I Got Baptised!

I had a very big day today...I got baptised! We went back to Beloit to Mema and Pappo's house this weekend and had lots to do. Saturday we took a family picture and I had to dress up in lots of other outfits for more pictures. I know I'm cute and all, but sometimes this picture thing can get overdone! I'll have mom send out an email when the pictures are available online. After pictures we went to a craft show and shopped downtown Beloit. I waited very patiently while Mommy tried on every pair of jeans in the store. Aunt Kelv and Uncle Karton came up later to hang out with me. I showed them lots of stuff. I dressed up in my halloween costume, I showed them how I crawl and I did my best at showing them new sounds I make ;) Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma Claussen came up and we all went to church for my big day. I did really good and never cried once! Not even when pastor took me from dad to put that holy water on my head ;) After I got wet, he held me up to the congretion for them to check me out. I had a few things I wanted to say after such a big event, so I grabbed the microphone off pastor's robe! He didn't let me say much but I sure tried! This week is Halloween...I can't wait for you all to see me in my bunny costume!

I was a very good girl for pastor.

Toofies, Mobility & Food

So I wanted to update you on a few exciting things. First and foremost, I want to thank those of you who offered your opinions on my halloween outfit. I have decided to go with the bunny. I tried it on last week and although it's a bit much, I do look pretty cute! Second, I wanted you to know that I'm getting these things called teeth. My two bottom toofies are almost all the way in and they really hurt. They keep me, mom and dad all up at night. I try to be tough but sometimes the pain is more than I can stand :( Third, I'm really starting to discover some independence! One day mom wasn't watching me and I really wanted my pacifer. She apparently didn't hear me, so I went to get it myself. It was a little out of my reach, so I started scooting forward. Once I got going I was doing the army crawl! It won't be long until mom and dad chase me everywhere :) Finally, I am eating more solid foods. I have about had it with rice cereal and oatmeal. I'm actually eating stuff with flavor now - sweet potatoes, applesauce, bananas, pears and squash. I really like my new foods.

Mom's new haircut. No, she doesn't like it.


My favorite toy...paper!


Mom thinks I look cute in this towel and wanted a picture. I wanted to tell her "look it's cold after my bath and there's no time for pictures - get me dressed!"
