Almost 6 months old and BIG NEWS!!

Hi friends!!

I hope y'all have been doing well and enjoying this awesome weather. I sure have. I even went to the park for the first time last week and Sami came along and played with the other dogs at the dog park. She even went on the "trick" toys like the dogs that compete in the dog shows. She had such a blast and I had fun watching her play and seeing all the other dogs. After Sami was worn out, Mommy and I rode on the swing. I can't wait to go back to the park :)

I got my second tooth a couple of weeks ago, so now both of my bottom teeth are coming in and they are sure SHARP! But, my teeth sure are good to eat more foods, like bananas that I love and avocado that I tried tonight and also like! And, I'm happy to report that I do like green beans now so now I have to work on liking applesauce which after trying for the third time last week, I still don't like and literally gag!

But, the biggest news from the last couple of weeks is that I started to crawl last Wednesday. It was a little gimpy at first, but I have been getting better every day and am doing pretty well now and moving fast! Daddy caught me crawling for the first few times so Mommy could see it when she got home from work. I am going to be walking and running before long!!!

I hope y'all have a great week and I'll talk to y'all soon--literally, I'm talking like crazy :)

5 1/2 months!!

Hi there!!!

I know I've been MIA for a couple of weeks and have been keeping pretty busy and going through huge milestones! I ate my first solid food other than cereal a day after my 5-month birthday--sweet potatoes-and I LOVED THEM!!! The very next day my first tooth broke through! My parents didn't even know I was getting a tooth because I never fussed. I had been drooling a lot for a whole month so Mommy just thought I was drooling since I wanted to put everything in my mouth. Sneaky... I did so well with the sweet potatoes that I tried applesauce four days later and I HATED THEM!!! So, today I tried fresh made green beans (my Mommy, who barely cooks, loves me enough to make my food for me) and I didn't like them very much either as you can see in this video. But, Mommy didn't give me any choice and mixed them in with my cereal and it wasn't AS bad, but I still didn't like it. We'll see how I feel about them later.

I have been spending a lot of time with my Grandma Carol and Auntie Karlie since my Auntie is still in town from Seattle. Mommy even took a day off of work to hang out with the three of us and we had a girls day in Fredericksburg. I had my first "ladies" lunch at the Peach Tree restaurant. We had a wonderful time. My Grandma bought me a hat that looks like our dog Sami!

I am trying to crawl like crazy. I get up on all fours and rock forward and backwards and then propel myself right onto my face! I'm trying to get to Sami but it's going to take some time.

Here are some pictures of Auntie feeding me before Christmas--this is when I was still only getting cereal and I love my cereal. All of Auntie's babysitting sure came in handy because I stayed pretty clean while I ate. I wish my Auntie could feed me all the time and lived here in San Antonio (hint, hint!). Look how Auntie mimics my mouth movements!
