So Scarlett is really wrapped up in all the Vampire/Twilight stuff that's popular right now. No, she hasn't seen the movies or read the books, but I can tell she's really into it by this:
She's growing up so fast! These fangs came on Nov 30. She was fussy and kept waking up all night, but now I know it was just her teeth hurting her - poor girl. Last night when I was nursing she bit me - OUCH!!! She's even acting like a vampire!
She has no desire to crawl. She has her own method of maneuvering around the room, it involves: launching forward, army crawling, rolling over, sitting up, scooting, etc. Very elegant, but not very efficient. Since she's semi-mobile now, we've had to start baby proofing. Mostly putting everything on high shelves and vacuuming way more than before (she has eagle-eyes for any speck of trash on the floor).
She loves chatting. She loves singing with her Sing-a-ma-jig. She will talk to her toys. We've heard her say hi, pretty, red, yellow, and blue. Or at least really close to those words.
She loves books! Her favorite thing is to sit on my lap and turn the pages for me. She knows the pages flip right to left and when the book is done to turn it over and start again!
We put her hair in a ponytail for the first time. She looks just like Pebbles!
She is seriously enamored with Chumlee. He steals her attention away from everyone else in the room. She recently discovered that he loves to eat any of her snacks she drops on the floor. One day he even ate her crackers out of her hand!!! I think he was happy that all the times he let her smack/pull/grab him finally paid off (I must say, he is so patient... he just lays there while she plays with him until he's annoyed then he just walks away. What a good dog!)
I would also like to say how thankful I am for WordWorld. It's her favorite show and the only show she really sits and watches. She giggles and laughs everytime it comes on - then she'll sit and watch it for 30-60 min! I know it's bad to let your baby watch TV... blahblahblah... I think of all shows it's not that bad (it teaches her to read for cryin' out loud!) and it's really nice to have a break - it protects my sanity! So I don't think it's all that bad.
One other random factoid. We recently cancelled our Netflix. We weren't really watching movies that much and the new price hike just ticked Jake off. Instead we use that monthly money to buy storage space on Mozy.com. (that's were Jake is doing his internship right now). They are an online data backup company. After setting it up (which was easy) it monitors your drives and automatically copies any new stuff over to their servers. I can't tell you how much piece of mind it gives me knowing all our family pictures/videos are safe from fire/flood/computer issues/theft/etc. (one of my biggest fears is losing them)! Way more valuable use of our funds! So I would recommend you look into it if you have the same fears.

She loves eating puffs, drinking cold water from her sippy cup (mostly letting it dribble down her face - I think it feels good on her gums), and sucking on other baby melt-a-way snacks. Yesterday I gave her some of my banana and she went "yumumumum" while eating it, so I guess I'll add that to her list of foods.

Gracie was growing some fangs for a little while, but they haven't cut through.
Jen aren't you glad you saved her bff's life. I know I am.
So cute! I can't believe how big she already is!
I do have to say that the picture of her with fangs is a bit creepy. I may have nightmares. ;) BABY VAMPIRE!!
ahahahaha. Hilarious shirt.
Parker accepts the date invitation and was wondering if Saturday morning is good for Scarlett?
Hmmmm-I may have to look into mosy.com.
I know this is a novice question, but if we have Picasa 3; is that backing these up anywhere?
