My Sixth Month

I had so many visitors this month. It all started with my Great Aunt Jane and Great Uncle Jim who came all the way from Juneau, Alaska! I wish they could have stayed longer. I loved "talking" to them. Next, the Murrill's came to visit. The last time Mommy and Daddy saw them was when they told them Mommy was pregnant and showed them the ultrasound picture of me. I got to meet "little" Riley. If he grows up to be as tall as both his parents then Daddy is looking forward to knowing his first NBA player. Later in the month Jamie and Mike came to vist from Oceanside. Mommy has known Jamie since kindergarten and Daddy met Mike in high school. Jamie and Mike met each other when Mommy and Daddy were getting married. At the end of my sixth month, Daddy's friend Pete came to visit from Washington. Mommy and Daddy hadn't seen him for close to ten years.


One evening Mommy took me to a girls only slumber party. Mommy enjoyed the "girls only party" part of the evening while I loved the "slumber" part. The next morning I got to meet Baby James and see Baby Mykaela again. I can't believe Mykaela, who is one month older then me, is crawling already and is standing up and walking while holding onto her crib railing! Mommy is very happy that I'm not at that stage yet.
This month we found out that my doggy, Kila is very sick. She has air leaking into her chest, pushing against her lungs which makes it hard for her to breathe. We don't know how much longer she will be with us... it could be one more day or a few more years. When we found out this terrible news Mommy and Daddy took a ton of pictures with me and her. This news came right at the time when I finally started to be aware and love my doggy. I laugh and smile whenever she kisses me... of course we had to get that on video. Sorry there are so many pictures and videos; Mommy just couldn't resist.






Besides playing with Kila all month, some of my other favorite activities were watching t.v. with Daddy (especially when he let me have the remote), bouncing in my jumperoo, and biting Daddy's nose. Be sure to watch the video showing how much fun I have when Daddy lets me bite his nose. Also, I went to my first trip to My Gym and I learned how much I love to hang around.

Guess what! Every Monday I get to hang out with Lilly all day long. Gramma agreed to babysit her once a week. 2 babies?... what was she thinking?

I had a great first Halloween! Gramma made my Shrek baby costume and the whole family dressed up as the Shrek family. Daddy already looks like Shrek so he didn't really need a costume, but he wore one anyways. Mommy, Daddy, Gramma, and I started the evening trick or treating at two of our neighbor's houses and then we headed to Folsom Zoo for more candy and fun. Terri, Steve, and my Auntie Meagan met us there. We got to see a tiger, birds, and monkeys. Then we went on a ghost train ride. I wasn't scared at all!

My Fifth Month

Geez, am I turning into a big girl quickly or what?! I'm already holding my bottle all by myself and I started eating rice cereal. I didn't know what to think of the cereal at first, but now I think I like it. I also found this new noise I can make with my mouth and I love doing it all the time. When I say all the time I mean ALL THE TIME! I make the noise in my crib in the morning and I even make it while I'm eating... which makes quite a funny mess... check it out on my video.








Since I started eating I finally got my own eating chair. Check me out in my brand new high chair!



My Auntie Michelle gave me a very cute outfit and since I look so adorable wearing it in this picture, Mommy had to add it to the blog!


On Daddy's side of the family there are a ton of September birthdays so every year they have one big birthday party. Last year I was in Mommy's tummy for the excitement, but this year I got to be part of the bash. I even got to meet baby Gabby! Mommy went to Gabby's baby shower the day before I was due to be born.



One evening this month Mommy and I got to babysit little Hannah. She loved playing with me and watching me sleep on the monitor, but her favorite activity was racing Mommy down the stairs on her bottom.


Later this month I got to participate in Sunday Night Football. It was fun, but I have no idea who won because I had to go home to bed before the game ended.


Guess where else I got to go this month... Reno! They say it is really a place just for adults, but I don't think so! Daddy won me a bunch of toys at Circus Circus and there were so many bright, beautiful lights... it was perfect for a baby! I even had a blast in the hotel room! Grandma was such a bad influence... she taught me how much fun it is to jump on the bed. Daddy showed me how to play Yahtzee. I am definitely a Gendron. Check out my first attempt at a Yahtzee... not too bad! Watch both my videos, one of me talking up a storm and one of Daddy making me laugh.










Look who came to visit me this month! It's Great Auntie Sue! She didn't even get to see Mommy and Daddy... only me and Gramma Sue. I think it's funny that there are two Sue Gendrons in my family.
