Pretty in pigtails!

Deanna sure loves Sesame Street! No matter what she is doing whenever she hears Elmo's theme song, she makes a B-Line for the television.

Not even stairs can stop this Baby!

Quick update: For the past month and a half Deanna has been "cruising" on furniture. She pulls herself up to a standing position on any sturdy and even not so sturdy object or piece of furniture in the house. She sometimes gets distracted and lets go of what she is holding on to for support and she stands alone for a few seconds and then tumbles down. Recently, she has taken up stair climbing (scary, I know). She only makes it to the third step when I get nervous and bring her down.

Mommy, can we let the dogs in....Please....

As most of you know, Deanna loves our dogs and can't get enough of them. They are really gentle with her and are good sports because Deanna likes to pull on their ears, their tails, and thinks it's funny when she sticks her finger in their nostril...I know, I know, but she loves it! Anyhow, we kept the dogs on the back porch when we had company the other day and Deanna was really sad and was trying to figure out how to let them back in to play.

It's Almost Football Season!!!

Football season is right around the corner and nothing could be more appropriate than buying Deanna her very own Tampa Bay, Buccaneers cheerleading outfit! She was even thrilled to sit through a few pictures with it on before Jamie left for a preseason football game. Gotta love our little cheerleader!

Tunnelz and Tumblez

Amber and I got the girls together for our monthly reunion. This time we met up in St. Augustine at an indoor playground called "Tunnelz and Tumblez". It is full of tubes, slides, and so much more that the girls were able to enjoy. There was special area for the babies under 3, which is where we spent most of our time. The girls had a great time and even slid down the slide by themselves for the first time.

Water Baby Part II

We took Deanna to the beach again this past weekend and she really enjoyed herself!! She loved playing in the water and was very curious about the texture of the sand. She crawled along the shore line chasing the waves as they receded back into the ocean. She definitely kept us on our toes!! Needless to say, swim lessons are right around the corner. She starts on September 6th.

Water Baby!

Deanna loves the water! We could leave her in the bath tub or the pool all day and she would be as happy as can be. She plays and splashes and cries when I take her out because her fingers are starting to look like prunes!
