Two New Friends!

Today I met my new friend at Uncle Kyle and Aunt Ashleigh's house-- Mildolfa (I'm not sure how to spell her name). She is very fun to play with, but she is younger than me and can already walk, so I'm kinda jealous of her. I've been trying and trying, but my legs won't move me around yet. I think she was jealous that I can just poop and pee whenever I want, and she gets yelled at if she goes anywhere but outside.

What's more exciting than my four legged friend, is my new real human friend that arrived Sunday morning-- Victoria!! She was almost the exact same weight as me when I was born - 7lbs, 3 oz. She's already taller than me though, but mom and dad say I should get used to that. I am soooooo excited to see her, and I'll share pictures with you all very soon!

We Made It!!

So Mom and I made it through the weekend with-out Dad (he was in New Orleans helping Jeff get ready for married life). We won't lie, it wasn't easy (Mom says she's still recovering), but we made it through with-out Mom crying, and I only cried minimally (I decided to give the poor woman a break). Dad did line up some fun events for Mom though-- she got all her hair cut off, and her hands and toes are all painted now. I'm kinda mad she didn't schedule an appointment for me though-- all the women at the beauty shop said I could use a hair cut and style. I also had a fun lunch with my grandma's, aunt Janna and Ashleigh, and my friends Vicki and Veronica. Victoria (Veronica's baby in her tummy) was there too of course, but she just won't come out and play with me yet. I relaxed with some naked time too, which I enjoyed throughly. I love my Mom, but I'm glad to have Dad back around!!

Hello Everyone!

So this week has been a fun week so far... dinner at both Grandparent's house with my aunts and uncles, and lunch with Dad! Here are two quick home movies. You'll notice I've got one of my dad's best skills... I'll let the skill be a suprise, but I bet you can guess!

I love skirts!

Hello... just wanted to show-off my jean skirt. I thought it was pretty cute. My cousin Sophia let me borrow it. She said it was a hit at all the parties. Dad said it was a little short, but I wore it anyway-- what does he know!

It's That Time of Year!

Yes, today is the first Steeler pre-season game! I put on a couple outfits to show-off the Black and Gold... but I got a little tired and crabby before we got to all of them. I also have to show off my Bearcat gear on Aug 28th for their first game!

My dad brought home a new friend for me last night-- The Gapper!

Him and the rest of my friends got together for a group picture-- can you find me??

Also, here is Uncle Kyle and Aunt Ashleigh's new family member... They say they aren't ready for having a human cousin for me yet, so they are getting me a bulldog to ride around at their house and keep me company until I get a real cousin :)

Just another day in Paradise

Mom has learned that I very much enjoy a nice rock in the jungle in the morning, while she works on the famous Shafer budget :) I love the animals, and it's still early enough in the morning that I'm still in a good mood. Later in the evening, I perfer to be held and walked around the house for hours until I decide it's bed time :) I'm excited that the weather is cooling, because I've been telling Mom and Dad I want them to walk me outside a bit, but they say it's too hot. They're so overprotective! Let me decide if it's too hot! Also, here's a picture of me and my "Aunt" Katie that came to visit last week. She said "the baby isn't as scary as I thought she would be", and that's because I was on my best behavior-- she's a nurse, so I better be good, or she'll give me on of those shot things!

I Grew Almost 2 lbs!

Everything looked great at the Doctor... although I had to get a shot!! I heard next time I have to get 4 shots, so I'm planning my escape! The good part was that the doctor said I was looking very good, and I'm up to 8 lbs 10 oz and almost 21 in long!! I was so excited I rolled over and over and over... mom didn't catch me with the video camera, but she did get some "action shots".

More Rolling Over!

Pictures are forthcoming, but little Lil just rolled over a new record of 3 times in a row. As soon as I put her back on her belly, she'd flip herself again :) I think she was laughing at me! She's growing so fast! Tomorrow is her 1 month check-up, so we'll see how much she has grown officially.
