Poolside

The other day I got to go to the pool for the first time with Sawyer!! Mom was scared I wouldn't like the cold water, but I ended up surprising her! I loved it! At first I was very serious, but after I got a grip on my surroundings, it was all fun and games. I loved when Mom swam with me while she blew bubbles in the water, splashing the water with my hands, and kicking my feet at the same time (Mom swears I am going to be a butterflyer)!

Getting all lubed up!

Almost ready!

Sawyer, I love your gear!

I decided to go with the one-piece this year!

Mom putting yet more sunscreen on me!

Finally in the water!

Amazed with this huge bathtub

Let's come back again soon!

A few weeks ago my Auntie Amanda came down from Chicago. It was the first time I had seen her since Christmas (believe it or not)! We had a wonderful time, and as always, the visit went by way too fast! Luckily, in a few weeks, my family and I are flying up there to visit all of 'Chicago'. I can't wait to meet everyone! Mom is preparing me by reading 'Good Night Chicago' everyday. I can't wait. Stay posted~my next post will be from the 'Windy City'!

Take me, I'm yours!


Upside down baby!

Aunt Amanda and I

I love playing on Grandma and Grandpa Scooter's bed

Still crawling (and getting better at it)!

Summer 2009 Has Officially Begun!

What's new?! Well, I'm officially 'on the move'! I'm crawling here, there, and everywhere. Even though I'm not using my legs too much, I use the 'wounded soldier crawl' to get everywhere I want to go. My mom and dad purchased some big, colorful tiles to go in the living room so I can have a bunch of room to practice. They are pretty cool, but I thought the big box they came in was even better!

Here I come!

Watch out!

Baby in a box!

Peek-a-boo!

Such a happy little girl!

Then, last weekend we came into Atlanta for a visit. While there, we got to go to the Highlands festival. We had a great time. I really enjoyed the music, and Mom and Grandma liked looking at all the arts and crafts. It was also fun to see my Uncle Mike!

Grandpa Scooter, I said look at the camera!

Feels like summertime!

Cheese!

So silly, Uncle Mike

Taking a break for a ba-ba

Hanging out with the boys

1/2 A Year and Counting!

I am a little over six months old now! How time flies! Recently, I just went to the doctor for my six month check up. I now weigh 19 pounds, 12 ounces and am 27 inches long. I'm still hanging in there and was in the 95th percentile in both weight and height again. Mommy and Daddy hope I have some 'Uncle Goober genes'! I am now sitting up all by myself and love it! I play, play, play all day. Even though I wish I could, I'm not crawling yet. When I'm on my tummy, I mainly just flail my arms and legs around at the same time. Sometimes I scooch but I go backwards! Oh well. I'm also eating like a little piglet. I love pretty much everything (from vegetable risotto with cheese to strawberry-banana granola). Yummy!

Ready, GO!

Eyes are still blue as can be!

I'm goin' to get you!

Learning new things is so fun~like trying my sippy cup!

Daddy's little Brave (no wonder people think I'm a little boy)!

Where's Drew?!

Recently, we just remodeled our kitchen. I really enjoyed playing in all the new cabinets before the counter top went down!!

Putting me out with the trash

Where's Drew?!

Here I am!

Up to no good!

So much fun!

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter everyone! Here are a few Easter pictures for you to enjoy of my friends and me!

I spy something....yellow!

Chirp, chirp!

These are the most interesting creatures!

This isn't Noah's Ark! What are you doing in here baby chicks?!

Sweet Peyton

Ella, such a great pose!

Uncle Matt, you need to get Ella some baby chicks!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Oh wow!

Ya'll still there?

Stay right there now!

Rice Cereal: Take Two

Big Bite, Big Bite

Yummy!

Is there more in that bowl?

That was sure good! When do we eat again!?

Watch me eat like a big girl!

Spring Fever

I am almost 5 months old! Can ya'll believe it!? Anyway, I have to tell you, a lot has been going on at the Martin house! I know in my last post I said that I would never eat that rice cereal again, but I guess I should never say never! We tried again the other day, and would you believe, it was actually pretty good. Also, I am now mobile! I love spending all day rolling over. I can flip from my back to my tummy all day long, but I'm still not liking being on my tummy so much! I like posing like 'Superwoman', but that gets boring quick (and I let Mom know)! I've also been enjoying hanging out with all my girls (I love you too, Sawyer)! I love watching my cousin Mallory. I can't help but smile and laugh when she's around. I've also got to play with my great friends, Ella and Peyton, some too.

Girls just want to have fun!

We should do this more often, ladies!

Such a happy girl!

Superwoman to the rescue!

Oh wow!

Well, I'd have to say that I LOVE all things spring. Now that the weather is getting nice we are all enjoying being outside a lot more. This past weekend our great friends, and my best bud, Sawyer, came to visit me. We had such fun. We got to enjoy a nice walk and even go to the Georgia baseball game.

Aunt Magill, it's been too long!

My future's so bright, I got to wear them!

Take me out to the ballgame!

Loving looking up at my man, Sawyer!
