It's bathtime!

Just a few pictures of me before/during my bath! I really like my baths. I sit up all by myself while I get washed. I don't get to play too long but I guess I will be able to as I get older!

On the eve of my 7 month birthday--we're outside on our porch!
Hi! It's my birthday today! :-)
Look how pretty my eyes are...

Today is my 7 month birthday! Mommy took me get some pictures taken. I did real well! I had a lot of smiles and no tears! I think we'll play outside today if the weather ever decides to cool down. Daddy pulled out some old baby toys yesterday so I've been real busy playing with my new toys. Most of them make a lot of noise-I like noise and I like lights! I love you!

a few pictures of...M E !!!

Hello. Mom and Dad have been real busy trying to snap pictures of me. Guess I'm beginning to change a whole lots these days. Did you notice that I can sit up all by myself now. I don't tumble over nearly as much as I did a few weeks ago. I like to play with toys too. I have a real neat one that I share with my dog, Lucy. Well, actually it's her toy but I try to get it from her sometimes! Do you like the picture of me in the clouds? Daddy was holding me and Mommy took my picture...it turned out super cool! Well, that's about it from here...I love you all! Write us when you can!

A montage on Mary...

We are blessed

We've finally moved!!!

Yummy...I'm eating rice cereal for the first time. I'm not too sure if I know how to eat from a spoon. I sure did make a mess!

Look what I can do now! On my 6 month birthday, I showed Daddy and Mommy that I could get up on my knees. This picture doesn't really prove it, but I promise you that I'm getting better at my tricks!

Mommy pulled out one of Matthew's old toys...I'm sitting up all by myself. I still tilt over but I'm getting better at sitting by myself.

All dressed and ready to go for my first day of swim lessons. Daddy and me go together. I had a really good time! I think that I did okay. Daddy learned some really cool songs for us while we're in the water playing!

We are finally all moved into our new house. We've met a lot of the neighbors. There are a lot of kids that live by us so all of us should have someone to play with close to our own age. We had a major rain storm the other day, but our house survived! Daddy is pretty upset about the sink hole in our yard, but I think that it could be worse. My sister Abbey was Baptized last weekend. We didn't get any pictures to share; can you believe that Mommy didn't have a camera in the car? I turned 6 months old on the 10th. I have started to eat rice cereal,drink apple juice from a cup, sit up and get on my knees. I'm growing up! I love you all! :-)

Can you believe...a new post!

Okay, I know that you can't really see me, but I promise that I am on the porch in my car seat. Mommy was on her way to get me. This is a picture of our new house. We start moving on Wednesday! :-)

Me cheezin'...we were at the pool! I didn't go in to the pool today; Mommy didn't put me in my swim suit! :-( Daddy usually takes me in the water.

Me and my Daddy! :-) Think that I look like Grandma Mary???

Me and Mommy in our new landscaping...we haven't moved (yet) but we go over there every day to check on the progress!

Me and sisters with Daddy on Father's Day...He's one special dad! I just love him so much!

This is me and Mumu...she's my great Grandma!

I that's me with my TX cousins and my big brothers.

I guess my blues eyes are officially now brown! This is me, just hanging out on my tummy.

Mommy and me playing together~I am in my exersaucer.

I hope that you've enjoyed all of the new pictures here. A lot has happened in June.My cousins from TX came to visit, we went to Worlds of Fun, the Farmstead, the pool, the movies, a quick trip to see my Great Grandma (Mumu) and went on lots of walks! I start swim lessons in a few weeks. We start moving into our new house next week; We are taking a road trip to see Mumu, my aunts and uncles and maybe get to run into some of Daddy and Mommy's old friends from high school. I guess we are going to go to a parade-this will be my first parade EVER! I hear that it's a lot of fun! Mommy said that we probably won't make too many entries here until after our move...come back after the 4th of July to see new pictures! I love you. :-)

Let's Catch up!

Just laughing at my Dad...I'm wearing one of his favorite dresses!

Oopss...Mommy forgot to rotate this photo. This is me with my "bunny ears" ...This was taken well after Easter! I'm playing in my exersaucer!

Me and Daddy...chillin' at the pool. This was my first time in the water...I didn't like it! It was too cold!

Me and my brothers with my cousins!

In order going clockwise beginning with me: Matthew, Rachel, Andrew, Sophie and Megan.

Mommy has been real lazy lately in updating my blog. We have had my Aunt from Texas and my cousins here in town since the end of May. We manage to stay busy and I manage to not get my nap(s) in. Don't you think that they would realize that I need to sleep? I'm a growing little girl! I think that I'm working on getting a tooth. We try to go to the pool every day. I don't get in all the time, Mommy doesn't like to get in the water much. I have to do that with Daddy. I'm still sleeping real well, don't like a bottle, haven't started eating cereal, fruits/bvegetables yet. I can roll in both directions and try my hardest to do my "ab crunches". I think that I'll be sitting up real soon without help.

Hugs and love to all!

Love,

Mary Margaret

Happy Mother's Day...

Daddy was taking crazy pictures of me today...guess he thought I was pretty cute here!

Nothing like holding onto Daddy...My what big hands he has! Something to protect me with!

That's me...beautiful Mary Margaret!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mommies, grandma's and Godmothers out there! Daddy made mommy a real special lunch today--grilled chicken & shrimp, grilled vegetables and twice baked potatoe. We topped it off with Key Lime pie! Yummy!

We love you all!

Another weekend

Look at me and what Daddy got for me...it's a fun exersaucer! Mommy put me in there this morning. I think it's pretty cool! There are so many things for me to do!

That's me just hanging out with my Texas cousins. Mommy and I went to TX to see my cousin's 1st Communion over the weekend. It was my first time on a plane~it was pretty fun. Mommy let me eat a whole bunch while we were flying. I slept real well at night but didn't nap so well in the afternoon...my cousin Megan took a babysitting class so she really liked to help watch and play with me.

Hanging out with my mama!

Daddy was pretty wild tonight and put my new shades on me...I'm all ready for the bright sun in Kansas! Mommy will make sure to put those in the diaper bag!

Look at me!

Look at what I can do now. I hold my head way up high! I rolled over just once the other day. I haven't done it again, but I sure do try hard! I went to Chuck E. Cheese with my brothers on Thursday. We went to go play with some of their friends. I was an angel.

I have started to make "raspberries" and I will follow you with my eyes now. I have changed my nap schedule just a bit, but I still sleep enough to let Mommy do a little work at home.

I have started sleeping through the night. I usually wake up between 4-6am and will go back to sleep until Mommy has to take the boys to school.

I love you all!

Wednesday

Good morning!

Mommy dressed me a new outfit today. I don't have a simple white sweater so I suppose Mommy and I will have to go shopping!

Look how I am growing! "Like a weed" I hear Mommy and Daddy say. I like to stare at people's faces now. Won't you send a picture of you so we can put it on our family wall??? My eyes have darkened some but they still are not brown. I think that I might have hazel eyes. I also slobber all over myself. I still haven't mastered getting one particular finger in my mouth so I sometimes have 3 fingers in my mouth, or the side of my hand...I don't know if I'm working on getting new teeth, but I sure do slobber!

Just me chilling out at the Farmstead--my Mommy took me and my brothers to see the new baby goats, piggies, duckies and fish! I didn't really see a whole lot, I think I fell asleep for a bit.

My brothers had a good time, the got to play for a while.

Me and my brothers-Andrew said that I'm growing! He said that I was heavy!

I'm with the Easter Bunny...don't I look so pretty? My Aunt Kathy from Arizona sent me this real pretty dress! I cried when Daddy tried to take my picture earlier. I wasn't afraid of the bunny at all.

Happy Easter!

What a beautiful day...we went to church real early today then we went for breakfast...the Easter Bunny came to the house last night while we all slept. I think we're going to have an Easter egg hunt a little later today.

That's me in my capri pants...it is 83 degrees (so far) so Mommy pulled out something cool for me to wear.

Mommy took this picture of me and my big sisters before they went off to school.

Easter is 3 days away! I can't wait to see the Easter Bunny! My first Easter and I'm so blessed to be here with all of my family!

Mommy took my brothers and me to the see the Easter Bunny. I was a really good girl. Next year might be a different story. I'm not real sure who this Easter Bunny is but I've been told that he brings really cool treats...

This is my profile...what do you think? Do you think that I look like my Daddy??

I'm going to go see the Easter Bunny!

I'm all ready to go for my first trip to see the Easter Bunny. My brothers are out of school today so we're going to make a trip to the mall. Mommy gave me a bath so I smell so sweet and she dressed me in my Easter dress so I'll be so cute too!

If Mommy is able to take her own picture of me and the Easter Bunny she'll put a picture here for you.

I miss you all! Love you lots!

Look at me~It's my birthday!

Hi! It's just me. I was born 12 weeks ago today. I still don't do a whole lot but I have found my fingers and my hands-I like to watch them wiggle; I'm learning how to suck on my fingers/hand...haven't figured out how to get my thumb in my mouth; I try to talk to Mommy and Daddy-it's funny when they talk back to me! I have a pretty good routine down now. I still wake up at least once a night so I can eat but I go back to sleep real quickly. I can't wait for the weather to stay nice and warm so I can wear my new dresses. I love to smile...I hope that I can see you soon so I can show you my smile! I love you! xxooxxoxoxoxoxox

Aren't I cute? Daddy draped my burp rag on head...I'm part of the new baby gang--the BABLING BABIES!

Grandma, Aunt Martha, Uncle Lenny and my cousin came to visit me and my family yesterday. I don't know when I'll see Grandma again she's getting ready to leave for her "2nd home". I bet the next time she sees me I'll be sitting up and maybe even crawling by then!

I've been a really good baby for my parents~or at least that's what I hear them tell other people!

I love you!
