I am just about recovered from my 2nd ear infection. Yup, I thought I was sick last time, well two weeks later and this time I was fighting off a 105 degree fever and infections in both ears. It was not fun.

I am babbling a lot now, I can say mommy, daddy, nana, and up (I dont really know what up is, but mommy thinks it is cute so I say it)

Nana keeps telling mommy I am going to crawl anyday. I got the whole arm thing down, the legs too, I am just not too sure how to do them both together..

I interact more with my toys; I have drums that I can beat on and alphabet letters come up, I like that. I have morraccas that I shake and it counts, and I have cups I can stack and then bang around. I like all these toys.

OMG--my cousins Lindsay, Emma, and Haley gave me two dolls that used to be my mommy's; that is really neat--thanks Karen!!

ps--I am 8 months old today; Happy Birthday to me :)

I am starting to recover from my first ear infection. Boy was I sick last week. I had a 103.6 fever and was just miserable. Of course I got the ear infection while trying to fight a stomach bug that was going around daycare--geesh.

Mommy and daddy had my pictures taken on 07/07/07 when I turned 7 months. Here is a preview:

Well I can sit on my own no problem now; and guess what?....I said my first word: dada

I can finally touch bottom in my walker and yestereday (7/3) I walked backwards about 7 feet; mommy and nana were all excited.

I went to Grandma's last weekend and mommy gave me a bath in Grandma's kitchen sink. It was lots of fun and I made a big mess with all my splashing; no one seemed to mind.

Did mommy and daddy tell you that I can sit on my own for short periods of time now? Yup. I can. And my feet finally touch the ground when I am sitting in my exersaucer. (not in the walker yet)

I got a little swimming pool and I LOVE to splash and play in it with toys. I even have a pool in the bathroom that they let me play in; I dont have to sit in the plastic seat anymore. It is fun.

I am still sleeping through the night and am only fussy when I am hungry or very tired. I am eating all kinds of neat baby foods. I even eat big girl bananas and cantelope in a special container that lets me chew on the food without mommy worrying I will get too big a piece.

I went to the Dr for my 6 month checkup today.
I weight 14lbs 11oz and am 25" long (at 4 months I was 11lbs 14oz--cool)

No more concerns over my vision--the only concern now is that it looks like I might have alergies; I dont know what that means but mommy says it might be why my nose is so stuffy all the time, and why my eyes get all red and itchey.

I am rolling over with ease now--I get where ever I want now by rolling. They call me Miss Independant at daycare.

Talk to you soon :)

June 1 - 7 2007

June 1--my daddy went to grandmas today and I rolled over from my back to my belly for the very first time; It took a lot of hard work, but I did it--mommy and nana were all excited-

June 2--mommy took video of me today rolling all around the livingroom floor; daddy was away and I learned how to move my arm so that I can roll easier--it is fun and mommy gets all excited every time--ha ha
