I Am Clearly Not Tempted

Here are some pictures of Mommy trying to tempt me into playing with some plastic keys. I was clearly not interested in them so she finally quit trying. (Hee-hee, right after she turned off the camera I started playing with them. I LOVE to do that!)

Gobble, Gobble

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a great turkey day... I did even though I didn't get to eat any of the yummy stuff everybody else was having. I ALMOST had an olive that Mommy and Daddy were putting on my fingers and toes until one of them said, "Hey, wait a minute, I'm pretty sure an olive is a choking hazard." (Would someone put some childproofing books in their stockings this Christmas?) Anyway, I was foiled on the one time I decide to show an interest in solid food.

Daddy got me a Seahawks outfit when he went to the game last weekend with Aunt Lonee. They had a great time and I got to spend the day playing with Mommy. She's ready to start putting bows in my hair so everyone knows I'm a girl. Don't worry, Mommy, my hair is growing a lot faster now. No bows, please.

Cutest Picture Ever!

...Until the next one, anyway! Many thanks to Cousin Anna for making the bunny hat and sweater!

I'm Four Months Old!

I'm 4 months old today! Here I am doing one of my favorite things - being naked and having my diaper changed. Mommy and Daddy always sings songs to me - mostly Sesame Street songs based upon whichever character is on my diaper. "C is for Cookie" if it's Cookie Monster, "Rubber Duckie, You're The One" if it's Ernie, and then made-up lyrics to either of those tunes for any other characters.

I really love "Baby Maggie, You're The One" with Daddy's special lyrics!

Trip To Sequim

Hi Everybody! Today Mommy and Daddy took me up to Sequim to for a very busy day!

First, I finally got to meet my Uncle Denzel (Daddy's brother), Aunt Lisa and Cousin Khia! We had lunch together and then went to a park for some pictures. It was a short visit, but we'll get to spend more time together soon, I'm sure.

Then we went to visit my Great-Grandma (and namesake) and as a bonus we got to see Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jeff. I had a ton of fun and was a total show-off. In addition to the pictures we took, Mommy got a great video of me talking to Grandma!

Drool

Mommy was just importing some photos of me (I'm up to 985 in her iPhoto library!) and she thought that this one really shows what a fantastic drooler I am. Oh yeah, and that I'm really, really cute.

I've recently discovered my 'voice' and now love to make all sorts of sounds and squeals. Mommy and Daddy have been trying really hard to get this new fun on video, but just like when I first started smiling, I'm playing hard to get. I just LOVE messing with them!

My First Video!

OK, so it's not the very first video ever taken of me, but it's the first one to appear online! Mommy, Daddy and I went to Aaron and Gena's house yesterday to see their 2 1/2 year old son Soren and their 5 week old daughter Julia. It's the first time I've ever met a baby younger than me! We had a great time and I can't wait to see them again!

Here's the video of Daddy and me, then some pictures of our fun day.

First Day With Darla

Mommy went back to work full-time today. Although I miss her terribly, I get to spend all day long with Darla. She is a wonderful woman who Daddy found through some of his co-workers. She and her family live really close to Daddy's school and she has TONS of experience with day care. She's got four wonderful kids of her own and has been watching other people's kids for a long time too.

My goal is to be the cutest and best baby she's ever taken care of (aside from her own kids, of course) and so far I think I'm doing a pretty good job. But I guess only time will tell. I don't have a picture of me with her yet, but I will soon!

Many thanks to Grandma Sharon and Grandma Ellen for staying and watching me while Mommy worked part-time during October. It was so much fun to spend time with you! I've told Mommy and Daddy that they need to go out more often so that you can come and spend even more time with me! I love you!
