Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas! Mama, Daddy and I are leaving Baltimore on Friday night and we'll get to Grandma and Grandpa Williams' house EARLY Saturday morning. It will be my first trip to Michigan! I hope I will get a chance to meet everyone while we are there. I can't wait! I look forward to putting some Christmas pictures on my blog when we get back to Maryland! Happy Holidays!

A New Toy

This shiny ornament is a fun toy to play with. It's very challenging to try to get my hands (and mouth) on! Mama apologizes for everyone's neck hurting while watching this movie...she owes you a massage! She taped the video vertically and can't put it on the blog horizontally...good one, Mama!

My First Basketball

This is my first basketball! It's one of my bath toys that I like to kick around in the tub.

Practicing my dribbling skills...

And no, I'm not talking about my drooling, either! Look at how high I can raise myself up now!

Concentration

Bathtime

One of my favorite times of the day is bathtime. Most of the time, Mama or Daddy take a bath with me and we have lots of fun...we play with bubbles or I go swimming! This is a movie where I show off my swimming skills, I like to kick my legs in the water. Daddy is wearing shorts, but I'm not so happy that Mama is putting me on the internet naked!

Cuddling With Daddy

I love the weekends...my Daddy gets to spend lots of time with me!

Cuddling with Daddy makes me happy!

I have a BIG slobbery kiss for you, Daddy!

Me and My Bee

I'm really liking this "grasping thing" I can do now! There are so many more things I can put into my mouth besides my hands!

Another Movie

One of my first throws!

I am starting to reach out and grasp things...Mama was able to record one of my first throws. It wasn't my best, but it was a good try! Unfortunately, our digital camera doesn't record with sound and the color is a little dark, but I think you'll get the idea! Hopefully Mama can get some more videos on my blog.

Getting Better With My Arms!

My arms are starting to get a little stronger! Instead of just lifting my head up, I'll use my elbows to help out ever once in awhile!

Smiley Girl

I'm a very smiley girl today! I guess I was happy to spend some time with Daddy while Mama went shopping!

Getting ready to go for a walk with Daddy. Hats just don't seem to fit me very well still!

BIG stretch!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We weren't able to make it to Michigan this year, but we went over to Brian, Liz and Braden's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Brian and Liz were in Mama and Daddy's wedding. Braden is their son, who will be one year old next Friday.

Everyone around the table eating dinner. The other two girls are Liz's friends who live in Chicago and D.C. This is Braden telling me where to put big-kid food when I get old enough to eat it! Look how excited I am for Thanksgiving! It means that Christmas is almost here!!! Happy Thanksgiving! I love you and miss you!

Who are you?

When I have tummy time, it helps when Mama puts me in front of a mirror so I have something to look at while I'm working out. It just so happens that I get to look at a cute baby! Oh, wait...that's me! I'm getting a little stronger with my arms. I can stay on my elbows for a little while (if Mama puts me there first!) My legs are sure strong, though. I like it when Mama and Daddy hold me up so I can practice standing. I think I may just decide to skip the whole crawling thing!

More of my weekend...

Grandma Thaler feeding me

Grandma, Grandpa and I Grandpa's turn! I love you, Aunt Lisa!

My Weekend With Aunt Lisa, Grandma and Grandpa Thaler

My Grandma and Grandpa Thaler and Aunt Lisa came to visit me this weekend. Even though Michigan and Michigan State lost (boo...) we still had a good time! I showed them how much I like to sing and play Supergirl...I'll be sad when they have to leave tomorrow!

Me and my crazy hair after my bath!

Extreme Close-Up!

My Grandma and Grandpa Thaler and Aunt Lisa are coming out to visit this weekend! I'm such a lucky girl to have so many visitors! Yesterday, Mama and I went into school for the first day of basketball try-outs. Daddy is going to be the assistant for the Varsity team this year. It was nice to see all my new "aunts" from the basketball team!

Supergirl!

One of my new favorite games is to play Supergirl! I like to fly around in the air, just watch out for the incoming missiles, which Grandma got bombarded with a few times!

Apple of My Grandpa's Eye

My Grandpa Williams loves me so much! I call him Grandpa Prickles because of his beard. He fed me, we played together and talked to each other a lot while he was visiting. He let Grandma change my diapers though! Of course I love Grandma Williams, too, but I think that I have Grandpa wrapped around my little finger!

My weekend with Grandpa and Grandma Williams

My Grandma and Grandpa Williams came to Baltimore to visit me this weekend. We had so much fun!

Grandma and Grandpa reading me a bedtime story.

On Saturday, we took a little trip down the road to a place called Miami Beach. Grandpa liked to carry me in my carrier. We also walked on a pretty trail from the beach through the wetlands. It was a beautiful day for a walk!
