My humble abode

Although I have been living in my room now for about 6 of my 8 months, I realized I haven't blogged about it yet. It's a cozy little room, really. I went with a color palette of brights including hot pink, lime green, yellow and baby pink. From what I hear, when Mom was about six months pregnant with me, she was in New York for work for about a week. When she came home, Dad had surprised her by painting my room a pretty green color and setting up all of my furniture. Since then they have added some fun things to my wall. My favorite thing is something my mom calls my "tree of friends". It hangs above my changing table and every time we get a new birth announcement from one of my friends, we put it on the tree. So far I have pictures of Alice, William, Miles, Bailey, Benjamin, Wyatt, and Leah that I love to look at. Other than that, I just love my bed so much. Sometimes I cry just so that someone will put me in my bed so that I can stare at the butterflies that flit around hanging from the ceiling. All in all, my room is somewhere I can go to be alone and reflect on my day and think about what great things are just around the corner.

Chompity chomp chomp!

Mom and Dad noticed a little something in my bathtime pics from last night and decided I needed to share it with everyone...I am getting my first tooth! Yep, you betcha! I will be ready for a nice juicy steak in no time...good news for Popo Vogt!

Rubber ducky, you're the one.

As far back as I can remember I have really gotten a kick out of bathtime. Okay, so that first time in the hospital was a bit of a jolt, but ever since I got home and Mom and Dad put me in my nifty bathtub with my lavender baby wash, I really look forward to bathtime. Recently, though, it has become a whole new kind of fun. Now that I can sit up in my bathtub, I can splash around and play, so I got some new toys for the bath. There are a couple of cute little turtles that float around, but my absolute favorite is my rubber ducky. He is so bright and he smiles at me constantly, not to mention that he squeaks and loves to swim around my bathtub. I love you rubber ducky!

Gig Em, Whoop, and lots of other things I have to learn to say...

Yesterday I took my first trip to College Station. It was my first Aggie Game Day and I had no idea what to expect other than Mom and Dad seemed really excited. So we started the day by getting decked out in "game day gear". I had two really cute Aggie dresses so I had to do my usual wardrobe change halfway through the day. Anyway, we got to the tailgate and guess who was there? My buddy William! That guy is everywhere I go! Anyway, we tailgated with John, Jennifer, Brandy and James and then the girls went into the game while the dads stayed out at the tailgate with the babies. Dad got lots of good pictures of me tailgating. Apparently something happened during the game that made everybody a little grumpy. I think our Aggies aren't so good this year.....Anyway, after the game, we walked around campus. Mom and Dad say there is no pressure on me to go to A&M but it seems like it would be pretty cool because apparently I would be a fourth generation Aggie!! So we walked to the Academic Building where we saw our friends Justin and Eve get engaged under the century tree! Apparently that is one of the big traditions at A&M. I kept hearing that word all day - tradition. It seems pretty nifty. So after the excitement of the game and the engagement, we were all pooped and ready to come home. All in all, it was a great day and I loved my first trip to Aggieland!

The camera is back!

I want to thank you all for being so patient with my mom and dad. You see, on the 4th of July, our Nikon camera was dropped and broken. Dad sent it off to get it fixed and in the meantime they were using an old digital camera that they had to capture all of my moments. Well, about four weeks ago, Mom was doing laundry and heard something clanking around in the dryer. She checked the dryer and found nothing, yet the clanging continued. After a second check, she gave up and just let the cycle finish. When it came time to fold the clothes, she found the source of this clanging. It was the old digital camera which Dad had left in his pocket! They still haven't decided exactly whose fault that is, but I suppose it is a moot point by now. So to make a long story short, they have not been able to take a picture of me in weeks, and I have really been annoyed by it. You see, I tend to think the camera loves me. I smile whenever I see that thing pointed at me. So Dad got the call today that the lens was back and here is my first picture back in action. Dad took it while I was playing on the floor before bedtime. So thank you all for being patient while I was on blogging hiatus, but I am back and I will be blogging it up! Stay tuned.

The 'Kinda' Crawl!

The video says it all....Check me out!

Another Month...

Well, I can't believe I've been out of the womb for 7 months now. Things are great. (except I really want to be able to crawl). I think I will in the next few weeks- trust me, as soon as I do- I'll update this blog first thing! Other than that, I can see great, scream loud, slap the water in the pool and tub, cry, giggle, eat a lot of level 2 mushy stuff, smile, and make toot noise with my mouth (and bottom:). Anyway- gotta go...dad needs the computer to set his lineup for fantasy football. BYE!
