Nite-Nite! 

Ain't Life Grand? 

I Survived Another Sink Bath! 

Great Aunt Gail Tickles Me! 

Changed, Fed and Napped! 

Back from the Beach

Well, we're home now, after a week at Nag's Head beach. Got lots of photos (see below).

The trip down was exciting, to say the least! Our van had a blowout (not the diaper kind) and we had to buy two new tires. I'm thankful nobody was hurt (except for Dad's wallet!)

We all stayed in a three-story beach cottage about a block from the beach in Kill Devil Hills. The water in the pool and on the beach was too cold to get in, but the hot-tub was just right (or so they tell me...I'm supposedly too young to get in).

It rained for the last half of the week, so we spent lots of time shopping and playing Spades. Aunt Christy took over the nightwatch with me for Mom and Dad one night. We got to see a beautiful sunrise!

I got to spend a lot of time with Granddaddy and Grandmommy and they kept trying to get me to smile at them. Once in a while, I gave in and cracked one for them. They make the silliest faces!

Mom gave me a bath in the kitchen sink with EVERYBODY WATCHING! (how humiliating!) Dad and I played a round of putt-putt (no flatulence jokes, please) with me hanging on his chest in my Snuggly. Talk about a handicap!

Aunt Christy wants us all to go to the beach together every other year, so I guess we'll go back in 2007. I'm already saving my pennies to help out!

The Gang's All Here! (That's me in the middle)

Does a Flush beat a Full House?

Me and Granddaddy Wore Plum Out! 

To the Shore!

Now that my digestive system is back on track (don't go there, it's not ladylike), I'm packing for my first trip to the beach!

Mom, Dad, Granddaddy, Grandmother, Uncle Dan, Aunt Christy and I will be sharing a beach house at Nags Head next week!

I don't really know what a "beach" is, but I've noticed Mom packing a lot of lotions, hats, umbrellas and other stuff. Beach must be like court because I've seen Michael Jackson going to a courthouse with the same stuff on TV!

The house we're staying in has everything EXCEPT the Internet, so I'll be out of touch for a while.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and take time to remember the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform so we can enjoy the freedoms we take for granted today!

Yes, I'm Still Here!

Sorry I haven't written in a while, but I've been a busy girl!

I took mom, the grandmas and great grandmas out to eat on Mother's Day weekend. I was a very well-behaved little lady, if I do say so myself! Even my one-year-old cousin Gracie made a graceful appearance in the restaurant.

Last Friday, mom and dad took me to Lynchburg, and I took Uncle Dan and Aunt Christy out to eat in celebration of their graduation and first anniversary. On Saturday, we spent about five hours at Liberty University watching a bunch of people in black robes and funny hats parade around the floor of the Vines Center. Boy, was it LOUD in there! But, I'm proud of Uncle Dan and Aunt Christy for becoming real college graduates, like my mom and dad!

Yesterday, I got sprinkled (she means "dedicated" - ed.) at church! The minister said some things to my parents and then put his hand in a bowl of water and wet my head! He said it was to encourage my folks to raise me in the church and hope that I'll choose God's ways when I grow up. I know lots of people are already praying that I will.

I'm posting some new photos below, so be sure to check them out. Hope to see you soon!

Grandma, I Wanna Go Outside and Play!

Funny Dream! 

I Think Mom Likes Me! 

Downtown Show and Tell

Mom and Dad just took me for my first visit downtown! We went to Granddaddy's office and he carried me around for a half-hour showing me off to lots of people. They all said I was adorable and kept touching my feet!

I tried to spit my pacifier down the elevator shaft, but just missed. Dad washed it off for me and plugged me back up. Granddaddy fed me my bottle and I slept through the rest of the visit.

While we were going back to the car, a fire truck went by on the street with its siren going, but they tell me even that didn't wake me up! I guess I got my deep sleeping habits from my Dad!

In just a few hours, I'll be FOUR WEEKS OLD! Can you believe it? Before you know it, I'll be ready for my first steak! I can't wait!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Holocaust Remembrance Day and National Day of Prayer!

Pizza Party!

Yesterday, I attended my first Pizza Party at Grandmother's church office! Of course, everyone had pepperoni or cheese pizza except me and I had a bottle of formula (yippee!). I can't wait until I can get my hands around a liter of Dr. Pepper! (see photos below)

Aunt Christy came to town with her friend Miss Becky. Both of my great-grandmas were there, along with my great aunt Karen and cousin Gracie. Of course, mommy, grandmother and grandaddy (pronounced "Gran-Diddy") were there, too! He's still working on nicknames for me. He no longer calls me "Skeeter" or "Tater." For some reason, he's started calling me "Putt-Putt." I don't know what that means, but grandmother says it's "due to the formula."

Dad had to work, unfortunately. (but I'm glad he has a job!)

I slept most of the time, but did wake up to see Gracie impersonate a woman in labor (don't ask!) She learned that from her big sisters.

Last night, mom, dad, grandmother and grandaddy took me to an auction for mom's school. You wouldn't believe the number of people who wanted to bid on me! (mom says I'm not for sale)

Well, I'm over three weeks old now, so I'll sign off. Leave me a comment and let me know what's new in your life!
