I'm 6 Months Old!!!

I turned 6 months old today...Yipee!! I went to my check up yesterday and Dr. Davis said I am a very healthy, growing boy. I now weigh 18 pounds and I am 26 inches long. I think sister weighed this much at a year old! My check up went great. Mommy didn't have to make a list of questions this time. Dr. Davis was happy to see all the things I can do like roll onto my tummy and then back and put my toes in my mouth. I can almost sit up by myself (gotta work on those tummy muscles). I had to get two shots but I was brave. I cried but didn't shed a tear. Dr. Davis said "just keep doing what you are doing and see you in 3 months". Wanna take a guess on how much I'll weigh then???

Happy Earth Day!

Mommy said that today was Earth Day. She said that it is the day we remember how important our Earth is to us and we need to do lots of things to take care of it. She said we should take care of our Earth everyday. Mommy said she is so excited because we are now getting recycling service in our neighborhood (finally!). She said I will get to help her sort our plastics, cans and paper. Boy do I love to help! Daddy wasn't too happy about having to put 2 BIG cans out by the curb now. But me and mommy told him he has to do his part too! I do mine by not wasting water when I brush my teeth. In honor of Earth Day, here is a picture of me and my tomato plants. My Nana helped me plant these and she makes sure I water them everyday. Ryan likes to go outside and watch. I can't wait till I can pick my tomatoes to eat! I love being GREEN!!

Mickey, Minnie and the Easter Bunny!

This weekend was such a super fun, long, four day weekend. It started off with having a "Big Sister" day on Friday. Mommy and Daddy took me to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner then to see Disney on Ice at the Alamodome. It was a blast! I saw the characters from the Lion King, Peter Pan, Lilo and Stitch and my favorite, The Little Mermaid. Check out my cool Flounder Hat! My daddy wore it most of the night (can you just picture that??). Mickey, Minnie and the gang were all there too. All the skaters were so awesome! I sat front row and got to wave to all of them. Tinker Bell was so pretty. She even flew with Peter Pan. Thanks Mommy and Daddy! It was sooo much fun!



Then the Easter Bunny came to vist us early. He came on Saturday instead of Sunday because we left for Corpus Christi to spend Easter with our cousins and Mamaw and Papaw (maybe he didn't have Mapquest!). Once we got there we had an awesome fun day. It was our great-grandma Mina's birthday. So it was like two parties in one. We had bar-b-que and LOTS of desserts. Raymon and Maliyah were there and so were Uncle Raymon and Auntie Missy and Uncle David. We had an egg hunt (I think I got the most eggs...shhh), and a pinata. Even Ryan got to hit the pinata...with daddy's help of course. We did sidewalk chalk and then we had a cascarone fight! Some of the eggs were hard on our heads!

We had such a good time in Corpus. We got sooo many Easter gifts from everyone and we loved every single one of them! Thank you so much! I can't wait till next year when Monkey will be able to go hunt for eggs with us. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend...cause we sure did!!

The Easter Bunny is Coming...

It is Easter weekend and we are getting ready for the Easter Bunny! Yesterday he came a little early and visited my school. He hid a bunch of eggs and me and my friends got to go find them all. I had a hard time getting a bunch of eggs because I kept stopping to see what was inside those colorful eggs. It slowed me down a little.

I got to color some easter eggs too (don't I look cute in my daddy's old shirt?). Mommy bought me a Tinker Bell coloring kit. It even came with some Pixie Dust to sprinkle on my eggs. Ryan couldn't help this year. Mommy gave him a plastic egg to play with and I think he was happy with that.

It is going to be a busy weekend. We are going to Corpus Christi to visit my cousins. I hope the Easter Bunny knows how to get there! Tomorrow I am going to see Disney on Ice. I can't wait to go! Tinker Bell and Ariel are going to be there!

Raspberries Galore!

Guess what I learned to do?! I learned to make raspberries! And boy do I love to make them!
I can lie on back and make them all day long. I can even be in my crib all by myself and be very happy just making raspberries. Big sister Alyssa thinks I'm being so silly and Daddy loves to do them right back to me. Mommy thinks it's cute...well I take that back. She doesn't think it is very cute when I do it while I am eating. Especially when I'm eating my yummy carrots...I wonder why?

What's on the Menu?

Yummy, yummy...I've got food in my tummy! And boy do I love my papa! My mommy FINALLY let me have my first taste of real food...I wonder if my new tooth coming in had anything to do with it?? First on the menu was rice cereal. I had a little problem getting use to the taste and had to learn all about a spoon. Mommy kept working with me and I got better at it. Then it was on to the bananas! You would think a little monkey like me would love them but you know what...they had a little funny taste. But I got use to them and now I have them for breakfast (just mixed into my cereal...hee hee). Then I got to have carrots and boy o boy do I LOVE them. I can gobble them up and leave my plate all clean (too bad I can't say the same for my face!). Maybe mommy should start calling me rabbit! Next on the menu...apples...YUM!
