Week 39

Hi!!  Tomorrow is my 9 month birthday...can you believe it??  This week my new trick is shaking my head no.  Well, not really no, I don't quite understand when to use it...but boy is it fun.  I just shake my head back and forth really fast and everyone thinks it's pretty funny to watch.  I'm chatting more and more everyday and getting new phrases.  Like Baba, LaLa, ect.  Abby love to tell Momma all of the new words I'm saying (even if she thinks I'm way more advanced than I really am - like Abby, Lily and Ruby), but she's a great encourager and tries to get me to say Go Pack, Go almost every day.  I'm also getting pretty good at this moving around thing.  I can go from one thing to another, like the couch to the chair while hanging on tight.  I also started pushing around things with wheels like Abby's little wagons or her dump truck.

This week's fabric is from Mommy's friend, Deb.  She has sheep that she sells at the fair each year and she thought this fabric might be fun.  Mom says it will be a great addition to the quilt she'll be making for me!  We both thought it was perfect for around Easter time...did you know people eat something called lamb butter??  How strange.

Week 38

You guys know who that guy is on my fabric?  I guess he's called the Easter Bunny and he has my sister all excited.  Something about eggs and candy?  I don't know.  What I do know is that I'm 38 weeks old and becoming quite a crazy little lady.  Guess what I learned how to do this week?  Climb stairs.  Oh yeah, you read that right...climb stairs.  I climbed myself right up onto Abby's bed this weekend AND right up near the toilet using Abby's little potty stool.  Mommy says I need to SLOW down.

This week's fabric came from Bubby too.  Easter is so early this year that I got two holiday fabrics back to back.  How fun!

Week 37

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  We McGrath's really enjoy our Irish roots.  Did you know the other name Mommy and Daddy had picked out for me was Molly?  With a name like Molly McGrath you'd know I was part Irish for sure! This weeks fabric came from Bubby and is perfect for St. Patrick's Day week.

What's new with me?  Well, I just spent my first 10 days away from Mommy and Daddy and boy am I happy to have them back.  I'm not sure who is happier, them, or me....but we are all glad to be back together. 

While they were gone I really sped up my crawling and walking along things.  Mom thinks I'll be walking in no time.  And, I started "talking" too while they were gone.  I've got words like DaDa, LaLa and sometimes MaMa, but I don't really associate them with anything yet.  Mom and Dad love hearing me babble though!

Week 36

Yea, this week's post is a little late, Mommy's been very busy.  She's WAY far away in a Hawaii.  Luckily, she took this picture a little early, before she left so we're still on track here.  Yesterday Mommy forgot to post because she was on a helicopter ride AND took surfing lessons.  On the schedule for today - a 11 mile hike!  She says she's on vacation, but I have a feeling she and Daddy will be really tired when they get home.

So - what's up with me?  I've been staying with Grandma and Papa for about 5 days now, and will spend the next 5 with Bubby and Grandpa. I sure miss my Mom, but this is fun too. 

This week's fabric came from my great Aunt Jane.  She's Grandma's sister and she lives in Colorado.  It's a little hard to see in the picture, but those are cute little grey mice.  It's getting really hard for Mom to get pictures of me that aren't blurry because I move A LOT these days. 

Grandma wasn't sure if Mom got a weekly picture for me this past week so she also took this one for Mom, just in case.  It's a special one because the fabric is actually my Great Grandpa Milts shirt.  He went to Hawaii one time with Grandma, Papa and Mom, and he loved it so much that he spent a month or so there for a few years.  I wish I could have met him...he seems really cool.  Anyways, this fabric is his shirt and Grandma thought it would be a fun picture since Mom and Dad are in Hawaii right now.
