I'm 8 Months Old!

The 8th month brought "army crawling", standing holding onto things, pulling up on some things, combining consonant sounds, eating finger foods, and feeding self. No teeth yet, though!

Independence Day!!

Grandma and Grandpa O'Neill came down to celebrate the 4th of July with me, Mommy, and Daddy. Gramma and Grampa Bryant provided my attire : ) I had fun at the neighborhood picnic and even slept through the fireworks that night! The following day mommy and I went with Grandma and Grandpa to Powell Gardens. It was fun, but HOT! We all had a good time.

7 Months

I am now 7 months old! Mommy can't believe how fast I am growing. To celebrate my "birthday" and mommy and daddy's anniversary we went to the zoo. I loved being outside and walking around, but wasn't too interested in the animals yet. I gave mommy and daddy a great anniversary present...I started talking! So far, I'm just saying "dada" and "dodo".

I once again am sick around my monthly "birthday". This time the doctor thinks it's rotovirus, even though I have been vaccinated for it. The vaccine likely lessened the severity of the virus, though. I am still working on getting over it.

Here are some pictures from the past week!

Pool Fun!

My first time "swimming" (and hanging out in my cover up)!

Professional Picture and Weekend Pictures

Mommy got the "teaser" picture that I had taken last week. Tomorrow she will go and view them all and then pick out what she wants. I personally think I look great ; )


Here are some other pictures from the "wedding weekend" as well. Silly mommy forgot to take pictures, so there aren't very many, and most of them came from Gramma.

I'm Sitting Up!

Yep, that's right, I'm sitting all by myself!!! I've found that it's a lot more fun to play with toys now that I don't have to be laying on my back all the time.





Now I just have to figure out this crawling thing....



Oh, and I lost a little weight from being sick with Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. Yuck! Those sores in my throat sure hurt! Oh well, I'm back to eating normal again so I should gain the weight back quickly!

Woo Hoo...I'm 6 Months Old!!

Well, I made it half a year so far out in this big world! Of course, I got to celebrate my 6 month birthday with a 102.5 degree fever and have been dripping buckets of saliva and seem to have the the beginning of a mood disorder....hmmmm....maybe teething? I went to the doctor on Friday for my fever and I was 15 lbs. 12 oz, but I will have my "official" weigh in, length check and shots on Monday. Here's some recent pictures of me (notice my new sleep position)!
