Arizona!

After a long day of traveling yesterday, we have made it to Arizona. It is so nice and sunny. I have already been out to explore our hotel and a little outdoor shopping mall next to our hotel. I love to watch all of the fountains and relax in the sun.

Daddy keeps telling me he is going to take me swimming, I'm so excited! I'll keep you posted if anything else exciting happens while we are here.

6 months old

It's my 1/2 birthday today... I'm 6 months old!

Did you know that I'm getting a tooth? It is the bottom right one (when you are looking at me). I also know how to sit up on my own, and I'm starting to eat solid foods. I can sleep through the night most nights (as long as I'm not sick), and I have gotten all of my shots to keep me healthy.

In the next few weeks, I'll be crawling, eating more and more solid foods and before you know it I'll be walking and talking. If you haven't seen me lately, you should really stop by to wish me a happy half-birthday. Otherwise, you might miss my adorable 6 month old self! :)

Love you all...

Sitting

Yesterday was so exciting! I sat on my own for the first time - well, I knew that I could sit but it is the first time that I showed mommy and daddy. It was very funny to see mom and dad so excited about something so simple. Then Grandma Destia and Poppos came to visit and everyone really wanted me to do it again for them. So I did.

After all of that hard work, I went to bed. Unfortunately it was a long night and I woke up with a little fever. I hope that I'm not getting too sick. My friend at school has hand, foot and mouth disease (which they tell me is just like the flu but you get a rash on your hands, feet, and mouth). I REALLY don't want that! We have so many exciting things coming up this week - Cade & Blake have basketball games, Superbowl, and of course we are going to Arizona for the weekend. I can't miss out on all of the fun!

Until next time...

Peas, green peas

This morning mommy introduced me to peas. They are very green and I'm not sure if I like the taste of them. But, I suppose that I will try them again...

Food!

What can I say - I was so excited to have my first solid meal. And when I say "solid meal" I really mean slightly thicker milk. But hey - don't knock my first step towards solids. All I can say is that it was delicious! We had so much fun eating, although it was a bit messy. You can check out the video my dad took of me - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixkvQGO_7u4

I can't wait to start in on some of the other yummy things mom and dad have for me... what do you think should be next? Peas, Sweet Potatoes? I'll be sure to update you.
