Crazy boy!!

petting my kitty Cruiser and thinking he is soo funny!

Sleeping with Cocoa

I am moving around soo much now! I have only rolled over one time. I thought I would just let everyone know I can do it but I am not interested in rolling. I have started turning myself on my play mat. Mommy lays me down on my tummy facing the fireplace, and in a few minutes I am facing the TV! She sits and watches me and can't figure out how I do it but I am moving around... I am trying to sit too. I can't do it by myself but if you set me up I can sit for about 20 seconds by myself! Mommy thinks I will skip rolling for now and work on sitting up and maybe even crawling soon... I am still working on my tooth as well... My girlfriend got her first tooth last week so I need to catch up! ( she is 5 weeks older than me so its ok that she got hers before me!)

On Saturday and Sunday this last week Mommy and Daddy took me outside a lot! It was soo warm outside! I didn't know what to think! I was so small when it was like this before I don't really remember it! It was nice to sit outside and to go on walks without having to be under tons of blankets and wearing a hat!

Mommy took some of the clothes I've outgrown or didn't wear to a store here to see if we could get some money for them. We had to walk around a few stores while they looked at the clothes but then when we went back they gave Mommy $37 for the clothes! She was glad to make some extra money to buy me some new clothes! I am outgrowing the stuff I have now and I don't have much to wear if I keep growing!

I am getting better at putting myself to sleep for naps and at night time. I am still waking up during the night to eat but I fall right back to sleep after I eat. Mommy is proud of me that I can put myself to sleep with only crying for a few minutes. Mommy made me a stuffed doggy that is named Cocoa that helps me fall asleep. I love to snuggle with him!

Well thats all of my news for now...

I'm getting big

Who do you think I look like?
Like my Mohawk?
Soo last week I decided to trick everyone and make them think I was ready to roll over. I rolled over ONCE on Feb 4 (which is my Oma's birthday). I haven't done it since then. I just wanted everyone to be aware it could happen again at any time! HAHAHA.... I am really having fun these days... I am playing more with my toys and am laughing constantly. My favorite toys right now are a ball that has lots of holes in it so I can hold onto it, a rattle, and a dragonfly that has all sorts of fun things on it. I hold onto these and shake them and try and put them in my mouth! I also am really starting to like my kitty Cruiser. He sits next to me and I pet him and sometimes I try to pull out his hair, but he just sits there and is nice to me! It has still been kinda cold so Mommy and Daddy haven't been able to take me on many walks. Mommy took me yesterday and it was kinda cold! She bundled me up and I was toasty so I fell asleep! Sleep... hmmm what a hard thing for me right now! I love to sleep but I also wake up 2-3 times at night and sometimes have a hard time falling asleep. Mommy decided to try and 'Ferberize' me... basically she lays me down, gives me a kiss, tells me its time for nigh night and walks out of my room... I cry and cry but only for a few minutes until she comes in and kisses me and tells me shhhh its ok baby, and then she lays me on my side and walks out again... Usually she just stays in my doorway to make sure I am ok... I try soo hard to calm down- I hold my hands together and suck on my henri... It works after just a few minutes and then I fall asleep... Mommy just started last night with this so hopefuly I can figure it out soon so that I don't cry as much and I can just fall asleep on my own! Then if I wake up at night I will just be able to fall back asleep! YEAH!!! That would make Mommy and Daddy sooo happy!!! Well I think that is about all of my news for now... I am trying really hard to get a tooth to come in but it is just causing me pain instead of poking through.. I will keep working on it tho!

South Carolina

I had my first trip to South Carolina this weekend!! Although it almost didn't happen!! We were planning on leaving Saturday morning to meet Nana and Papa there for a quick trip to celebrate their anniversary but then Daddy decided to get off work on Friday and go for a little bit longer! We left after Mommy came home from work and as we started down the road it started raining... then snowing... YUCK!!! Daddy was worried about driving in it and didn't wanna wreck since I was in the car... We drove to Dalton, Georgia (about 30 minutes away) and it wasn't getting better... We decided to drive on the interstate and it was fine! When we got to Atlanta it was 54 degrees and sunny out! I got tired of riding in the car after a while and we had to stop so I could take a break and get out of my seat. It took us about 5 1/2-6 hours to get to Columbia, and we checked into our hotel and Mommy and Daddy got food to eat for dinner. I stayed up for a little bit and then I got ready for bed. Mommy had a hard time getting me to sleep because I was soo interested in looking around at everything! In the morning Mommy put me in my bathing suit even though it was big on me, and we went to a big bathtub! Daddy held me and took me in the water. I wasn't sure at first- not upset or mad but just didn't know what to think of it all. After Daddy held me a bit Mommy held me and showed me how to splash. After she showed me how to splash I started kicking and splashing and loving the water! It was really fun! I didn't like getting out but I was tired and took a nap after we got back to our room! After I woke up we met Nana and Papa and went and saw Mommy's old house and where she went to school. It was cool to 'see' where she grew up even though I didn't really see it too much. We drove around downtown Columbia and we thought about going to a basket ball game but couldn't get tickets. We just went shopping at different places and got some South Carolina things. On Sunday morning we went to Mommy's old church- she hadn't been there in 11 years- and everyone was soo surprised at how grown up she was and that she had me!! I went to the nursery and everyone had so much fun with me even though I had a major blow out! I had to wear just a onesie without any pants!! haha oh well at least I'm a baby and I dont care!! I had such a good time on our trip! I wanna go back sometime when I can handle riding in the car a bit longer! Oh and I NEED a picture with a palmetto tree!! We didn't get to get one since it was raining!
