Growing Up Too Quickly

I have been so busy, growing up before my parents' eyes! Learning to hold my own bottle...
Swimming for the first time! I loved the water!

My mom wants to know why only babies look cute this pudgy???

I'm ready! Let's go!

Swimming was fun, but tiring! I like to just relax with my daddy and watch tv...

More water! I love baths, too!

Yay! Grandma came to visit and I love seeing her! She takes such good care of me!

Eating food for the first time! I didn't realize that the food was supposed to go IN my mouth and not all around it!

I'm a pro at flipping over!

Mother's day with my mommy, daddy, Honey and Bear and Aunt Megan and Uncle Kyle. My mommy said because of me she had the best day ever!

No, not potty training yet---mommy was keeping me safe during a storm! Daddy laughed at us but who would have been safe if a tornado hit???

Bear had his big flashlight and I had my little one, in case the storm hit...

Mommy is teaching me early about the finer things in life- like pampering myself. Here I am at my first pedicure! As you can see, Mommy has also taught me the importance of staying abreast of current events...









I am also well-travelled- I went back to New Orleans for the Jazz Fest, and got to hang out with Grandma...

... While mommy and daddy were with Aunt Ginny watching Billy Joel in the rain.

Young and Restless!

I think my mommy and daddy want me to grow up faster than I actually am... Daddy, I'm barely big enough for this chair!!



I LOVE spending my days with Ms. Roselyn while mommy's working!




The sweet ladies at my daddy's office had a 'sip and see' so that everyone could see me... and I just wanted to stare at these mesmerizing balloons!






I got to see my cousin Reeves at Honey and Bear's house...





Umm, who is this and why is he touching me??











Lumpy love is getting lumpier!!









Easter in New Orleans where I got to see "aunt" Kristi and Madeline!!







This looks a little like me, but it's my mommy!

I loved my Easter dress - thanks Granddaddy and GrandMary!

Easter with my mommy's family was such fun- and my first brunch! I feel like such a big girl!

I got to see my grandaddy who liked to nap with me....

And GrandMary, who took me shopping!

Deep thoughts... Eat, poop or sleep- what should I do??

I wonder if the FED monetary policy will affect the current economic downturn... Just kidding! Still just thinking of eating, pooping or sleeping!

I am pretty sure I'm just a baby and not any kind of food, but for some reason my mommy keeps saying she wants to "eat me up"....

While in New Orleans, I got to see Horton Hears a Who with all of my cousins!

Where I was a big girl and watched the movie just like everybody else! It's a really good thing I'm not old enough to be embarassed by my mommy, who took a picture in the movie...

These Are the Days of My Life

I've been working on holding my head up like a big girl... I think I can do it...










Yay! I did it!













Whew-I need to rest now!

I had fun visiting with my "aunt" Courtney!












We had a snow day! Mommy bundled me up and daddy made a snow angel- all for me!!













I LOVE snow days!!











Playing in the snow is hard work- I need a break!














I had a fun time celebrating my cousin Carter's birthday with him- can you see my big smile!??













Mommy calls me 'lumpy love'...














Swinging away....












Thank you, thank you very much...









Which one of these is not like the other...

As My World Turns

Wide awake and getting to know my new world....My mommy says she likes it when I'm alert and can look at her!










Every day I'm more and more alert...












Not so awake here...















It's mommy's favorite night of television! We had a girl's night and watched the Oscars together!Actually, mommy only let me watch the red carpet pre-show, then it was bedtime for me :(









My first crush!!














This is me in my bedtime 'miracle' blanket. Daddy calls me his taco...
















My wrists! I found them! And they rattle, too!














I was really hungry but realized quickly that this big thing wouldn't satisfy my appetite...













Honey gave me this sweet dress...I feel pretty, oh so pretty...













Strrrrrretch... I LOVE to do this when I wake up...
