Growing like the Flowers!

Hello... can't keep you waiting on this post, but keep checking back for me to get the travel post completed... there is a lot more to come! It has been so nice here. We are excited for more "summer" like weather!

I'm starting to figure out this sitting thing... still a little tipsy, but it's coming!


I had a good week overall. Spent some extra time with Ms. Maureen because Mommy had to catch up on some work. I am figuring out my schedule though... eating about the same and at the same time for the sitter and also taking a nap in the afternoons. Mommy says I am a very good girl for doing this. She also likes that I'm happier in the afternoon when she picks me up now. Guess I can keep taking naps so I have more time to play with her when we get home for the day!

I also spend a lot of time drooling. We use an average of 3 bibs a day and on Sunday we went through 3 pants, 4 shirts, and 4 bibs (I was spitting up a bit too). Mommy says she can't wait for my first tooth to show because she read that it gets better after number 1. We'll see...

I excitedly opened a belated Easter basket on Saturday. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Eichenberger! Mommy even let me chew on one of these eggs!
We went to dinner with our friends Misty and Julian one night. Misty works with Mommy at the school (I've mentioned her before, she is a baby nurse like Auntie Jessica was for her "real" job) and Julian is actually the nurse that helped deliver me :) He's so nice! He's also going to be the one to re-enlist Daddy on Friday... man, he's a special guy!

I got to try some bananas today! I have been giving Mommy a hard time and not really interested in the rice cereal so much anymore. Although she is still planning to make baby food for me (she's got to get a food processor), she opened a jar this morning so I could check them out... I'm likin this "solids" notion!

Always helpin'

Pucker face...
I think I like?

Oh, Sophia turned 3 this past week! She had a party on Saturday which I went to for a little bit, but then had to hurry home to get ready for dinner. Neil and Rachel came to hang out and play with me Saturday night. I even rolled tummy to back once for Mommy and Rachel, but wouldn't repeat it for Daddy and Neil... gotta keep them interested somehow ;) Sophia's little brother, Dylan, is going to born tomorrow morning!! I can't wait to tell him Happy Birthday!

I showed Daddy that I can stand by myself (with a lil help from my jumper). Cool huh?


Love you all,
