Legos

I have been branching out in what I play with these past few weeks. Mama got me these great stacking things when Theo was born and I enjoy playing with them. However, I have not totally mastered the putting the peaces on top of each other. I am slowly getting better and better! Here I actually got one on top of another!

Saying Goodbye

Growing up in San Antonio, I remember getting new friends and classmates fairly often. I learned that even though I am not the one moving about every 3-4 years my friends and classmates would change because of how the military moves. It was never easy and it still is not easy. Since we have moved here we have gotten close to a family at our church and Bible study. Meredith and their youngest son were born 2 weeks apart. Our due dates were opposite of the order they came. It has been a thrill to see them grow together. Meredith who was just a peanut when born, now towers over our friends' child who made Meredith look like the tiniest newborn even though he was the one who was younger. For the past two years have spent almost one day a week over at their house. When I tell Meredith that we are going to our friends' house she says his name over and over and over until we get there.

Our friends are in the process of moving to Germany. As they pack their belongings, I remember friends and classmates moving away. I hope that I am better at keeping in touch with friends now then when I was 10. This past Wednesday we had our friends over for one last get together. Timothy and I have already talked about a trip to visit them in the next year or two. My heart is saddened now not only for myself but for Meredith as we say goodbye to very good friends. We posted a picture of Meredith and her friend playing for this post.

Here's a shout out to my godparents!

From Theodore Elial Baptism

Thank you for supporting me during my baptism. I may not quite get it yet, but I do know that you love me! :)

Here's a picture of all of us from Sunday. Pastor Dave got cut off a little, but we still love him too.

For some reason the only person to really hold me for an extended period of time after the service was Evan, one of my godparents. Don't you think he looks like he will be a good Daddy some day?

I am baptized into the body of Christ!

This past weekend my Mama and Daddy brought me to church (as they usually do), but this time they dressed me up in this outfit. I thought it looked a little girly for my tastes, but they said I was handsome. Can you see the lace in this picture? Oh well, hopefully it doesn't hamper my style...

Anyway, the pastor poured water over my head, I got a little angry, and everyone seemed happy. Happy people makes for a happy baby!

Don't miss out on seeing some pictures in here and also over in the links on the right.

I'm "blonding"

From Theodore Elial Baptism

.. or so says my Mama and Daddy.

I think they're just trying to be nice, as it sounds a whole lot like "balding." Mama also says that she can see new blond hair growing in.

I've seen a few babies already and they seem to be losing their hair too so maybe it isn't such a bad deal. Besides, my sister Meredith seems to have plenty of hair and she's not even 2 years old yet so I don't think I have much to worry about.

What do you think?

I think my Mama is the bestest Mama around! :)

Baby Wearing

As you all know Mama is a connoisseur of carriers. I too have started to be creative in how I carry around my doll! here I am utilizing one of Theo's swaddle blankets. Yes, I was just using it as a queen's robe. (got to love imagination).

All Hail the Queen

I have been confiscating blankets from Theo to be a queen! I enjoy ruling the castle (well as much as Mama and Daddy will let me). Right now that pretty much only entails bossing Gilligan around but he does not respond to toddler talking all that well.








I have been able to get him to give me kisses though!

Clipity Clop

I am a pretty happy go lucky baby! I thus far am learning lots of new things one of my favorite activities is playing with my toys. I have this activity mat that I really enjoy playing on but I only get the chance when my sister is sleeping or if my Mama sits right next to me. Meredith has this thing with trying to move me while i lay on the activity mat. We are working on communicating and sharing though!

Here is a picture of me with Clipity clop.

Another Camera

Daddy got a package in the mail about two week ago and it was another camera. Mama and Daddy were both excited. Mama kept saying things about her being able to take pictures now. The weekend before Theo's baptism Mama and Daddy spent a lot of time behind the camera and this is how I saw them. Which is fine because then you all are able to see pictures of me and Theo.

Don't worry about them neglecting us to take their pictures. I rather enjoy getting out of the house and stretching my legs. Mama and Daddy let me run around sometimes while they are taking pictures and one of them always has an eye on me and Theo.

Thank You

My Grandma came down to meet Theo but ended up taking me to the potty a whole bunch. Here she is taking me on Theo's baptism.

My other grandparents came down too for Thoe's baptism and i think all of them expect Grandpa Stavenger took me to the potty at least once. This sure helps Mama keep me in panties!

So you have heard correct I have been in panties for a few weeks now and am getting really good at peeing in the potty! Mama is excited to have a big girl on her hands now!!
