Pool and Pictures

Yesterday we made another trip to the pool. Daddy hadn't seen Tori in the pool yet. Afterwards, we had a little cookout. She can't wait til I can give her a bite of my burger! ha ha.

My little Pixie Girl

The other day we made another trip to Uncle Ellis' pool. The water was so nice and warm! Tori just loves the water, I'll have to get a video and post it on here.
While we were there Ellis kept calling Tori a little Pixie! She was just so cute and tiny, my little Pixie! ha ha
A few more family members were there, Jordan (1 1/2) and Ryan (9 mo). Tori was so excited when she hit the water! She just loves other babies and children. We went over to say hello, and as soon as we did Tori opened her mouth like she wanted to give kisses, and kissed him on the cheek! It was so cute! I wish I had my camera.
We were in the water moving a whole hour! She just laid on her tummy(with my support of course) and kicked her little frog legs while slapping the water at the same time! I think swimming lessons next year are in order!


I have been organizing and starting to pack for North Dakota! We are so excited that we have the time and money to make this trip. There is family that Spencer, Tori and I have not met on his fathers side. It will surely be fun! Let's hope the 16 hour drive goes as smoothly as it can!
It should be better than the trip from North Carolina, no more pacis! She just stopped taking them, works for us. She has taken her thumb now. Which is, AWESOME! She can't lose her thumb! Yay!

Walking anyday now?

I wanted to take a video of Tori standing, normally 2 or 3 seconds. Not today! Take a look at this! She has never done this before!
8 months old today!




..excuse the chopping of her head.. ha ha

Jabber Jabbers!

Crazy little girl..

So, yesterday Tori woke up talking! It's so cuute! I can't seem to put my camera down, I don't want to miss anything. I love the little jabbers! She thinks she's really talking!

Jabbering for Aaron!

Tonight, after baths she started saying Dada, Lala, Yaya. So cute! I can't get over it!
Here's a clip of her talking to the camera.

Teething Biscuit

Tori has been teething and grumpy lately. So, while I make dinner and wait for Daddy to get home I started giving her teething biscuits! She loves it! But,

BOY OH BOY!...

WHAT A MESS!

Bathtime is never far away after biscuits!

Granny bought some fresh apricots! What better way then for breakfast! Tori loved them, she was sad when she was all done.

Yummy!

Pool!

Today, Sheri invited us to go with Kenny and Clara to Uncle Ellis's pool!
We had a great time. Tori loved her "Maryland Crab" Sunshade, and loved swimming even more! I held Tori and she kicked while I moved her through the water. My little water baby!

After a little time in the water she was starting to fall over, she was so tired! So, I pulled her feet out and had her snuggle in the crab, and fell asleep! She looked so comfortable.
What a fun time! We'll definitely going back for another pool day.

4th of July Weekend

After our visit in Ohio, Tori and I tagged along with Shaun and Nana Bell for a visit to MD for the weekend! It went by too fast! We saw Grandpa Duane, Grandma LeeAnn, Jake and Megan. We had a great weekend!



On our way to Maryland!

First time on the metro!
(She was a little freaked out at first)

Won't be the last.

On the grounds in DC

Enjoying Grandpa's watch.
She loved it! It was kinda funny.

Yummy watch! ha ha

We sat right infront of the monument!

Asleep right before the fireworks.

Picture before the fireworks!

She was scared of the booms at first but warmed up,
and watched the whole show!

Tori's first fireworks were the best I've ever seen!

Boomer was jealous of Tori! He sat right infront of her!

Playtime!

She had so much fun!

Her favorite watch!

First bite of watermelon!

She loved it!

Uncle Jake

She had ice cream too!

Sharing her toy with Grandma.

We had so much fun! We looking forward to August when we can visit with eachother some more!
