Wiggly Worm and Her Poncho

Grandma Williams made me a fleece poncho with her sewing machine that she got for Christmas. I used to sit still when Mama was taking my picture, but not anymore! I'm a mover and a shaker! I don't like to stay in one place, I'm a wiggly worm! Mama tried to get a few shots in...even though I'm a wiggly worm, I'm still a poser!

My First House

We have a house in Michigan...yeah! Mama and Daddy just heard that their bid was accepted and this is the house we'll be living in when we move this June. It's in Farwell and we have a great view of a little lake right out our deck! We're very excited!

21st Birthday

It's my 21st Birthday...21 weeks, of course!

Big Ham

I still have a lot to learn: talking, crawling, walking, eating with a spoon....

But I sure do know what a camera is! Mama gets it out and I know exactly what to do! These are my favorite poses.

Eating Squash

High Chair

One of my Christmas presents from Grandpa and Grandma Williams was a high chair. Mama ordered it and it finally arrived today! I was able to eat my dinner in it!

Mama putting me in the high chair for the first time.

This is fun!

Eating squash is messy business, especially when I use my hands to smear it all over my face!

Go Ravens!

The Baltimore Ravens play their playoff game later this afternoon. The city is Ravens Crazy....purple is everywhere you look!

I like fuzzy things!

This is my first attempt using a sippy cup. It's still a little big for me but I tried!

My Second Roll

I just rolled over all by myself!!!! Mama caught my second roll ever on the camera. It's a little rocky because Mama was trying to entice me with a rattle and film at the same time.

Feeding

Dr. Ziliolli gave me the okay to start cereal this week. Here are some pictures of my delicious lunch!

I try to hold my own bottle sometimes.

My messy oatmeal-cereal face.

Yummy!

Look, Dad! This is so easy, I can do it with my eyes closed!

Open wide!

Beautiful Day

Baltimore is supposed to be in the 40s this time of year, but today we topped out at 71 degrees! What a great day for a walk...Mama and Daddy put me in the seat of the stroller to see how I would do. I sat up and looked around like a big girl!

Doctor's Appointment

I went to see Dr. Ziliolli for my 4-month appointment this morning. I weigh 14 pounds 5 ounces (I was 7 pounds 3 ounces when I was born) and am 25 1/2 inches long (19 3/4 when born). I'm longer than 85% of all other 4-month-olds. Wow! I had to get 3 more shots, which I whimpered a little for but I was a trooper. Mama was so proud of me. Dr. Ziliolli also said that I can start cereal now. I see some messy pictures in the future!

This picture is a month old but it's a funny one that I don't that Mama has posted yet.

Happy New Year!

Whew, what a trip! We arrived back in Baltimore EARLY Tuesday morning. I'm having a hard time recuperating from our time in Michigan. It's really exhausting being so cute and entertaining all the time! It was great to meet some more of my family...I can't wait to see you again and show you some new tricks! Thanks to everyone for playing with me and for the fun presents I got! Here is a hodge-podge of pictures from the week in Michigan.

I love playing the piano! Don't I look like a pro?

I played so hard with Grandpa Thaler that I laid my head on his chest and decided it was a good place for a little rest.

I get to start solids pretty soon. Here I am trying a piece of celery...it was icky at first but I decided that it's a great thing to suck on!

Santa put some bubble bath in my stocking....I thought I liked bath time before, but I love it now!

Four generations of Thalers: Great-Grandma Lila, Grandpa Steve, Daddy and me!

Enjoying time with Great-Grandma Paesens

One of my favorite presents this Christmas was this penguin...it's so funny! I talk to it and give it kisses whenever I see it.

Four generations on the Poort side of the family: Great-Grandpa Clem and Great-Grandma Iris, Grandma Linda, Daddy and me, of course!

Aahhh...I love Christmas!

Mama, Daddy and I over at Uncle Dan and Aunt Sue's house

Me with my big sister, Nellie. I think she's a little mad that I took away some attention from her, but she still is a good sister. I like to kick my legs a lot at night and she laid by my crib to make sure I was okay....how sweet!

Sitting on Santa's lap. Hmmm....he kind of looks like Uncle Kirk! Interesting....
