She is my biggest baby yet....28 inches long and 18.9lbs Wow that's a big one for us. She stood up about 5 days ago, she'll be walking soon.

She loves playing with simplest things...a damp was cloth (she even likes the tag), Ribbon, a pimento jar with an ice cube and water in it, she loves going outside, she loves chickens and cats, she loves to swing.

She's such a sweet baby.

happy baby


sitting at the table with the big folks in her high chair for the first time.


I like Birthday parties!



My daughter wrote this poem about her today...



A Baby's Face


There is something about
a baby's face

That makes it quite
a kissing place

The cheek's are warm
and plump and round

And cuter too
than any found

I love the eyes
so bright and clear

because they always bring me cheer

And the little lips
so often wet

With the baby smiles
I'm often met

Something so sweet
with smiles nice

I have to kiss
just once or twice

With our baby
I find this true

And with your own
you should too.

To baby Melody

Love from your sister Amie

Look at this!

Yesterday at age 8 months 1 week exactly Melody stood up and grabbed onto a kitchen stool and walked across the living room floor. We filmed her and had her do it over and over again, she never tired of doing it. My little girl is strong and full of energy. She's bigger than my other children were at this age and progressing faster too. Shes so much fun.

We tied her dress in a knot in the middle of her back so it would not get in her way, and we could grab the knot if she began to fall. ;D



Look at her go....
