My two teeth require a very thorough cleaning.

We are in Ava's crib playing with some of the dolls my gammy gave us for Christmas. Okay, maybe Ava is playing with them, and I am "chewing" them, ha ha.

This is 3 weeks ago, but too cute to not post at my blog! Sweet potatoes!

Laughing at mommy :) Yesterday was Ava's 22 month birthday, today is my 6 months, and tomorrow is daddy's 29th birthday (tee hee) and we are having a little get-together for him. I will get to see my birth mommy Val and gammy Brenda and grandpa Gerry too, they are stopping by!

I am quite drooly these days, because I have 2 new teeth! They are my bottom ones, and they are very beautiful. I love using them on people's fingers and on my toys. For the past 3 days I have been a very cheerful girl, but for the 2.5 weeks prior to that I was not my usual self. Not only were my teeth pushing through, but I was a little sick (I was fighting off the stomach flu that ran through our family and also had Fifth Disease). It feels so good to be "me" again! (And mommy is very happy to have me back too!)

I turn *6 months old* today! For my half birthday, my mommy let me take my first real bath. Oh, I am so proud! I was hesitant for 10 seconds or so, and then loved loved loved it. I discovered how to splash the water with my palms within the first minute. And then I discovered my feeties under water (see me playing with them?).

Of course my sissie had to join in too! Here she is showing me how to do "splish splashy". I had already figured it out, but I love it when she shows me things, so I look up adoringly at her.

My grand-dad plays with me when he and Sue come for a visit. This time they brought tons of Christmas presents!

I probably am slowly approaching 18-19 pounds now, I am so big! I am slowing down with my eating/drinking, though, so my growth spurt may be over for the moment. My mommy's back would like that very, very much :)

My daddy had vacation for almost 2 weeks! We spent so much time together, it was so nice :)

The four of us at ZooAmerica in Hershey

Christmas morning - my Omi (mommy's mom) and I are laughing...

When my auntie was here 2 weeks ago we went to Hersheypark and Chocolateworld. My auntie carried me everywhere and I was so snuggly I took naps on her too.

Here I am playing with Rian from our playgroup. He is around my age. I think my sissie is looking on to make sure he is gentle with me - "no-no eyes" (don't touch the eyes)!
