New Digs!
Well, we're finally moved into our NEW HOUSE! It's AWESOME!
Mommy and Granddaddy picked it out while Daddy was in the hospital. They must have done a good job because Daddy BOUGHT IT! (He says somebody named More-Gij really owns it, but they're going to let us live there!)
It's HUGE! It has four stories and five bedrooms and two bathrooms and a den and a living room and a kitchen and a dining room and a utility room and closets and I already have my stuff spread out in every room!
Guess what? The nice lady next door just brought home a baby boy who was born the day before we moved in! We might get to be playmates!
And there are some more little kids who live across the street from us! We're going to have so much fun together!
Know what? Daddy taught me how to hold my own bottle yesterday! He says I'm a BIG GIRL, now!
Daddy had to work tonight and Mommy went to her Bible Study Group, so Granddaddy and Grandmommy came by to babysit me. We had lots of fun until I had to go to bed. (But I did get to stay up until 8:00 so I could play with them.)
What do you think of my new pictures below? Ain't I a cutie?
Bye-bye!

My First Family Reunion
Today was my first time, but Granddaddy says it was the 20th Family Reunion held annually at Lake Gaston! The weather was gorgeous! Boy, did we have a house-full of kids! There was Kirby, Jameson, Brandon, Natalie, Elizabeth, Priscilla, Isaiah, Joshua, and Anna! I didn't know I had so many cousins!
They had some big kids there, named Susan, James, Terri, Laura, Stephen, Kimberly & Beverly (the twins), Andrea, Kirby (today was her 21st birthday!), Sara, Camryn (and her friend Cheyenne) and Jenny.
Some even bigger kids there were "Little Jimmy," Kay (it was her brother's lake house), Doug, Laura, Larry, Maude, Windell, Grandmommy, Uncle Dale, Uncle Greg and Aunt Karen.
And one of my Great Grandmas was there, too! That's a lot of people and it got noisy sometimes. Especially when I was trying to take a nap and everybody was eating lunch! They had hot dogs with chili, cheeseburgers, North Carolina barbecue, brunswick stew, blackeyed peas, potato salad, macaroni & cheese, and lots and lots of desserts, too!
I won first prize for being the youngest one there, but Anna came in second, 'cause she's three months older than me (see picture of us below). She knows how to sit up, eat Cheerios and EVERYTHING!
I got to swing on an outdoor swing for the first time! Mommy pushed me and I giggled the whole time! Granddaddy says he bought me one at a yard sale and he's going to put it up for me soon!
Some people went "tubing" behind a boat on the lake, but Mommy wouldn't let Granddaddy take me. He told me we'll have to wait until she's not looking before we can have some REAL fun! (But don't tell her. It's our little secret!)
I was sad because Daddy couldn't come with us. He had to work today. And Aunt Christy and Uncle Dan weren't there, either, because they're in Dallas. I'll get to see them at Christmas.
TTFN! (ta-ta for now!)

My First State Fair!
Wow, what a day! We went to the State Fair of Virginia and had a GREAT TIME!
First, I got to sit on a real tractor (see new photos below). Then, they gave me a baby duck to pet, but I grabbed it instead. I'm still learning how to be gentle!
Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Granddaddy took me. (Grandmommy stayed home because her back still hurts.)
Everybody else got to eat Fair Food, but I had to eat my strained peas and bananas. I can't wait until I'm old enough for an Italian Sausage Sandwich with green peppers and onions! (Daddy said he doesn't look forward to changing my diaper after that one!)
I spent a lot of time in my stroller just looking up at stuff. There was so much to see, I didn't know where to look first! Daddy carried me a lot, and showed me lots of animals, like goats and cows. One of the cows just had a 90 pound baby! That's more than I weighed!
In one of the buildings, I got a Veggie Tales CD with my own name on it! Grandma bought me a Winnie the Pooh in a Tigger costume! Granddaddy let me pick up a duck (a plastic one in a swimming pool) and I won a prize!
We saw some other kids with their grandparents. Grandaddy said he could tell they were grandparents because they bought the children plastic trumpets that made a lot of noise. He said a parent probably wouldn't do that, but I don't know why not!
We all had fun, but after four hours, it was time to call it a day. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Bye, Bye, Bottle!
Well, I'm only five and a half months old and I've already given up the bottle (almost)! Mom gave me some carrots and bananas today and fed them to me on a spoon! (see photos below)
She says this colorful stuff doesn't cost as much as the formula I've been drinking and they need to save their pennies for our NEW HOUSE! That's right!
After much prayer, Granddaddy found us a new house about 5 miles away from the one we're in now and we'll be moving in next month! I'll have a much bigger bedroom, and one wall is covered with a hand-painted mural of a little girl in a field with flowers and trees! I really like it. Dad and I got to see it for the first time yesterday.
That's because Dad was in the hospital last week with viral meningitis. He had a rough time, but he's all better now. The worst part was, I couldn't see him for three days!
Speaking of hospitals, Grandmommy was in one last Friday because she woke up with her back muscles hurting so bad, she couldn't get out of bed! Granddaddy had to call the rescue squad to get her to the emergency room! She's almost all better, now, and went back to work today.
As Mom always says, there's never a dull moment in our family!
Guess what? I get to go to my first State Fair on Saturday! Dad says he was only one month old when he went for the first time! I'll try to get them to take some more pictures for my blog!
Hope to see you soon!

Five Months and Counting!
Well, I hit the big 5-0 yesterday (5 months, that is!). Funny, I don't feel a day older than four!
To celebrate, I rolled over from my front to my back for Miss Christie (not Aunt Christy, my babysitter)! I guess that's a good thing, but it sure threw me for a loop!
I finally found out why Mom and Dad have been working on the house so hard...we're moving! They say we're going to stay in Richmond, but go to a bigger house! That means I'll have more rooms to explore (when I learn how to crawl)! Lots of people want to buy our house (can you blame them? It's where I LIVE!) Now all the folks have to do is find a new house for us to move in. Keep them in your prayers because it's a big decision!
New photos below. Let me know what you think!
Nitey-nite!
