It's a zoo out there!

nice legs!

taking a break with mommy

the biggest rhino ever!

I made my first visit to the zoo yesterday with mom and dad. It was such a beautiful day! We watched the zoo keepers feed the otters and the giraffes. We saw a giant rhino, an emperor monkey and lots of really big cats! After the zoo, we went to visit mommy and daddy's friends Angel and Jessica and I had tons of fun! Maybe I will work at the zoo someday =)

I have legs!

Strong as can be

Realizing that I have feet and toes is so much fun! Look, I can touch them!

Basketball Baby

Today I went to my first women's basketball game at Auburn University. Lucky for me it was the Lady Tigers vs. the Lady Vols. In the end, the 5th ranked Tigers beat the Vols (as you can see I supported the Vols with Mommy while Daddy wore an Auburn shirt and hat), but I wasn't disappointed because it was a sell-out crowd. It set the attendance record for a women's game at over 12,000 people and I was there to see it all (well, most of it....naptime interrupted). You can listen to my commentary by clicking here. I'd also like to give a shout out to my friend Cathy who had a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY yesterday. I am 20 weeks old this week and weighing in at around 13.5 pounds.... time flies when you are having fun.

Friends Forever

Naptime with Dad

"Cathy" and me

So, I have been hanging out with my new friend "Cathy" since around Christmas. I like to hold her, snuggle next to her when I am asleep, and even kiss her! When I hear Cathy's music, she helps me to stop crying. I think we are going to be friends for a long time and mom and dad know that she must travel with us everywhere (even if it is just to go to the store)! and... I like snuggling with dad too =)

Winter has arrived!

Why do I need a bib?

Stayin' cozy

So, even though I live in Alabama I guess I have to get used to some cold temperatures. Our low temperature for tonight is in the 20s which is quite cold for this part of the state. I have a little bit of a cough and some congestion thanks to ever changing weather (it was 75 degrees only a couple of days ago!). Tonight I had my first cereal from a spoon, but I still enjoyed my bottle from dad.

mmm mmm good

I was four months old yesterday! and I'm still starting to taste new foods and explore. It was my New Year's Resolution to sleep in my own bed like a big girl, but the past few nights I have been missing mom and dad and they just can't stand to hear me cry in there alone... so... I guess you could say I'm still working on that =) Uncle Bini gave me a dvd for Christmas that I have been watching because it has lots of pictures of my favorite animals. That's all for now!
