Six months old!

Well really I turned six months old on Feb. 3, but I've been pretty cranky recently and haven't had time to update. Mommy thinks I might be teething, but I'm not gonna let her in on the secret. Hehehe.

Anyway, Mommy made a little movie of the past 6 months and all the wonderful times we've had. Hope you enjoy it!

My first solids!

Mommy gave me my first rice cereal on Saturday. I liked it! Here I am helping Mommy out.

Yummy!

Here's a little video Daddy took of me enjoying my meal. You can hear me say "hello" in it! No one seemed to really care at the moment though.



Daddy also hung my name on the wall in my room. I love the pink and brown!

Memere wants pictures!

I'm sorry to have been away for so long. I have had a couple play dates that have kept me busy and I'm also not sleeping too well at night so I feel somewhat exhausted during the day.

Anyway, Memere has requested some new pictures, so I'll upload some over the past couple months that I haven't been able to.

First are a couple pictures of me being cute.


This one is me modeling a new outfit (one of MANY) I got for Christmas.

We had some really nice days in early January when the temperatures were in the 50s. Mommy took me out for a walk in my new stroller. I LOVE being able to face forward now.

This one is just me and Mommy being silly.

I love playing with my music and singing stage!

Mommy likes to put bows on my head.

Mommy tested out my training sippy cup. I know how to put it in my mouth but didn't really care to get the milk out. She tells me this weekend I will be trying something called "solids".



A couple weeks ago, Gramma babysat me while Mommy and Daddy went out. I gave her a really hard time when she tried to put me down for a nap. She didn't know about all the swaddling and shhing techniques Mommy and Daddy have developed. Here's a picture of how I eventually fell asleep.

This last video is of me in my new duck tub. I usually splash a lot, but this time I was more concerned about sucking on the face cloth.

My first Christmas!

Sorry I haven't been around much. Mommy and Daddy were on vacation with me, and we all enjoyed some relaxing family time.

I thought now that I have a moment I would show you some pictures of my first Christmas. It was a busy time, but I enjoyed it a lot. I was passed around to everyone, but I didn't mind it at all. I'm a big girl now.

First I want to show you how my fat cat, Ellie, tried to fit into a very small box. Silly kitty.

We went to a party up in NH and I got to hang out with my cousin, Lexie. She held me and showed me how to give an awesome fashion show with all the cool clothes she got!

Then on Christmas Eve we went to see Memere and Grandpa. Uncle Matt and Auntie Alicia were there with cousin, Thijs. These are the pictures my mommy took while we were there.









Memere got a HUGE flashlight from Auntie Celeste. She turned it on and we could feel the heat on our faces. It was like the sun! The second picture gives you an idea of the brightness but it didn't come out too clear.


The next day we spent some time at Gramma's and Grampy's in the morning and we all had lunch at Memere's and Grandpa's.

I got to hang out with Uncle Mikey again. He has a cool beard I like to touch.

Gramma gave me my Christmas dress that I wore in the Christmas card we sent out.

A couple days after Christmas I went up to NH to Auntie Alida (Auntie Alicia's twin sister) and Uncle Martin's house. Thijs and I hung out and discussed all the cool things we got!

Merry (Belated) Christmas!

I was so excited to see my presents, I forgot to put my clothes on!

Super busy

I haven't had the opportunity to post in the past couple weeks so please take a gander at the following posts to catch up on all my activities! Enjoy!

Jump!

Mommy and Daddy got me a doorway jumper for Christmas. They gave it to me early because I don't really know the difference between today and Christmas.

They filmed the first time I used it. As you can see I was pretty excited!

We had visitors today

Great Uncle Donny, Great Auntie Kathy, and cousin Renee came over along with Gramma and Grampy. I wore my gingerbread red and green dress. Here are some pictures from today.

Uncle Donny and me.
Gramma and me.
Grampy actually held me too!
I had a silly face with cousin Renee, but she looked good!

Snow!

As most of you know, we got lots of snow. Daddy was showing me our backyard. I can't wait until I'm old enough to play in it!

Invitation Night in Newburyport!

Mommy, Daddy, and I went up to Newburyport for Invitation Night. It's where the stores downtown have free drinks and food and fun sales. Auntie Alicia, Uncle Matt, and Thijs invited us up to go out all together.

Isn't Thijs getting so big?

Mommy had to put my snow suit on because it was cold out. The pants make me look like I have Popeye legs.



Uncle Matt and Daddy carried Thijs and me in the Baby Bjorns. I got to face outward because I can hold up my head!
At one of the stores there was a scary singing Elvis. I eventually freaked out and Daddy had to take me out of the store.

We took some nice family pictures.



There was a very pretty Christmas tree in the center of town covered with fresh snow. Thijs's blog has a picture of all us in front of it.


The next morning Mommy tried taking pictures of me and Thijs. We weren't too cooperative.

Once we got home, Daddy took a picture of me with my chapped cheeks because I'm just too adorable.
