I don't know why mommy was so surprised. Is this a big deal or something? In all honesty, mommy was just trying to get me "scooting" on film. But, as it turned out, I decided to go ahead and crawl for her! I didn't realize how tiring it could be though! Wow! Sometimes it is so tiring...I just give up!
I told you! It is rough! Anyway...on to some other stuff I have started. More solids!!!!!!!!!! I eat all sorts of fruits and veggies now...green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, blueberries, bananas. WAIT! NOT BANANAS! Just like my mommy, smashed bananas gross me out! Every time I gag on them...mom gags with me! Just watch how nasty these are.
However, I am a fan of prunes. Notice how content and relaxed I am when she gives me yummy fruit!
Over the last couple of months, I have had some big events. One of those, was my boyfriend Trey coming to see me in Texas with his mommy. He is soooooooo cute. As you can tell, we are very much in love.
See what I mean?
Another neat thing that happened were the blue bonnets blooming. They are really pretty. They are the Texas State Flower and you can get shot on sight if you pick them. Well, that's at least how they act around here. In any case, I got my pictures taken with my BFF Paige. She is the greatest! She is 5 months older than me (which in baby time is like 5 years!) and she still let's me hang out with her. I told you she was cool! Mommy was too cheap to hire someone to take the blue bonnet pictures so she did it.
The biggest thing that happened over the last few months was Aleksandra joining our family! That's my new cousin (you may remember her as Sasha from Christmas. She changed her name. Teenagers! Who can figure them out!?!) She is 16 and the neatest cousin! While Aunt Lynn and Uncle Rod went to go get her from Latvia, mommy took care of me, Cousin Libby, Cousin Bryce, and Cousin Austin. I didn't think she was going to make it. But we survived...all of us!! Of course, mommy insisted on meeting Aunt Lynn, Uncle Rod, and Aleksandra at the airport. Something about not being to handle another minute...whatever that meant. Just kidding! It actually wasn't bad at all. I even heard mom describe it as "fun" one time! Of course, she did have great help from Grammy Nancy. On top of that, Grammy Carol, Aunt Mimi, Uncle Hal, Cousin Ethan, and Cousin Riley came up to see me! They were a big help too! In any case, mommy was still excited to meet them at the airport so here we are waiting for them to come up the escalator. That is Cousin Libby on the left, Cousin Bryce in the middle, Uncle Rod's daddy in the back, and then Grammy pushing me in the stroller. I am doin' my thing...people watchin. Cousin Austin was too cool to hang out and wait with us.
Well...I guess that is it for now. I will try to update sooner but growing up is very busy work! I will leave you with a link to all of my pictures over the last couple of months! I miss you and can't wait to see all of you!
