Car Rides Just Got Better...

Well, it's official...I took another step towards "big girlhood". Today, my Daddy installed my biggie girl car seat...and let me tell you....it's the best thing since my Baby Einsteing Exersaucer. It's so roomy and comfy...and I can see out the window! My G-Daddy drove behind us on our way to dinner and he said he could see me through the back window!

Well, I gotta go because Mommy is crying and mumbling something about her baby girl growing up too fast. (Sigh) Moms....are they all this goofy?!?!

Good Bye Old House...

Mommy, Daddy & I went to our old house in South Bend to drop some keys off and make sure we got everything out of our old house. It seemed so big and empty...especially in the great room...so Mommy HAD to get my picture in the room. She said I looked like a cute little red blob. Cute, yeah, I'm definately that, but red blob...I don't think so.

But anyways, here are some pictures of me saying goodbye to my old house. I had such good times in that house. But, don't worry Fort Wayne, I'm just getting started!!!

We are family...

On Thursday night, we went over to Aunt Rose's house for dinner and to visit Chuck, Christina, Elena & Charlie! They were in town visiting for a few days! It was so much fun. Elena & Charlie are big kids, but they still played with me. I can't wait until I can run around and play with them. Here is a picture of me with Elena!

Cause You Gotta Have Friends...

Well, I'm only a little over 6 months old...but I already have so many friends! A couple months ago, I met my new Ft. Wayne friends...Carson, Liam & Sara! They are only a couple of months older than me. We usually have playdates once a week...and our Moms like it because they get to eat warm food and socialize with each other! I have fun because there are always so many new toys to play with!

These are some pictures from our last playdate...Liam was sick, so he didn't get to come play!

I'm so lucky I have so many friends! But, then again, I am such a fun person!

When Grandma Arnold comes to visit...

I can expect 3 things....

#1 - I get presents...sometimes it's clothes and sometimes it's toys!

#2 - I get my picture taken...ALOT....I mean...ALOT

#3 - I have fun!!!

Grandma Arnold came and stayed the weekend at my house. Boy, we sure did have fun. Mommy & Daddy went out on a date on Saturday, so Grandma & I had the house to ourselves. We sure did a lot! Grandma took alot of pictures of me...and she uses props!! She makes me laugh because she is always telling me to smile & then taking my picture!

Here are a few from over the weekend!!!

My favorite snuggle spot...

Is right on my Daddy! I love cuddling with my Daddy ---- he gives the best hugs! Weekends are my very favorite because he is home all day long and he always spends lots of time with me. Sometimes, Mommy goes back to bed and Daddy & I hang out....I really love doing that! Sometimes we play, sometimes we watch ESPN....but we always have fun!

I bet you don't have a snuggle spot this nice....

Photogenic...Yep, that's Me!

Mommy & I went to get my 6 month pictures done the other day ---- and we had such a fun day! I did such a good job this time ---- it was really really hard for Mommy to pick out which ones to get. I tried to help, but it's so hard when you're this pretty!

But, anyways, here are a couple of my shots...pretty darn cute, don't you think?!?

Biggie Girl in Aisle 10

Guess what?! I'm big enough to sit in the grocery cart now when I go to the store with Mommy & Daddy. I love going shopping with them ---- everyone stops to tell Mommy & Daddy how cute I am. Duh, that's obvious.

I have so much fun & there is so much to see. I like to help Daddy pick out which yogurt he should get. I also have this little cart cover that I sit in and it has toys for me to play with in case I get bored.

I am pretty excited to be able to help Mommy & Daddy shop now....hmmm...maybe now I need my own credit card.

Growing like a weed...

So, today, Mommy & I went to see my Dr. today for my 6 month appointment. I'm growing so much...Mommy doesn't know how much longer she'll be able to carry me! I'm in th 60th percentile in height ---- 26 inches (Mommy thinks I'm really longer than that because my cloth diapers don't let me lie flat!) and I'm still off the charts in weight ----- pushing 20 lbs!!!!

Everything is going well and the Doctor says I'm looking good. I don't have to go back until I'm 9 months...and I won't have to get shots then!! Which is good, because I need a break from shots!

Happy 1/2 Birthday To Me!!!!

Can you believe it....today I turned 6 months old! Mommy says time sure does fly with me...I think that's a good thing! Mommy & Daddy say I'm getting so big....I can sit by myself, I am talking alot and I'm starting to try and eat solids. I say try because I'm not really liking them...I don't see why I can't just have Mommy's milk for the rest of my life.

The past 6 months have been the best months of my life!!!!!!!!

My best friend Earl...

I have a kitty named Earl & he is my very best friend. He also comes & sits next to me when I play with my toys and he LOVES when I pet him. Everytime I see him...it makes me so happy...I just smile and giggle. The other kitties don't like me too much, but Earl loves me. I can't wait until I'm crawling so that I can chase him!

There is a doggy that's bigger than my doggy...

My Uncle Josh brought his doggy Sampson to my house to spend Christmas Eve with us. He is such a big doggy...but he's really nice! He played with Neyland outside...well, eventually, at first, I think Neyland wasn't in the mood to play. Sampson drools alot after he drinks, but I think he is really funny & he makes me smile. :)

My crazy Uncles from NYC...

I got to see my Uncle Jake again and this time I got to meet Uncle Kenny! They are crazy....they let me play with anything I wanted AND they helped me walk. In no time, I'm going to be walking on my own. I think they definately like me better than my sister T, because T ate the Christmas goodies on Christmas Day!!! They also watched WonderPets with me...I had never seen it...and it is soooo cool. Uncle Jake can sing all the words to all the songs. He's so smart!

Mommy says that when I'm big enough, we get to go to NYC and visit them. I wanna meet Suri...I bet all the paparazzi will think I'm cuter!!

Me & Auntie Lizzie...

I got to see my Auntie Lizzie again...and we had so much fun. She stayed & played with me alot. She taught me how to play the "slots" with my Baby Einstein Exersaucer. And Auntie Lizzie says gambling makes everything a lot more fun! For some reason, she has nicknamed me Poopie Pants...and it makes me laugh everytime I hear it! I miss my Auntie Lizzie...but she says I can come and visit her whenever I want....she even said I could come down and see her when I go on Spring Break in 18 years!! Here's a picture of me & my Auntie Lizzie...

I was a good girl all year...so I had a GREAT Christmas!!

I had such a great first Christmas...I was spoiled by everyone! On Christmas Eve, Grandma Arnold & Uncle Josh came to stay and boy, did they bring me a lot of presents. Uncle Josh got me some things that light up and sings songs...in fact, Mommy says I'm not allowed to play with my Elmo Radio before 8am...she just can't handle it...and I think that's why Uncle Josh bought it for me. I love it!

Grandma Arnold bought me some really fun stuff...but I think my favorite is the ring stacker. I have so much fun taking the rings off and trying to eat them. I think that has become one of my favorite toys!! I can't wait until Grandma Arnold can come over & play it with me!!

On Christmas Day, I got to together with the Gosherts, Greens & Monteith ---- there were alot of them there ---- and I got more presents!! I got books, a swim suit & swim diapers, a teddy bear & and a PONY!!!!!!!!! It's not a real pony, but it's so much fun to ride. It sings songs & makes noises...and it's pink!!!!!

Here are a bunch of pictures of me with my new toys!!!

My very own Christmas Decorations!!!

My Beverly spoiled me....AGAIN. She made me my very own stocking ---- it's pink & says my name!!! I was so excited to pull gifts out of it on Christmas morning ---- although I think I had more fun pulling the paper out of it! She also got me my very own Ornament...it says PRINCESS. I guess it takes one to know one, doesn't it Beverly?!?!

I love being spoiled, especially by Beverly...she knows how to do it.
