Today my Aunt Jenne is babysitting me while my mommy and daddy fly in Papa's Cessna airplane. Daddy told me he used to fly planes back in the day, so Papa let him do the take off!!

They flew over Clearwater and St. Petersburg, Florida where Mimi and Alexia were on the beach taking pictures of them.

When they got back, we all played together for a while, then mommy, daddy, and I drove down to Port Charlotte where daddy grew up. We first visited with my Grandpa and Brenda

and then I finally got to meet my Mamaw...I've heard so much about my Mamaw and Papaw!! I only got to spend 1 day with them, I wish they could have stayed longer :o(

I also got to meet my hot Uncle Tony, his girlfriend Lauren, and his kids Mykelli, and Gage....it was so nice to meet so many new family members!! Uncle Tony and Lauren have a pool and they live on a canal. Two gators live in the canal behind the house, so this was the very first time I've seen a gator...it was pretty scary!!

My Mamaw and Papaw watched me that night so my parents could meet up with friends.

Today I took my very first airplane ride out of the great state of Texas to visit my family in Florida. I was such a good girl and only cried a total of 1 minute!!! I slept most of the way and ate during the decent, but I'm pretty sure a lot of my mommy's friends told her what to do so that I wouldn't be fussy :o) Thanks Gretchen...my mommy and daddy really appreciated your advice. And tell your boy Hudson "word up"...he sure is a looker!

Here's a picture of my cousins Austin, Alexia and me (Alexia calls me Maggie Moo and I call her Lexi Lou), we were so excited to finally meet each other! She made fun of me for a while for not having any teeth, but I forgave her! And Austin made me some very pretty artwork!

Here I am with my Aunt Jenne :)

Yesterday was a very big day for me!! First of all, I slept from 9pm to 7:45am....I felt so refreshed and rejuvenated!! Then my mommy and I went to lunch with my Aunt Bou (Aunt Kori) and some friends at Nordstroms in the Galleria. This was a very special occasion, so I asked my mom if I could wear my new Ralph Lauren tennis outfit (thanks Mary Kay!!) I was so cute...and Mary Kay, I promise not to take after your daughter and steal a golf cart, then drive into a pond behind your house...at least not in this outfit :o)

The Galleria is very fancy so I fit in quite well in my high end outfit! I was just looking at everybody and was amazed at how nice everything was! I mean, people actually had blouses on instead of cut off shirts and...no lie....people had SHOES on!! This was so different than the Wal-Mart where we usually go shopping!!! Granted, I did spy one woman wearing socks with her open toed sandals, so I let her know what a fashion faux pas it was!!!

After our trip downtown to visit my Aunt Bou, my other Auntie (Aunt Melanie) came over after work to play with me. Sometimes I just can't get over how popular I am!!! She even brought me a present!! We played together, I talked to her...she was so much fun!!! Both my aunts fed me a bottle today...it was nice. Of course I tried to nurse on both of them, but they wouldn't let me. I know, I thought it was rude too, but I got over it.

Well, I've been rolling over for a couple of weeks now but I was always too quick for my mommy to catch it on video. So this morning I tried to be a little bit slower so she could capture the moment, but I was already half way on my side by the time she started filming...I'm such a big girl!!!

I also had my weekly play date with my best friend Cailin...it was pretty awesome!! Since both of us are rolling over now, our mommy's put us on the floor to see if we roll into each other or on top of each other. What a bunch of suckers...we're way too smart for that!!! So instead we just played together on the floor. I didn't realize what a Chatty Cathy I am, I wouldn't let Cailin get a word in edge wise!!

We also held hands for a while, then Cailin decided she wanted to eat my hand and kept grabbing it and sticking it in her mouth. I'm not that coordinated yet, but when her hand got close to my mouth, I definitely tried to eat it too!!!

Well, the past couple of weeks I've been very eager to sit up...I pretty much do crunches every day. I've gotta get in shape, bathing suit season is quickly approaching and I am sooooo not ready!!! I am also already grabbing onto my toys, shaking them, and of course putting them in my mouth!!

Geez, Mom, I'm trying to talk on the phone, can't I get a little privacy??

Here's a picture of me in my camo gear. And yeah, that's right, I shot that 10 point buck...I'm also an avid hunter. I'm very quick and stealth-like.....that deer (his name is Quatro) never saw me coming!!!!

Well, I had a very busy week as my social calendar is abounding with new play dates and social gatherings! My mom and I went to daddy's work on Tuesday to have our official meet and greet with daddy's bosses and coworkers. We had so much fun and I was the star of the show. As a matter of fact, they already offered me a job as lead engineer...but I told them I had many other offers on the table and would have to think about it.

Thursday we went to lunch with mommy's friend Kristi, her two boys Hagen and Lane, as well as her lil' one still incubating in her tummy. Oh, it brings me back to my incubating days...a worry free life full of bliss and happiness...how I miss those times!! After lunch we went to my friend Cailin's house and played in her bouncy chair as well as her awesome swing outside...it was such a pretty day.

From Thursday through Sunday, we stayed with Mimi and Papaw....it was awesome!!! They bought me some new pretty outfits...orange is definitely my color!

I also visited with my Aunt Kori and Uncle Ryan...I was the life of the party!!! I talked to them and showed them some of my kung fu moves, they loved it!

My friends

Here are some pictures of my peeps...my homies if you will. Here's my boyfriend Grayson and I when I was only a week old...he started flirting with me from the start!!

We broke up for a little while when he got a little too fresh for my taste. We were just cuddling when he stole second base....I know, I was shocked too!!!!
