Quick update

A lot has happened since I last posted and I wanted to give you guys a quick update on what's going on.

1. I have two, maybe three, more teeth coming in. My two upper canines have popped through and another one of the top teeth might be on the way. This will give me a total of five teeth in just over five months!

2. I can sit all by myself! I can hold myself up for a solid five minutes without any help. I eventually get tired and collapse over. Stay tuned for some pictures of this!

3. I can crawl (almost). I can scoot around on my belly in a full circle and have started to pull my body along on the floor.


How's this for upper body strength!

4. I love me some food! I am now eating all sorts of fruits and vegetables along with my bottles. Mommy has even taught me to drink from my straw (see below)!

My new tricks

In just the past week or two, I've learned a few new tricks that I'm sure you'll enjoy. Mommy is not a big fan but Daddy loves them!

1. Piggyface (aka full-face smile or scrunchy-face)
Every time that I smile, I scrunch up my whole face and snort through my nose. It may not be the most ladylike way to smile but its my most favorite new trick! I can't get enough!

2. Scream / Shriek / Zombie-arms
I'm over blowing raspberries (that's so last week) and I'm on to screaming for fun! I don't know why it took me so long to realize the joys of shrieking for no reason at all! I may not be close to saying "Momma" or "Dadda" but I've nailed the high pitched squealing! When I get really worked up, my whole body goes rigid and the zombie arms come out!

Is this a seizure?

We are family

Two weeks ago, I was baptized and people from all over the country came to see me! I'm so lucky to have such a big and loving family!



I haven't seen Avo and Vavo since I was one month old but I warmed up to them real quick!



I love my cousin Michael and I especially enjoy touching his face!



Nanny, Mommy, and me


I got to meet my great aunt Cindy for the first time. I'm such such a big girl in her arms!
