Yay summer!

Well, I haven't really been able to enjoy summer yet and want to get in the pool but I have been sick with a snotty nose and an ear infection so I'll just enjoy the warm sun and look forward to the pool soon. Anyhow, I'm getting lots of teeth! I have two bottom molars and a bottom tooth that popped through in the last two weeks which doesn't make me feel any better! But I did get to spend a whole day with my Grandma Carol and cousin Chloe because I couldn't go to school one day and I loved it! I want to be just like Chloe :) I also got to spend the evening with my Grandma Carol when my parents went to the Motley Crue concert. I got to play with my two Grammies today too and my Grammy taught my Mommy how to make me chicken and rice which I love!

5 things about me this week:
1. I will eat almost anything, including the label from my bottle which I choked on and then threw up for the first time which freaked my parents out. I'm also eating the edges of books which really irks my parents.
2. I got a real phone and remote and I won't put my remote down, I carry it all around the house.
3. I love to be kissed and hugged. I also wave to everyone everywhere we go!
4. I do not like to wear shoes. I would much rather chew on them than wear them but I need them to walk around.
5. I try to blow my nose. I finally don't freak out when my nose and face get wiped and now I even blow out of my mouth when I am getting my nose wiped and sometimes blow out of my nose. My parents think I'm a genius!

Grandma Carol gave me a bath. I looooove the bath!

I slept on Mommy Monday night when I was feeling cruddy with my ear infection. I wish I could sleep on her every night :)

I'm still fitting in my "bimbo" but not for much longer. I'll have to use a big girl high chair soon...

We went to the ATT store and had to wait around forever which was perfect picture-taking time!

Here I was at my doctor's appointment. I had my "daisy dukes" on and my shoes didn't match but they stay on the best! I walked the whole way into the doctor from the elevators. I'm getting so great and fast at walking!

10 months, expert walker and my 3rd double ear infection in less than a month!

It's been a busy week! I'm now 10 months, basically an expert walker and currently have my 3rd double ear infection in less than a month! I wanted to start doing something I saw on another blog that I adore so  I'll try to remember 5 things each week that are interesting about me...that might be hard!

1. I can't sit still for more than 5 seconds at a time. I am constantly on the move.
2. My favorite thing to do is clap. I clap constantly, for everything! I clap for myself, for my parents, if I hear clapping on TV. If I'm crying and my Mommy says "yay", I'll stop crying and start clapping!
3. I love getting into bed with my parents in the morning and going back and forth between them to get a hug. If Daddy's facing away from us, I'll kiss him on the back of his head.
4. I am getting tired of my oatmeal. I have refused it the last few nights. I want my food without being mixed in with my oatmeal.
5. I pull several of my parents books off of the bookshelf about ten times a day but then always grab two of my favorite books from my toy bins to carry around.

Here's a video of me walking today. I'm getting really fast and am not really crawling at all any more.

Here's a video of my cheering for the contestants on Wheel of Fortune and doing a little booty shaking!

Here's me and Daddy playing the "drums"!

Getting better at walking!

Hi Friends,

I hope everyone had a great week! Mine was pretty good with the exception of Monday when Mommy got a call from my school because I had a fever. Luckily I already had a Dr appt scheduled because I was still coughing pretty badly and my nose was running pretty badly too. Turns out I got another double ear infection. One ear was not too bad but the other one was very bad my doctor said. So I got some nasty medicine that I don't like at all, unlike the Amoxicilin that I loved!! But I feel 100x better!

It's a long weekend this weekend so I get to spend extra time with my parents which is awesome. We went to the zoo today and I loved it! I loved the bears, elephants, fish, and hippos. I figure out more and more what the zoo is each time we go. Soon I'll be directing where we go when we get there!

I'm walking better and better and crawling less and less. In fact, today, I only crawled twice that my Mommy saw and only for a couple of feet then stood up to walk. I can now stand up from sitting and don't need something to grab onto. My teachers can't believe I'm already walking because most of my class mates are not even crawling yet but I've been crawling for more than 4 months already so I was due!

I got these cute new shoes from Old Navy and am trying to figure out how to walk in them. I'm not so good at walking in shoes yet!

 I was pooped after the zoo so my parents left me sleeping in my car seat for a while--they're not winning any parents-of-the-year awards!!

You might notice that I'm a great sleeper...

Not really sure what is going on here...

This was my first try at a water fountain and I got it like a pro! This was a good way to help pass the time at the airport!

You want WHAT from me?! :)

In Missouri for my GGM Mary's funeral, I had my first bath in the bathtub without my special tub insert. I loved it and was moving all over the tub.

I had the best seat in the house on the flight to Vegas but I only slept for about 30 minutes of the 2 1/2 hour flight...then I wanted to be everywhere and talk to everyone!

I was helping unpack after we got home from Vegas :)

Walking!!!

Hi Friends!

Sorry I didn't post on Sunday. We were busy running errands and whatnot, you know, the daily grind... :)
I had a great week last week--I went to school the entire week and really love my teachers and friends already. Thursday night was extras special though. I've been taking a few steps here and there but Thursday night I truly walked...like for many feet!!! I was so excited and proud of myself! Truthfully, I had already walked at school for 10 feet or so but didn't want to tell my parents so they'd think they saw it first! Here's some of the video of me walking. 

Other than that, there wasn't a whole lot going on, but I think walking is enough for one week! 

Here are some pictures from the last week too.

 

First time being sick

Whew, it's been a nasty week! I started school on Monday and had such a great time. I love playing with all of my friends and I like my teachers a lot. I got a runny nose that started right before we left Vegas, nothing more, but Tuesday night I woke up shortly after going to be and I was burning up with my very first fever :( Then I was up off and on the whole night and scared my parents with the crying I was doing since I almost never cry. We went to the doctor the next morning and I had a severe double ear infection. So then I got my first antibiotic which has helped my ears a lot. But, I'm still congested with a runny nose and I am having a nasty-sounding cough too so I'm still not quite myself. I am really clingy and whiny now and my parents don't know what to do with that and they hope I'll get back to normal soon!

Here are some random leftover pictures from Vegas and a few other random things including my first bike ride today with my family. We're all feeling almost back to normal so we were able to go riding and it was a blast...except when my Mommy fell off her bike in the parking lot before the ride started!

Daddy took me to one of his customers and one of the ladies let me do business in her chair! She has the same 10-key as Mommy!

Here's a tiny toilet in the family bathroom at Wal-Mart. I didn't get what the big deal was but my parents thought it was hilarious! The picture doesn't do it justice because it's really only about a foot high total!

I was so pooped Tuesday at school that this is how Daddy found me when he picked me up!
