A Proud Moment for Mommy

Last night was a very proud moment for Mommy - I ate Cheerios for the first time, and I LOVED them!!  They are so delicious!  I can't believe mommies were depriving me of these delicious circles of goodness!  Mommy obviously snapped many pictures of this momentous occasion.  Here are a few of the many...

Posing with that classic yellow box. (keep in mind I had carrots last night, so I have an orange face and orange fingers in a few of these....)

Absolutely delicious!!

I had more as a snack this morning.  (no orange face in these ones)  :)

Mmmmm....

Grabbing for more.  I'm getting really good at feeding myself!

Mamma and Papa's Visit!

Last weekend Mamma and Papa drove up from Arizona to come see me.  That's a loooong drive, so they must really think I'm worth it!  We had a great time!

On Friday night, we went out to dinner at Phoenix in Baldwin.  On Saturday morning we went to the St. Croix County Fair and I got to see all kinds of farm animals.  It was so much fun!  After that, we went out to dinner at Pier 500 in Hudson.  (I was pretty well-behaved considering how short my naps were all day)

On Sunday, Mamma made window treatments for the basement, then we went to Stillwater for lunch at Nacho Mama's.  (it's Mamma's favorite!) 

All in all, it was a really fun weekend, and I'm excited to see Mamma and Aunt Gigi in another month and Papa and the rest of the Morawitz family the following week!

Me, Mamma and Papa.  Thanks for visiting!!

Big Girl in the Tub!

While almost everything about me has changed since I was first born, one thing remains the same ....  I still LOVE bathtime.  Recently mommies took out the infant "sling" in my tub, and I get to sit in the tub like a big girl!  Bathtime's even more fun now.  Mommies give me toys to play with, and I love to splash around and make a mess.  Mommies are just keeping their fingers crossed that my love of bathtime will continue for a long, long time!

I Don't Need Expensive Toys ... Just Give me Some Magazines!

I don't know why mommies shop as much as they do buying me new toys.  All they really need to do is get a few more magazine subscriptions and I'll be set!  I LOVE magazines.  They're fun to rip and they're especially fun to eat!  (mommies don't mind the ripping, but for some reason, they don't like when I eat the magazines - not sure why?!)

Here are a few pictures of me during one of my latest "magazine sessions"...

Where Have I Been?

Let me start this one by saying that I am SO sorry I haven't blogged in two weeks. It's all mommy's fault.  She's been busy with work and other things, and I can't reach the computer unless I'm on her lap, so I blame her.  :)

Life has been pretty quiet since my last blog update.  (well, not completely quiet - I make a LOT of noise now)  Mommies and I have been getting into our new routine since Mommy went back to work.  Mama and I get to spend every afternoon together, which is so much fun!  We take good naps together, she gives me dinner, and we go outside a lot too. 

Here are a few random pictures from the last two weeks!

Slamming my sippy cup.

This is my "I hate peaches" face.

You talkin' to me?

LOVE my cookie jar and bongo!

Playing in my pj's.

How do you work this thing?

The baby version of plumber's crack.

Still love my jumper!!

Family Weekend at Lake Superior!

This weekend Mommies and I joined the rest of the family and Uncle Dan's family's house on Lake Superior.  I've never been to Lake Superior, and WOW, was it amazing!  It looks like an ocean!  (not that I've seen the ocean...)  :)  The family goes every year, but mommies have missed it due to weddings, out of town guests, etc, so they were excited to be able to go this year!

We had a great time! We hung out by the water, did some swimming and lots of playing.  We got in lots of good family time, and I even got to try some new foods!  I had peas (whole) and I even tried some cheese.  I LOVED both!  Here are some pics from our fun weekend!

Playing in the water!!

Mommies made a little "cabana" for me on the beach for one of my naps.  Pretty nice, right?!

Snoozing in my cabana.

Cheese is yummy!

After a long day of playing, I took a LOOONG nap with Grandpa!

Playing with my cousins.  (Ella, Leyton and Grace)

Sitting in Lucy's lap.  Lucy and I spent a lot of time together this weekend.  (Lauren's in her underwear in the background)  :)

Playing with Ella's toys - a doll and the cookie jar.  The cookie jar was my favorite this weekend!  I have the same one at home, but it wasn't open, so Mama opened it for me once we got home!

Cuddling with Mama at the hotel on Saturday night.

Mommy thinks this might be the first picture she's ever taken where you can kind of see the dimple in my left cheek.  Any idea where I got those?  :)
