My Sweater From Mommy

Before I was born, my mommy made me a sweater to keep me warm in the cold weather. Although the sweater was sized 0-3 months, it was too big for me during my first few months. I guess mommy used a little too much yarn! Now that the weather is getting cold again I tried on my sweater and it fits! Don't I look adorable in it...

Seven Months Old

I had another very exciting month. I am sitting up all by myself now! It is so much easier to play now that I can sit up. One day I even figured out how to sit up from laying on my tummy all by myself. Now I do it all the time. I like to prop myself up on my hands and knees too, but just haven't put it all together to actually crawl yet. I am getting really close though and mommy and daddy are getting ready for me! I have a really soft and fun playmat now where I can safely practice all of my moves. My favorite toys are my exersaucer and Pie (a little rubber squeaky toy). I never get tired of playing with Pie! I went apple picking for the first time this month and started some new mommy and me classes with my mommy. I love my classes because I get to listen to music and play with my friends. Here are some pictures from my seventh month. I even thought I'd show you a few pictures of me with some of my baby friends...

My Day at Shea

Today I went to Shea Stadium to see the Mets play. This is the last season the Mets will play there and my daddy really wanted me to see Shea Stadium while I still can. I had a great day. There was so much to see and all of the Mets fans were so friendly. It is official that I am a fan. Let's go Mets!

My 6 Month Birthday

I am half a year old! I am doing so many fun things. I have gotten better at eating food since my first taste a few weeks ago. Although I've eaten a few different foods, rice cereal is still my favorite. I'm also starting to drink from a cup with help from mommy and daddy. I try to bring my cup to my mouth by myself although it sometimes hits my eyes or nose instead. I will get there. I am rolling everywhere. I can get to any toy I want to by rolling. I even like rolling when mommy and daddy are changing my diaper! I am starting to figure out that it is fun to scoot to get where I want to be too. I have had so much fun this summer going to the park and walking all around the city with mommy and daddy. I like to look at everything. Mommy and daddy can't believe six months have gone by already. I am becoming such a big girl!

My First Try at Cereal

Today was a really big day for me! I tried solid food for the first time. Mommy and daddy knew it was time because it is getting hard to keep me away from their food when they are eating. I really liked my first few bites right away. I didn't even hesitate and was reaching for more as soon as a bite was swallowed. I didn't finish my whole bowl because I started to get a little fussy after a while. This is all brand new to me after all! But mommy and daddy are sure I will become a big fan of real food very quickly.

I am 5 Months Old!

This was such an exciting month for me! My biggest news of the month is that my first teeth came in. I have two new teeth! I am not really using them to eat just yet, but I am getting ready. I put everything in my mouth and I watch mommy and daddy very closely when they are eating. The doctor says that I can start eating when I am six months old, so I have one more month to go. I am also becoming really mobile. Mommy and daddy can't look away for even a minute anymore, because I might roll across the room. Just this week I have started to really laugh when mommy and daddy do something funny. I used to laugh once in a while, but now I have figured out how much fun it is to laugh more and more. Mommy and daddy tell me that this is the best sound in the world. I have also started sleeping on my tummy. Now that I am good at rolling over, this is my favorite way to sleep. I took my first vacation this month too and also my first cab ride. Hope you like looking at my pictures from my fifth month!

My Outer Banks Vacation

Mommy and Daddy drove me all the way to North Carolina for my first vacation. They were so proud of what a great job I did during the long car ride! I had a really great time. Grandma and Grandpa Scerbo were there along with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was great to spend time with everyone on the beach and at our beach house. I especially loved my long walks and naps on the beach. And feeling the sand and water on my feet was really fun too. I already miss playing with my cousins.
