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!!

I'm a Model You Know What I Mean...


and I do my little turn on the catwalk, on the catwalk yeah!! Auntie Kimmie (http://www.kimhildebrand.com/) did a photoshoot with me and I am GORGEOUS! Check out my head shots.

I am such a lady!

Having some fun with mommy and daddy.

Daddy and me showing our serious side of things.

Me and mama smiling pretty.

Squishy butt!! (Notice the placement of mommy's hand, she was ready for me to drop some hershey kisses at a seconds notice.)

I just need some 2 carat diamonds in my ears, that would complete this look.

My flash dance pose.

Who's hat is this? It clearly isn't mine. I look like I should be someone's driver.

Happy baby!

Still trying to crawl, thanks for getting me going backwards, yet again on camera - geesh!

GO HAWKS!! This is my game face. I am ready for preseason to start.

My First Trip to the Zoo

Mommy, Great Aunt Sandi and cousin Isaac took me on my first trip to the zoo! It was so much fun (from what I could see from my view from the stroller anyway). I can't wait to go back again.
This is not a picture of me, I am not that chubby...
nor is this a picture of me, that is a hippo silly!
Here I am with Aunt Sandi, checking out the orangutans.
Isaac and I hanging out on a grassy noll.
Isaac, mommy and me. I am beyond my nap time here.
So...sleepy, must sleep, but first MUST SWING!
This is my new expression, a crinkle nose and a snort all at the same time. "If you think I'm sexy..."

Finally a Picture!

of my two pearly whites...

Rollin Rollin Rollin

After hearing my mommy say "no she still isn't rolling" I decided to surprise myself and mommy by rolling during my nap! I scared myself so bad that I woke up in a panic screaming and crying. I have now realized that tummy sleeping is way better than back sleeping!
"Mommy HEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP"
Okay, not so bad. Now I just have to learn that I can do this anywhere, not just the crib. (as of publish date of this post, I have yet to roll anywhere but the crib)
