Summer and Friends

Full of giggles. Hard to catch her looking at the camera - and you know I'm no expert.
Napping with her friend. Looks like she's holding his hand, eh?

Just sitting together.
And her other "friend", Penelope, actually looking in her direction for a minute. Maybe Penelope thought she looked tame while she was sleeping.
My first friend was a giant orange critter....
(I haven't taken many pictures for a while. Maybe tomorrow.)

Something more pleasant than the last photos...

First, a disclaimer - I haven't figured out how to upload these pictures in the order I want, so anyway, here's Summer with her latest fascination. To be honest, I read on the box when we were setting up the swing that the reflective surface on the bottom of the mobile was supposed to be so fun and stimulating for the baby, and I kinda rolled my eyes, had no idea Summer would love looking in the mirror so much!
She loves to talk to the baby in the mirror.
Hi again!
I have several pictures like this one. I couldn't get her to look at the camera. Guess who was off to her left? Yep, Penelope!
Hi!
Just got out of the bath....

Loves her little lamb...
Loves her play gym.
Loves her friend Penelope. (Penelope's heading for safety though.)
Here's Penelope looking a little more fluffy than that last picture of her I posted. She was hanging out with my new yarn ball (maybe she thought it was another cat?) Scott's reaction to the new yarn ball..."What are you going to make with that, a comforter?"
Awwww, don't you just want to pull on her paws?

Still loves her baths.
Any votes on who she looks like?

The funny pictures...

Just another day hanging out on the couch
Uh oh, I see Dad getting out that camera. Think I'll throw a fit.
No! No! No! Nooooooo!


Seriously, I said No!

Random catch-up photos....

Ah, around here I feed mahself.



Nellie's latest haircut. I am a small poodle.



Here's an older picture of Summer with the classic "startle reflex". Getting a diaper changed can be a little alarming.


Love mah baths...


Ahh said...no more milk!!


The ever-cool maternity photos. I thought she did some cool editing on this one.


This one is the most cheerful.



And this one is the coolest. Anyway, there's more, but I'll save them until you come to visit, if you're interested.











Ah...finally

Hi! Thought I'd post more pictures of our happy baby. There she is all smiling. And oh...did you get new shoes, Rachel? Why, yes, thanks for noticing.

Just sitting with her tall dark dad. She still has bright blue eyes.

I think she likes the headband. It fits her now.

So happy!

This one's my favorite!

In the spirit of "everything's bigger in Texas", here's our new phone book that got dropped off. The top one is the purse edition, you know. Yesterday, as Summer and I were going on an adventure, we saw a herd of cats. I counted about ten or so. They blended right in with the trees. They looked like deer, but I remembered we were in Texas and knew they had to be cats....or mice.
Here's all my people sitting on the couch together. Maybe I should post a picture of Penelope's pretty haircut, for anyone who hasn't seen her.
I thought this was pretty cute. Scott was napping, and Summer was just peeking around.

Feeling sleepy. Sometimes I think she looks like a little redhead.

Looking so innocent, hard to believe that she sometimes (like last night) throws fits in the middle of the night.
Anyway, I have some other pictures of Summer that are hilarious. Anyone want me to post them?

Some pictures from the drive

So I guess we got our money's worth out of our space in the moving truck. The bikes on top of the pickup were a nice touch too. A little hillbillyish....if only Penelope had been gazing out the window of the back of the pickup, that would have completed the look.

I thought I would take pictures of the sights along the way, but the first windshield pictures I took were of the arch in St. Louis.

Most of the time I was distracted by the view inside the truck. Here's Summer napping in her car seat. Turns out pickup trucks are great for travelling with babies.

I only got one picture between St. Louis and Texas, but this picture is pretty typical of most of Missouri and Oklahoma. Pretty.


Welcome to Texas! Don't miss the Penske truck on the right that we followed for 1500 or so miles.


(These are high quality windshields photos....)

And my timing is brilliant. Ha ha ha. :)





Maybe tomorrow I will post some pictures of our new home & area. Especially the mountains that I have been hoofing up and down lately. I even had a runaway stroller down a mountain one day...don't worry, the bebe was in my arms. Mom, I thought you would be glad to know that Summer already learned the trick of starting out in the stroller and ending with me carrying her and pushing the stroller.
