Some more dadadadada's

Tori playing with a Valentine's day balloon. She loves this thing! She just sits and tugs on the string and stares at the balloon for 10-15 minutes at a time.

Video Star

We got a new digital video camera a few weeks ago and we've been going crazy documenting every cute thing Tori does (which of course there's so many that we've taken tons of videos). Here are a few of the cute things she's been doing.

We got Tori a little walker and she's loving it. This video was taken her first day in it, when she figured out how to move forward. She can only reach with her tippy toes but if you push her a few feet back she walks to you with a huge smile and giggles. She's so proud of herself! Today (her second day) she has already learned how to buzz around all the tiled floors and to turn in it. This is her absolute favorite thing to do right now.

Dada!!!

Tori started saying dada yesterday in the grocery store! Now she strings them all together, dadadadadada. Brian couldn't be more excited. Yesterday was a big day, she also cut her third tooth and drank from a sippy cup for the first time.

Bubbles!!

One of Tori's new favorite things to do when on the floor is roll over to your shoes and try to untie them :) She thinks its so funny!

We're running out of indoor activities... Who knew a laundry basket could be so much fun? We're so ready for some warmer weather so Tori can play outside!

City Museum

We spent an afternoon at the City Museum in STL. The name is pretty deceiving because this place isn't like any museum you've ever been in! It's full of places to climb in and explore. Tori was worn out, she was asleep before we even left the parking lot.She napped on the way to her first chick-fil-a!! Yum yum!

Six Months!!!!!

I can not believe that Tori is already six months old! What an amazing journey! She has changed our lives so greatly, it's already hard to remember life before she was here. I love watching her change and go through all the little phases. She is getting such a personality. She's such a little explorer, she can roll all over a room now and check out everything within reach. She smiles and giggles at the dogs, especially when they're tussling (she loves to watch them play). She loves to eat! Her favorite foods are strawberry yogurt, fresh pineapple bits, baby oatmeal, and peaches. She hates squash and makes the funniest faces when you try to get her to eat it. She still sleeps about 11 hours overnight and takes 3 naps during the day but we have been slowly going down to 2 naps lately. She's such a happy baby, we're already forgetting how hard those first few months were. She made us a family and we love her so much!

I think I felt a bump......oh, sorry daddy!! Haha Brian provides hours of endless entertainment.

Yum yum, crab legs!She can hold herself up in crawling position for a few seconds but tends to roll instead of trying to go forward. This lip is how she'll get her way when she's older ;)

So sleepy!

She's such a dainty drooler!

We built a castle a few days ago. Princess Tori and her loyal subjects played inside for about an hour. Daddy crashed the party.

Standing at her table full of toys. This thing plays over 50 songs and speaks english and spanish, it's pretty impressive!Mommy and Tori playing on our laptops :)

My First Teeth

Both of Tori's bottom middle teeth have come in! They're still hard to see but they're getting bigger every day. She cut them a week apart and they made her so sick! She's had a double ear infection, a sinus infection, and thrush in the past month. We're finishing up our second round of antibiotics and she seems so much better now. I'm so happy to have my little cuddle bug back.

Rolly Polly

Little Miss Tori has learned how to roll to what she wants to play with. Yesturday I was pumping in her nursery and I had her lying on her belly on the blanket. She started on the corner farthest from the window and over about 15 minutes rolled a good 6 feet to play with the curtains. I couldn't believe it! I loved watching her face as she figured out she was moving all on her own. Today she saw a toy a few feet away and went for it! Its too funny to watch. We're working on getting a video to post.
