My second party was with friends at Chuck E. Cheese. I didn't know a little girl (or grownups) could have so much fun. Grandma say's she's sorry one picture is sideways but she doesn't know how to fix it.
I got to have two parties. I'm not spoiled just loved. This is the first one. I celebrated at Uncle Bill and Aunt Lisa's. I had to share this party with Will who turned 5. He's a big boy. We had cake and ice cream and I got lots of presents. I let Jo hold me (that doesn't happen often). Grandma bought me a really big birthday hat, I still play with it.
I went to the zoo with Mommy and GiGi. I had so much fun. I loved the animals and can't wait to go back again. I liked the bamboo and sitting with the meerkats (no they aren't real).
Can you believe I'm already 9 months old?! I'm 28 inches long and just under 17.5 lbs. I didn't have to get any shots because I have an ear infection, so they put me on some medicine that tastes like bubble gum (whatever that is). Even though I didn't get any shots they had to prick my finger to check my lead level and for anemia; I didn't like that at all. I have to go back in 2 weeks to make sure my ear is getting better.
Grandma took me to see my Great-Grandma Jo and I loved looking at myself in the mirror. I don't even think Grandma Jo knew Grandma was getting her in the picture.
Don't you just love our new dresses?!?! Aunt Jen made them for us, she's so smart. Grandma said she was going to have her make a lot of them for me to wear this summer. Momma says go for it...it'll save her from having to buy new clothes. And for those of you who didn't notice: I am standing up all by myself.
I am so funny, I think my quilted block makes a better hat than it does a toy. Momma has been trying to get a picture of me in my "hat" for awhile now, so I finally gave in.
I'm not really sure why Momma made the title of this post "My New Kicks" because I thought it was suppose to be about my new shoes?!? Momma is just funny that way.
So Momma has been slacking and hasn't posted the fun news that I'm crawling now!!! When I first started crawling I looked like an inchworm, but now I've figured out that I can use my knees. Look I can also pull up onto my knees! It's one of my favorite things to do; give me time I'll be walking before you know it.
Grandma and Momma tried so hard today to get me to look at the camera. They both had their phones out, figuring if one couldn't get me to look the other one could. Well guess what? They were both wrong. I was too into watching Playhouse Disney and chewing on Gabriella's toys.
Look what Grandma bought me for my birthday. Yes you heard me right...MY BIRTHDAY! Grandma just couldn't wait until May to give it to me. I'm surprised she hasn't already bought and given me my Christmas gift for next year. But that's okay Grandma you can give me as many presents as you want.
