At the Park

We've been taking as much advantage as possible lately of the gorgeous weather outside.
Here are some great photos I got last week at the park.

He Sits!

Well, mostly. :) Also, if you would kindly note: his hair has started growing in. Really.

Bad Mommy

Is it bad that I really love this photo?
When I took it, she was new to sitting up, and I felt so proud. Even though she's crying, I think she is just unbelievably beautiful. Am I allowed to say that?

Out with the old, in with the new!

Dear Baby Gap,

Thank you for calling your 6-12 month size "newborn" and "infant." It made cleaning out the closet a lot easier on this sentimental mommy to know that somebody else still thinks she's a newborn, too.

Good marketing.

I will remain a loyal customer, despite your ridiculous prices just for those little tags that say "infant."

Sincerely yours,

ShirleysMama

Sitting Baby, Running Bull

I'm not so sure this was a good idea, Mama.




Oh my gosh! I am the only baby EVER to sit up in all of time! Mama, look at MEEEEEEEE!
Oh, this can't be good.


Mama, tell Grandma Brenda that my jams are too big, but SOO pretty with my eyes.

Her first Games

I should have written this post months ago, but I didn't think any of you would believe me.

Soon after SJ started laughing in July, I realized that she was playing a game with me. When we sit down to nurse, she eats her fill, and then "pretends" to latch on, and then lets go and looks at me with a huge grin on her face. Then I say, "OH! You tricked me!" And she laughs and laughs. And she does it over and over until one of us gets bored. It's the sweetest thing. And clever, no? She's seriously been doing this since she was about three months old.

She also made up another game about three weeks ago. She thinks it is so funny when her fingers find their way into OUR mouths. She laughs as I "cookie monster" her fingers, and she pulls them out, and then sneakily reaches back for my mouth.

I love a baby with a sense of humor.

The above photo is from a couple of weeks ago, wearing an outfit that my mom saved from when I was a baby. She looks so pretty in blue!
