Look at my first 2 teeth...

8 Months Old

Trying to get an 8 month old to sit for her monthly picture was quite a challenge. But here is our big girl letting Mommy and Daddy know who is in charge and on the move!

Great Minds Think Alike

Legend has it in my family that my Uncle Jim had "plentiful" cheeks as a baby, much like myself. They say he would hide food in his cheeks to be saved for later. I myself, have also discovered this brilliant gift. It manages to make everyone happy. Mommy's happy because she thinks I'm finally eating something and I'm happy because I can stop having food shoved in my face. Then throughout the next hour or so, I gradually let the stored food dribble out of my my mouth, and no one suspects a thing!


I realize there is no polite way to show a photo of my new found attribute, however here is me, with my cheeks jam-packed and ready for "Operation Dribble". I just had to give a "shout out" to my Uncle Jim and let him know that great minds think alike!

Look what Daddy Brought Home...

...a new bike seat for me

and a helmet that he picked out himself!

It's a little big, but we make it work!

Bye Mommy, see ya later!

Then we went on a family bike ride.

Mommy would like it noted that she is taking this picture while riding her bike, and if you know my Mommy's bike riding skills, then you know that is pretty impressive!

I love bike riding!

Movin' on Up!

Whaley and I were talking it over this morning, and we decided...

It was time I moved to the big bath tub!

Which meant more room for bath toys!

And mohawks!

That is SO much better than the baby tub! Love it!

Happy Grandparents' Day!

To both my Grandmas, Grandpa, Grumpy, and Grandpop- thank you for being the BEST grandparents a little girl (and grand-dog) could ask for!

I'll Do it Myself!

Many of you have been asking how the solid foods have been going. She wasn't too interested in them at first, then we went on vacation and she ate well for her Grandma, cousins, and Aunts. When she returned back home, she wouldn't eat for mom and dad again until...
Miss Independent discovered the spoon herself!

Now that's what I call fun at meal time!

Look Who's Cookin' in the Kitchen!

Someone was looking for something to do...

Then, came up with a great idea...

I'll help Mommy in the kitchen (she needs all the help she can get)!

Wow...these can get really LOUD!

This is great, I think I'm going to love cooking!

Game Day!

On Saturday, we celebrated our first college football game day by cheering on Florida State at noon and University of Alabama later in the afternoon. Of course we dressed for the occasion!

Go Noles!!

Roll Tide!!

7 Months Old

Our Trip to Grandma's Florida Beach House

We had so much fun this week. We spent time with Aunts, my Uncle, Grandparents, & cousins.



My cousin turned 10 and we celebrated her "birth-week". We made this 5 layer rainbow princess cake for her birthday!



The girls showed off their new cheerleading uniforms and cheers!



Lots of laughs with grandma!


Daddy taught me how to float!



Lots of games during rainy days.



Chocolate fondue!!!




My cousins sharing the baby pool with me!



All my cousins took turns feeding me. I won't eat for Mommy, but I ate for them!



I had fun talking with the girls!



Grandma brought presents!





Beautiful sunsets!



We had such a wonderful week! Thanks Grandma!
