Queen of the Bumbo

Yes, sometimes Obi does bow to me or lay at my feet. Actually, today he was obsessed with bringing me toys to throw for him. Mom had to step in and help out.

The magic PJs are getting close to retirement. The toes are scrunched and the sleeves are fashionably short...I just had to wear them one more time! Mom went through my closet today and got out my 6-9 month clothes. Just in time, I was needing some warmer clothes and my current wardrobe was all summer dresses. Now I have LOTS of fun new pants, long sleeves, fuzzy coats, and sweaters. YEAH!

The Other Natalie Marlowe

Apparently, there was a character on All My Children named Natalie Marlowe (that was her last name). Quite the interesting lady....check out her life. Does Grandma Hiatt remember her from the soaps???? Oh, and she also played her evil twin sister Janet....

Baby Break Dancing

It feels like Fall has come! We managed to sneak out for a walk with the pooch today. I'm getting used to wearing socks (they go up into my mouth) and like wearing my fuzzy hoody with ears. Mom is getting slower, or I'm getting faster. I managed to get a hand on to her breakfast today and my grip is strong! I also got my vitamin bottle as Mom was giving me vities today and spilled them ALL over myself. That meant I got TWO baths :) So here is the reason for the title "Baby Break Dancing." I had a good time on my playmat. I spin around and throw my bootie up in the air. I think it's entertaining, as does Mom.

Oh yeah, and Obi has been trying to sleep on Mom and Dad's bed as much as possible. Maybe he's tired because he ate part of Mom's banana today. Yes, everyone but Mom gets to eat.

Finally, a fun picture of me with my buddy Parker and her mommy Amy. We were thinking about them today when they were flying to Oregon. Sending good baby vibes!

Another successful day with Mom. Can't wait for Dad to come home on Thursday. He does a much better Superman fly around the house, but Mom gives it a good shot.

Double Trouble

We managed to all go out together in one vehicle today.....quite the accomplishment when there are two car seats, two strollers, two diaper bags, and two babies! Even made it through lunch without any major melt downs. Natalie seems to study little Parker. Can't wait until they are old enough to really play! Although today Parker did roll onto Natalie and Natalie did chew on her foot. Can we call that playing????

Ladies at Home

Well, Dad is out of town for a few days and it's just some girl time. This picture is my Marilyn Monroe impression. Somehow my skirt always ends up, and if at all possible in my mouth. The bow is in honor of Dad, he loves it when I have a little headband or hair thingy in! Amy and Parker came up from Columbus for a visit, they'll be here until Monday. Today Parker turned 8 weeks old! Yeah, you try to get a good picture of two babies together!! This one Natalie looks scared and Parker was pre-cry :)

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Hiatt for my Lutes sweatshirt!

We gathered the girls up and went for a walk tonight. Quite the scene when you have two strollers and a dog! Also, this past Friday we got our Halloween box from Auntie Courtiepoo and Uncle Max. You'll have to wait to see my costume!!!

That's all for tonight, later gators...

Mark Your Calendars...

OH MY!!!

HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS???

It's been in the works for awhile, but now it's official.... I will be taking my first plane ride out to Seattle on December 4th and staying until December 14th! Can't wait to meet all of my west coast relatives and see Grandpa & Grandma Hiatt, Uncle Matt & Aunt Jess, and Auntie Courtiepoo & Uncle Max. Mom and Dad are a little unsure of the 5 hour plane ride. I'm hoping that I'll be able to crawl up and down the aisles. Who knows what I'll be doing at 7 1/2 months!!!

Look at how excited I am!

Hard Work Being Five Months Old

Welcome to my new blog!!!

Yesterday I hit the 5 month mark! We had a busy weekend. Went and met the Niemans at a farm in Ottawa for some Fall fun on Saturday. Next year I'll be more interested in the hay rides, the pumpkin patch, and petting zoo!

Got my first taste of a slide and now I'm hooked. Dad promises to do some more slides soon!

Then on Sunday we met the Filatoffs for waffles and played over at Olander park. You'll notice that I love feeding the ducks...

Had a nice chat with Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt on Skype. Starting to pay more attention to the screen when they talk, so this should be fun as I grow. Made lots of funny faces and noises to keep them entertained.

Finally, the night ended with some attempts at rice cereal. I didn't put up too much of a fight, but not much got in me either. It must have taken something out of me, because I was playing on the floor with Mom this morning and fell asleep mid conversation. It looks like it's going to be a great day!
