Happy Mother's Day!

Sunday was mommy's first Mother's Day. We celebrated by going to brunch with mommy's friends Julie, Woody, and Scooter, and Uncle John. I had a lot of fun at brunch eating eggs, french toast, and some fruit. After brunch me and mommy went home and just hung out all day because it rained all day.

Saturday I went shopping with mommy and Julie at the outlet mall in Leesburg. Mommy got lots of new clothes for herself and for me. We had a lot of fun, but it wore me out! Then Julie came over and her and mommy hung out last night.

I now have my own cabinet in the kitchen that mommy put tupperware in for me. So my new favorite thing to do is go into my cabinet and empty it all out! It is so much fun!

Me and mommy are really missing daddy. We watch one of his videos that he made reading me a book everynight. Mommy emails with him every day.

A Fun Day at the Park

Me and mommy survived our first week without daddy, although we miss him a lot and wish he was here with us! On Saturday me and mommy took the car to get its oil changed and then we just hung out all day at home. Uncle John came over to help out and cut the grass for mommy. Then Uncle John played with me for awhile before he left.

Today me and mommy went to lunch with Julie and Woody. I was a pretty good girl. I ate some of my fruit, some cookies, and french fries! I love french fries! After lunch, we all went to the park because it was such a nice day. I got go on the swing with Julie, down the slide with mommy, and I sat on the see saw with mommy's help. But my favorite part of the whole day was crawling around the grass while watching the other kids run around. I had so much fun crawling around and I even tried (sometimes successfully) to eat the grass!

Time for me to go to bed now. I am wiped out from my day at the park!

Missing my Daddy!

Daddy left on Sunday to go out of the country for about 3 months for work. Even though it's only been 3 days, I already miss him very much. The last couple of days that he was here we spent a lot of time together. On Friday, he picked me up early and we went into the city and had lunch with one of daddy's friends and then we went to visit mommy at work.

On Sunday night me and mommy took daddy to the airport. They let us go to the gate with him, so we all had one last dinner together before he left.

Before he left, daddy videotaped himself reading a few of my favorite books. Mommy has showed me three of them so far and I love watching them. Tonight I sat and watched daddy and giggled the whole time.

Other than helping daddy get ready for his trip and keeping mommy company now that daddy is gone, I have enjoyed playing with my new house that mommy and daddy bought before daddy left. It's a two sided house and I love crawling through the door and flipping the light switch on and off.

I'm getting stronger on my feet and have been taking a few steps while holding on to and moving along the couch. Mommy thinks it won't be too much longer until I try to take some steps on my own without holding on to the couch.

Time for me to go to bed. Hopefully I'll write more this weekend.

I'm on the move!

I've been crawling like a champ for the last three weeks. Mommy and daddy are having a hard time keeping up with me. Once I set my sights on something, I am off to the races! I also started pulling myself up to the standing position a few days ago and it's now my favorite thing to do. I like to pull myself up on my purple toy box and reach in and pull out all of my toys! I also pulled myself up in my crib this morning.

We're almost all settled into our new place and I love it! I have so much more room to explore and there is lots of room for all of my toys. I even have a little backyard now!

I have three teeth now, I just got my first one in on top about two weeks ago. Mommy and daddy are still trying to fatten me up, although I went to the doctors last week and I gained 2 pounds in 6 weeks, which made everyone happy. I now weigh 16.9 pounds.

Eating Lots of New Foods!

In order to fatten me up, mommy and daddy have been giving me all kinds of new food! I have eaten macaroni and cheese, lasagna, pizza, graham crackers, nilla wafters, pancakes, cheese, toast and even an occasional oreo cookie! My favorites so far are lasagna, pizza, oreo cookies, and nilla wafers.

In the past coulple of weeks, I've gone bowling twice and I went to Chucky Cheese's. Mommy, daddy, and their friends, Woody and Julie, went with me to these places. We had lots of fun! I am now starting to do the army crawling and I get up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth. Mommy thinks I will be crawling on all fours any day now. I still haven't gotten my top teeth in, but I sure hope they come in soon because sometimes it really hurts when they're trying to push through. I like to talk a lot now and say lots of things like da-da, ma-ma, ba-ba, and ya-ya. Right now mommy and daddy are trying to teach me to wave bye-bye. Sometimes I do it but I'm not real sure what it means yet. Next week we are moving, so it may be a little while before mommy is able to set up the computer for me to write some more.
