Growing Like a Weed

Whenever mama talks on the phone, all I ever hear her say is "Fi is growing like a weed!" I just don't get it, because in the summer she picks all the weeds out of the ground and throws them away (and endlessly complains about it). How am I a weed??

This is my "hit me baby one more time" outfit (sans skirt, I wouldn't comply entirely with mom's game of dress up.)

This past weekend fall arrived with a vengence, it rained all day on Saturday - but if anyone is ready, it is me. I have a ton of cute new fall clothes and accessories to show off!

Can I get a shot of Bailey's with my formula please?

Me and my 2 BFF's, Auggie and Lucy.

Coffee table knob = YUMMY

Seahawks season is here! Check out my Sea Gal outfit. I hope to try out for the squad next year, I have been working on my moves, especially to "Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur"!

Mom is getting ready to go to the game. I don't care anymore, last year I was a baby, this year I am a big girl and I go hang out with nana and papoo and go on adventures!

Sometimes when daddy works from home, I just want to play with him. How do I get through this piece of wood? Can I fit underneath?

Maybe I can huff and puff and blow this door down?

Okay, seriously - "DAAAAA DAAAAA!!!!!!!!! LET ME IN!"

Eating some mac n cheese (that is all I will eat these days)

I can reach my own toy box now! This is so fun!

Summer Summer Summer Time

This summer has been filled with LOTS of fun times! I cant believe that it is already September and time to go back to school. Oh wait, I am only 10 months old, I don't go to school. Someone might want to tell my mommy because she keeps singing me the ABC's and trying to get me to do all sorts of things, that I am pretty sure might be considered "homework" by some.

I kind of look like I am dressed to go to school in this picture. Whatever I am dressed to do, I sure do look CUUU-TE

The mirror never gets old to me. I continue to look at it and wonder who that big blue-eyed baby is that is staring back at me.

Seriously, I read this for the articles.

I am all ready for some mac n cheese! Mom and I went to Bremerton to visit her mom (I am confused...some sorority thing?) and she made the BEST mac n cheese ever. (Don't tell my mommy, she might get her feelings hurt)

This ball keeps rolling away, so I must crinkle my nose to get it back.

My first time I tried spaghetti. I don't really like it, I would rather my noodles covered in cheese.

How pretty am I in my Hawaiian dress? Nana and Papoo bought it for me.

Here I am on the swings, one of my most favorite things to do. Daddy pushes me really high, it is so much fun!

I just want to make sure that Isaac knows who is boss, I might be smaller, but I am feisty!

Me and Isaac chillin' at my grandma and granpa's house in Coeur D'Alene. We had a couple of dates over there.

Here I am with mom and grandma and grandpa's house. I was pretty dirty from all of my Idaho exploring, so I needed a bath. Grandpa made me my very own bathtub...

My bathtub!

Me and Uncle Chris having a moment.

How Big is Fiona?? SO BIG!

Movin', movin', movin'!! That is about all I do these days. It is pretty hard to keep my contained, as I love to crawl and explore anything and everything I can find. I am trying to figure out how to open all these drawers and cupboards that mommy is always pulling cool stuff out of. So far, mommy is too fast to get to me and I have to get into the cupboard. Soon enough mom, soon enough...

Here I am trying to make my way into the kitchen without mommy seeing and catching me.
Another pic of me on the move, I love crawling between the carpet and hardwoods, it feels funny on my knees.
In this picture I probably saw something really enticing to me, like mommy eating, or a dog bone. I want it, I want it!
This is my new toy, I push down the little animals and then mommy pops them back out at me, FUN!
Along with lots of crawling, I also pull myself up on everything! I have had many falls and I cry a lot when it happens, but after mommy or daddy hugs me and kisses me all better, I am back at it!
Lucy loves to give me kisses, particularly after I have eaten, I wonder why that is???
I also really enjoying crawling underneath the coffee table and drooling on mommy and daddy's wedding album.
Recently my favorite boyfriend Isaac and I went on a date to Marymoor Park. It was super fun, we switched toys and had a picnic! Smooches to Mr. Isaac!
Oh, and we also swung on the swings! How cute are we?
Me and mama at the park, I am kind of mad because I did NOT want to be chaperoned for my date with Isaac, but mommy and Auntie Kimmie insisted on being there.

Go Mariners! I went to the Mariners game with mommy and Papu and guess what? They actually won!
Me and Papau at the Mariners game singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".
These are my cheerio fists, sometimes I try to get as many as I can in each hand and then squeeze them.
But most of all, I love to eat them! Yummy cheerios!

Summer Fun!

This summer has been so much fun and so busy so far! The most exciting part is that last week I finally learned to crawl forward! The good news for mommy is that I don't venture out of the family room - yet! I am just waiting until she isn't paying attention and I am heading straight for the stairs! I also spent a lot of time in my pool in the backyard, I am working on my tan!

I love swimming in my backyard! My favorite part is trying to pick up the toys in the water with my mouth, it is like bobbing for apples!

Look at me on all fours! Lucy and Auggie better watch out! I love pulling tails and poking eye balls.

This is my new ride, that 1st gear is kind of tricky...

I met a new friend last week, Reagan Baxter. She is the daughter of mommy's old roommate and good friend. We hung out with them a bunch when they were in town. Mommy tells me we will go visit them in 'Tucky and wear big hats and watch some horseies - cool!

This is me, Reagan and Brooklyn Parker playing - mommy, Reagan's mommy and Brooklyn's daddy all lived together when they lived in the Alley of Love. (That's where mommy and daddy met!) We had so much fun playing!

What are these chicks talking about??

Whatchu lookin at punk?

Happy Fourth of July! We went to the Mariners game - my first real game, it was so much fun! I slept through a few innings. :)

I am getting ready for my first hike!

Even though I am not smiling, I was super excited, I could pull mommy's hair the whole time.

We hiked in north bend with Justin and Rochelle, it was a BLAST! (Note that daddy is carrying me, not mommy. I guess she doesn't like me pulling her hair, I don't understand why not?

Auntie Gretchen got me a red wagon - I am a little apprehensive at first, It seems kind of scary.

BUT WAIT...this is SO much fun! It even has room for a 12 pack of Bud Light.

I love my new wagon!

Along with crawling, I also learned how to pull myself up, and noone was watching! Mommy came in and found me standing, very proud of myself.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I am standing!!
