Cold January, 7 months old and teeth!

We went to see Granny a couple of weeks ago, to do "Christmas." Vivian was happy to see her and got to sit in her high chair and chew on a teething biscuit. She seemed to like it especially since it was messy.

Vivian liked the car that Granny gave her and likes to sit in the high chair and play with it.

Vivian is eating more food now and likes to get really messy. The WVU shirt that Moocham gave her looks really good!

The weekend after Granny's house, we were off to VA to see Holly and her new baby Mia. She likes to sleep that's for sure. Vivian had a good time seeing all of her mommy's friends.

Mimsie gave Vivian a really neat rocking bear for Christmas or her birthday or just for fun? She seemed to understand the rocking and had a fun time. She will really like it once she is tall enough to rock by herself.

It snowed a little bit here (about 1") so Vivian's daycare was closed. We got to stay home with her and show her some of the snow. She didn't really think much of it. She got to feel it and seemed to like it, but it was really cold so we couldn't stay out too long. There also wasn't much there to play in anyway.

The weather warmed up last weekend  and we went for a walk before the disappointing Superbowl. All she had to wear was her Bengals jersey to get in the spirit. The Bengals would have done better than the Broncos though. She didn't make it to kick-off, she was off to bed since she won't take naps during the day.

Vivian turned 7 months old yesterday. She is so curious these days and likes to grab everything so the monthly photo session didn't work out too well. Here is all I could get.

Vivian's first tooth came in a couple weeks ago shortly followed by her second. It almost seems that she will have more to come soon. She is growing up so fast. She used her teeth this morning to take a couple of bites right off of a banana. 

Christmas Tour and 1/2 Year B-day

We went to Cincinnati and WV for Christmas. We got a huge Suburban, which made packing and the drive much easier. Vivian did really good riding in the car for 8 h, then 5 h, then 7 h. She only got fussy a couple times when we were coming down the mountains and her ears needed to pop.

It was good to see everyone in Cincy, Brian, Morgan, and Brooke were excited.

We got to see Brooke play an indoor soccer game and she scored!

It did snow a bit on Christmas eve morning, but it didn't stick around too long.

Vivian was glad to meet all her relatives. She was smiles during the day, but not so much at night. She had a cold and couldn't get used to sleeping away from her crib.

We went to the mall and she was happy to see Santa. We got there just in time to only wait 20 minutes while he was on break. During that time Vivian pooped her pants, but we didn't have time to change them, so she had a half smile on Santa's lap since she had poopy pants and was a little tired.

Got into the Bengals spirit with a baby jersey and also played some lunar golf at the mall. It was pretty fun, with some cool looking colors.

Morgan liked pushing the stroller.  

Vivian had a good time with everyone at the mall!

The dogs got to meet Boomer and they liked him. Dooley and Sammy weren't too sure about Brian's dog Bella for some reason. Dooley just wanted to bark at her. He is going through a weird phase I think. 

Although everyone had some sort of sickness, Vivian brought out smiles in everyone especially Mimsie and Dianne. Vivian really liked Brian and Maurice's beards.

We got some good photos in front of the tree. Brooke and Morgan are getting so big! (or grown up, haha)

We were pretty tired Christmas morning after not much sleep on Christmas eve. Santa still came with the presents though.

Brooke liked the silly shower caps that Mimsie gave all the ladies. And they were really happy about the minion slippers (although they arrived a day late) and Dispicable Me 2 DVD.

Sammy found a new friend in the basement...

We made it to WV on the 27 and we were happy to see everyone. We finally got to meet Coraline after almost 2 years. She liked her WV sweatshirt from Moocham.

Liam had fun crawling around with his slid crawl (on hardwoods) and normal crawl (on carpet).

Vivian and Liam were glad they got to see each other at Christmas time.

We stayed at Mary, Craig, and Joey's new house (the Villa) with Domsie. It is such a nice big house and had a great time.

Sammy and Nate got along on the porch, Dooley wanted to bark at Nate as well. Maybe because he is so HUGE!

Vivian liked Domsie.

When we returned home we were so tired. We had a good time seeing everyone, but it was nice to be home. Vivian is no longer sick and is sleeping better again (7-12 hours at night) and is now 6 months old! She was tired for the photo session this time and wanted to eat the chalk board. She wants to grab everything these days.

She started at her new day care last week and really seems to like it. They said she liked the excersaucer there so we put her in our Jumparoo. She had fun in that.
