Creepy Crawler

Well folks, I am officially a crawler!  I can't go forward yet, but I can go backwards like no other!  I've been able to go in reverse for a few days now but I would only go a little way and then stop.  Today, I've been all over the house.  This morning, Mommy sat me down in Ella's room while she was helping Ella get dressed.  By the time she noticed I was on the move, I was practically under Ella's bed.  She caught me just in time.  If she had let me keep going, she never would've been able to pull me out from under the bed.  I almost got stuck!

Mommy had to go to the doctor today so Scratchy and Gammy stayed with us while she was gone.  I scooted all over family room.  They thought it was so funny that I was going backwards!  I have also recently discovered singing.  I will sing notes if I hear Mommy singing.  Mommy will have to record it sometime and post it for everyone to see.  I'm just a little songbird!  I have also decided that I don't like being away from Ella.  If she's playing with me and runs off somewhere else, I get very upset and fuss until she comes back.  She usually feels bad and runs back to me right away.  Now I have Mommy, Daddy, and Ella wrapped around my finger.  It's so nice to be so small and have all of this power.  By the time I'm full grown I will be ruling the world!

Future Husband Options

Hello people! My mommy has been very bad and has not updated my blog for me. She managed to post a few things for Ella...I see where the love goes! Anyway, I have been a very busy baby. One reason that my blog hasn't been updated in awhile is because Mommy disappeared for a long, long time. One minute she was waking me up to feed me, the next minute I thought she was gone forever. Daddy and Ella told me that she left to go visit some of my aunts and that she would be back soon, but after 3 days, I was starting to think they were lying to me. A few times Daddy would put his phone up to my ear and I could hear her talking to me. I would get really excited and smile, thinking she was inside the house. I would look around for her, but I couldn't see her even though I could hear her talking to me! Thinking back on it, I'm starting to believe that Daddy was just playing a mean prank.

After not seeing Mommy for four whole days, Daddy said we were going to pick her up at the airport. I thought he was just tricking me again, but I actually got to see her this time! Of course, as soon as we got home, I wanted Mommy to know that vanishing without even telling me was unacceptable behavior so I completely ignored her. I wouldn't make eye contact with her and I wouldn't smile at her. I gave her the cold shoulder for at least an hour. I did give in though when it was time for me to eat. It's hard to ignore someone that has food! She was so happy to see me and was so upset when I wouldn't acknowledge her, I think she learned her lesson and won't be leaving me alone again anytime soon.

After I stopped ignoring her, Mommy told me that she met my future husband Liam Fisher. She said he is very cute and that I will be a lucky bride. A few days later I got to see Liam via Skype. He is pretty cute. I couldn't stop staring at him! Aunt Heather said that he put on 5 ounces since Mommy left! He likes to eat just like me. Already, we have so much in common. He's going to have to get bigger though...I can't be the huge one in the relationship! Anyway, I'm glad that Mommy had a good time with all of my aunts and found me a husband already but I don't like that she left me for such a long time. Next time I will make her take me with her. I'm so glad to have my mommy back :) 

I almost forgot - Liam also has a cousin, Ayo.  Ayo is 2 months older than Liam and Mommy says he is super cute too.  She and Aunt Erin thought that Ayo and I would have very cute babies.  She told me to keep my options open and that she would be happy if I married either one.  She is so silly!

Here is a picture of Mommy and Liam (Isn't he so cute??!!):

The First Birthday Present I Gave to Mommy

Thursday was my mommy's birthday.  The night before, I overheard Daddy joking around with Mommy.  He told her that for her birthday I was going to give her another mastitis infection.  (I gave Mommy 4 infections that first four months I was alive.)  Although I didn't think I would be able to give her another bout of mastitis, Daddy's joke did give me a very good idea.  That night, while everyone was asleep, I worked very hard on my birthday present for Mommy.  I concentrated and focused and thought very hard about what I wanted to accomplish.  It wasn't quite ready by morning, but I knew it would be before the end of the day.

All day Mommy kept trying to get me to crawl.  She kept telling me that crawling would be a great birthday present for her.  Little did she know I had a better present in store for her!  It was finally ready by that afternoon.  I pretended to be hungry and fussed until Mommy decided to nurse me.  I ate for a little while and then I bit down, hard!  Mommy jumped in pain, looked at me, told me to stop biting and continued to try to feed me.  She didn't get it!  So I bit down again.  This time Mommy yelped, shoved her finger in my mouth and felt around my gums.  She had found my present - my very first tooth!  She was so excited she forgot about the sharp pain.  She called Daddy right away and wrote it down in my baby book.  I just knew she would love what I made for her.  I am such a good daughter!

Mommy tried to take pictures of my jagged little tooth but I wouldn't cooperate.  She did manage to get this cute picture instead.
