Please Take a Seat

Weebles wobble and they do fall down!  We've mastered sitting up on our own this week!

Erin has been trying to do it for a while now, but it looks like she figured it out.  She needs help getting into the sitting position, but when you let go of her she can sit on her own for a while.  Something just out of eye range will get her attention and she'll lose her balance and roll right over. 

She will sit there and reach for toys or play with her feet.  It's just too cute.

I took a photography class to get better acquainted with my new camera, but I wasn't able to use any of my new knowledge with these pics of Erin.  She was rolling and flopping too much.  More to come as I perfect my shooting skills!  So, ignore the photography work here and concentrate more on the subject.

Sitting up all by myself!

 Falling over all by myself!

 

 Let's try this again...

As you can see, Erin is a drooling monster now.  The front of her clothes stay soaking wet.  Tommy was playing with her the other day and she kept reaching out with her slobbery hands and grabbing his nose.  He was the first one to comment that he can't believe that didn't totally gross him out, but it didn't bother him at all.  I was thinking it before he said it, but didn't want to say it out loud.  He is soooo particular and OCD.  I still can't believe the things that baby girl can get him to do!!  (Which is all really strange when you think about the fact that he'll field dress a deer or pick up snakes or bugs with his bare hands but don't even think about going near him with some slobber or a booger!)



Sandy Report

We had an appointment with the Cardiologist today.  It was a follow up to her echocardiogram last week.  They are looking to see if they can pinpoint where the stroke originated.

She got good results but they're still inconclusive.  He said she has minor plaque build up in her Aorta, but the muscle itself looks good.  He wants to do a stress test on her in May.  He's waiting to give her time to recover from some of the stroke side effects.

All in all, a good report.

Now for me...

I've had the worst stomach virus I've ever had.  It woke me up Sunday night with fever, chills and vomiting.  Needless to say, it was a rough night.  My fever broke yesterday but I'm still trying to recover.  Wow.  I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy!  I think the worst part of it was that I quarantined myself from Mom and Erin.  It's the first time I've gone this long without holding or kissing on Erin.  It was so hard!!!  She was in the other room and I slept pretty much non-stop, but I missed her so much!

High Cotton

Some of you may have seen these pictures on Facebook.  Tommy bought Erin some Aggie clothes a while back.  We've worn a couple of them but had to break them out tonight in honor of the Cotton Bowl. 

The game didn't end so well for Daddy's Ags but Erin sure looked cute cheering them on.



Mommy's New Camera

Mommy got her new camera yesterday.  I charged the battery and played with it without taking any pictures.  I had to wait for Erin to wake up for her last feeding.  My Daddy insisted that the first pictures taken with my Christmas present be of Erin.

Here's what we got:

Daddy Makes Me Laugh

Tonight, Pawpaw gave Erin her bath.  While she was getting ready for her dip in the tub, her Daddy was on the bed with them.  Erin has started giggling really loudly now when tempted.  Her Daddy has been blowing on her belly to make her laugh.  I had to get the camera for this.

If this video doesn't make you smile, nothing will!
