Busy Girl

This past weekend my crazy Mom and Dad put me in the car for another loooooong trip...8 hours to be exact! This time we headed to San Angelo for my Daddy's 10 year high school reunion. I must brag on myself...I was an absolute champ the entire way there...sickness and all. Yes, after almost 3 miserable weeks, my cold has still not gone away! Yuk! This runny nose and cough business is really annoying. At least the fever is finally gone!!!

Anyway, we got to San Angelo on Friday afternoon and spent the weekend with family and friends. I had so much fun playing with Nettie, Pappy, Daddy G, Crystal, Ava, Grayson, Grant, Missy, Chad, Jill, Cayson and many, many more! I even got to meet my cousin, Shauna. My mom and dad have been telling me about her since I was born, but she's been MIA (aka...in New York) for a long time doing some "stuff" for school.

On Sunday, I got to go to my very first pumpkin patch! Mommy & Daddy thought this was a prime opportunity to take lots and lots of pictures. Don't I look cute?!?!




We made the long journey back to McAllen on Monday and once again, I was a trooper! I didn't fuss one bit until that last stinkin' hour....geez louise....I tried so hard to be good, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I wanted out of that car!!!! I can't wait until we get to move somewhere where I don't have to ride in the car for hours and hours to go see my peeps! Ugh..this car business is getting old!

We've been taking it pretty easy ever since we got back home. Mommy put me on the floor for some play time on Tuesday and I showed her my newest trick...SITTING UP!!! Don't get all excited yet...I can't quite do this on my own, but if my mom puts me down in the sitting position I can stay there for about 20 seconds before I topple over like a bunch of bowling pins! I can't wait until I can sit up by myself. It's a lot more fun than laying on my belly all the time!

Yesterday mom broke out my new highchair since I am now a big girl who eats cereal on a daily basis! I really, really like my bright and colorful chair. It's super fun to sit and play with my toys and watch mommy cook dinner. I'm still not exactly crazy about the food that is shoved in my mouth while I am sitting in this chair, but I'm getting more and more tolerant of it everyday! I hear veggies are in my near future...maybe I'll enjoy those more than that white stuff they call cereal!

4 months old!!!

Hello friends! First off, let me tell you that I've decided to take over this blog business since my mommy can't seem to come up with anything interesting to say these days.

We went to Grant and Missy's house in Austin this past weekend since my daddy had a 3 day weekend. I had sooooo much fun playing with my cousins, Ava and Grayson. My aunt Tara came and spent the night with me and Mimi and Poppy came to have lunch with us on Sunday. I also got to meet one of mommy's good friends named Ashley and her 15 month old son, Jace. Wow...he's a quick little fellow. Maybe someday I'll move as fast as he does!

Today was my 4 month wellness check-up!!! Can you believe I'm already 4 months old! Whew- that time sure did go by fast! Dr. Naylor said I'm growing like a weed. I weigh 14 lbs, 5 oz. and I am a whopping 25 1/2 inches long. Holy moly...that puts me in the 90th percentile for my height. Apparently I'm going to be very tall like my mommy! I'm also SUPER excited because I get to start eating real food now.....well, that is if you consider rice cereal real food! Mommy is going to wait until daddy comes home today to give me my first "bite". I'm pretty sure a video will be coming soon to show you how I do with the new grub.

All-in-all, I'm doing great! I love to "talk" and smile at mommy and daddy. I've recently become quite interested in holding my toys and putting everything I touch into my mouth. I also love, love, love to chew on my hands. Mommy thinks I might be teething, but I sure hope not! I am so NOT looking forward to that business!

Thanks for stopping by and checking in on me! Hope you enjoy my "new and improved" blog!
