First Thanksgiving

I spent my first Thanksgiving with Mommy's side of the family in Phoenix since Daddy was in Las Vegas for a race. I met Uncle Dick and my Mommy's cousins for the first time. It was great to meet everyone. I can't wait to see them again.

Going for a ride on Uncle Dick's shoulders. I feel so tall.

Nathalee and I are helping Micah open his birthday presents. Happy 6th Birthday Micah.

Who's that baby in the mirror?

Even since I was a little baby, I have enjoyed interacting with that baby in the mirror. One day, Mommy caught it on video. Enjoy...

Wagon Rides

Nana and Aunt Dia have been taking Caitlin and I on wagon rides in the neighborhood. Poppy built wagons for Caitlin and I. Caitlin's is a Panther Flyer for the Amphi Panthers (Uncle Ben's basketball team). Mine is a black and white police cruiser. Sometimes Caitlin would rather pull me in the wagon rather than ride in it.

Where are you taking me, Caitlin?

Let's go, Poppy!

Best Buddies

Here is a video of Caitlin pulling me in the wagon. I had a god time even though she kept trying to go off the sidewalk.

Hide and Seek

Mommy let me play on the floor in my bedroom while she put laundry in the dryer. She figured I would be in the same place when she returned, but I surprised her. In less than two minutes I moved from the middle of the floor to under my crib. I was so proud of myself.

Can you find me, Mommy?

Look what I did. I'm not scared.

Peek-a-boo

7 Months Old

Today I am 7 months old. I weigh approximately 15.5 pounds. As you can see I have grown a lot. I am usually a very happy baby with a good personality. I am teething a lot but I don't have any teeth yet. I can go from a seated position to a lying position and I roll around on the floor to get where I want to go. I get up on my hands and knees and rock, but I haven't crawled yet. I love playing on the floor with my toys and playing with my cousin Caitlin. My favorite toys are a ring stacker and Mr. Moose. You may remember Mr. Moose from one of my very first posts (Thank you Uncle Dave). I am not as excited about my jumper as I used to be because I don't have enough freedom, but I do like it for short periods of time. Compare these pictures to previous month birthdays to see how much I've grown.

I've almost outgrown my changing table.

Who's that big girl in the car seat?

Gracie's Birthday Party

I went to my first children's birthday party today. Daddy's second cousin's daughter, Gracie, turned one-year-old. We had a good time. I played with Gracie and Caitlin and we played pin the tail on the donkey. Pretty soon I will get to have a birthday party. Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Caitlin, Gracie, and I

I didn't have to wear a blindfold and I still didn't win. Oh well, maybe next time.

Taking a Bath

I love bath time. Mommy and Daddy have to put my baby tub in the big bathtub because I have learned how to splash. I also like to reach and grab for anything I see, so they can't bathe me in the sink anymore.

Splish splash I was taking a bath....

Mom, I wasn't ready to get out.
