My own chair

Scarlett loves to sit up so I went out and bought her the Bumbo seat. She's only had it for one day, but she's really enjoying it. She also had to endure her mommy taking pictures with that funky hat.

You want to do what with me wearing this dumb hat????

Ok, are you ready to take my picture so we can get this over with?

CHHHEEEESSE!!! Oh wait... MMMIIILLLKKK!!!!

Hanging out with Daddy AGAIN

Gerry was watching Scarlett as I was making dinner. I could hear her "talking" but couldn't see her. I asked Gerry where she was and he said "she's sitting right here next to me." It was the funniest sight to see. Notice how I'm the one with the camera as most pictures are usually with Daddy.

Four Generations

Me and Megan

Hanging out on hotel bed with cousin Megan

We took a trip to Corpus for my sister's baby shower. My older sister had a baby three weeks after Scarlett was born. We drove down together. Needless to say we only made it half way before both babies started to cry. My sister crawled to the back seat to try to calm them down, but after driving 40 more miles we finally had to stop and take them out of their car seats to "stretch" their legs.

Hanging out with Daddy

Scarlett loves hanging out with Daddy. She doesn't even give him a chance to get out of his work clothes. Here Gerry put her on the pillow and is holding her by one arm. She's supporting herself. Just shows how strong she's getting.

Hello Operator????

I wonder how this works.
Mom, how does this work?
Ohhh, well, can we call Daddy?
Yippee!!! I'm gonna call Daddy and tell him about my day and to hurry home.Daddy's on the phone. Sigh!

Beauty sleep

The things we have to do to get some beauty sleep.

Scarlett was taking a nap after church. I put her down with her headband and apparently sometime in her sleep she moved her headband and it landed over her eyes. It was so funny to see this when I went in to check on her.

Don't wake me...

Nah, nah, nah, bleh!!!
Just kidding Mommy and Daddy.

1st Valentine's

Scarlett's very first Valentine's Day and she is loved more than she knows. Just look at that face, how can you not.

Learning to reach out

Scarlett is learning to reach out and touch things. I caught her grabbing the foot of her panda bear. She loves that panda bear.

A fistful

Scarlett has discovered the joys of sucking on her fist. It seems to have replaced her pacifier (which she rarely uses - thank goodness).

And if she's not sucking on her fist, she's sucking on my hand.

First flight

Scarlett was a great traveler.

Grandma and Grandpa

We took a trip to Oklahoma this past weekend so Scarlett can finally meet her other big sister, Chelsea (see Big Sis) and Grandma and Grandpa (Gerry's parents).

Big Sis

Scarlett finally gets to meet her other big sister, Chelsea, and brother-in-law, Ryan. She enjoyed spending time with Chelsea and Ryan and can't wait to see them in March.

Getting stronger

Scarlett's tummy time is starting to pay off. She is starting to hold her head up on her own. In fact, if she had it her way, she would be off and walking, but we told her to slow down, we don't want her growing up that fast.

Scarlett is showing Daddy that she can sit up holding her head on her own (for a short time, that is).

Daddy is so proud of her. He rewards her with a kiss.

Splat!

Two months old & worn out

Yesterday (Feb. 1) was Scarlett's two month birthday and she celebrated by going to her two month check-up and getting four shots. She had a morning appointment and the rest of the day she seemed to be so tired as you can see from the pictures, she was having play time with Daddy when she fell asleep, but then she woke up and wasn't a happy camper.
