Oct. 30, 2009



Melanie is finally 100%. It was a very rough week for her. First off, she had a tooth pop through! Then she got a viral infection with a rash over much of her body to boot! While she was going through all of this, another tooth was working its way through! We are happy to say we are fever and infection free now and we have two little "stubs" of teeth and we are happy as can be now! Good to have "old Mel" back!

So, we know how Melanie loves tongues. She thought it was hilarious me shaking my tongue at her. This got a good laugh all day!

I'm not to responsive to other objects or noises if there is a STRING around! I get so focused and upset at these strings when I can not have them!!!

Here's me eating and drinking...I don't do too well, but I do the best I can...especially since I have not been feeling too awful good!

Now there is the left lead leg! Holding onto Veronica Mars which Aunt Katie got us hooked on.


Left lead leg again!

Oct. 17


Stopping to smile at Pepper

Attempting to stand under jumper

Love the expression. Daddy likes that she has started this "hurdle stretch" Here is the right lead leg, guess daddy hasn't been teaching her right. Daddy keeps saying, "left lead leg, left lead leg!" The care bear in this picture was dad's when he was growing up.

Do you see a resemblance here? Maybe add a little hair to Mel?

Abbi hates having socks on her toes! Melanie is so serious with those logs.

That Abbi, giggling away again, while Mel looks intensely at the logs

Share girls

Abbi smiling, Melanie is busy

And Abbi still smiling, of course! :-)

Here I am in my cute pink sweater!
And with my Dad.
And wearing my new (used) hat mom got me before we took the tag off.
And the cutest for last! "Bring on the Cold!"

October 20, 2009

Just to let everyone know...mom and dad felt my first tooth this evening! It's really sharp! And I was telling them all last night that it was bothering me too! Did they listen? Yes, all night long but they didn't believe me. Jeez, talk about doubting Thomas's! I'll show a picture when it's a bit more erupted!

They actually got rowdier and more giggly the longer it took to take these quick pictures!
Abbi and Mel

October 15, 2009

Me and cuz Logan, he smiles pretty good, I don't understand always what is going on.
Oops didn't rotate the pic of Abbi!
And a couple quick group shots, what a happy bunch!
Closer Abbi! Sit up straight now!

Here's what I do when I am woken up in the morning! I am so cute!

And my new cry for food is included on this one, as well as my new talent of hitting my back against my high chair, again silly stuff, but new to me!

October 12, 2009

The progress I have been making is pretty good, as you can see..."I'm doing real good!"

Look who came down for a visit! They made it a business/leisure trip, but did get to see me in person! I have grown!
G, Mel, K
I don't always respond well to smooches behind my ears.
Nor with a Melanie sandwich!

Grandpa Thering feeding me real good! Real Good!
He takes good care of me when he comes to watch me!
Real Good!

October 8, 2009

My cousin came to visit..from NC state! How tan she is!
I learned to wear a bib after watching my my cousin one time a couple months ago!
She does not know I am here.
But she can see Pepper's reflective coat, wow he's bright!

Enjoying time home with Mom on her birthday!
Or Mom, enjoying time home on her birthday!

October 2, 2009

Here I am starting to crawl and pull my favorite toy "string" (which is connected to a dog incidentally)
And my tongue, still out!
Taking a break from giving Monkey chest compressions, before misleading everybody...
...that I can stand on my own! Or braced against the couch from behind, but it looks good!

some hail that had hit the other night, tomatoes say ouch!

Before an afternoon walk...I love cords and strings, (to my mom's displeasure)
(and yes dad often brushes his teeth in the afternoon)
Gimme string!
