Sowing Sprouts

This picture was from last weekend. We went to church for the third day in a row, this time on Saturday for an Easter egg hunt. I couldn't make it though dinner and ended up with a puff on my forehead once I fell asleep.

On your mark, get set...

On your mark...

Oooo... Daddy is taking pictures!

Get set...

Take a break -- holding up my body and head is hard work!

So, I haven't figured out the "go" part yet. Maybe soon?

6 Month Checkup

Posted by Emmaline Ruth at 4:14 PM

I went to the pediatrician Wednesday, April 13 for my 6 month checkup. The doctor marveled at my baby rolls and said that I was doing well.

He checked me out from head...

To toe!

He said that Mama might like to remember these numbers: I'm 18 pounds and 27.5 inches tall.

If you haven't gotten enough pictures of me yet, check out the these new ones.

Half Smile

Posted by Theodore Elial at 8:00 PM

Mama says she likes Daddy's half-smile. I thought I'd practice some. How do you think I'm doing?

6 Months

How many is six?

Enough to love a Mama trying to make me smile.

Enough to love a Daddy trying to make me look at him.

One more finger than I can get in my mouth at once (I'm sure I'll prove myself wrong soon enough).

Enough to pose for pictures for my Daddy.

And enough to be able to put my toes in my mouth... trust me, that really is what I'm smiling at.

DRESS up

Posted by Theodore Elial at 7:54 PM

When Meredith asked if I wanted to get in her dress, for a second I thought she just meant playing dress up. Then I realized she wanted to put one of her dresses on me. I decided to play along. We both got on a dress and danced around the room. What fun!

Hey, I'm not even two years old and I'm trying new things! Don't be worried!

Sweet Potatoes

Finally! Mama is going to give me real food!!

Hmm... not what I expected.

No, Mama!

I don't know what I'm supposed to do now?

I sure hope Mama tries something different next time.

Even though I show interest in eating real food, these sweet potatoes just aren't what I was hoping for!

Two Miles!

Posted by Theodore Elial at 2:41 PM

We went on a hike today at the McNary National Wildlife Refuge not far from our house. I love hiking! I especially love when we take short breaks so I can play in the dirt.

I play in the dirt so I can inspect all the cool things in it. I also like collecting the rocks and sticks I find in the dirt.

Do you know how long of a hike we went for today? Two miles, and I walked it all myself (except for a short distance along a road)!

Oh yeah, Meredith came too.

My Sweater

Posted by Emmaline Ruth at 8:33 AM

I love my new sweater. I have been grabbing at it for weeks now while Mama tried to work on it. Then she stopped working on it while I was awake. I just can't understand why Mama did not want my help on it.

Here is a back view up close so that you can see the spiral. Mama says the design is going to "grow" with me so that I will be able to wear it for a few years. Mama thinks that Meredith might be able to wear it right now but Mama does not want to stretch it out.
