Kisses!

Hi, everyone!

XOXO

Spoon fed.

Hi, it's me, Aunt Tricia! Just touching base to let you know that we heard from Emily and she is fine, and Alexis is happy that Mommy is ok!

Alexis is getting funner by the day. She said Cookie today and sat playing singing, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." The singing is new, she also sings Baby over and over. No dancing yet, but we're working on it. She says School all the time (though it does sound more like "cool") and she's walking like a champ. And, she's learning to use a spoon!

She likes it SO much, though, that she won't let us help her very often, so we kind of have to limit spoon use to dinner time so she can go DIRECTLY into the tub afterward. It's a bit messy!


Hope you're all managing to get your food IN your mouth, instead of on it!

Happy Birthday, Nana!

Today is my Nana's birthday, so here's a big shout out to you! Also, there's a hurricane sweeping by my Mama, so cross your fingers and say your prayers.

Aunt Tricia came home today and I was a little glad to see her. Just a little, though. Had loads of fun in the tub, and stuck my face right in the Grins-N-Giggles baby wash suds:






I'm the Grins-N-Giggles Ghost!

In your face.

You wanna piece of me?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Taking a survey in the interest of science.

Hey, go take this survey if you blog....



Meanwhile, I'm doing good. Yesterday, I blew Aunt Tricia off and waved bye-bye right in her face when she leaned in for a kiss at daycare. Today I sobbed when Aunt Lisa left me this morning. This separation anxiety is a cruddy stage to be going through...I never know when I'm going to be upset about something!

Boom!

Here's one of the fireworks we saw last night! They were so awesome and I wasn't even scared at all. We were right by the field where they were firing them off, so we were laying down on a blanket with all of Aunt Lisa's family with us, and the fireworks were right over our heads. I had my earplugs in to protect my little ears, but I just lay down with my head on Aunt Lisa's belly and watched and watched and was never startled even a little bit. I rock!

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy!

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Here I am, sitting on the front steps of our house with the flag that Daddy sent to Aunt Tricia and Aunt Lisa for a housewarming gift. This flag flew in Balad, over Daddy's "house," and now it flies over my house! We call it The Daddy Flag!

Yay, Mommy & Daddy, working hard for me!

Me and Nana.

My Nana came to visit me. Here's a picture of us chilling out on the couch Sunday afternoon.

Fashion show.

Isn't this outfit just so super-cute you can't stand it? I was feeling a little bad about taking the day off the other day, so I thought I'd slip in a little extra post for you today. I got dressed up 'cause we took Nana out for an early birthday dinner. Yay, food!

Before we left, though, I had to have a talk with my baby, and tell her to be good while I was gone. I can't afford a babysitter, after all:
