Cutest thing...EVER!!

This is Jana's mommy with an exciting interruption.

This evening, Jana officially did one of the cutest things I have ever seen her do. After I got home from work I was sitting in the recliner looking at a catalog. Jana crawled over to me and was standing at me feet, I assumed she was trying to grab the catalog, but I was wrong, I lifted the catalog up to keep it out of her reach and there was the cutest thing I have ever seen. She was actually squatting down peering under the catalog at me trying to get my attention!! It was sooo adorable. Then she of course had to make it even more adorable and squeal every time I saw she was peeking at me. Eric would ask her , "Where's mommy?" and she would peek under look at me and then squeal and of course I would then crack up, it was hilarious!! Here is a small clip of the video Eric took, please excuse my appearance!!

Look at ma new shoes!

So each day I am getting closer to walking. So Grandma Sandra decided it was time to take me out and get some fancy shoes to celebrate. They are called Mooshu Trainers, my mom thinks they are the cutest things, because they squeak when you walk. Supposedly they don't just squeak for fun, it is to help babies learn to put their heels down when they walk (the lady at the store says that all babies instinctively walk on their toes.) Well I don't really care about that, I think the best part is that you can change out the bows go on the toes, so it matches what you are wearing. Isn't that the coolest thing you have ever heard? Here are some pics of me in my new shoes.

I have an important announcement to make, I recently cut my 8th tooth!! Before you know it, I will have a mouth full of teeth. I am experimenting and trying all kinds of new foods with all of these wonderful teeth I am developing, it is so much fun. I have also taken an interest to animal sounds lately and I find that cow talk is much more intriguing than human talk. Therefore when anyone around me speaks the cow language I will politely "moo" back at them. For some reason mommy & daddy have started doing a lot of "cow talking" lately. Hmmmm......
I also recently attended my 1st wedding, here is a picture of daddy and I at the wedding.

Whew....What a Weekend!

I had quite the weekend. The biggest news is I finally got to meet the J's, Great Uncle Jeff & Great Aunt Judy. They packed up everything they own in their Toyota Tacoma and drove 5700 miles from Alaska and now they are here in the great state of Texas to stay. Since they live so far away I hadn't met them yet & I finally got to meet them! Of course I wasn't shy at all, I crawled right over to Aunt Judy and immediately made goo goo eyes at Uncle Jeff.

Then Sunday, mommy, daddy and I made our first trip to Live Oak Park. Grandpa Scott, Grandma Kandee, Uncle Aaron & Averie all met us there. Come to think of it, this was my 2nd picnic, we had so much fun. After we had our picnic, the bows tossed around a football and then we went to the lake and fed the ducks & watched people fish.

Once we got home daddy watched the Cowboys play and then mommy & daddy's friends Uncle Ben & Aunt Jennifer came over with Alex. Mommy & Aunt Jenn cooked dinner while I played with Alex & Uncle Ben, it was a great end to a wonderful weekend!

My New Grill

So I figured if I was gonna brag about all my teeth, I better have at least one picture to prove it. So here it is, me cheesing it and showing off my 6 pearly whites. Hope everyone has a great weekend. By the way, did you notice something?.....it's been less than a week since my last post. I am getting better.

9 Months

Please forgive my mommy for hardly ever posting on my blog. I am so excited about the fact that I am 9 moths old now. I am crawling around really well, just like a pro. This has allowed me to cover a lot of ground and I am able to get into EVERYTHING!! I am also getting really good at pulling myself up and taking a few steps around the furniture. Needless to say my parents are quickly trying to baby proof the house. Who needs baby proofing anyway?

I had my 9 month check-up this last week, I now weigh a whopping 18lb 12oz, and I am 27 inches long!! I also just cut my 6th tooth this week, pretty soon and I won't even have to eat that nasty baby food! Dr. Davis says I am growing wonderfully! Everything is great except I have an ear infection (although my mom couldn't tell since I wasn't even acting sick) and I am now battling diarrhea and a nasty diaper rash from the antibiotics I am taking =( BUMMER!

Each day I am making new sounds and discovering new things. I can clap my hands, dance, and I even am starting to wave!! My parents love to listen to my laugh, so I try to entertain them with it as often as I can.

I am still trying to figure out the sippy cup thing, that is just weird...cold stiff coming out of a hard flat opening?? No thanks, I will take a bottle.

Time for an update!!

I have been so busy these days that I just haven't had time to keep you all in the loop. These days I enjoy inching my way over to my new found friend, Devlin the cat. Once I arrive at my destination, I prefer to grab a handful of cat hair. It doesn't matter how many times, I do it, it never seems to get old. I am also quite proud of my accomplishments, like when I pull myself up to standing position, I am so proud of myself!!

I love the water, this includes baths and swimming. I have been swimming several times this summer and am quite the little fish! Everyone says I have quite the personality, I am always smiling and happy. I am not talking yet, however I make several different sounds, including dada! Of course daddy thinks this is the best thing ever.

Mommy decided to go back to work full time (3- 12 hour shifts), so I still get to spend Sundays with daddy and now I get to spend 2 weekdays with Grandma Sandra! Although I have fun with daddy and grandma I sure do miss mommy, I have a hunch that she misses me too!

Tammy Two Teeth!!

So the big news these days is I am 6 months old now, and I have 2 teeth!! That's right, I have added 2 pearls to my already stunning smile.


I am growing like you wouldn't believe. My mommy and daddy say I will be crawling any day now too. That means I will soon have access to all kinds of things, I can't wait! Hope you guys are enjoying your sumer as much as I am. I have already been swimming 3 times!! Talk to you all soon!
