While we waited for the parade to begin, Blair and Boga began scheming how they too could join the procession!
Momma and Blair shared some parade kisses!
I do believe all in all she quite liked the parade!
We love our veggies!
Now Ms. Independent isn't content unless she gets to do it herself. She loved chewing on her spoon and holding it herself.
At that time if you'd have told us the following year we'd be bringing our daughter there we would have laughed at you but.... never say never I guess...
We had a great time having a picnic at the falls and really enjoyed the pretty weather!
The weekend before Halloween, we piled up and went on a trip to Burt's Pumpkin Patch! We had so much fun taking Blair there for the first time, and it was also special for me and Russell because a year before I was taking him there for the first time on our Honeymoon!
We had a blast going through all the pumpkins and Pawpaw even took us on a hayride!
We had alot of fun on this day, and i have the feeling Burt's will be a place that we will continue to visit every year!
Our friend Kim is so talented and had the idea to start off our Halloween celebration getting her picture made in this Princess dress she made Blair! It was adorable!
Blair also had a Pumpkin costume which as you can see she found quite humorous! Lol
For our actually Halloween attire we settled on a cute puppy costume... Russell and I had the cutest puppy ever!
At our 2 month Dr.'s appointment, Dr. Barnwell said that we would probably begin Blair on cereal at her 4 month appointment. Mommy and Daddy began after that appointment giving her one cereal bottle at night time and since that is her favorite we thought maybe she'd like it by spoon and decided to go ahead and give it a whirl.
It took a minuet, and a few fingers to decide if she liked it...
After a few more bites she couldn't get enough and began sticking her hands in the bowl to feed herself!
I guess she decided Mommy was to slow and grabbed the spoon herself!
All in all it was a success! By the end Mommy and baby were covered in cereal, and loving every minuet!
I've been reading up and learned that reading to them, though they can't understand the words, helps their cognitive growth. So I pulled out our Disney book and began reading The Jungle Book. As I'm reading Blair begins "Talking" along with me. I glanced down at her and what do I see? Ms. Blair is sitting up leaned forward "talking to the pictures!
Daddy and Momma couldn't be happier she is at the beginning of such a huge milestone at such a young age! (3 Months and a Week old!) We tried her out on the floor later in the day and she is trying so hard to get the hang of this sitting up thing. She can make it about 30 seconds before ending up in a turtle like position, but she thinks it's hilarious to fall over!
Blair has learned to love the bath tub! She splashes around and even pumps her feet as if she were a frog! She got in the "big girl" tub with Mommy this week for the first time and had the best time floating on her back and "doggy paddling"!
Blair was SO excited to go to the zoo!
This morning, Sept 12, 2009, Russell, Grandma, PawPaw, Auntie Kimmy,Blair, and myself traveled to the zoo! We had such a great time!
She was actually really intrested in looking at the exhibits!
Blair loved the Monkey exhibits! I think because I call her my "little Monk Monk"! We found this Gorilla that sleeps like her!
