Sweet baby!

I just wanted to show you all how sweet I'm looking these days!

It's Mother's Day!

This is the first Mother's Day for my Mom and I want everyone to know how much I love her. She's the best! She keeps my dry, keeps my tummy full and knows just how to settle me down when I get fussy. I like to just look up at her and grin. I can tell what a special lady she is! Dad says we're both lucky. I say we're blessed!

I love you, Mom!

I'm gonna be strong!

Dad's been teaching me about Crossfit.

In fact, he was reading about how to squat , deadlift, and do pullups to me before I even got here. I can't wait till I can keep up with everyone, but for now I'm doing what I can. Lots of stretching, trying to hold up my head and get these arms and legs coordinated. One of my family friends who does Crossfit gave me a great onesie. It says- Crossfit Baby: I poop for time. Since most of the workouts from Crossfit are against the clock, Dad thinks it's funny. Thanks Barry! You can check out what I'll be doing at www.crossfit.com.

Time for church!

Well, it's Sunday and you know what that means. It's time for church! This was my first time to go to church with Mom and Dad. I met lots of people and was very good for the whole service. Mom didn't have to get up and leave once. Pastor Scott and Jenni were happy to see me again and Pastor Mark and his pretty shirt stopped to say hi.

Here's a pic of me and Mom. I'm wearing the dress that Uncle Nick and Aunt Leandra gave me that made my Dad cry when he saw it. I'm pretty in pink and green!

Lots of love,

Turtle

It's a Jungle Out There!

My Granny and Uncle Josh brought over a jungle

playmat. It sure is fun!

The lion goes- RRRROOOOAAAARRR!

My family loves me this much!

Let's face it, I know I'm getting by on my cuteness! It's the main thing I have going for me. I'm sure it will come in handy for many years to come!

It's been a while since I've posted, so let's get you caught up. I've had a lot going on in the last couple of weeks I've been around. My PapaZona came in from AZ and I had a blast with him and Lita. Of course, my Granny and Pa have been coming to visit too. Pa was just here today and held me during one of the quietest hours I've had all day. Dad said he could come back anytime.

I love my aunt Laura (even though dad says she's adopted) and uncle Josh! My uncle Nick and aunt Leandra are both really cool and they have lots of cousins for me to play with- Jodie, Layne, Cate and Olivia- I can't wait!

My uncle Anthony and aunt Angie haven't been able to make it here to see me yet...well they tried but I wasn't ready to come out before they had to go back to Aggieland. I'm sure I'll meet them and my other cousins, Emily and Haley, soon. We'll have lots of fun!

I have lots of other friends and family who have been visiting me as well. I'm so blessed to have lots of people who love me! Thank you all for being a wonderful part of my life!

Love, Turtle

Would you trust this guy?

Practice makes perfect.

Before my arrival, my parents tried to prepare themselves for what was to come. They got my room ready (with the help of friends), they got lots of stuff for me (with the help of friends), my dad even practiced holding and rocking me (all by himself).

But there were several things they could not have prepared for. Like how I enjoy being wide awake from 10pm to 2am every night. Like how I like to bounce, not rock (sorry dad). Like how I shriek all of the sudden without warning for no apparent reason (at least to anyone else). These are a few of my less than desirable qualities but I can assure you that I more than balance them out most of the time. Like how I whine in my sleep. Like how I hone in on mommy and daddy's voice. Like how stretch out my arm and legs and give a big toothless yawn. Like how I look so peaceful when I'm sleeping.

Yep, practice makes perfect. I'm definately giving my parents lots of chances to practice. I don't think they'll be perfect, but I'm sure they're going to try really hard!
