6 1/2 months :)

Hi friends!! 
I hope everyone's having a great week. It's been great here in San Antonio--80+ degrees and my first day going barefoot--even if it was to Mommy's work and she was mortified that it looked trashy! I still looked cute though. 
I've had a pretty good couple of weeks and more big milestones. I got my top left tooth on Saturday and my top right tooth on Wednesday so now I've got four teeth!!! 
Then, even better, I started lifting myself up onto my knees in my crib and then on Saturday and then on Thursday evening I stood up in my crib while holding onto the edge! Both times when Mommy and Daddy came in I had the biggest grin! I am so proud of myself!! 

So I also tried a couple new foods--peas and spinach--and I ate both with no problems but really loved the spinach. Mommy can barely stand to feed it to me because it looks so dark and gross but I don't care, it's yummy :)
I'm really excited that I get to meet my second cousin Nina tomorrow! She's only going to be here a short time, but I hope we get to play together. I'm sure I'll post pictures of us later.
As for now, I've got some old pictures I found on Daddy's phone--I love his phone!--that I want to share so hope y'all enjoy and I'll see you soon :)

6 months old!!

Hey everyone!

I hope it's been a great couple of weeks for y'all and everyone had fun playing in the snow. I didn't play--in fact, I didn't even see the snow because it was all melting by the time I woke up! So I finally go to wear my snowsuit that my Grandma Carol bought which made her very happy!

I went to my first Super Bowl party at my Grammy W and J's--it's famous. I wore my football outfit and looked like a boy until I put a big bow on! I had a blast checking everyone out and routing for my team--well my Super Bowl team at least--the Packers.

I'm officially a pro crawler now. I am fast and like to pull out the books, knock down the computer modem, and am trying to get the DVDs off the shelf! I do not sit still at all--there's just way too much to see and do! I also have a cute new skill. I'll crawl to my bottle, grab it and roll over to drink. I'm also trying to get myself into my swing. I crawl to it, put my head in the seat and stand up but somehow can't manage to actually get in the seat! I'll post a video of that later!

I am getting my top two teeth in now and my bottom teeth are about halfway out. I am chewing on everything--especially anybody's fingers that I can manage to get in my mouth!

I've been trying lots of new foods. I tried beets on my 6-month birthday. I took three bites and then wouldn't open my mouth on the fourth bite! I tried carrots which I don't really like but I will eat them. I also tried yellow squash and I really like that! Here's a picture of me with the beets all over my face--yuck!

I had my six-month pictures taken yesterday and had a family picture done. They all turned out great and I'll see about scanning some in later. I got a couple of Valentine's Day gifts from my Grandma Carol and Auntie Karlie. I got a talking bear that I took pictures with and a cute guitar onesie and skull and crossbone jacket that is adorable! I am also pleased to announce that my Auntie will be staying in town another month...which I'm hoping will turn into forever!!!!
