My 1st Trip to the Zoo!

My Aunt Nichie and Mom took me to the zoo for the first time on Friday September 29th. On the way there I chatted back and forth like I knew what Mom was telling me we would see. We met some friends from church at the front. I had a lot of fun having everyone carry me. I took a quick nap in my stroller though. I really liked seeing the waterfall in the bird house. I saw lots of monkeys and the penguins. I did Not like the smell of the elephant house. I made Mom take me out for some clean air. Mostly I liked to see all of the other children.

I can grab my toes!

I found my toes on wednesday without Mommy and Daddy's help. Now that I know they are on my feet I grab them and hold them. I can laugh too. When Daddy and I were playing he gave me kisses on my belly and it made me laugh a big laugh (not just a giggle). since I am so good at grabbing things now I decided to go for one of those barking animals that are always around. Tator didn't think it was such a good idea. He yelped and ran away. I also like to hold on to Mommy's hair like it's a rope.

What's new this week with Lola

Our Lola doll is doing some new activities. For one thing she is holding herself up so good that we found a simple walker for her to scoot around the kitchen. (She's only moving a few inches now but she is a quick learner.) She likes it a lot better than her bouncy chair. At night she is really sleeping well. She has been feeding at around midnight or one then sleeping until 7 or 7:30. Another new thing she has been up to is chewing on her fingers and slobbering all down her chin. She doesn't really like to chew on her chew toys yet, but she is chewing on her little pink doll. The pink doll is her favorite toy right now to have. She will grab on to it and hold it- really sweet. When she is laying on the floor now she will do mini set ups and lift her feet. She's still talking up a storm at times especially first thing in the morning. Which is one of the best ways to wake up in the morning to hear your daughter jabbering..

Lola's Baptism 9-17--06

We are so proud of Lola. She was Baptized on Sunday morning. So many of our friends came to help make the day extra special. We look forward to teaching Lola all about the Bible and her heavenly Father who loves her too. "Surely goodnes and love will follow me all the days of my life." Psalm 23:6.What a joyous day for us.

Happy Birthday Aunt Nichie!

I was so lucky this week to spend time with my Aunt Nichie while Daddy had some meetings. She is teaching me how to wink. And I am teaching her how to 'read' my story books. On Friday it was my Aunt Nichie's Birthday. Mom made her a cake - her and Grandma came over for dinner.

Three Months

Our Lola Doll is now twelve weeks! She is always trying to sit up. She eats about 5-6 oz at a feeding and weighs about 12 lbs. She is really a sweet baby. She is wearing mostly 3 month size clothes. Even though she slept through the night one night she is still waking up at around midnight to feed - hey one time is okay with mommy. She has been drooling some and chewing on her knuckles. We love listening to her jabber. She has been saying more than goo. She really likes to talk to the fish in the morning. She still has blue eyes too. We are going to have her baptized on Sunday.

Sunday

So Sunday Mom and I went to church on time by ourselves this morning. I met some new people today too. Then we had some lunch. Me and mom took a nap and then my Aunt Nichie came to visit. I hung out with her while Mommy mowed the yard. Tomorrow my brother and Daddy come home from Kentucky.
