Bounce, Bounce, Bounce......


Tiana was a bouncing little Baby Barton today. A co-worker gave me a jumper similar to this one for Tiana to use. We hooked it up and Tiana was having a blast. Her little feet looked like the little penguin on 'Happy Feet'. She is so cute! And so much fun!

Tiana's Tights

A couple of weeks ago, my mom, the baby and I were at Panera Bread and we ran into a lady who had a 10 month old wearing what we thought we adorable little shoes. We got to talking to her and found out that they were actually socks that look like shoes! They were so cute that my mom decided she was on the hunt for them. Well, lots of money and adorable socks later (I'll post some pix of the socks soon), my mom also found some Minnie Mouse tights for Tiana. Here are a couple of pictures of her wearing them. Aren't they adorable!?! So, not only do they have the 'shoes' built right in but there is a Minnie Mouse on the outside of each ankle. Needless to say, Grammy had a blast dressing her today and everyone loved her outfit! :)

Update

Ok, so I owe everyone an apology...I haven't been doing as good of a job as I had hoped in keeping up with this blog but, in my own defense, I am a little busy. Just a little. Since my last post, we've moved, started school & work, are quite involved in all of our sports, bowling club, running club, working at the school post office, and trying to unpack and organize AND keep up with daily life. I tried to get on here the other night to post some pix and my computer is acting up so I'm having a tough time. Once I figure it out (or throw the computer out the window), I will post some new pictures.

Tiana is amazing. I am so in love with her and the boys are so good with her, we are truly blessed to have her in our lives! She has changed so much over the last 7 months! She is so much fun and is really coming into her own. The boys have this ability to make her laugh and laugh. It is so great to listen to! Music to our ears. :)

She started eating solids a couple of months ago and it has been a lot of fun seeing her reaction to various foods. Her favorites so far are sweet potatoes and prunes. On September 21st, her two bottom teeth came in and we recently gave her Cheerios and Vanilla Teething Biscuits. She loves gumming them and making a HUGE mess with the teething biscuits. She has also decided that she's done with the rolling over deal, she's moved on to rocking up on her hands and knees. Tonight she got one of her knees to move but hasn't quite figured out how to get her arms to go yet. It's so incredible to watch her think and try to figure things out. She seems to be growing up so much faster than the boys, I want her to slow down a little.
