Being silly

Mother's Day

Hard to believe I didn't even know Gemma last year. She's been here for only 6 months, and yet life without her seems like an eternity ago. Yesterday was Mother's Day, and what an honor it is to be Gemma's mom! Being a mom has given me a whole new love and admiration for my own mom.

We're teaching her to read early

She's a pro at sitting up now, and so darn cute!

Cuddling with mommy and sporting her Mizzou pjs

Cabinet test

The kitchen cabinets don't lie...she's definitely getting bigger.

Bouncing

Until recently she hasnt' liked her jumperoo at all...I think she finally figured out what she was supposed to do.
She has started teething, and last night was really rough. Daddy had to run out at 2:30 a.m. to buy some Tylenol, and I only managed to get 3 hours of sleep. Once she had a little Tylenol, she slept great and of course woke up all refreshed and happy...I wish I could say the same for me.

Easily entertained

Gemma has a new favorite toy. Small, easy to hold, easy to put in mouth, makes noise...What's not to love!

Easter

I had to sing for Easter service so I was gone from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. Daddy had to get Gemma ready in her easter outfit all by himself...which included tights! He did a fabulous job! She looked as cute as a button and he even got to church on time. I'm excited for next year when she can actually participate in an easter egg hunt.
