Chargers vs Cardinals

We went to the football game this past weekend out in Glendale. Mommy and Daddy really wanted to take me to the game but were nervous and didn't decide for sure until the last minute. In the end, they decided to take me and we all got to go to the big game. When we first walked into the stadium all the noise was overwhelming for me and I cried a bit, but once we got to our seats Mommy just held me close and I manged to calm down. I still got scared sometimes when everyone cheered, but for the most part we all had a really good time. We had excellent seats just 6 rows back on the 20 yard line behind the Chargers' bench. Daddy and I wore our Chargers blue shirts and they even won that night! Mommy was sad that the Cardinals lost, but over all we had a great time and Daddy got some really neat pictures of the game.
Happy Father's Day Daddy!!

Mommy says Go Cardinals!

Hey, maybe this is fun!

Yay for football!!

Another Month Gone By

Well, it's been over a month and we've had a lot of fun things to do. I am now sitting up on my own with no problems and no help. I love to sit and play with my toys, but I still prefer to stand. I stand and play all the time, and only fall over every once in a while. I only need help to get standing, but once I'm up, I can balance pretty well. I am also starting to learn to cruise around just a little bit with some toys, or the couch, or the pews at church.

One of my favorite things to do with Mommy is to try and eat her face--especially her chin. Mommy calls them kisses, but I just think it's fun to slobber on her. I like to grab the sides of her face or her hair and pull her to me and then bit and drool all over her chin. Mommy says it's a good thing I don't have teeth yet!

One of my favorite things to do with Daddy is to play, play, PLAY!! Daddy and I have lots of fun things we do. I like to stand on his lap and jump up and down as fast as I can. I also LOVE to get tossed in the air by Daddy. This makes me laugh and laugh and laugh and is one of my most favorite things. Even when I am really fussy, I have to laugh when Daddy starts to toss me in the air.

Mommy and Daddy discovered that I like AC/DC music. Actually, it's one specific song--Thunderstruck. It was on the other night and Mommy started to sing the "thunder" part, and every time she did I laughed. Then Daddy joined in, and I just laughed even harder. Now it's sort of a game with us, and Mommy and Daddy will say "thunder" throughout the day, and every time they do I smile and then start to laugh.

I had my 6-month check-up last week. I am healthy and growing just fun. I got all my shots again, and got a bit of a fever the next day. But it wasn't as bad as last time, and now I don't have to go back until I am 9 months old! Also, the doctor said it's time for me to eat a variety of things now, so Mommy and Daddy have been having fun letting me try all sorts of foods--baby food and people food.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

This past Wednesday was Daddy's birthday. Mommy and I were very careful to make sure it was a nice and relaxing day for Daddy...sort of. Actually, Aunt Julie got engaged the weekend before so we had plans to go wedding dress shopping with her, Grandma Romney, and Aunt Melanie on that day. It was also our last time to see her before she goes back to school. We figured this would be a good thing for Daddy becuase he could sleep in and have a nice quite house for a little while.

Mommy made Daddy some breakfast the night before, so all he had to do that day was put it in the oven when he was ready to eat it. We also got him a video game he likes--Gran Turismo--hoping he could relax and play games while we were gone. Then that morning Mommy and I got up and went dress shopping!

Daddy did get to sleep in, but he had a busy day after that. He really likes to cook for people, and since Grandma and Grandpa Romney and Julie were in town he wanted to have everyone over for a BBQ and cake. So as soon as he got up he started making a very yummy lemon cake, then when everyone came over he grilled some hamburgers. We also had delicious baked beans and corn on the cob. It was a wonderful meal and it was so fun to celebrate with everyone. Even though he was busy cooking all the stuff, Daddy says it was a great birthday for him too.

He also got more presents--we got him an ice cream maker for his kitchen aid and a Ben and Jerry's ice cream recipe book. Daddy's favorite kind of Ben and Jerry's ice cream got discontinued this year, so Mommy decided this was the best way for him to still get his ice cream. And we got him a political book on tape, and some other fun things.

It was a busy day full of fun and family. Aunt Julie got a beautiful wedding dress, and Mommy had a great time with her Mommy and sisters that day. And in the end, we had a fun birthday celebration with Daddy.
Birthday's are fun!
