FIVE months!

First, Happy Belated Easter

and

Happy 18th Cara on your longest birthday ever!

Wow, can you believe that I have been entertaining you for 5 months? SO much has happened these last two weeks, I'm not sure where to begin...

Sorry I didn't post last week, but I was busy entertaining my uncle and cousins and trying to pack for my first BIG road trip!

Okay, I decided there was just so much going on that this post would be dedicated to ME and then later this week (a couple days or so) I will post pics from all our travels/ countries visited.



Mommy and I pretty much just spent a couple of days getting ready for our company while Daddy was in Germany and then on the 3rd I got to pick up my Uncle Chad and cousins Jake and Cara from the airport. After that, it was all about FUN, FUN, FUN! All of that will be in the next post...



Back to me...



I have had a very busy two weeks. I have learned:



1. I sleep VERY well in the car (making for long nights once we reach our destination).



2. Teething BITES! I was a drooly, diaper rash crank for a lot of the days our company was here. I couldn't help it though - do you know what that feels like?

I love to suck on my lower lip :)

3. Baby orajel is magical... if only Mommy and Daddy would have figured that out sooner!

4. I know how to work my Daddy :) He doesn't like it when I holler in public so when I do, I don't have to ride in my pushchair... he carries me!!

5. I LOVE rice cereal. Mommy should just give me the spoon. She doesn't shovel fast enough!

Give me the spoon!

Uncle Chad, you opening your mouth does not help.





6. Dying Easter eggs was kinda fun - but they wouldn't let me eat the eggs or drink the dye.

The box was also tastey!

7. I have MASTERED the roll-over (back to front) and even managed a slight tumble - No worries, it wasn't far and I will go on to suffer bumps over and over and over...

I am also working on sitting up. I love it and just need to get a little more strength and balance, plus this is an ideal position to play with my toes!



8. Did I mention in my last blog that my feet are DELICIOUS?



9. I am growing. The boys weighed me on the produce scale, just over 15lbs! I also had to make my jumper taller.

I swear this caterpillar comes off...

10. It is way more fun sleeping with Mommy (I also learned this in Germany). Not sure why she is so insistent on getting me to stay in my crib... I am determined to try to win this battle.

Finally, another "one-of-a-kind" onsie:

Love to you all and stay tuned for the travel post!
