Hello

So we have been doing a lot. Mommy and Daddy ran in a race last weekend and Great Aunt Diane came to watch us. We had a lot of fun with her. She sang with us and played games. I think she really likes kids. We went out to dinner with Poppy last weekend. We went to an Asian place with really big fish. Then Poppy came over for dinner on Sunday. I napped while he was here most of the time.

This weekend Mommy says we are going to two parties. We are also going to pick up Gram, Poppy, and GG from the airport. They have been in Florida. I have never been to Florida, but I think I am going to go this summer. On Saturday we are going to go to a Derby Party. Daddy says that we will watch horses run. I like horses they are so pretty. Riley shows them to me while we are driving home. Then on Sunday we are going to Landon's Birthday Party. It is not Baby Landon. It is Riley's friend Landon Walker. He is turning two. There is also another party this weekend that we aren't going to be able to make it to and that is Rachel's shower for Baby Maddon. Mommy says that he is not here yet. She says we have to wait until June to meet him. I can't wait meet him so that I can squeeze his cheeks. I tried to get a hold of Baby Landon today but Mommy would not let me.

I got over my last ear infection, but I have a cold again so Mommy thinks that I will get another one soon. I am probably going to get tubes I don't know why they keep delaying the inevitable.

I am getting big. I am probably close to 21 pounds. I think that all the jumping around is not helping my figure yet. I better start crawling soon so that I can work on my hips. Then when I start walking that will work on my leg rolls. Until all that happens I will just enjoy my curves because this will be the only time in my life that they are cute.

I turn eight months on Monday and I will need to put a new picture up on the side. Keep looking for that after Monday.

Aunt Sissie's Wedding

Okay so it has been about a month. Aunt Sissie and Uncle Steven got married yesterday! It was such a pretty wedding. Aunt Sissie was gorgeous. Riley and I looked pretty good too. We had matching dresses that Aunt Susan made. She did such a great job. Riley was the flower girl. She did a perfect job dropping the flowers down the aisle. I wish that I could have done it too, but seeing that I can't walk yet it really was not possible.

We had so much fun dancing at the reception. Mommy is such a good dancer. I would just scream and laugh telling people what a good time I was having. We stayed until they made us go home. I fell asleep on the way home. I was so tired, but we had a really great time.


Other happenings: A few weeks ago I turned 7 months. Look for my picture on the side soon.

I am really starting to enjoy cereal and food.

Daddy thinks that I am going to get my first tooth soon. Maybe I will get two at once.

I got anther ear infection, but hopefully it has already gone away. If it has not it looks like I will be getting tubes. I don't think I have one because I have not been really fussy.

Last week I slept through the night four nights in a row. That is huge for me and mommy is so happy.

If I think of anything else I will let you know.

Going to Grandma's

Well we have had a nice time at Grandma's house. We came up here on Saturday and we are leaving tomorrow (Tuesday). We have done so much. The biggest news of the weekend has nothing to do with me. Riley has been potty training all weekend. They say she is doing a good job. She has only had four accidents all weekend. Mommy has been setting her watch to go off and Riley knows that that mean she has to go potty. I had a great weekend without accidents too, until today. My poo went all the way up my back and I mean up my back, to my shoulders. It was really yucky. I don't know why it does that.

Another big step in my life, today I ate real food for the first time. I mean I have had cereal, but today I had squash and I hated it. It was so disguesting. I mean who made that stuff. I could not even handle having it in my mouth. I kept shaking my head and spitting it out and Mommy just kept trying to shove it back in. I mean can't she take a hint? Daddy says that one day I will love it and just want to keep eating more and more, but I just don't see that happening.

Well keep looking for more great things from me because mommy says that in the next six months I am going to be doing some pretty amazing stuff.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is my first St. Patrick's Day. Mommy and Daddy tell me that I am part Irish. I don't know what that means but everybody had to wear green today. And I managed to stay in my green outfit all day without getting it messy! That is quite an accomplishment for me.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Love, Luciana

Six Months Old

I am six months old now. I am doing so much. I still love to laugh and love to talk. Mommy can get me to laugh all the time. I always have such big smiles for her, probably because I am always looking for my next meal. I went to the doctor. The happy notes were that I was still growing. I am 18 lbs 15oz and 26 inches long. Still getting bigger. The bad notes were that I have RSV, I don't know don't ask me, something to do with my breathing. I also have another ear infection so that means more medicine. Dr. Howell says that if I don't get rid of this ear infection then I am going to have to get tubes. Riley already got tubes, but Dr. Howell also said that one of Riley's tubes already fell out and the other is trying to get out. It looks like we may be getting tubes together. Mommy says that she hopes that neither one of us has to get tubes.

I am starting to roll over. It is so much fun. When Mommy or Daddy lays me down under my jungle gym I wrap my feet around the bar and I get myself turned over. I don't know why I do it though because I don't like the view once I am on my belly. So then I just scoot myself everywhere. Mommy and Daddy wonder when I am going to start crawling. That will be a lot of fun. I can't wait to crawl. I hope I do it soon.

I am drooling everywhere and soaking at least three bibs a day. Mommy says she can not feel any teeth though. She says she does not want me to get teeth yet for two reasons. One I will just look too big and Two, well she says I might bite her. I don't know why she is so worried about me biting her.

I am getting big keep checking in to see how much I grow and change. Oh and look down the side I have all of my pictures updated and you can see me from 0 to 6 months.

First Bath With Riley

Riley and I took a bath together for the first time. It was so much fun. Mommy had to hold me up but it was fun. We were in her duck. Mommy says that as soon as I can sit up myself that we will get to take baths together all of the time. I just can't wait. Riley and I will get to splash around together all of the time. She makes it look like so much fun and I already love taking baths. I scream at Mommy and Daddy when they take me out. Riley and I are going to be double trouble in the bath tub. I wonder if Mommy and Daddy will let us use the jets?

Cereal

I started eating rice cereal two weeks ago. Now I am getting to eat it twice a day. I am so excited because I get to sit up at the big table with Daddy, Mommy, and Riley. I have my own chair to eat my cereal in. I am really good at eating it. Mommy says that I am a pro and that I will start eating vegetables soon. What are vegetables? Riley says that my vegetables will not look like her vegetables. She says that they will be all mushy. I don't care if they are mushy as long as they are good. So look out veggies here I come. I bet I will just love to eat those too.
