Week 50...Getting closer to 1 year old!

Lots of action this week with my birthday getting close. Mommy and Daddy got the house put back together and I got to help make it all messy again. Mommy got me a tick-tock clock for my room that I can look at all the time. We got to go to the library this week and listen to some songs and see some cool stuffed animals. I even saw my friend from the Annie's there! I am kind of sad this week because I am no longer with my long time pal, the infant car seat. Mommy and Daddy installed the new big girl car seat last weekend. My first trip in it did not go so well. I am kind of used to it now though. My teeth seem to be coming in very fast. I have three at the bottom with one more coming in. The top has 3 with another one coming in as well. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone at my first birthday party. Oh yeah, there was a problem with my videos on here but they have fixed that now.

Week 49...Had so much fun I passed out!

What a week! When I was sitting on the floor this week, I lost my balance and fell and hit my head. I have done this many, many times but this time it was close to bedtime so I got mad. When I get mad I hold my breath and don't cry. Well, I guess I held it a little too long because I passed out for a second. Mommy and Daddy were really scared, but I bounced back in a few minutes and was on the couch bouncing around and playing. Next time I think I will just go ahead and cry! I have started using my walkers but I like to push them around while standing on my knees. There is a funny video of me doing that this week. I got to spend a lot of time with daddy this weekend while mommy was at some meetings. Daddy put me to bed on Friday night and played with me during the day on Saturday. On Saturday night I got to play with my friend Ashley. Her mommy came to visit my mommy. We had a fun time. I have learned that I am pretty possessive of my toys! Daddy also found another tooth in my mouth! I have only had 2 on the bottom since I was 6 months old, but now, they have a friend! Overall it was a great week. Here I am kneeling along! HA HA Get it? Baby Scientist? How about mad scientist :-) Finally, I am free of this thing called the crib! Me and my pal! Aunt Heather reading to us! My unique way of walking!

Week 48....Stupid Teeth Again!

I am close to being 1 years old! This week has been good except for my silly teeth. I got so frustrated that I started chewing on my crib! I got a surprise visit from Nana and Papa Frankenberg. I woke up just in time to see them and play a little bit before they left. I really appreciated them coming to see me. I am now eating solid food. No more pureed foods for me, I am becoming a big girl now. I love noodles and spaghetti sauce as well as sweet potatoes. Sometimes I eat my green beans and peas but not all the time. I also love bananas and yogurt. Mommy and Daddy set up a bunch of pillows on the ground that I love to jump around on. I also love bouncing on the couch and bed. I am looking forward to next month and my first birthday party, it should be a lot of fun! The invitations went out this week!
Ahhh, this makes my teeth feel better-it's like a mouthguard!Me in my big girl clothes!Yep, I climbed in my basket of animals all by myself.Papa Frankenberg and me!Nana Frankenberg and me!Laughing with Daddy!

Week 47...and extended vacation!

Brrrrr, it is very cold outside! Mommy and Daddy both had snow days this past week so we got to spend a lot more time together. We went to Babies R Us and the Carter outlet store. Mommy was so excited about all the clothes they had there for me. I got a new car seat but we have not put it in the car yet because of the weather. I have found that I love to bounce on the couch and also try to say "tick, tock clock". I am now cruising around the couches which is a lot of fun. I also am trying to stand on my own but usually fall down. I got some new shoes and I love them. We are all happy and just trying to stay warm! Me and daddy watching the last Chiefs game of the year! Trying to get up on the couch over daddy! Mommy making sure my new shoes fit...can you tell I am tired? My new shoes! They are so cute! Daddy went and saw Avatar and brought me back the glasses..how do I look? Getting ready to teach Quake how to read!
Ellies new shoes!

Week 46...Happy New Year!

Hi! This has been such a fun week! Mommy and I spent some time with her family and I got to do a lot of playing and laughing. My new Christmas toys are lots of fun. Daddy came back on New Year's Eve and it was so nice to have him home. I've been waking up a lot at night and mommy or daddy have to come in to lay me back down. I think we are all tired. Everyone goes back to work tomorrow, so I get to see my friends at Annie's!
I am starting to eat a few new things now...Zweiback toast, Cheerios, and yum, yum-chicken! I decided to stand up for the first time by myself while helping daddy. I think I surprised everyone-including myself. Here I am squatting back down. Mommy thought it would be cute to put me and all of my stuffed animals in a laundry basket-yeah, right! I still love to smile!Some of my toys make music, and I just can't help but boogie down!
I have so much to say and I want to scream it at the top of my lungs!
