Well... it's been waaay too long! I know I've been HORRIBLE about updating this thing. I just can't manage to balance my time and get on the computer for a length of time that will allow me time to do this. :) The pictures attached were taken yesterday. That's her Aunt Misty holding her up for the photo opp.So, I think I told you last time that I would add baptism pictures and that never happened. Well, to be honest they are still on Chris' computer and not this one. So maybe I can talk him into doing that tonight. *crosses fingers* Since then we have started eating baby food. So far we've been through all of the stage 1 fruits and we LOVE Peaches! The fruits included in stage one fruits are bananas, apples, prunes, and peaches. Now we've moved on to vegetables and have tried sweet potatoes and peas so far. The others left to try are green beans, carrots, and squash.
We are trying our very best to crawl. She gets up on all fours and rocks and will even take like half a step. Then she decides that she needs to have her middle two fingers in her mouth. That's right ladies and gentlemen, we make the Hook 'Em sign with our fingers when we suck on them. Yes, we are finger suckers, not thumb suckers. So, when she decides to do this our venture to crawl stops and then we scoot on our head to get around. The sitter asked if we could try and find a walker for her to move around in. We found one and Niki (the sitter) said that she LOVES it and will follow her around in it. Of course she started out going backwards, but now goes forward. She loves to stand and likes to grab at everything and put everything in her mouth. She's currently trying to cut one of her top teeth. Its so funny to watch; Chris will stand her in his lap and she'll grab his glasses and take them off, grab his ears and then start sucking on his nose. It's hysterical to watch! And chatter... oh wow this girl can talk! I can't imagine who she gets that from! She giggles and will occasionally do a full belly laugh. But she doesn't do it with the same thing twice of course!
Well... other than trying to avoid the Swine Flu not much else is going on. I'm counting down the days till the last day of school, which is the 29th of May. I don't have a bad class, I just need to end this year and regroup.
Well, we're going to Houston this weekend for my birthday. I hit the 29th year on Saturday. I'm just thankful for one more year and a VERY blessed life.
We love you all very much!
Love and hugs-
Stef, Chris, and Melanie
