My First Tooth!!!

You heard it right...I finally cut my first tooth yesterday! It is the bottom left one! Mom, Dad, Murphy and I were all so excited!! I was acting a little fussy to let mom and dad know it was coming, but they really did not catch on (they thought it was my earache...silly guys)! The funny thing is that I really do not let anyone see the tooth! I put my tongue in the way whenever someone tries to look and yell at them to stop! You can feel it though...yesterday it felt like a little razor blade, but today the entire top has popped up so it isn't as sharp! Wonder when the bottom right one will pop out? Soon, I bet.

Pictures to follow...once I decide to let people take a look at it!! heehee!

My week!

This has been a very busy week. While mom and dad are working hard at work I have been working very hard at home trying to learn to be a big girl!

My Dad, Grandma Vicki and Grandpa Dick were all very nice and took off work to babysit me! I had so much fun with everyone! I wanted Grandpa to think I was a really good girl and even waited to have a poopy diaper until mom and dad were home! Grandma even got to send the night and see me a lot this week! It was so much fun!

My little ear infection turned into a really bad one and mom had to take me to an after hours pediatrician to get me checked out. It turns out I did not respond well to the first antibiotic so they had to give me another one. I seem to be feeling a bit better, but we go back to the doctor Friday to check it out for sure. I also have to get my shots this Friday! Not fun at all! I can't remember if I blogged this yet or not, but the doctor decided to wait to do my shots until I am feeling better. Did I tell you all that at my 6 month appointment I weighed 18lbs and 6oz? I am in the 88th percentile or something like that!! I am growing big and strong!

We went to Pittsburg this weekend to see everyone! I got to go and shop at Little Balkans days with mom and Grandma, got to play with Great Grandma and Grandpa and stay the night at G'ma and G'pa's house!! I was so excited to be staying the night in Pittsburg that I barely slept a wink! There was just so much to see and do in Pittsburg...Grandma Vicki's house is full of really cool things for me to stare at! Mom and Dad barely got to sleep because I required them to hold me all night long!! I am really not a fan of that pack and play bed thing they brought me to sleep in!!

My friend Kate Larson sent me a present from California!! It is the cutest grey tank top that says "Surfer Girls Rule"!! I felt totally cool wearing it. I paired it with a cute pair of denim shorts and a fancy pink and green bow! I made a fashion statement! Thank you Kate for thinking of me!!

Here are some pictures!

Dress Up!

Aunt Jenny came over last week and brought me a really pretty dress I might wear for my pictures. The only problem is that it is a little snug on me! It is so pretty though and has the coolest hat! Here are some pictures of it! Mom and Dad have to take me to get my 6 month pictures soon!! Soon I will not be 6 months old anymore! We have just been so busy lately though...it is crazy!!

Here are some pictures in my tutu...I will be wearing this in my 6 month photos. I am even getting a bow made from Grandma Vicki's friend that will match!!! I am so lucky! I feel like I need to get a princess wand made too...then I will be really fancy!

Here I am in my flower girl dress for Aunt Jenny's wedding. Mom and Aunt Jenny are worried it will be too small for the wedding. I told them I will do lots of exercises so it fits!! It is really cute...I love it! I am getting a special bow made for this dress too!! Mom would not let me take my bib off for very long when we tried on this dress!!! She was afraid I would stain it!
Mom and Dad got me my very own sippy cup!! It is so neat because I can hold it all by myself and chew on the top! The doctor said I can drink water now, so that is fun! I can carry this cup with me wherever I want!

Love,

Kate

This is what Daycare should be like!!!

I am the luckiest girl in the world and get to spend Monday through Friday with my best friend Sydney!! See, Miss Lori (Sydney's mom) is so nice and told my mom and dad she will babysit me when mom and dad are at work for the next month since my first babysitter was bad!

We had so much fun and played all day long. I think Miss Lori might have gotten a little tired by the end of the day though. It seemed like Miss Lori was feeding us, changing us and playing with us all day long! It was funny to watch her try to feed Sydney cereal and entertain me at the same time!! I hope I did not stress her out!! I can't wait until next week to play again!

Here are some pictures of us during our first day together!

Love,

Mmmmm...

My first bite of cereal EVER!!!

and it is caught on tape....

Allergies are YUCKY!!

It appear I have more in common with my dad than just our looks!!! I have allergies just like him. Mom says "darn it"...she just hopes I do not get asthma!! We went to the doctor today and they said the itchy, red watery eyes, runny nose, congestion, and itchy ears are sure signs. They told mom and dad to give me children's Benadryl. I kinda like the Benadryl...it is grape flavored!!! Mmmm!!

Here are some pictures of me all slobbery-faced and yucky with my allergies!! I have snot all over myself and I can not help it!

Love,

Kate
