9 months of cute!

The past 9 months have just flown by as they always do when you have kids. Skye went for her 9 month visit today. She weighs 19lb 9oz and is 27" long. That puts her at the 50th percentile for weight and 30th percentile for height, which totally confirmed my suspicions that she is a shortie! She is pulling up on everything and cruising on all the furniture. Every once in a while she will let go and stand for a couple of seconds before falling on her booty. I call her my tiny terror because now that she is so mobile she gets into everything and follows me everywhere I go! She sounds like a police car when she whines and follows me around as I do housework or cook dinner. Man, only 3 months until her first birthday.....wow time sure does fly!

First Magic Kingdom Trip!

We took a very spontaneous trip to Disney yesterday. Aunt Jen and Uncle Rob got a villa down there for a week and invited us down for a day so we took it! We left Monday afternoon, got there around 2 or so and found a kiddie pool right outside the door of their room! Aunt and the gang were at Blizzard Beach so we had time to kill. I was so thrilled. Mom put some sunscreen on me and we played for awhile. When my aunt, uncle,and cousins got back from the water park we all got changed and went to downtown Disney. I loved the lights and music, I was dancing and talking to everyone. We ate at Rainforest Cafe and I thought the animals and thunderstorms were so cool! Tuesday we went to Disney! I had already been to Epcot but this was my first trip the the Magic Kingdom. I loved the monorail to the park! Once there I just looked around and loved everything. Mommy wore me around for awhile and took me on the Pirates ride, it was so neat! I was laughing and smiling the whole time! I napped in my stroller for a bit and when I woke up we went to Minnie and Mickeys houses! I sat in Minnies reading chair and hung out in Mickeys garage. Mommy got me a pretty Minnie Mouse ear hat and had them embroider my name on it. We got back really late at night so we stayed with Aunt again and came home Wednesday morning, it was so much fun. Ican't wait to go back with Daddy one day for our own family vacation!



The "gang" (minus mommy) in front of Cinderella's castle! I am so happy to be here!



Hanging out in Mickey Mouses garage with big sis and my oldest cousin!


I loved playing in Piglets house, can you see me?


Lex and I model our new Mickey Mouse ear hats! Aren't we the cutest?


Mommy even got them to put my name on it, what a special keepsake of my first time at Magic Kingdom!

Here I am getting my first taste of cottage cheese. It is very different, I don't know if I like it yet.



Well, I got a second bite and I really didn't like it any better than the first but then Mommy mixed some pear juice with it and I ate it like a champ.



I am going from a sitting position to a crawling position. I just can't get that right leg out from under me!


My right leg is still trapped but I am making forward progress.



That leg still isn't all the way out but it is out enough for me to move! Almost crawling for real now, the combat crawl is about to be a thing of the past!

First Beach Day

Today was my first (of many) trip to the beach. We plan on going a lot this summer, as usual, so we got our annual beach pass. Mommy loaded me down with spf 50 lotion before we left the house then sprayed me with spf 70 broad spectrum and added some spf 50 facestick. THEN she put me in my bathing suit, it has spf 50 built right it. She sat me under the umbrella for a while then I got to sit in my little pool for a bit, when it was time to eat she bundled me in a towel and a blanket and I took a nice nap. It was a very windy day and the umbrella started to blow away so mommy turned my pool on it's side and I sat behind it for shade. When it was time to leave I was a mess so mommy took me down to the water to rinse me off. It was a bit chilly but I dug my toes right into that wet sand and laughed everytime I saw a little wave come by. I liked it when mommy held me close to her and told me how much she has always loved the beach, I liked looking at the big waves and sandpipers. When it was time to go home I got to experience another tradtion. Apparently Mommy and Aunt Jen have always stopped for ice-cream on the way home. So we went to this place and got ice-cream. Mommy, Aunt Jen, and Maddy all let me have a little taste! I slept all the way home, it was such a fun and relaxing day!




Here I am at the ice-cream place on the way home!


My cousin was very eager to play with me!


Don't I look cute in my sunglasses and hat?


My first feel of the wet sand. I didn't even try to eat any, I just enjoyed playing with it!


After a bath and dinner, I am still a happy girl! I can't wait to go back!

I'm in the Movies!

Here are some random videos I have been meaning to upload. I have been super-busy lately and haven't had a chance to update the blogs as much as I would like. Enjoy the short movies!

It's Greek to me

My sister Lexi is so silly! She got one of my burpee cloths and made it into a toga for me to wear! She wanted to find some olive leaves for my hair but we are fresh out of them! I look too much like my Daddy to look like I'm Greek! Anyway, it was quite fun being dressed like that, it was nice and cool in my toga outfit and I stayed that way for quite some time!

My Funky Irish Hat

My mommy said this hat was from my cousin Evan and that I should tell him thank-you. So thank-you cousin Evan for my hat! I guess my head is a wee bit small because it kept slipping over my nose. I didn't like it being on top of my nose like that but mommy promised once the pictures were over she wouldn't put it on me anymore. I would rather put it on the ground upside down and put stuff in it. But I cooperated as much as I could and let my mommarazzi take more pictures of me for the scrapbook.
Happy St. Patricks day everyone!
