My First Vegetable

yeah! I finally got to try my first vegetable this week. Mom made me some carrots! They are yummy! Mom was really proud of me for not making a huge mess when I was eating them.

cats and chinese food? hmmmmmm?

Yikes! Last weekend was very busy for us! We went to Silver Lake again for a couple of reasons. Mom had a wedding to go to in western Kansas, and dad was going to take care of me and grandma. Grandma fell and broke her ankle, so we went to help her out because Grandpa was driving back from CA with uncle Eric! Whew! I'm tired all over again just talking about it.

I learned how to sit all by myself this week. I started doing it a little at my grandma's house, but by Monday, I was really sitting solo.

Uncle Eric and Grandpa got home on Sunday and we all went to eat at a Mongolian BBQ in Topeka. We saw a kitty in the parking lot. Everyone thought it was funny that there was a cat in the parking lot of the restaurant....well, it wasn't so funny when we got inside and the kitty had followed us into the restaurant. The hostess was freaking out because it seems that the last thing you want in this kind of restaurant is a cat. Mom didn't get her camera out in time to take a picture.

Here is a picture of me with my Uncle Eric. He really liked to play, plus he let me chew on his finger. yum-yum!

I was pretty tired by the time we left Grandma's house, and mom caught me sleeping with my fingers in my mouth on the way home!

I also am wearing a new outfit these days. Dad is getting excited for football season, so I am wearing my Nebraska Huskers outfit. Mom's not so sure about my choice of team, but she is out-numbered on this one.

random

Here are two random pix from the past few days. Today my tummy was hurting and I was really worn out from being away from home, so mommy rocked me to sleep this afternoon. We both took a little nap while daddy was working.

*this is for all the Cardinals fans*

I think I could replace Mark Mulder as the Cardinals new left-hander.

short trip

Mom and I made a very short trip to Webb City this week. My great Aunt Marilyn was back in MO from Indianapolis, so I wanted to go meet her. She is the one who introduced my dad to my mom. Dad warned me before I went that she looks a lot like my mamaw Ansley, but he didn't tell me they are identical twins!

This is my Aunt Marilyn holding me for the first time.



I also got to go swimming again while I was there. Mamaw Ansley swam with me for a while, but I'm not sure she liked my splashing. Notice how much those girls look alike.

My First 4th of July

We had a very busy Fourth of July! We went to Silver Lake, KS for lunch to see Grandma and Grandpa Goodman and Uncle Mark, Aunt Holly and cousin Elsie. Mom sure took a lot of pictures that day. She said that we don't see Elsie very often so we have to take pictures when we are together.

Grandpa was worried that Elsie might fall over, but I wanted him to know I had her covered. I wasn't gonna let her fall.



Then Grandma held us both so that everyone else could enjoy their lunch. Elsie was mad, but I was trying to tell her that it was gonna be okay...eventually they get tired of the crying and they feed us.



We left Grandma and Grandpa's house and came home to go to a party. It was hot outside, so Mom and Dad put me in just my overalls. I kind of felt like a redneck baby, but the chicks dig it! Dad was ready to catch me if I fell over in the chair, but I like to sit up these days.

Splish Splash I was takin’ a bath…..

Sunday night mom and I went to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Goodman because my house was being sprayed for bugs.

Grandma taught me how to splash in the bathtub. Mom and Dad aren’t too thrilled that I’ve learned how to do this, but they know I would have figured it our eventually.







Grandpa was teaching me how to shake hands.

Go Cardinals!

This past weekend we had visitors at our house. My “uncle Jack” and “aunt Nina” came to visit. Actually they are my parents friends, Jackson and Kristina Boyer. They came up so "uncle Jack" could play golf with dad on Saturday, and we all went to the Royals v. Cardinals game on Sunday. It was my first time at a baseball game! I was happy because my Cards won 9-6. I also got to meet my 2nd cousin Cole at the K.

5 month pix

I can't believe that I am 5 months old already! I sure do like to sit on the chaise....except sometimes I start to fall over and it scares mommy.

Mom...you better catch me!!!

Dad took this video of me giggling with mom!
