CHATEAU MABILE

LOVE this picture. Hiding behind the ottoman, seizing Liam's moment of inattentiveness and chewing on the bulldozer, and then grinning like she knows she shouldn't be doing that. Ginny can crawl SO fast when she realizes Liam has left one of his toys in the floor.

Look at that little red nose. Remember those colds I told you about?

Greg and I can't help but to give our kids tons of ridiculous nicknames. It just sort of comes out of us. Liam had tons ranging from "Mr.Baby" to the sickeningly adorable "Wubbles" which stuck and is now shortened to "Wubs." How'd he get that? Well you'll have to wait until Liam day! Ginny's nicknames: okay so technically, Ginny, because her name is Ginny-Elizabeth but anyway... Gin-Gin, Gins, Gin, Ginny girl, Ginny the Penny, Penny, Pen, Gingerbread, Gingerbread house, Gingerbreads, Ginger, Ginger snaps, Ginny-Beth, Ginny-E, and baby G. Greg tends to go with Gin-Gin and Ginger Snaps while I favor Ginny-Beth, Gin, and Ginny girl. Liam tends to go with "Ginny Nooooo!"

She's ticklish, especially on her belly and feet. She loves a bath. She loves every food she has tasted so far with the stunning exception of watermelon. She loves pacifiers...to chew on. She is a very quiet baby...usually. The tv doesn't hold nearly the amount of fascination for her as it did for Liam. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but good Lord she's working on them. I've accidentally gotten her addicted to those little puff snacks...oops. She does NOT like riding in the car. Anyone laying is the floor is seen as a tasty treat and a fun climb. She loves to chew on a fistful of hair or a cheek and then crawl on top of you. She really is sort of a one-track mind lately. All she wants to do is crawl and pull-up. Today I saw her trying to start cruising. Oh dear.
