Sunshine!!

So it is 85 degrees here today...can you believe it!! It was SO nice not to have to get all bundled up to come home today. Mommy snuck out of work a couple hours early today and came to get me!! I was pretty excited...but I don't think I was quite as excited as mommy.


Then we came home and there are MORE chickens in my basement!! 21 new baby chickens came today - these ones are MUCH smaller than the ones that we already have. So daddy moved the older ones outside to their coop and put the new ones in the brooder box. They are REALLY cute. 10 of them are yellow and 11 are black and white and yellow. I stared at them for a little bit - they were making noises at me!


Well Erin and Jake come to visit us in 4 days!!! YAY



Here is a picture of me playing in my exersaucer...it's pretty fun - I have a lot of things to look at and grab!!

Cereal!!!

So mommy and daddy decided that I was showing ALL the signs that I was ready to start trying some cereal. I can...

  • Sit while supported
  • Follow mommy and daddy all over the room with my eyes
  • Hold my head up really good
  • Grasp things with my hand
  • Roll over
  • Push my chest off the floor with my arms
And there are many more...I am so smart we can't list ALL of my accomplishments here!


I have been getting cereal in my bottles for a while now. My reflux hasn't been bothering me (thanks to my medicine) but I still spit up A LOT! So mommy tried to feed me some cereal from the spoon instead of a bottle and guess what...

it was REALLY good! OK I admit I still kind of make a mess...but I am doing so good! I like to open my mouth when mommy brings the spoon closer. Sometimes she can't get it to me fast enough and I pull my bib or my cloth up and stick that in my mouth instead cause I am just so excited!

Well I am REALLY looking forward to meet my Auntie Erin and Cousin Jacob...but I am really sad that I won't be able to meet Uncle Ben :o( I can't wait till Tuesday!! YAY

Love, CJ

P.S. Auntie Er I will try my best to stay awake for you...but I'm not making any promises!

Happy Easter

( Look at my face...my friend Maverick thought I would really like some of his blueberries!)


OK - so mommy can admit...it has been a long time since she has posted anything! (I'm really sorry for that everyone) I just seem to take up all of mommy's time! Here are some good pictures for you though - thanks to Aunt C!
So what has happened since mommy posted last.....I have been talking up a storm lately - no one seems to understand me, but I do LOVE to talk! Especially to my favorite dog - on my play mat. I LOVE the songs that he sings...and I even love when mommy sings those songs to me!
Mommy and Daddy got me a new car last night ;o) I knew I had them wrapped around my little pinkie but WOW hehe
Also last night - I sucked on my thumb for the first time!!! I think maybe I am working on a couple teeth, because I have been drooling A LOT...and sticking EVERYTHING in my mouth. Well last night I found my thumb and I sucked and sucked and sucked but nothing came out! Another one of my favorite things to do is lick everything. I am figuring out different textures and tastes all the time with this crazy tongue - I just can't keep it in my mouth!
Well this weekend for Easter we are going to Gramma Jojo's for the afternoon, and then Mommy is cooking dinner. Great Gramm bought me a very pretty Easter dress! I am so excited to wear it :o) I also overheard mommy and Aunt C talking about planning an annual Easter Egg Hunt! WOW I can't wait till I am big enough to walk and look for Easter eggs!!!

Happy Easter everyone :o)

Lots of Love
CJ
