Life On The Farris Wheel: Happy 8 Month Birthday to ME

HAPPY 8 MONTHS TO ME!!! I’ve been partying so hard that I didn’t have time to write a 7-month birthday blog post. Please accept my apology- but once you understand how awesomely busy I’ve been, you’ll understand.

Happy 6-month Birthday to me in my Birthday Suit!

Since my 6- month blog post I’ve been doing public appearances, jamming out all night thanks to getting my top teeth, and I got sick from staying up all night at Grandma & Papa’s house in Tampa. See, I told you- its been a busy two months!

The Lowman cousins from Nashville came to visit!

More milk Papoose!!

My 7^th month birthday started off with a bang when Big Brother decided to show off his artistic abilities using a sharpie. He drew all over the walls, leather couch, fabric chairs, dinner chairs, kitchen cabinets, and refrigerator. I was busy drinking dinner, which is my alibi, but really I might have helped him get ahold of the sharpie…us brothers have to stick together. It’s us against the parental units.

He'll be in timeout until he's 18

In other news, my Grandma & Papa BOTH came to visit me!! We had a blast! Papa played with me nonstop while Grandma took me shopping and fed me food---speaking of food- I now can eat baby food! Yay! For a while there, I was pretty stubborn and decided I didn’t want to eat anything but milk. Once Aunt Lynn taught me that I could eat other things than the questionable veggie nasty stuff mom forced me to eat, then I started to eat. Now mom feeds me the good stuff I want-like yogurt and apples- not peas and carrots.

Papa makes a great jungle gym

I have them wrapped around my little finger

I also went to the doctor a couple times. Once for a check up, and the rest because I’ve been sick. I blame it all on Luke. He comes home from Mothers Day Out with boogers all over his face and sticky figures. Gross.

See look, how do you explain this? #weareNOTrelated

The past two months also included tons of celebrations!! Three baby showers, Mimi’s Birthday, Papoose’s Birthday, and tons of my friend’s birthday parties! I’ll celebrate anything as long as it includes cakes.

Aunt Ann, William & Sarah came in town for Nora's Baby shower!

Most recently Mom took me and Luke to Tampa to visit Grandma & Papa, and Aunt Ann, Uncle John, William & Sarah. We all had a blast- and the best part was I even got to see Uncle Jim The Great Guy and Aunt Cyndy too!!! We played in their pool and ate cookies! Everyone took the toddlers to Busch Gardens and Aunt Ann stayed back with me and played with me ALL DAY LONG!!! She was so good to me I tried to get her to adopt me. Maybe at Christmas she’ll adopt me. Over all it was a GREAT vacation!! Even the flight home was great- Mom passed me around on the plane to some young twin girls who adored me and fed me milk! Talk about the life of luxury!

Can you believe Luke knows more about iPhones than Uncle Jim?!?

My first Halloween wasn’t exactly what I expected. I dressed up as Cookie Monster, Luke was Elmo, and Daddy was Ernie. Big Brother told me that I’d get so much candy that I could eat it for days and never run out. Wrong. I got no candy- mom and dad took it all. Thief.

Ernie looks much smaller on the TV.

Hay ride with Daddy!!

I’m sure y’all are all dying to know my stats. I’m 20 lbs, about 27 inches tall, and I have 3 teeth (my top tooth just came in!). People say I look just like my daddy, which I love, but mostly I hope I’m as strong as daddy soon! I can crawl faster than most can walk, I climb on everything, and when the parentals aren’t looking, big brother and I wrestle. My favorite food is still sweet potatoes, I’ve spent the night at Mimi’s house TWICE, and sometimes I’ll sleep thought the night—all depends on how much food mom will let me eat.

Phewwww that was along blog post. Don’t worry party people; I’ll do my best to never skip a month again. Hope yall have had a great 2 months too!! I hear we only have 11 more weeks until my FIRST CHRISTMAS!!!! OMGGGGG I CAN’T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!

Ok well until next month,

Love,

GBaby
