Dollie Go Night-Night

My daughter did the cutest thing tonight! So I've had a rough time with her today, and luckily Gammy was able to take her for a bit. I'm just so worn out for some reason and I think Erin is grumpy and was being a bit of a pill today (But that's another blog insert).
Anyway, back on subject of cuteness! So it's bedtime and we (Chris, Erin, and I) go through our nighttime routine, minus the bath part because it was late and we had been out. So we changed her clothes, said our prayers, and gave her her medicine. Then it was time to lay her down. She still seemed quite awake, so I brought her her dollie and she held onto it tightly as we laid her down. Then she immediately sat up when she hit the bed, and I thought "Oh, great. Now she's gonna start crying and everything." But she didn't, she just grabbed her little pooh-bear-blankie-thing and started covering up her dollie. Then I thought she was going to stay seated but when I reached for her she laid down with dollie (covered with blankie) tightly in her arms. It was so sweet! I almost cried then and there. It brightened my day and reminded me of the good things. It is a great memory I will cherish (and look forward to her repeating again!).

Rattle The Cage

Erin loves her puppies so much, she loves tease the dogs by "rattling their cage" while their in it. Basically, she just stands and holds on with all her strength, but since her balance is still being worked on she slightly wiggles back and forth trying to maintain it. But it's majorly cute and the dogs just try to ignore it.

Coming soon

In a world where the best way to get cooled down is to jump into water, a little baby girl kicks her feet to stay afloat with some help from a smiley starfish.
Erin Elizabeth Rose is the Lil Swimmer, coming soon to a computer screen near you.

And here it is... the video we've all been waiting for:

Laugh and Play

Erin has some fun playing and "talking" to her Mrs. Sunshine and rolls over at the end.

This Week in Pictures

There were so many cute photo opps from this week, I just thought I'd share them with you:



She's finally keeping the sunglasses on her face and opening her eyes, so I had to take a picture of that:


She's asleep in dreamland:



She loooves (chewing) her bear:


Erin having fun with her mobile:









The Mother's Day roses Erin "got" for me at each Church service (we went to one on Saturday and another on Sunday):



Erin's talents follow her moms! She did that on her own (but for the picture we had to place it because I didn't have the camera on me when she did it the first time):

Hope you enjoyed them!

Johnny Jump-Up

Erin is loving her jump-up! Enjoy the video
She lines to have her arms down by her sides as well as chewing on it. The epitomy of cutiness!

Laughter

Erin laughed sooo long today, but we didn't get the video out in time, so I've been following her around with the flip for a while with little success. She loves watching the dogs play around, and has enjoyed the mirror. Enjoy the video, I'll post another of her laughing when we get her going for a long amount of time again.

McDonalds Baby

Yesterday I left Erin with Patty and Heather and they all had some fun together. I can tell Erin loves McDonalds already.

Erin as a Cheerleader

I totally didn't even know this video existed! Thank you Heather, it's so cute!
