 49er outfits. We had a fun morning at the playground, then I took a nap. When I woke up it was time to watch the game. What a game!! I wouldn't have been disappointed either way, but I was glad the Saints won. Do I really have to wait until August?

When Mommy is Away...

Mommy went on a grocery run and left me home with Daddy. When she returned this is what she found...

Try and keep up!

I'm six months old now and doing so many new things, it's hard for mommy and daddy to keep up! I'm now sleeping 12-12.5 hours at night. Mommy and Daddy are extremely happy about that! I am also sleeping on my tummy now (even though Mommy puts me on my back) which I find far more comfortable.I have found my thumb and have also found that I enjoy sucking it when I'm sleepy. I can sit up really well all by myself now, but if I tip over I've decided it's easier to just hang out on my tummy or back. One of these days I'll probably figure out how to sit back up, not important right now.

I have been eating solids for over a week now. In the morning I have oatmeal, which I love! In the evening I have a variety of fruits and vegetables. So far the variety has included sweet potatoes, bananas, peas, and squash. I love eating solid food and so far everything I've had has been delicious. It's fun, and I think I'm good at it!

I got a new ball this weekend. Daddy and I played together for a long time. I like to watch it bounce and roll, it makes me giggle.

I am becoming so much more aware of everything around me. My bedroom is fascinating and there is so much to look at. I like looking at all the animals that are painted on the wall.

Today I was sitting a little too close to Andy, the bear. I let Mommy know that maybe I was a little too close, she told me not to worry. So I won't. I'm growing fast and changing every day, but there is one thing that doesn't change; I know Mommy will keep me safe.
