Week 47

We're just ticking off the weeks, getting closer and closer to my FIRST Birthday.  Mommy said the invitations for my party should be here tomorrow.  I can't wait to see what she did with them.  And, how cool is that?  I get to have a party all about me!  And, eat cake?!?  I can't wait!

This week's fabric came from my cousin Nora.  She's the sweetest...she picked out this owl fabric because she thought it was cute and because she thought Mommy and I would like it.  She couldn't have been more correct!  Someone must have told her that Mommy loves owls...they are all over my room, so She's super excited to include this fabric in my quilt.  I love all the bright fun colors too!

Week 46

Hi guys...can you believe that we're rounding the corner on a year of these weekly pictures!?!  Only 6 more weeks left.  Mommy's been digging deep into the fabric basket to make sure that we get to all of the sweet people who gifted fabric for my quilt.  This week's came from my second cousin Nathaniel.  He wrote the sweetest little note that said " I chose this because I like sports and maybe the baby will too".  Well, I'm here to say that I already love sports.  One of my favorite games is rolling the ball back and forth with my sister.  She loves to play ball with me and I just laugh and laugh when Mommy helps me push it back.  We bought a soccer ball this weekend and I can't wait until I'm walking and can learn how to kick just like my big sister!

After one REALLY cold weekend, Mommy said it's finally going to start getting warmer and we can play outside more.  I think she said we're going to do some landscaping this weekend...not sure what that is...but I think it'll include me crawling in the grass and probably eating dirt...my favorite :)

Week 45

Hey guys - a little late this week, but we got the picture last weekend (like we always do).  Mom's just been really busy with work and didn't have time to get the post up on Monday like she normally does.  Like my fabric for this week?  It came from a really close family friend named Rhonda.  She is Parker and Reese's grandma and Mommy spent a LOT of time at her house playing with Nichole when she was little.  Kinda like how I play with Parker and Reese now.

Mommy picked this fabric this week because it's starting to feel more and more like summer around here these days.  There's been lots of rain, which is making all the flowers come out, but it's getting warmer now so we're starting to play outside more and more.  Someday I'll be able to ride on a big girl bike these these.  I can't wait.

Week 44

Well guys, Momma picked this fabric for this week because it looks springy and warm...and we all had hopes that that was exactly what the weather would be like this past weekend.  We were sadly disappointed!!  The warm glow in this picture comes from the lamp Mom needed to turn on to get enough light in the room to grab picture for the week.  Instead of being warm and sunny, it was cold and wet!  It felt like winter and while I'm sure winter will be more fun for me next year when I can go out and play in the snow, I'm over it right now.  I want sun and sand and warm weather.  Not cold and rain!

No notable first for me this week, I had TONS for last week and I just needed to take a few days off to let my brain absorb all that I was learning.  That happens to you too, right?

Week 43

Lots of first for me this week.  I went to the water park for the first time and learned how to suck out of the little food pouches (Mommy was excited about that).  I also learned how to clap and I learned how to eat snacks out of those little food cups with lids (another one Mommy is really happy about).  And, I got my first flu.  That was not idea....it's been a long couple of days.  Being sick is not fun at all!  But, Mommy was able to get this great shot of me this week.

This weeks fabric came from a very good family friend, Carolyn.  When Mommy was little she would spend the afternoons after school at Carolyn's house until Grandma got home.  She has SO many memories with the Fletcher family.  The fabric is actually the spines of books.  Carolyn picked it because she knows Mommy loves to read and because there is a really memorable story about the time that Carolyn took all the kids to the library one day in the rain.  I can't wait to hear it!

Week 42

See how happy I am that it's starting to feel like summer outside?  Shoot, I'll take spring even, but this warm summer weather has us all feeling a little happier these days!  Mom says it's time for me to start eating more real food so we've been trying lots of things.  I had peanut butter for the fist time yesterday.  It was good.  I got messy.

This week's fabric came from Grandma's friend, Carol.  She picked it out for lots of reasons.  She said she liked that it was bright green and cheery...for a happy baby like me.   It has flowers and ladybugs because she loves to garden...and it has clovers for good luck always.  Thanks Carol, I love it!

Week 41

We're wishin' and hopin' for spring around here!  We've had the strangest weather these days.  The sun will be shining one minute and then we'll have a snow storm the next.  I know my sister is SUPER excited for spring and all things "outside".  This week's fabric came from Betsy (and her two cute boys, Bradley and Brennan).

I've had a few first this week too!  I'm now standing on my own (without holding on to anything) for about 5 or 6 seconds.  Walking probably isn't too far away!  I'm also starting to wave "Hi' now too which Mommy thinks is super fun!  She says she loves this age.
