no voice, happy baby

So I got some crazy allergies here. They are driving me craaazy! I don't have a voice and am full of the wonderful little nasty men you see on tv in the Mucinex commercials. :( Not so much fun. And the baby doesn't know what to do with me. She's gotten used to me blowing my nose every 5 minutes, but the not having a voice thing makes her look at me like "You look like my mommy, but you don't sound like her, so I'm not sure if you are her or not..." which is a totally entertaining look. On another note, my dad was here for almost 2 weeks and it was so much fun! I never realized how much I miss that crazy man until he is here and then gone again :(. But he might be offered a church down here in AZ, so that would be fun (for me at least!). Having family closer than a plane ride away is something I thought I could only dream about....

OOh! baby note! She's been sitting up on her own for almost a month now, it's really fun! She had decided to skip the rolling over part and go straight to sitting up (until Sunday that is-pic to follow) and now that she can, she doesn't want to lean against anything. It's either sit up all the way or be held, and nothing in between. It's funny how she has such a distinct personality already. She is constantly making noises as well. Once she starts talking, I swear she will never stop! I might have to invest in Duct Tape stock!! :) hehe (just kidding...) Also, last night she decided to sleep twelve lovely hours solid. Oh, sweet, sweet sleep. Since the allergies have knocked me on my butt, it was so amazingly wonderful to sleep for 10 hours solid. I hope this is a glimpse of what is to come!! She is also in LOVE with mirrors right now. In our bathroom, there is a wall size mirror with both medicine cabinets being mirrored as well. I will take her in there and she will look back and forth between mirrors and looking at me personally and then switch and look through them all again, it's soo cute. She laughs the whole time too. Oh, she cracks me up! PS I called a bikini a zucchini when I was little.

But here are some more fun pictures to keep you picture people happy! :)

Lookie! I rolled over all on my own--in my sleep in my crib!
Mmmmmm... toes are the best!

A special smile in my Lion King PJ's for my Auntie Megan!
I am so smooth in my sunglasses!!

Yay for my new swing! I heart it!

I'm in my zucchini (right, mom?)
