So here I am, five months old, and as you've already seen, I can sit up like girl two or three months older than I am. 
And when you are as advanced as I am, you get to do things like ...
SIT IN A HIGH CHAIR!!!
Yep, that's right, I get to sit in the high chair like a big girl at the table while Resli and Mami and Daddy eat dinner. I'm so proud of me!
Look what I can do:
Yep, not even 5 months old and I'm sitting up all by myself!
Yippee!
No offense to my aunts and uncles, but I have no first cousins to play with. So I get very excited by my more distant cousins. This is my some-kind-of-cousin Evelyn, the daughter of my Mami's cousin Jen, and her husband Jim.
I got to meet Evelyn when we were in San Francisco. She likes pink and princesses, just like my sister does. We had a good time together, and I'm so happy to know another family member!
I forgot to mention a funny anecdote in my last blog post about California. When we were in the San Francisco airport waiting for our flight home, a woman came up to tell Mami how beautiful I was. (I'm used to this... >>humble blush<< ...) She said I should be the new Gerber baby, and asked Mami if I had an agent yet! Mami smiled and thanked her graciously, but I didn't see her whipping out the yellow pages to find me one. So thus began and ended my very brief shot at Hollywood!
Well, I must be the most well-traveled almost-five-month-old little girl there is! Mami and I just got back from another trip. This time, we spent four days in San Francisco, California, for Mami's CALICO Conference.
It was a long trip out there, but I was happy and playful and charming the whole trip.
We were traveling with Mami's friend Chris, and the first thing we did when we got there was take a walk down to the bay. You can't see it thanks to the fog and the cheap disposable camera, but the Golden Gate Bridge is there in the background. (I'm there in the stroller, too!)
We also saw lots of trolleys.
And lots of very big hills! (A word of warning for future San Francisco travelers: if the concierge looks at you like you're crazy when you say you want to walk down to the bay and back, even if it is only 2 miles, wonder why! These HUGE hills confronted us on the way back home at every turn!)
But then, back at the hotel room, we were able to kick back and relax a little, and enjoy the view of the city.
We had a great big bed that I talked Mami in to sharing with me!
Of course, I attended conference sessions as well. There weren't any changing tables in the bathrooms, so I had to have my diaper changed in between sinks - the indignities of travel!
We also got to enjoy some good food (well, I enjoyed mine by way of Mami...) with good friends. Here I am in a great little Mexican restaurant with my friends Bill and Lara.
But then, all too soon, the weekend was over and we were back in cabs, airports and airplanes. After a redeye flight, we spent some time in Atlanta during the dawn hours before making our connection. I was still pretty charming, in spite of being very tired.
And then we were back in Gainesville! And Resli and Daddy were at the airport waiting for us.
It's so great to be home. I love to see the world, but I think I'll stick around here for a while now.
Daddy says this is a picture of me and my sister celebrating our Irish heritage. He thought this was pretty funny, but I'm not sure St. Patrick would approve.
If you're looking for redeeming social value, I think there's a James Joyce book on the shelf behind me. Erin Go Bragh!
(and no, we weren't drinking, we're just always this silly.)
If a little girl who is four months old is:
Lately, I've been very interested in finding my feet.
Look, there's one!
GOT IT!
I'm so proud of me!
On Sunday we went to Jews-A-Palooza, the fundraiser for Resli's school. Mami had to volunteer to help out in Resli's classroom area, so I hung out on the bean bag chair for a while.
Our area was "The Jewish Home" (I know, what do we know about that?!?). Here I am learning about the Jewish holidays.
And of course, I had to try on a yarmulke!
Hi there! I've been kind of lazy about blogging lately, so I thought I'd catch you up with what I've been doing. Mostly I've just been, well, being lazy - as you see below.
Sometimes though, just to mix things up, I like to sneak up behind my sister while she's eating dinner. Daddy's very helpful with this. She has a little different take on this over on the big pink blog.
I'm also learning how to sit up by myself. This chair helps. But you know what? I'm four months old! Mostly I sit around and laugh and smile. Which makes Mami and Daddy and Resli laugh and smile. Hopefully it does the same thing for you.
This past weekend was my Granddaddy's 64th birthday. Since I can't really count, I'm not sure if that's a lot or not, but we took some great pictures of me with ...
Aunt Lizzie ...
Grandma ...
Cousin Bethany ...
Big sister Resli ...
Mami ...
And Aunt Sharon.
It sure was a busy day!
Hey, what does that sign say?
FOUR MONTHS OLD?!?!?
Oh, my ...
And I'm cuter every single day.
Although I still like to impersonate the Prime Minister from time to time as you see below.
