I am 6 months old today!

I sat up all by myself today. I thought I would wait until my six month birthday. It was a little present for my mommy. We laughed about it for several minutes.
Grandma rocked me to sleep every night while we were at her house. She sang me a song about a goose and a feather bed. She used to sing that song to her very own kids when they were little.
This is Sammy. He taught me how to sit up all by myself. His mommy and my mommy have known each other since the eighth grade. They are truly old friends who have been through a lot together. Mommy is always telling funny stories about her adventures with Sammy's mom. Sammy and I are two months apart.

These are my friends Madalin and Haven. Madalin is a dancer and an artist and Haven is sweet and very thoughtful. We played together while mommy caught up with her best friend in Greenville. They have a little brother, Ezra. Ezra would not leave my daddy's side.
Ezra missed being able to sit in backwards car seats, and his binkie. He and my daddy talked about golf clubs and putters. Ezra really does love golf.
While we were in Greenville, mommy wanted to see all of the leaves, she said they are not as pretty in Charleston. Mommy loves Autumn.
My mommy loves my daddy so much. Sometimes, when he is not paying attention mommy takes pictures of him. Mommy thought daddy looked deep in thought here, not to mention handsome and she wanted to capture the moment.

My First Christmas in November!

Grandma put this tree up so that we could celebrate Christmas in November

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble, Gobble. My very first Thanksgiving! I am so thankful that Grandma is such a good cook. My mommy ate so much and it was good. I sat at dinner table and joined in all of the conversation. I am saying Da-da now and boy it gets them every time. If I am feeling the need for a little attention all I have to do is say da-da and someone comes running. But most interesting, is every time I say da-da it is usually daddy that comes to play with me. I wonder if there is a connection. I do love my daddy so much, and he loves me.
I am going to Pittsburgh for Christmas so, my grandma decided to have my Christmas on Thanksgiving. I got to open my presents with no help, well mommy helped a little, but only after I tried to eat the wrapping paper. I couldn't resist. It was red! I am so fortunate. I am so loved. Grandma gave me two warm dresses for a Christmas in Pittsburgh and some toys that light up and play songs. She is so sweet. My Aunt Vickie, gave me a rocking chair that was hers when she was little and then later it was my mommy's when she was little. My Aunt Vickie, we call her Sissy, saved it all this time for me. She said I have to give it to my little girl. She put a fresh coat of paint on it. There is one piece of the chair that is broken and it was fixed over 40 years ago with duct tape. Sissy left that there to add character. Mommy said there is a picture of her sitting in that chair. She cried a little bit. Sissy really is very thoughtful and sweet.
Daddy, who I think might be da-da took this picture. My mommy was very surprised to see this chair.

My 6th month!

Hi. I have been so busy this past month and I am changing so fast. The weather is getting chilly. Mommy says her favorite season is finally here. She likes to dress me up in these hoodies and then go for walks to look at the leaves.

My Grandma came to visit. She brought her doggy Max. She played with me while mommy and daddy went to an Elton John concert. The next night all of us went to an oyster roast. Mommy and daddy showed me a comet in the sky, and I watched the big fire in the middle of the yard.

Max is my new friend. When he is at my very own house, he doesn't let my dogs near me. He has a fluffy tail that I like to grab. Max doesn't like that very much.

Boy, I thought I'd play a joke on my mommy and not move my left arm for a day. My first time mommy took me to the ER where they thought I needed this big ol cast on my arm even though the three x-rays showed nothing wrong. As soon as I mustered up some strength to move my arm I tried to show mommy that I could move it just fine, but I still had to see another doctor whom after three more x-rays said she couldn't see anything wrong either! I'll never try that trick again.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I was A Little Stinker. Halloween was fun. Mommy, Daady and I went to Ms. Yvonne's house and we had a block party candy buffet. I saw faries, snow white, batman, nurses, dragons, and leopard girl. This week I am learning how to eat solids. So far so good. I love solids. It's kindof hard to eat them, but I am getting the hang of it! Mommy is making my food. She is learning how to manage her time. We haven't really gotten into a routine yet, but I just don't think mommy and routines go together to well, infact it gets really crazy around 5:30! Watching her is really entertaining. Daddy thinks my food is an airplane and I am a hanger. I just go with it. It makes him laugh. Acutally, he is the funny one. He makes all these funny noises and loopty loops the spoon. It cracks me up. He is so silly. In the meantime, I am working on sitting up by myself. Mommy introduced me to two of her favorite friends, John and Kelly. They surprised her and stopped by one afternoon. They double kissed me the whole time. It was really fun.
