Grandma and Grandpa Babysit

Well, it finally happened. Mom and Dad wanted to go somewhere without me. It was their 4th wedding anniversary so they went out for dinner. So I got to spend the evening with my grandparents. All I can say is...phew!

First, Grandma has written her own blog post, so you should read that, too.

But I will include some of the videos she took here as well. First, grandma wears me out before bedtime:




And then the next morning, they secretly put me in this swing without telling Mom and Dad:





All I can say is, it's a wonder I made it! Like I said, phew!

Luv you, grandma and grandpa!

Whose ears are these?

Ok, if you are a relative of mine, Mom and Dad would like for you to go and look in a mirror and see if you have the same ears that I do. Yes, they stick out at the top and Mom and Dad want to know where they came from. Go now. I'll wait.

No? Not you? Or maybe it is you and you don't want to confess that you gave me these ears? That's ok, we think they are the cutest ears ever! Even though they tend to fold forward when I lean against things...sigh.

Grandpa Don's Family Reunion

Dad, Mom, Uncle Fred and I travelled to Snowshoe, West Virginia to meet Grandma Betty and Grandpa Don for Grandpa's Family Reunion. This was my first two-night trip away from home!

First, getting there...this is me in the car:

Whoa! Those West Virginia roads are curvy! Thank goodness I was there to comfort Night Night Bunny. He held my hand very tightly when he got scared.

The reunion is hard to find...even with GPS:

We finally arrive and Dad finds me a wildflower:

This is me and Grandma:

She also wrote a wonderful blog entry about our trip!

This is me and Grandpa:

I am so happy to get to spend time with them! We had lots of fun playing and laughing together! Here we are in our hotel. It had three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen (so Mom could make my ummms). Mom made sure to use all three bathrooms at least once. This is me playing in the living room:

We also visited a Civil War Battlefield. There was a field and some graves. And this thing that I examined with Dad, I guess it used to go "kaboooomie!"

Until next year!

I'm 6 months old!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. We were having camera trouble and computer trouble. Ahhh, technology! I promise to go back to two posts a week from now on! Since my last post, I passed a milestone - my 6 month birthday!

We celebrated with cake (ok, I didn't get to have cake, just Mom and Dad):

I have also reached two developmental milestones! I now eat "ummms" (solid food) twice a day and I can sit up!! See?

I also had my 6 month checkup. I weighed 16 lbs, 5 oz (55th percentile). I was 26.25 inches tall (70th percentile). And my head circumference was 16.5 in (35th percentile). Until next time, see ya!
