New things to see and do

Well, I am still growing and I am so interested in new things. I am making my way around the whole house and my mommy really has to keep her eye on me. I am a very fast crawler and can get out of the sunken living room, go into the office, go into furniture (see below), pretty much wherever I want! It is lots of fun!

Look, I can crawl up to the front windows now and look out. Boy...do I love to get my fingers all over mommy's clean windows and pound, pound, pound!! Yippee!!

"pound" "pound" "pound" :)
Here are some pants that Grammy passed down from my mommy and aunts. They used to wear these pants. Aren't they cute? After I had them on and we ran a few errands, mommy noticed there was a hole in the crotch! Oops! Hope no one else noticed....Sorry Grammy...I know you didn't notice. ;)

Per above....here I am "in" furniture. I literally crawled into the bottom of one of daddy's steel stools and sat down. He has a big book under there that I am obsessed with!

See the big book! Neat, huh?

I had a special visitor come to see me. It is Isabella Rahal. You may remember her from one of my earlier posts back in May. She is now almost 6 months old already. My, oh my...we do grow fast. Isn't she cute!

Mommy and I were ready to go to church with Grammy. I am looking at my fusia tights that you can't see in the picture....oops!

Here we are brushing my teeth! I love to swallow the toothpaste and suck on the brush! Something new and exciting!!

Gidde up!!!! Let's go for a ride in the laundry basket! One of my new favorite things!

Grandma Cindy and Mike came for a visit and we had a very nice time. See all the fun stuff Mike and I did...

They are trying to get me to try ham salad for the second time this day...but I covered my mouth because that is just "GRODY!"

.....now, a pickle....not a fan at this moment!

Ok, I am happy just sitting here with Mike!

Hi Mike! What are you doing?

Mike is trying to get me to come up to the dining room floor level with no luck!

Hi there!

My mommy and daddy thought it would be funny to put lotion in my hair after my bath and spike my hair up....I think I look great! ;) What do you think?

Fishers

Monday, Mommy and I spent the afternoon on a long walk through our town of Fishers. We had a nice time but didn't take a lot of pictures. However, we wanted to share a couple we did take.

Here I am at the train station! Look real close....can you see me in my stroller?

Hello! Here I am!!

Austin's Birthday Party

Saturday was Austin's first birthday party and it was a blast. He had a boot cake and tons of yummy food. Mine will be here before you know it...less than 3 months! Yippee! I can't wait to eat lots of cake!

Here he is with his cake!!
Here I am with Grammy!
I am a little blurry, but here I am with Emily!

Kelsi and I had a great time!

Here is Austin's boot cake that Grammy made. Isn't it cool!

Grandpa and I had fun too! Open your eyes, Gramps!

I even got to spend some time with Great Grandma Susie and Wilbur.

he he!

Summer Summer

I have had just the best first summer a baby girl could ask for. I have been on lots of road trips, met lots of new people and have had so much fun. Here are some more pictures of me enjoying my cute little self. Enjoy!

Mommy made oreo truffles for Austin's birthday party and I had to help!! She already let me help "clean the bowl". Really, she just put some on my spoon and let me have at it!! Can you tell I LOVED it!! I definitely have a sweet tooth...but then again with my mommy and daddy I didn't really even have a choice!

Ok, this is my third trip to the Indiana State Fair. Mommy and I went with Grandpa during the week. Of course Grandpa had to have a picture with the darn Purdue flag. Yuck!! :)
Grandpa and I are sitting inside an EGG!

Mommy thought she and I should try it too!

Here is my second trip to the State Fair...I think I saw enough for the first year! :) Mommy, Daddy, Grammy Jo and Aunt Kari all went one night during the week.

I am pooped after a day of shopping with Grammy and Great Auntie Carol downtown at Circle Centre Mall!

Here I am with my Uncle Mark.

Grammy Jo and I at church. My hat fits my head better than it used to.

Look at me! I am walking around all of the furniture now, crawling everywhere and standing almost on my own. Yippee!

I just love yogurt melts! Thanks Mom!

Ha!! Look at cousin Austin in his silly hat!

Aha!! Look at me in the same silly hat!

Here we are...Aunt Kari and I.

Here I am with my cousins - John and Jarrod and my Mommy!

2009 Indiana State Fair

We took our first trip to the State Fair to watch Cousin Jackie show her pig. She got 8th place and did a really nice job. I went with Mommy and Grandma Cindy. We walked around to see lots of different things with Jackie and Aunt Luann.

Here I am with Jackie and her pigs. I was kinda tired.

Hmmmm....this is an interesting smell in the hog barn. :)
Look Mommy! It is a calf! I got to pet them and they were so cute!
Grandma Cindy is howing me the roosters and chickens.

Aunt Luann is looking at them too!

Dale Hollow Trip

Hey there! It's me again....this time I am sharing pictures of our recent trip to Dale Hollow Reservoir in Celina, Tennessee. Mommy, Daddy and I went with Aunt Susan, Uncle Matt, Cousin Austin, Aunt Kari, Uncle Mark and his family including his new nephew, Lane. Uncle Mark's family has a place near the water with boats and all kinds of fun stuff to do!

It was a wonderful trip with beautiful scenery and I got to wear my first lifejacket. Unfortunately, mommy didn't get any pictures of me in it but that's probably because I hated it....at least at first I did.

I borrowed Lane's sunglasses. Cool, huh?
Look out....Lane is driving the pontoon and he is younger than I am!
It should've been me I guess!

Ahhhhhh! Feel that breeze....SIKE!

Lane is just relaxing on his beach towel, chewing on his toys. Looks like fun doesn't it!

Cousin Austin is doing the same thing!

Here is Lane in his life jacket. He actually didn't mind it at all.
