I'm 5 months old!

Mommy says I have been a bundle of activity the last month.  I have learned to sit up (with some balancing help), to roll over (I prefer only going to the right) and I just recently started to blow lots of raspberries and say "blah, blah, blah."  Seriously.  Mimicking people is my new thing.  And I LOVE to smile and giggle.

We just got back from a great trip to Garmisch with Grandpa, so I'm sure Mom will be posting more pictures soon.  Here I am hanging out on the hotel balcony.

I 'heart' my new bear

Grandma Sandy sure wishes she could be here with us, too.  But her and Grandpa snuck a gift in his suitcase for me.

What?!  A present for moi?!

Meet my new best friend, Roger.  My cuddly, velvety soft, valentine bear.

We've been hanging out a lot.  "What did you say, Roger?"

"Oh no she didn't!"

"You really crack me up...."

Hanging out with Roger is a blast...come closer and I'll tell you a little secret...

He doesn't even care that I drool all over him!!  HA! 

Team Grandpa

My Grandpa is here to visit!!!!  When he arrived on Wednesday,  I was all decked out in my "Team Grandpa" outfit that he sent me for Christmas.  Even after a long flight, he hung out with me ALL day.

Since he got here, we've been cuddling...

Laughing....

And laughing some more!

He sure knows how to make me giggle!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ooooo!  What's this?!?!  It's a Valentine from Mommy!

 It tried EVERYTHING to get it open.

But nothing seemed to work...so then I tried my death grip...

...and when that didn't work, I tried ripping it open with my...um...gums...

I even tried to solicit Pepper's help...

But then I realized...Mommy could do it for me!  Silly me.

She's my Valentine.  :)

Sitting Up

I'm getting pretty good at sitting up these days!  I still tip over now and then, but that's fun, too.

I've also learned to roll over onto my back AND to my tummy!  But never on cue of course, so Mommy has yet to capture it on camera.

(Mom couldn't choose which picture to post - they all make her smile)
