11 Months Old

I am almost a whole year!!! I have really matured. I even started sleeping through the night for mama and dad. I think I'll just tease them, and let them catch up on some needed sleep before I start my nightly partys again. I love going, meeting new people, going to my class, rocking and feeding my baby, and my kitty Fluffy.

My first christmas

Well I had to post about my first christmas. I saw lots of family and friends. My nana Smallwood got me my first car, and my nana Byrd got me my very own princess chair (it even has my name on it). I must have fooled Santa because he got me my first kitchen set! Its not about what you get, but about spending time with all my family and celebrating baby Jesus birth. My nana Smallwood has a nativity scene, and I love baby Jesus. I love to look at him and hug him. I also love to dance. Check out the pic of me and cousins showing off our "moves".

Cousins, cousins everywhere!

I have nine cousins total. This pic is of the couz's on my dadas side and me. It was a special pic done for our nana and papa. In age they range from Corbin, Ethan, Spencer, Samuel, me, and Jaylen. Sam is the one on the front with me. We fight and love each other like true buddy's. Also neither of us like to sit still for long, so this pic is a true miracle. The baby is the only girl cousin I have on my dadas side (for now). She just came on November 19th, so she is brand new. I don't what to do with her yet, but I'm sure we will be getting into all sorts of trouble someday. Isn't she Precious!!! On my mamas side I have four cousins. They live in Tennesee. They are Daniel, Aimee, Zachary, and David. Mama shows me lots of pictures on her e-mail. Aimee always sends me something special and girly. If she were closer, I'd ask mama if she would let her babysit me sometime. Its nice to have family!

10 Months Old

There are gates everywhere! Mama is really upseting me with these limits on my freedom. Now that I'm mobile, I need more places to explore, more things to see, and more trouble to get into!!! I enjoy bathys, my baba, getting into cabinets, helping mama "cook", and of course keeping mama and dada up at night.

My First Halloween

Well for this Halloween I decided to be a butterfly. I made my rounds from my great g-ma Coats then great step-g-ma Dixie, then nana and papa Smallwoods (where I took some pics with my cousin a.k.a. spiderman), then to nana and papa Byrds where I saw even more grandparents. It was a lovely Halloween and I made a haul. Its to bad I only have two teeth right now!!!

9 Months Old

I went to the Doc and here are my current stats- weight 20lbs 8 oz, height 28 inches. I'm getting a little sick of this crawling thing. I really want to walk. I did take 16 steps the day before my ten month b-day. I'm just very wobbly!! Here are some 9 month pics!

8 Months Old

My eight month birthday turned out to be very exciting for mama and dada. First off, that morning I told mama that I wanted dada. "Dada" I said. I think she secretly wanted me to say mama. Later that day, Dada took me with him to go run some errands. While we were driving around town I wanted his attention, "dada, dada, dada," I said!! He was very excited. When we got home, I heard him ask mama if I had "told" her anything. Mama burst out laughing. She didn't want to tell dada that I said his name first!!! Then later mama was playing the bakers man song with me, and to her surprise I patted my own cake. I clapped all by myself!!! Well, I still had one more surprise in store. Dada had a friend stay at our house so they could go to an ou game. I can't let a perfectly good audience go to waste. Mama was showing him how I usually high-center when I try to crawl. To their surprise I didn't high center at all, I just took off on all fours. They were all so excited. I am tired now!! i can't give away all my tricks at once!!!

My first trip to the fair

Mama and Dada took me to the big Hinton fair and I loved it. I rode a donkey, and I rode on the merry-go-round. I can't wait to go back next year. By then I will be big enough to ride the cars! The pic I posted even made the front page of the paper!!!

7 Months Old

Well I'm 7 months old. My current favorites include playing stinky feet, the song "Jesus Loves Day Day", and crawling on my back. I also Love my bathys!! I can get up on all fours but then I get high-centered on my belly. Oh well, its just easier for me to get where I need to go on my back!! These are some 7 month pics!!

6 Months Old- Vegas Baby!

I went to my 6 month check-up and here are my current stats-weight 18lbs and 5 oz, height 27.5 inches. At the ripe old age of 6 months I took my first trip to vegas!! I had so much fun!! I loved the light show and the clown show at Circus Circus (the hotel we stayed in). Mommy loved going to old part of town and the fountain show at the Bellagio. I also rode in my first limo. I was surprisingly very good on the flight on the way down. I got a little cranky coming back, but I got better every time our flight attendent came back to talk to me. I love seeing new people and doing new things. Just call me a Vegas Baby!!

5 Months Old

Alot of things are happening for me this month. First of all mommy and nana showed me this yellow car at k-mart. When you hit the car on something it says "ouch". Well, it was just the funniest thing ever. I had to laugh. Yes, I actually laughed at loud. Mommy and nana were so surprised. They had to buy the car for me (hey maybe I can use this laughing trick in the future)!The lady at the counter said the car wasn't in the system for some reason and couldn't sell it to me. Well after nana told them the story and after a talk with the manager they gave in and sold it!!! My emerging personality is also coming out more and more. I do not like to have things done for me. So I surprised my mom again this month by sitting up all be myself - no help from her. I really like this new view I have now!!!!

4 Months Old

I thought I needed to post to post some pics celebrating my first four months. Some current things I love include bananas, my baba, staying awake (I don't want to misas anything), watching the news people on t.v. (I think they are talking to me), and my kitty Fluffy.

3 Months Old

Well now that I'm 3 months old, I thought I better update with some pictures. Mommy's going back to work now. Thank goodness for peepaws, memas, and nannas, oh and also for our preachers wife Amy. I always have fun at my babysitters!! Its alot harder for my mommy to leave me than for me to be left. I also started class. Yes thats right, I go to class, Cradleroll class!!! I included a picture of me and my cousin Sam being very good students!!!

My first Easter

Well, I'm a little disapointed. Mommy says I'm not big enough yet to hunt eggs-what a bummer. Anyway I celebrated easter by going to church, and then going to my nana and papa Byrds house. Of course my other nana and papa counldn't celebrate Easter without me, so they came too!!! It was a fun day to share with all my cousins and nanas and papas.

First Food - NANAS YUMMY!!!

Well I sampled my first real food today. I tried bananas. Yes, yes I know I am supposed to start out on veggies, but sometimes mommy gets ahead of herself. Heres a pic to celebrate!!

2 months old

I am finally two months old. I went for my check-up and I weighed 12 pounds (thats the 75th percentile). My favorite activities are smiling, playing "I good", and waking up mommy!!! The lipstick on the top pic is from my great grandma Byrd. I LOVE kisses, which is good because I get kissed alot!!!

1 month old pics

Here are a few pictures of when I am 1 month old. I am sleeping better for mommy but still not through the night. I still love my baba and being held!!! I would also like to send a shout out to my aunt Suprina for the "Dayona" onesie and my aunt Gaylyn for my Valentine's outfit.

Here ye, here ye

These are my birth announcements. One is from the paper, and the other is the picture I sent to family and friends.
