Happy Thanksgiving!!

Whew, what an eventful few weeks I've had! I've been so busy, I haven't even had time to write! I have been very busy rolling over these days. I started rolling from my back to my belly almost two weeks ago and I have been going crazy with it! Sometimes I can roll myself back over to my back, but generally when I'm on my belly I get frustrated after a few minutes and grunt enough that my Daddy rolls me back to my back--but I then  quickly get back to rolling over. I won't even sleep on my back anymore which really worries my parents but I don't give them a choice because any time they put me back on my back, I just roll right back over!  My parents are sure I'll be crawling by Christmas because I definitely have the strength and I try really hard to move, but I can't seem to get any traction. If I see my toy, though, I do eventually make my way to it, but it is more of a scooching side to side that gets me there versus crawling!


I went to my first craft show last weekend. I got a beautiful dress, an adorable onesie, and two winter hats. I love wearing hats and the ones I got are so cute. It got cold enough today to wear them but they didn't match my outfit so as soon as I am coordinated, I will take some pictures.


I celebrated my first Thanksgiving with my Grandma Carol and my Grammy Wandie and Jerry and Esther (Grandma Carol's neighbors) at the Westin which is one of Mommies properties. My Grammy J was sleeping because she didn't get the holiday off. I didn't get to eat any of the food but I've been told that this will be one of my favorite holidays because all of my Grammies are great cooks! I wore a little black dress that my Mommy wishes I could wear everyday because she said I was adorable in it.




I am back to talking a lot. I took some time off from talking the last few weeks but I'm back at it. I however am not such a fan of people other than my parents lately. I don't like when people put their faces close to mine--I need my personal space. A lot of people tried to talk to me at the craft show, but I was not interested. I am entertained enough by my parents and my own reflection.

3 Months Old!!

I turned 3 months old on Wednesday. I had a pretty busy week. I went to the gym a few times, went to the chiropractor and got my first adjustment, played a lot, started doing sit ups and tried to feed myself.


I got this onesie from my Grammy's neighbor and I wore it on Halloween before I put on my cow costume. I know this first picture is blurry but Mommy thinks it's adorable because you can tell how much Daddy is making me laugh.




Mommy came in to get me for breakfast one morning this week and I was in the very corner of the crib with one of my arms completely dangling out of the crib. Mommy's scared I'm going to break an arm but I know what I'm doing!


 Here are a couple of pictures of me and Mommy at her company's softball game two Fridays ago. I just got these uploaded so I know they're a bit late, but I wanted to show you the outfit my Grandma Carol got me. It's so cute and I will be wearing it a lot this winter!

 I went shopping with Daddy and Mommy yesterday and had to try on a few things before we could buy anything. I really liked these earmuffs and the kittie hat. The earmuffs will be perfect for when there's bad stuff on tv or Daddy says a word I'm not supposed to hear! We actually didn't end up getting either of these things, but I did get a cute outfit from Naartje and some long-sleeved onesies and a little black dress from Gap. I can't wait to wear my dress to Thanksgiving dinner at one of the hotels that Mommy's works with.


At the mall today, we sat down to eat and I wanted to show Mommy how I can hold my own bottle because Daddy sees me do it all week but Mommy never feeds me with a bottle so she doesn't get to see it. When Mommy put the bottle in front of me, still with the cap on, I grabbed it and put it to my mouth and kicked my head back to drink, but didn't get any milk because the cap was on the bottle. Mommy took off the cap and I kept trying to get the bottle in my mouth and was pretty successful but then I couldn't lift the bottle up to get the milk out. So this video doesn't get the funniest part of the day when I kicked my head back, but it shows what happens when I try to feed myself.

I love football--my Daddy's prayers have been answered

I got to watch a little football on Halloween at my grammies' house. I love to make the calls and cheer on my teams. My Daddy and Grammy Wandie love that I love football.

Halloween with my Durben cousins

I wanted to add this video to the post from yesterday so y'all can see the costumes better. (Don't mind my Mommy's video skills--she doesn't have the best control and she wasn't drinking!)
