Catching up

Well, a lot has been going on lately, where to start?

First off, i am 9 months old now. mommy will post some pics when she gets some free time-she has been really busy lately. I am doing all kinds of fun things. I learned how to clap and it is so much fun when me and mommy clap together. I am eating a lot of big people food now, it is so much better than baby food. and, i am trying so hard to stand on my own...i'll get it soon. And, oh my gosh, you should hear me talk.... I am just like mommy- I love to talk jibber jabber :)

hhmmm....what else. Well i have been sick for the last few weeks. I had to spend a little bit of time last weekend in the hospital. But i am getting all better now. I have to go to the Dr today for my 9mo check up and a follow up appointment from being sick- I will let you know how everything goes when mommy puts some pics on here.

As i told you before, mommy and daddy are buying a house. We were supposed to close and get the keys tomorrow but now we have to wait till next week. But thats ok, I am just getting excited about the idea of having my own room, one with out computers in it.

On a happy note, Uncle Michael and his family will be moving back from California this year, probably around november. But he will be back a few times before then- I am so excited to meet him.

Well i better get off here for now, I am going out to see aunt phil before she leaves tomorrow for California.
talk to you soon.

8 months old

I am 8 months old now, gee time sure does fly.

Not much has been going on lately. Last weekend was my cousins Quentin's 1st birthday so we went to his party and had a blast. (Ill attach a pic of me and Uncle Braden at the party) It was fun seeing grandpa smith and aunt Rachel and aunt tina and everyone else. I wish we all lived closer and could see each other more often.

I have now mastered walking along the furniture and have started to step towards things, sometimes letting completely go for a sec or two. I have also learned that when mommy says 'ALIVIA, No Thank You' that she means i am not supposed to be doing what it is i am doing or what i am thinking about doing. and when she says it she really does mean it! It took me a while to figure this out but now i know i better listen- and giving her my cute face doesnt work!

hhmm...what else....oh yea! mom and daddy found a house!! Hopefully all will work out well and it will be ours in the next month or so. I have invested a lot of time in this so it better be ours, can you believe i actually sat through a 3 hour inspection yesterday.. geezz what i would have done to just be at Grandma Judys or Aunt Phyl's instead :)

I am eating a lot of new foods now. I love fresh pineapple and short bread cookies, and thousand island dressing (sshhh...dont tell anyone-when mom is not looking i steal some out of her bowl). I also like to eat cheerio's and toast and chicken noodle soup! yummy!! and of course i am still eating all of the yummy baby food but that is not as exciting as big people food.

Lately me and mommy have been spending a lot of time at Papa Johnson's house becasue mommy has photos to shoot for her business. I like spending time out there cuz there are a lot of rooms to explore in and a lot of toys. And when papa gets home he always comes in and sees me, i really like that.

well ill leave you now with some cute pictures of me. Click on them to see them bigger.
