Pumpkin's favorite thing

Ok, this picture doesn't show her favorite thing but I knew you would like more pictures. Anyway, her favorite thing is to stick out her tongue and try to touch her nose with it. She actually can do it! She is also very good at rolling her tongue in various positions. She had been doing this so much that she had irritated the skin between her nose and lips. It made her look like the baby from "The Addams Family".

Christmas pictures

Hey everyone, sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. Getting ready for Christmas about did me in. Here are some of Pumpkin's Christmas pictures. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a great New Year. I know 2010 will be a good year for us. It is hard to believe that Pumpkin is almost 9 months, yikes, the time is going by fast.

Here are some of the highlights of the last month. Pumpkin is crawling!!! She can also get into a sitting position by herself. She still says mainly "dada" and "A" thinks she may actually know what it means now. She doesn't say "mama" a whole lot unless she is crying. She is starting to do that whole "I don't want to be out of mama's sight" attachment thing which is really cute, until I'm trying to do something in the other room and she is screaming at the top of her lungs! Babyproofing is currently under way as she is really quick and she loves to explore. The dog and cat will have to start learning how to get out of her way because she loves them both and wants to "pet" them (which basically means she is pulling out their hair). I think our girl will not be blue-eyed much longer. Grandma wanted a brown eyed grandchild and I think Pumpkin will be it, we'll have to wait and see. Her hair is getting thicker and somewhat darker.

She really is a delight. She loves to smile at people and she is a good baby. We're having some trouble getting her to sleep at naptime and bedtime, she likes to be rocked to sleep and wants to wake up when we put her in the crib. However, when things settle down after New Year, mama will try to get her back on a schedule, fingers crossed

New computer is here

My first post on my new computer. Just learning how to use it but thought I would see if I could download one picture to satisfy your pumpkin craving! Can you guess where we went on our vacation? More pictures to follow.
