TV Watcher!

Oh my little tv watcher! This child will sit and watch Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse while I'm getting her bag packed for day care on school mornings! She loves the song on Handy Manny and will start jumping in her play crib and goes nuts! :) Gotta love as they grow! Oh and her new thing is grinding her teeth! Ugh! I can't stand it its like nails on a chalk board! Darn kid!

Our Little Explorer!

Well now that Mariah cruises she thinks she needs to go every where! She can cruise up our stairs! And no we don't just let her go on her own! We have a baby gate but we decided to let her go to see how far she could make it! And boy she made it all way to top and fast! Notice the mark on her nose in the top picture...she pulled her booster seat off the chair at nana and papas and it knocked her in the face! Ouch!

Our Little Monkey!

Well even though Mariah still wasn't feeling the best she was a trooper and got in her costume! Way cute! Happy Halloween! Every one loved her at the ward party and of course Nana and Papa were smitten!

Sick Baby!

So as most of you heard we had miss mariah in the ER twice this last weekend! She was diagnosed with Croup (Sp?) so pretty much her air way began to close shut and she reached a temp of 103! Poor baby! She is re-cooping and getting better slowly! So in this picture she had just woken up from one of her many naps while being sick and since she had such a fever she was sweating like CRAZY! Needless to say she had some pretty hair!

Pretty Lady!

So this photography place from out of Oregon came to our Kmart and was doing a special picture session. I got a 10x13 for $15 but they try and catch you with the whole packages which were $300! No thanks I'll pass! I got two small ones for the Grandparents for $20 so sorry all I couldn't afford ones for you so I did it ghetto style and took picture of mine in the frame! haha! Shes a smiley girl until I need her to be! She was sooo crabby when we got there but it didn't turn out too bad!

Peek-a-Boo!

Playing in the crib downstairs! That thing comes in handy when I need to get things done! I tried to get a picture of her when she pushes her face against the side through the screen but the camera doesn't take well through the screen! Its so cute though! She's a ham!

Crawling Terror!

It's official! Mariah learned to crawl this week end.. FORWARD! And let me tell you...terror!

Pink Snowman!

Look at my pretty "snowman" suit! She has two of them I just un packed her other pink one though! She looks pretty funny but cute!

Obession with Box of Wipes!

If I didn't already know my kid was different I sure do now! Her new obessesion is with the box of wipes I keep in the living room! She will purposly put her toys down (once she spots the wipes) to go over and get the wipes to play with! And how do you ask does she get there?? O she is master and "army crawling" BACKWARDS! She still is too stubbourn to go forwarf (not that I am objecting) She'd rather pull herself up on things! Yikes! :)

Who'd a thought??

New Couches!

Here's my new couches! Of course Mariah had to be in the picture too! She's already a camera hog! O and also she now has 4 teeth! Talk about hellish!

Lazy!

See.. what did I tell you??? Gives up and is LAZY! ha :)

Attempt to Crawl!

Well Mariah is still stubborn as can be! She can scoot back wards or get her arms moving but doesn't want to move those darn legs then just pouts or puts her head down!

Hello!

Hello all! (notice the hair growth??)

Yummy!

My first time eating baby cookie!! Yummy! She loves them but o my gosh are they a mess! Also as you can see we're learning a sippy cup with juices now! yay!

Reading Time!

Now she's just showing off for the camera!

Mariah sitting on the couch reading her "sing to me" book that Nana and Papa bought her! She loves her books! Now we just have to learn they are not chewing toys!

So Innocent!

Who doesn't love an oatmeal face?? If you look really close you can see her two teeth on the bottom!

All Gone!

Now it's just a chew toy!

Licked Clean

so now that Mariah knows how to use those hands she'll take the bowl from me when I say "all gone" and literally lick the bowl!

First Tooth!!

I don't have a picture for this one yet but I should have you all know that Mariah has officially broke in her first tooth! Finally there's an excuse for the uncontrolable drooling! :) When she went to her 6mo check up her doctor said she's going to break in several one right after another since her top and bottom gums are all swollen! Ouchy! We'll see if I can get a picture of the tooth one day!

Proof of Hair

Look Auntie Nicole-- I do have some hair. Enough to keep a bow in now! :)

So Sleepy!

Just like cousin Ryleigh!

Snicker Snicker!

Mariah is already taking after Grandma McDowell's love of chocolate 6 months old and already has a Snickers bar (thanks uncle Jessey)

Pool Time

Mariah with Grandma Penny in Minnesota for 4th of July. That was her first time in a pool so she wasn't a huge fan of it the 1st time but she was still fun!

Mariah, Grandma McDowell, and I took Mariah to the pool here in town and she was so fun to have in the pool! I had sunscreen on her of course and let me tell you she was a slippery lil bug!

4th of July

First 4th of July for Mariah we spent in Joshs home town in Minnesota. I thought she would be afraid of the fire works since they had such a big show

O Sweet Potato

First time with solids...not a big fan of sweet potatoes at first but believe it or not she LOVES it now!! And she can keep alot more of it in her actual mouth!

"The Look"

Nothing like a deer in the head light look! ha

Daddy & Me

Daddy and Mariah time! As much as daddy wanted a boy she already has him wrapped around her finger! O Boy!!!

Bath Time

Bath time with baby! Ever since mariah was born she loved her bathes and to this day she still does and splashes like crazy!!
