Onward to T-town!

Monday morning, this is how Mama found me! I had gathered all of my Loveys and Maudie's blanket in a pile and was snuggling with all of them. I have so many that I do not want to leave any out so I just included them all! I am so happy to see Mama and Dada in the mornings. See the smile? How could you miss it?
Then Mama dropped me off at school. I was running a little late so I went straight to the table for breakfast. I ate pancakes that morning! These are all of my friends that are in my class. Thomas, Lexie, Adam, Alexandra and me. Owen and Charlie are not in the picture.
Friday, Pops came in town with Rob so that Robert could pick him up and take him home. I had fun watching Rob play. After they left it was time to go to Tuscaloosa to stay at Nana and Pops house. Tantie Erin had a shower and a cocktail party for her upcoming wedding.
Saturday morning, I enjoyed copying my sister at the window. It was raining so she could not go outside and play in her favorite backyard. We had fun looking out together though.
I also found out that there is life outside the den. I ventured into the kitchen and had fun with the handles on the cabinets. I felt so independent but would not go to far out of eye site. Here, I was caught in the act! That afternoon, we when visiting. We went to Miss Peggy's. There, we saw Miss Lee, Mr Mark, and Miss Rachel. Miss Rachel was in town from Colorado. I had fun visiting with everyone! Then I went to Wings to see Tantie, Miss Katie, and Miss Sara. I had fun chewing on Miss Katie's bracelet and Miss Sara gave me a lemon! I was not so sure about that!
Saturday night, Pops gave me my very own cell phone! I absolutely love it! I would listen to it, chew on it and then show it to everyone a laugh! Thank you Pops!
Since I skipped my bath Saturday night, Nana gave me my bath on Sunday morning. I love taking baths. Nana thought I was cute in the big towel. She has really fun bath toys for me to play with!
This is Dada and me after my bath but before I got dressed! I love being naked! I think it is so funny! I have the best Dada in the world!
When we got home, I played on the floor with my sister and tried to share my stars with her. We played until it was time to go to lunch with Mimi and Grandpa for Grandpa's Birthday.
This is a picture of me giving him his birthday present...a hug from me!
We went to the new Italian place in Crestline. There I ate some of Mama's pizza...Yum!
I sat in my high chair for a bit but Mimi likes to give me squeezes so I also sat in her lap. She packed my very own backpack full of toys for me to play with at the restaurant.

"Sister" Daze

Friday, I spent the night with My Mimi and Grandpa so that Dada and Mama could have date night. They always send lots of cute pictures of me that I can add to my blog. In this picture they said that I am cute and I made a look like "Who...Me?" This is when I was put in time out! Just kidding but Mama and Dada thought it was funny because it looks like that is what I am doing! Ha! I fooled them...didn't I?
My Aunt Maggie is getting more used to me and I think that I may actually become one of her best friends. Of course, Mimi and Grandpa are always careful when she comes around.
Saturday, Mimi took me home and Mama, Dada, Sister and I went to Doggie Daze in Crestline. We had so much fun shopping and seeing all of the other "sisters" around. I guess I am not the only one that has a sister. There are so many different colors and shapes. They made me giggle! Mama was very impressed with the children there because they were very well mannered around dogs!
Sunday, we got up and went to church! I wore a dress that Mr Warren and Miss Brandi gave me. Mr Warren is my God Father. That means that I am extra special to him and him to me. I looked so cute! Thank you Mr Warren and Miss Brandi!
After church, Mama, Dada, and me ate at Grey House Grill. That is one of our favorite restaurants. I ate cheese, bread, and potatoes. I love to eat real food. It makes me feel like a big girl!

Miss Me?

Sorry I did not write this past week but things have been kind of hectic around here. As you can see, I was just fine on Wednesday night. I had fun playing in the laundry basket with Mama and Dada. I felt like I was in a fort. That night, I even held my bottle all by myself (actually Mama Helped me but as you can see I am clearly doing it alone in the picture.) Mama could not believe how much I am doing!The next morning when Mama came in my room, this is what I looked like! She was really worried about my little eyes so she called Dr Stacey to get an appointment. I had another ear infection and she said that it caused my tear ducts to block again and that is why my eyes look so bad! The good news was that I got to stay home with Dada Thursday and Friday and got to take the yummy pink medicine! Mama left for the weekend trip with Tantie and Aunt Weldon. Dada always takes such good care of me that she never worries! Friday night, I spent the night with Mimi and Grandpa. I enjoyed visiting with Mimi's friends at New Beacon Hospice that day and playing with my new Lion. That night I enjoyed watching my Aunt Maggie (she is a Jack Russell) play in the back yard. They even took me shopping at Mt Laurel and I helped pick out some cute outfits! I have such great style.
Monday, Mama took me to school and they quickly called her and told her that she needed to come get me. Hand, Foot and Mouth was traveling around my class and it looked like I acquired it! She took me to the doctor and sure enough...I was sick again. That day, Mimi stayed at home with me. Tuesday, Pops came up and stayed with me. Wednesday, Mama stayed with me. Thursday, I went to work with Dada and his work friend, Stacey, took care of me. Friday, I was able to go back to school. What a busy week!
When Mama returned from her trip, she decided that it was time for me to try a sippy cup for the first time. Since I can hold my bottle she thought that it would be a good idea to at least try. I feel so independent with my own cup! I am becoming a big girl. I drank apple juice and actually liked it this time.
My favorite thing to do now is read books. I have even found that they serve two purposes...knowledge and teething toy! Mama is so proud of my attention span. I can listen to an entire book and love every minute!
When Mama was on her trip, Dada took me shopping a bought this adorable outfit for me. I wore it especially for him. Gretchen really liked it too and kept kissing my feet all day. I love my sister!
Friday night, Dada went out of town for a guys weekend and Nana and Pops came in town to visit me. Nana was jealous that Pops got to spend all day Tuesday with me so she wanted some time! Mama fixed her favorite meal, Roast, Rice, Gravy, and Lima Beans. It smelled so good but I did not get to have any...too young!
Saturday morning, I had fun peeping around the corner at Mama and Nana while Pops held me. I am so cute! Sunday, Mama put me in another outfit that Dada bought so that I would look cute when he got home from the trip to Mr Bradley's hunting camp. I am obsessed with playing with toys that are not really toys and the air vent. I like to bang my blocks on it. My fun new thing is to point to things. Everyone thinks that my little pointer finger is the cutest thing they have ever seen!
Mama and Dada have to keep a close eye on me because I also am obsessed with the side tables. I want everything on them. If they are not careful, I will turn over drinks, put the camera in my mouth, and pull tissues from the box. I do love the side tables.
