a wonderful friend of mommy's (i haven't met her yet) got me these kickin' pants just becasue i was born.....thanks robyn!

cousin aiden sure does love sitting in uncle kyle's lap and readin' them books!

spending time with aunt megan....watching a little football (the game was a knuckle sucker!)

aunt havi came too (can i still call her my aunt if she's not really my aunt?) and i finally got a picture with her -took you long enough mom!

taking pictures of a crying baby may be funny to you....not so much to me

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!



really dad?

just because i lack the motor skills to take the hat off, does not give you the right to put it on me in the first place

top banana

i'll let you guess what I was for halloween

that's right....i was a banana.  not just any banana though, i was a TOP Banana!

dad thought it would be funny to put me in the fruit drawer from the refrigerator..clearly he was the only one amused

cousin nolan was buzz light year...we posed for pictures before we hit the pavement to score ourselves some treats!

now how's a girl supposed to rip into a fun size snickers bar with her hands all covered?

can I get some of that candy yet?

quick backtrack.....

I forgot to show you my signature photo

ya....you know i'm cute

I was only 10 days old and the gitfts from dad's friends at work were rolling in like mad.  so mom and dad got creative with the thank you note.  dad added things like "ball girl in training" or "future u.s. open champ" under the photo.  his friends were all drooling over it! (i think some people brought a gift just so they could get the note!)

finally

i got to meet grandpa john and uncle tommy!  they were only here for a day so we had a lot of catching up to do!  after lunch in Evanston (man that bar was loud) we headed out to coo coo's house for dinner (i had milkies but everyone else had prime rib).

i caught some zzzzzz's on grandpa john (his shoulder doesn't get tired like dadddy's does)

don't ask me where my pants went....when i get all full of milkies all bets are off! 

just chiilin'

almost the whole family (aunt ellen and cousin aiden were visiting aunt jenny, unlce nolan and cousin brody in tennessee)

i can't wait until mommy and daddy take me to florida so I can see kk, grandpa john and uncle tommy (and slip inot my suit and go for a swim)

the bath

2 weeks for the cord to fall off = 2 weeks of sitting in your own stink.....time for the bath.  at first I didn't quite understand why i suddenly had no clothes and no diaper on (don't these people know i cannot control when -or on whom- i pee?).  Mom and dad kept saying how I would love the bath (a tub and sponge in a sink-seriously?). 

my first reaction:

it's amazing what a warm wash cloth on a cold belly does for a girl's mood 

can i ask what you are doing with that water near my head?

did we not just establish wash cloth on belly = enjoyable bath experience?

a girl could get used ot this
