Missing Daddy

All dressed up for a baby shower.

Mommy says I need some work on being "lady-like."

We had an uneventful week. My pictures turned out GREAT (would you really expect anything less from me) and hopefully we get them soon so you all can have one! :) The lady turned out to be a little shady though and kept changing stuff up on Mommy so we may not go back... The photographer hunt is on again!

Helping Mommy make fruit salad.

I am enjoying the time I spend figuring out how to work my hands. They are incredible! Of course, everything has to pass a taste inspection once I get ahold of it. Mommy keeps making me wear bibs (several a day). If I don't have a toy, I like to chew on my hands or even the bib, and drool is not in short supply. I'm also figuring out this "roll" thing. I now go to BOTH sides from my back, but stop there. I did surprise myself when Mommy put me on my tummy on Saturday and I magically ended up staring at the ceiling. She kept telling me to do it again, but I'm not real sure what I did. I'll keep workin on it...

Still like the thumb and hair...
Mommy says I'm gonna be bald if I'm not more gentle.

Daddy is gone :( He is at a class ALL week in the states. He wasn't suppose to leave until Sunday, but in true work style, at the last minute, he got sent out on Friday! Mommy says we are having some great girl time. She also says I could go a little easier on her... She had the nerve to leave the room to work on laundry and I was NOT impressed! She has been using the terms "Drama Queen" and "Attention Hog" lately. I'm not sure what a hog is, but a Queen is good right? (Mommy note: I did not know this could start so young... she is SO aware! Do not worry though, she will love all of you when you meet. She has not transferred the attention to only Mommy - she loves everyone, as long as she is the center of their world! ;)

Ms. Erica at her shower (she also takes care of me).

This weekend, we had Ms. Erica's baby shower. She will be welcoming Dylan into the world in April. There were lots of Rubber Duckies there!! Ms. Alicia made a really great cake (her first time working with fondant) and I think she may have started a new career. I enlisted her to make my 1st Birthday cake! She also made some really yummy cupcakes.

The famous cupcakes...
and especially famous cake!

Today, Mommy took me to Ms. Misty's house for dinner. They work together. It was fun. Her husband is a nurse at the hospital and actually helped with my arrival into the world. I got to meet her puppies too! They are a little more relaxed that my Daisy. Misty is actually a baby nurse (in the NICU) like Auntie Jessica was, but in true military wife fashion takes whatever job is available!

Mommy told her MANY times to stay off the Boppy.
She kept walking away - until Mommy wasn't looking anymore!

Well, I think that is all this week.

Love you lots!
