I'm sad to say that today I used my excersaucer for the last time. I've surpassed the maximum height, so it is time to fold it up for good! I haven't been using it much since I started crawling. I always enjoy it when I do though! I've got a lot of good memories that involve my excersaucer, so we decided to document my last spin in it. Also, below you can see the first time that I used it. I was 4 months old. What a difference 6 months makes!!
Obviously, these pictures are a few weeks old from when it was really chilly out. I just wanted to show you what my mom puts me through when it is cold out. I wasn't so sure that all of this was neccessary and I felt a little silly, but Mommy assured me that it was. I have to admit, I stayed nice and toasty on our stroll! I for one though, am thankful that the weather has warmed up again so that I don't have to endure this on a daily basis!
Stuffing my face!
"Yum. This is good!"
Of course, I had to rub it in my hair.
I didn't understand why Mommy was taking pictures of me eating, I do it all the time. Notice Mack in the background. I think he wanted some pizza too!
After this I was in need of a good bath!
Gran bought some new toys for me to play with while I was there!
Mack and I both had a great time exploring. There were so many new things to look at and play with!
Hanging out with Aunt Katie.
My first Thanksgiving! Once again I loved the turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce!
I got to play with my great grandparents, Pappy and Nana. I really wanted Pappy's hat!
Nana and Papa have lots of fun toys for Gabe and I to play with. We had a blast!
I love my new monkey from Nana and Papa! He sleeps with me every night now.
I was really trying to pull up to see what was in the toy bucket. Maybe next time we visit I can make it all the way!
Playing with one of the fun toys!
Playing with my spoon after dinner. 
When Mommy get me up in the morning she sometimes has her glasses on, which I love to pull off of her. The other morning she let me try them on. Don't I look smart?
Grandaddy and Suzanne came over to play with me last week. Grandaddy built me some great towers to knock down!!
When Mommy is cooking she lets me play with the tupperware. Now I know which cabinet it is in and I love to crawl over to it and pull everything out!
The DSL connection in the study just looks like it was put there for me to pull on. Whenever I'm in the study I make a beeline for it and Mommy and Daddy say "No, Anna." Sometimes that stops me, but most of the time I just can't resist. You'd think that they would get smart and put something in front of it!
If someone stands me up against the couch I can stay that way all by myself for about 10 seconds. That may not sound like a long time, but it sure feels like it to me! By the way, although it looks like Mack is being a sweet boy and cheering me on, he is just trying to eat the left over breakfast off of my sleeve. I have a habit of wiping my mouth with my sleeve while I'm eating. It makes quite a mess sometimes! 
Checkin' Davis out. 
I really wanted Davis' sock!
Davis had just woken up from a snooze. I bet he was wondering why I was trying to take his sock off!
He's so cute, I just want to squeeze him!
Can you tell which side of my head I was sleeping on? (I am really not going to like it if she takes pictures of my hair when I first wake up!)
One day it was kind of chilly when we went for a walk so I had to wear my hat. When we took the hat off this is what my hair looked like. Woah!
Sometimes when Mack is having a touble behaving himself (mostly stealing my toys and licking me) he has to have a little time out in his cage. I really feel sorry for him when this happens, so I have learned to open his cage and set him free! The first time it happened Mommy thought that I just accidentally opened it. I've proven several times though that it is no accident. I know exactly what I'm doing!
Hi everyone! Last Thursday I turned 9 months old! Can you believe it?? Only 3 more months until it's party time!! I went to the doctor for my check up and weighed in at 23 lbs. 2 oz. and was 30 inches tall. This puts me in the 97th percentile for both height and weight. Wow! The doctor said that everything looks great and hopefully I won't have to go back until my 1 year check up!
