I Love the Water!!

We have a really fun splash park in our community. The water is pretty cold but it's so fun to splash in all of the fountains!

Mother's Day

Mommy's a little behind on updating this thing...

I love sitting with my Great-Grammy...

I always manage to get a little snack out of it!

4 Generations!!

Sleepy Head

Church BBQ

We had a BBQ with our church last week. Mommy and Daddy had to go inside for a meeting but I got to stay outside and play!

Mrs. Dodson took these pictures of me...I think she is a good picture taker!

I like Stephanie - she took good care of me!

Double Digits!

I turned 10 months old today!!

Funny Faces

Do you like my silly face? I get lots of laughs when I do it, so now I do it all the time, even in between bites!

Look What I Can Do!

Last weekend was a sad one for mommy and daddy...they had to lower my crib all the way to the bottom so I don't jump out! Mommy is sad because she said I'm getting too big too fast and daddy's sad because he can't reach me to kiss me goodbye in the morning when I'm still sleeping.


I think it's pretty fun though...

...except sometimes my feet slip and I get stuck! (See my legs coming through the crib under the bumper?) Hopefully my legs don't get much chubbier or I might really get stuck :)

Splish Splash

I was a little unsure of the pool the first day. It was way colder than my bathtub! I decided just to sit on Gramma's lap for a while.

Daddy decided it was time for me to go in. I hung on as tight as I could to him.

Once I got in, it was so fun!


All that swimming wore me out!

The next day I couldn't wait to get in!


Splashing mommy was really fun too!

Playing in the Sunshine

Grammy and Grandpa live on a golf course so there's lots of grass to play in!



Daddy says I need to learn to not be afraid of the ball!

Happy Easter!

We got to spend a few days over the Easter week in Palm Desert with all of mommy's family. It was fun to all be together!

After church, we took lots of pictures at Grammy and Grandpa's house!

Getting ready to open my Easter basket




Reading a book with my cousin Kasey

I tried really hard to blow hard enough to make this toy spin...good thing I had Grampa to help me!

9 Month Update

Don't they say that pictures add 10 pounds? I think that's definitely the case for me! Even though I've developed some squishy cheeks and thighs lately, I'm still only in the 10th percentile for weight and height.

I had to go to the doctor again today for my 9 month check up (although it's really 9 1/2 months). I got another shot and they pricked my toe. I think all the crying when I walked into the room worked because the nurse let mommy hold me while she stuck me!!

Here is a little update:
- I weigh 18.2 pounds
- I am 26.5 inches tall
- I have two bottom teeth
- I taught myself a silly new smile (as shown in the picture above) to show off my new teeth!
- I love to stand while I hold on to furniture
- I have no interest in crawling
- I love to play peek-a-boo, read books and kiss my toys
- I give good hugs and kisses to anyone who asks!
- My favorite food is string cheese but I like my fruits and veggies too
- I still love naptime as long as I can snuggle with my pink blankie
