Standing So Much!!!

You have been getting up all by yourself and standing so much more lately. Everytime I turn around, you have yourself standing, and sometimes only holding on with 1 hand!!! You are really developing quite a personality! I love it!!!!!!!

5 More Days Until Disney!!!

GrAndi left on Saturday, but it's okay because we'll see her, Grandpa Howard and Aunt Heather in less than a week in Orlando! I am soooo excited for our trip. You are going to have so much fun. I went online to see what rides I can take you on, and I am so excited that I'll be able to hold you on Dumbo!! I don't remember a whole lot from my trips to Disney when I was little, but I certainly remember pictures of my daddy taking me on Dumbo! You know what I'm also excited for???? I scheduled a "FIRST HAIRCUT" for you at Harmony Barber Shop at the Magic Kingdom. I refuse to let you have a REAL first haircut until you're at least 1, but we'll at least do a trip...your hair is just too long. I've actually had to put your hair in a ponytail on top of your head just to get it out of your face!!!! What 8mo old do you know that needs a haircut already!?!?!?! MINE! :)

Found a Food You Like!!

Well, GrAndi and I found a type of food that you like...at least for now! It's a company called PLUM Organic and the food comes in these really cute pouches, and you attach a little spoon at the end of it and the food squirts out. So far, you like the Pumpkin & Bananas, and the Peas, Spinach & Pear! GrAndi took us out for dinner tonight and you scarfed the Peas, Spinach & Pear down!! GrAndi told me tonight that when she was watching you today, you figured out to take down this cloth teether on your crib! She said that it was on the floor today - you are so silly!!!

And now we're watching the Country Music Awards - you love the music!!!!

Sweet Potatoes, Peas & Apples!!

Tonight we tried a yummy mixture of sweet potatoes, peas & apples! I think you really liked it. You were reaching for it. Although you did not eat a lot, you did eat more than you had been - I'll take the progress! We'll just have to give you more baby food throughout the day so that you'll take more.

Just put you to bed. You didn't really nap today, so hopefully you'll go right to night night land! :)

Sweet dreams!!!!!!!

Are We Turning Into a Fussy Eater???

Lately, it has been a little challenge to get you to eat anything other than formula. You used to scarf veggies and some fruits down likt it was your job, but now, you're only taking little bites here and there. GrAndi and I went out today to see if we could find other things to get you to eat - you can't have formula forever (as much as I would like to keep you young). We're going to try some pouches of mixed veggies/oats. Yesterday, we went to the Cheesecake Factory, and we tried fresh, natural, mashed bananas - you wanted know part in that. Not sure what to do. If you're not eating more by December (your next drs. appt), I'll say something to her. I do know that refusing foods is a sign of teething. I think your other lower center tooth is coming in, too, so maybe that has something to do with it. Not sure, but hoping to find something that you like.

Happy Hour Wasn't So Happy

Tonight, daddy, GrAndi and I went for Mexican - yum!! It was happy hour so we got this yummy queso dip. You were quite fussy. I let you try guacamole to see if that would calm you down. It did for a few seconds, but you were over that pretty quickly. Not sure what's going on lately - you've been more fussy, especially when we go out to eat. Hoping to find the miracle cure to give you when you're not feeling so great. The bottle used to cure everything. :( My little girl is growing up.

On a positive note...you have your 3rd swimming class tomorrow!!! I'll be in the pool while GrAndi takes pictures! :)

Standing In Your Crib!!!!!

GrAndi arrived today. She's going to be staying with us for about 2 weeks since Michelle is out of the country!! You're going to have so much fun!!!!!!

You were a little fussy today (probably from all of the traveling we've done in the past 48 hours), so we drove up to daddy's store. You slept the entire way, which was great because we had tried to get you to nap all afternoon!! We walked around the store, and did some grocery shopping.



We gave you a nice bath, and then put you in your crib to watch Beauty & the Beast. We were all just watching, and then we looked over, and you were standing in your crib - leaning on the front railing, staring at the tv. I couldn't believe it!!! We didn't put you up there, you stood up all by yourself!!!!!
