Footprints in the Sand

It is official I have had my 1st trip to the beach. The Atlantic Ocean was cool. The beach was very beautiful. I got to put my feet in the sand and the water. The water was very chilly but since it was my very first time at the beach it was ok to get them wet.

What A Busy Week

I have had a busy week meeting lots of new people. On Tuesday night, I got to go out to eat with Momma, Daddy and the scheduler for my Daddy's project. I think we might have stayed out kind of late because when we got home I wanted to take a nap on Daddy's shoulder before going to bed. Daddy has the best shoulder for napping.




We took Abbi and Bailey to the park to run because they had way too much energy for our backyard. At the park Daddy said you girls have eyes too big for there own good. Momma had to explain that he says that because we have big eyes and when we don't have our sunglasses on we squint.

On Saturday, Aunt Pam and Jeffrey came to visit me for the day. It was the shortest visit I have ever had with someone. They were only here for 24 hours. We took them to the Farmers Market our favorite place to go on Saturdays. Jeffrey was constantly looking at all the pretty Carolina girls.

The Bumbo

This week I got a new 'toy'. It is called a Bumbo. It is really a chair that helps me to learn how to sit up. The Bumbo is really cool because it helps in strengthening my stomach muscles. Since my parents got me the Bumbo they figured it would be nice to have a family picture. The only problem is that some of us didn't want to look at the camera.

While I was in my Bumbo seat I was having a lot of fun with Momma when she was singing and talking to me. I am sure glad Momma and Daddy decided to get me this Bumbo seat. It is nice to get to be sitting up instead of laying on the floor looking at the ceiling.

USMC - Keeping me warm

I was taking a nap in my pack n play while Momma was working yesterday. She must have been getting cold because she put one of her sweatshirts on me as a blanket. When I woke up it was her USMC sweatshirt. She wanted to share this with everyone especially 'uncle' Todd, I know it will make him very proud.

Fun Filled Fall Weekend

Since it is Fall we decided it was time to go to the pumpkin patch. At the pumpkin patch I was having fun right up until Momma decided it would be a good idea for me to have a picture with the big pumpkins. I was not to happy about it and I really didnt't like the people around me saying 'Aww that poor little baby.'
When we finally got home I was in a much better mood. I have really been mastering my smiling this week. I am learning lots of new things like making bubbles, sticking my tongue out, grabbing at my toys, and standing up. I know I might be little but my Daddy says I have much stronger legs than he would have imagined I would have at such a young age. I have also been working on lifting my head up when laying on my belly, but I don't like laying on my belly too much so I tend to get mad at Momma and Daddy when they decide it is time for this activity.

I got to do my very first arts & crafts project: making hand and foot prints out of plaster. I think I had much more fun than my Momma and Daddy because everytime they would put my hand in the plaster I would squeeze my hand. Then they would have to wash it off and start again. They gave up on the hand print and decided to do my feet instead. My Momma said that this is like some of the projects she does with my cousins Kalee Jo, Olivia and Aida. Maybe they will do some projects with me when I am older.

SMILES

I am so excited that I have a new milestone that I have to share it with everyone: I have mastered SMILING!

Daddy loves it when I start smiling at him. It makes him so happy. Since I am a smart girl I know that making Daddy happy will pay off when I am older. I do not understand it yet but I have heard that I will be wrapped around Daddy's Little Finger.

Visitors, Make for a BUSY Weekend

This weekend was very special because Grandama, Grandpa Ray and Aunt Jenna came to visit me. When I woke up on Saturday morning Momma brought me downstairs and right there on the deck with Daddy was Grandpa Ray! I was excited to see him and he must have been excited too, because he took me from Momma and whisked me down to see Grandma. After showing off my bedroom to everyone it was off to the Farmers Market.

Grandpa Ray pushed me in my stoller all around the Farmers Market. When we had enough of the Farmers Market we went shopping on King Street. Aunt Jenna really liked the shopping on King Street. I am glad that someone got to enjoy it since I am only allowed to browse according to Daddy. At the bike shop I was tired of all the browsing so I just hung out with Grandma. After the bike shop we decided it was time to go and visit at home.

On Sunday, I got to wear one of my church dresses. I was really excited becuase I only get to wear them on special occasions. This is actually the first time I could 'fit' into one of them. Momma said I can only wear them to church and when I get home I have to take them off and put on regular clothes. This was confusing since everything I wear are clothes -- what makes them regular? I suppose I will have to learn about that when I get older. Unfortunately this was a sad day too because Grandma, Grandpa Ray and Aunt Jenna had to leave. I made sure to get a some special time with Aunt Jenna since she really likes to shop I have to learn the ropes from her.

BAD Hair Day

One day when my Momma and I took a nap together; I woke up with bad hair. My Momma was laughing pretty hard about it especially when she was taking my picture. I didn't think it was too funny at all. On this day I should have had on my 'Bad Hair Day' onesie.
