Mimi visits!!!!

My Mimi came to visit me since it had been two whole months since she had seen me. Her visit made my mommy extremely happy, too!Mimi stayed with us in Irvington and she took us into the city for a few days and she bought me some much needed sleepers and 9 month old clothes. I had such a good time with her and I loved the "Roll Around Baby" song. I can't wait until our next visit.

You are giving me what!

I have been enjoying my mommy's milk for the past five months and this past Tuesday I got to experience rice cereal for the first time....and the verdict is in.......I LOVED it! I couldn't get it fast enough. Even though I got a little tummy ache later, I can't wait to have more. One of my favorite parts was splashing the leftovers all over. I totally got a bath afterwards.

Jumparoo, jump up, jump up, jumparoo!

This is my new favorite pastime! I LOVE to get my bouncy time in. My feet don't quite touch the ground yet, so my mommy lovingly puts a telephone book under my feet- this way I can really jump up, jump up and jumparoo!!!

Alabama 41 Tennessee 17!!!! Roll Tide Roll!!!

(This is my boy Simeon Casteel. We met up after the game! I had to tell him what a great game he had.)

Roll Tide!!! Oh yeah, I had a much better time at this Alabama game. This time I wasn't afraid of the crowd noise and I even watched a few plays! I know that I only had my Alabama outfit (but even my daddy had on some AL stuff at one point), but, hey, we were in the Alabama Box! My daddy says at least my passie was orange. My mommy and the rest of the Murphys/ Saunders enjoyed the game immensely. Better luck next time daddy!

Philly

Since Philadelphia is less than two hours away, we decided to head down for the weekend. Our next door neighbors, Dave and Annie, came, too! We got to see Independence Hall, the liberty bell and we even got to walk up the "Rocky" steps outside of the Philly Museum of Art. Yes, that is a pic of Mario Battalli. We got to "meet" him outside at the famous Pat's Philly cheese steak restaurant. We actually didn't quite meet him, Annie and I totally got yelled at for trying to take his picture. Whatever! At least we did get it even if he was a butt about it. Luke was great all weekend, just like always! He is such a little traveler!

My GREAT Grandmother Marion

I love my great grandmother.She came to see my a lot while I was in Mobile! My mommy and daddy tell me that she is one of the BEST cooks in the world! I can't wait to have some of her creamed corn!

My new Trick

I am learning new things everyday. My newest trick is to grab both feet! It is great fun, but the best part is to hear my mommy laugh about it.
