Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled...

March 4- Loving the attention from Mimi & Pop

March 5- Getting whatever she wants from Mamma Lin & Granddad

March 17- She LOVES riding on Daddy's shoulders, but not the getting down part so much

She really holds on!

Tickle time

March 18- We went to Hamilton and stopped by to visit my great-aunt Bobbie

She's wearing the cute shirt Mimi made for her

We also got to visit with my sweet Grandmother

Before spending her first night at Mimi and Pop's house.  We decided it was too late to drive back and just stayed.  Thanks, Mimi for letting Eva Brooke keep you up! :)

Crawling!

On February 28, our baby girl started crawling at about 6 1/2 months.  Since then, our lives have forever changed...  She is getting faster and faster by the day.  Gone are the days when we could leave her sitting to play while getting dressed, doing laundry, etc.  I have found her eating dog food once and several times with Cotton's rawhide chew in her mouth.  Oh, life is sweet!

March 4- "Look mom, I can come find you!"

And we might as well forget about germs!?!

Reinserting paci after dropping it on the floor (however, nice that she can do that herself...)

March 11- Very suspicious...

Trying Meats

As my mom has reminded me, Eva Brooke is a fourth generation non-meat connoisseur.  My grandmother and great-aunt are true vegetarians.  My mom and I eat meats, but would generally prefer BREAD.  That is handy, since my dad is a breadman.  Here is our first attempt on February 24 at feeding Eva Brooke some turkey.  A couple of times since, I fooled have her with the sweet potato/meat combinations, but now that's not even working...

I first let her smell her foods

Can you say, NOT A FAN?!?

And...out it comes

February in Review

February 1...My sweet, less-mobile, baby girl

Blowing peas everywhere

February 8- I believe this is the last picture I have of Eva Brooke in her swing :(

Getting up on all fours

February 9- Just another snow in Mississippi... or that's how it feels this year.  Andrew making our last batch of snowcream for the winter (hopefully).

February 11- Six months old...and the last picture of Eva Brooke in her bouncy seat :(

February 12- All smiles this day

 She loves to sit and play with her house

We try not to turn on the TV too much... because if it is, her eyes are glued on it!

She loves, loves Cotton

February 13

February 14- Happy Valentine's Day!

Trying out the sippy cup for the first time.  She liked to chew on it anyway.

February 17- At the doctor, waiting on her 6 month shots

Trying on outfits for 6 month pictures

Nose is looking a little orange here...

Not really in the mood for dress-up

February 19- With her favorite chew toy, a gift from cousins Justin, Summer, and Dublin...

With another of her favorite toys, also from them.

I love these grins!

It's finally getting warmer!  Going for a stroll around the neighborhood on a Saturday.

Her first ride in the stroller (without using the seat/carrier)

February 22- Eating Mexican for Brad's 30th birthday

We tried out Eva Brooke's highchair cover, and she was a fan.

 Emily, Eva Brooke, and Hunter

February 23- My Daddy came to assist us with getting a new set of tires.  We had a nice visit at Atlanta Bread while we waited.  Eva Brooke was a good girl and enjoyed getting to spend some time with her Pop!

February 24- Her onesie says, "My mommy is a pharmacist," ha!

February 26

And...she's pulling up!!!

February 27

I just love this smile with her two little teeth!

 Not crawling yet, but SO close.  Actually she started the very next day!

Trying my best to stand up.  Let's just master one thing at a time here...
