Last weekend was my very first Lollapeelooza! Ever since 2001, Mommy and Daddy used to throw a party every year "just because" -- a crawfish boil, Roughriders party deck, FC Dallas party, boat on the lake, etc -- but they took some time off to move to a new house and (more importantly) have me. This year, they had a good excuse to have a get together because Mommy won the Dreyers Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute (yes, again), also known as ICE CREAM FOR 100 PEOPLE! We had 12 cartons of ice cream and 4 boxes of ice cream bars delivered to our house that we knew we needed to get out of the house fast.
Mommy and Daddy decided to throw our ice cream party at the community center in the neighborhood. They ordered fajitas, had a bounce house, and invited lots of friends! Nai-Nai and Ye-Ye were a HUGE help getting ready and playing with me; Nai-Nai even took me in the bounce house because she was convinced I wanted to get in (although I'm pretty sure she was the one that wanted to play). :) It was lots of fun, but I sure was pooped afterwards. I can't wait until the next one, but no promises that we'll have that much ice cream again! The only bad thing was that Mommy and Daddy were so busy having fun, they forgot to take pictures! Boooo ...
I'm becoming very good at creeping around. Just using my arms, I can easily make it across the room! Just wait until these legs kick into gear. My newest thing is that I'm started to prop up on all fours and rock. Unfortunately, since my limbs don't seem to coordinate well together to move me forward, I end up doing a face plant more than anything else, but I like it!
My newest food is potatoes. Mommy and Daddy actually introduced it to me so that I could have a finger food to feed myself because I love to help you feed me. After my sweet potato incident, Mommy was a tiny bit worried (how could a daughter of hers not eat potatoes?!), but I like 'em even if they were just boiled. I'm not great at actually getting it in my mouth, but I'm pretty good smushing it in the general vicinity.
Stuff that I forgot to mention before ... I got to meet my new friend Evan Cherie Morse a couple of weeks ago. Her mommy and my mommy used to work together and would joke about raising babies at the same time, and now they are! She sure was cute, but it's hard to believe that I used to be that small. I also got to encounter doggies for the first time at their place. I didn't like it at first (I thought I was in charge of all the licking and drooling!), but then it was kind of fun. Zoe was especially intriguing because she's so much littler than me! I still haven't taken an actual bath in the ducky tub that Kaylie bought me, but I definitely like sitting in it and pretending that I'm floating.
Oh, yes. July album has been updated with more pics. Can you believe it's August already?!
