Isn't she so pleased?

Well, does she look happy here or what?

Well, as I was posting the "she sat up" blog, Sassy was stirring in her crib, talking away. I went in to greet her, and here is what I saw. We had to take the mobile down, it seemed like a sad milestone to reach. She loves that mobile.

She sat up

Last Friday I left the kitchen and Sass was on her back in the pack 'n' play. I came back, and she was very pleased with herself, sitting up, playing. Today I finally got to see how she performed this little feat, and again it made her so happy to do it. She sure is growing up!

Sassy is feeling better from the stomach bug she had on Saturday. I have been slower to recover, I spent most of yesterday in bed, but I feel pretty good today.

The top photo was taken yesterday. Ginny was sitting on Daddy, chatting away on the bed, playing with her stuffed Chino. The other photo is of Avery Island, home to the Tobasco plant. That is a live oak, covered in spanish moss with azaleas in bloom underneath.

Sassy has fun playing with Uncle Brian, he makes crazy sounds!

Whose baby is this?

Surely it's not mine (yes it is, and don't call me Shirley). Sassy is growing like crazy. Today her top two front teeth emerged, yes at the same time!! She has been an angel too, for two coming in at the same time. Sleeping well, with no other signs other than sucking in on her lip, kind of smacking it.

Yesterday she was sitting next to me playing with her blocks and she reached around, grabbed my shirt and pulled herself up. Standing holding my shirt with the other hand on my leg. She just grinned and grinned when I clapped for her and said YAY!!

Bill will be home from Paris tomorrow night, I hope he recognizes her :)

Moving forward & blog changes

ginny crawled forward today, just one push on each knee before she went down.. but it won't be long, a day or two, before she is moving more.. even though Daddy said not to do it while he was in Paris! Already not listening, haha.

Also, I have changed the comment option. I know people who are not blog or google users have wanted to leave comments and were unable. I finally dug around and was able to find the setting to change this. It should now be open to whomever.

Fun time

here is Sassy in her Valentine's swing! Yes, the most interesting part to her was the strap. haha. Dad made her go way too high, so I am in the video saying "not so high.. not THAT HIGH DAD". hah.

Chino has finally formed a food alliance with Sass. Here you can see that he is camped out by her high chair waiting for something to fall. Previously he has deemed this an unworthy task, but apparently sweet potatoes and corn speak to his palate.

owie

Last week Ginny got a flu booster that made her sick. Fever all of one day, then congestion and a horrible cough to follow. She is slowly on the mend- Wednesday was a disaster. She wasn't herself and woke up frequently that night. I took her in Thursday to the Dr and was told she had an infection in both ears. The Dr said she was a wonderful baby to still be so alert, happy and non-fussy. She is taking amoxicillian, so far so good. Bill and I are both allergic. I have had the humidifier running day and night and her congestion is easing up. The cough is becoming less frequent. Wish I could say the same for myself. You know things are getting bad when your car is yellow from pollen. Unfortunately it leads to bronchitis down here. ick.

laissez les bons temps rouler

new videos are on youtube and here is sass on mardi gras! and some kid dressed like a dinosaur

She's on the move!

Sass started to crawl backwards today!! She has also started getting her legs up underneath her in an attempt to move forward, but really only succeeds in scooching along on her face.
