A Treat For Larry

I finished off the Breyers French Vanilla last night and let Lolly lick the container. She was in doggy heaven. I think she licked it out for about 20 mins until eventually she had to eat some of the cardboard to get all the ice cream out. Happy Labor Day weekend Lolly!!

Hmm... Whose Bed is this Anyway?

Jeryn decided to try out Lolly's bed this morning. Lolly wasn't too sure about this as you can see. I don't think she wanted to share her bed.

Maaa Maaa Mom...

Jeryn is saying her first words...guess who takes good care of her?

This Week...

I sure am getting taller in my "jumpy"

Peek-a-boo!

I see you!

Jeryn has started to pull herself up a bit. Today she was brave and pulled herself up on her toy basket in the living room. She was enjoying looking into the basket and also playing with Daddy's birthday balloon.

Olympian?

I think we have been watching too many gymnastics this past week. Jeryn has discovered her own uneven bars. You go girl!

Awww!

I think every baby sleeps like this at one time or another. Boy, it just doesn't get any sweeter than this does it? It has been 8 1/2 months now since Jeryn was born and I really do love her more every day. What a precious gift she has been.

Good Parenting?

I guess we should have read the warning before letting her play in the box?

Fran the Deer?

Today, we went to Long Hunter State Park to check it out.  It's only 30 minutes from the house.

On our hike around the lake, we met a new friend.  We named her Fran.  

Check out this clip of her stopping by to introduce herself.  We didn't shake hooves, but we were pretty close...

Lunchtime with Daddy

Josh was able to come home for lunch today. He and Jeryn discovered a fun new game with the plastic coins from her piggy bank.

Puffs

Over the past few weeks Jeryn has become increasingly more fond of her high chair. I usually get the widest smile upon putting her in for her morning or afternoon meal. This is just a few seconds of her eating some Gerber Puffs. These things are great....they dissolve in her mouth!  Fun for her to chase on her tray and a no-choke hazard for this new mommy to worry about. We also found out today that she really likes Goldfish....you know the orange fishies you still eat....even though they are supposed to be for kids! She tried some today and did really well. Her food choices are growing by the day. I think we will have to add Cheerios into the mix now. Woo Hoo!!

We Love Stickers!

I bought Jeryn some new fall clothes at Target this weekend and took advantage of the sales tax holiday here in TN. When I got home we discovered that Jeryn liked the stickers off her new clothes....better than the clothes I think!

On the move

It was my 8-month birthday on Tuesday, and I celebrated by starting to crawl...check it out:
