Happy Birthday Grandma Nennie

Today is my Grandma Nennie's birthday!!! I'm not really sure what that means, but I heard they are awesome. I also heard that I have one coming up in a few months and I can't wait!! I was going to wish her happy birthday over the phone but she was out partying too late for this little girl. So here is your birthday picture. I love you Grandma Nennie.

So you think you can dance better than an 8 month old.

This week Colby has her 8 month check up. We got all the new measurements. She has been sick for the last week and hasn't been eating much, so we think that her weight is probably down a little. But here are her stats for 3.26.09

Height: 28 1/4 inches (88th %)
Weight: 18 lbs 13 oz (73rd %)
Head: 45 cm (75th%)

Seems she is starting to grow into that head. That is a good thing. I was afraid we would have a lollipop head baby.

Here is a new dance video put out by Ms Colby Collins Sawicki. We hope that you enjoy it. Sorry it's a little choppy. I'm still trying to figure out how to use iMovie.

Beat that!!

And for my next trick, I will grow a head of hair!

So my ever fashionable Aunt Carrie decided to help me out while my hair grows in properly.  Now, I told her I was on it, but she said this would smooth the transition to real hair and that no one would notice......Can you tell I am wearing a wig?  Be honest.....

My mom thinks I look like an extra from an adaptation of Oliver Twist or maybe a relative of my Auntie Maggie.  I am supposed to look like Donald Trump! Duh. 

Dancing, Dancing Baby Girl

So one day Colby started wiggling and dancing, so I started singing "Dancing, Dancing, Baby Girl" to a made up tune and she kept wiggling.  Now it is kind of a thing.  Check it out, she is pretty cute (shameless Mom comment, I know!).  Girl's got moves ;)

I got a case of the Scoots

Colby has been working on tummy time for a while now. She has built up her arm muscles so she has no problems lifting herself up and rolling over. Now we are trying to get into crawling. She can spin in circles and scoot backwards but forward is still a mystery. Here is a video of her scooting backwards on the hardwood floors. It is much easier to go backwards on the smooth floor. We are still pushing for forward, but this is a start.

Friends are the best!

As you all know, Elsa and I have been best friends since birth. She is so cool. She can crawl and walk and has the best toys. I love going over her house to play. She even share her toys that she just got for her birthday.

I have some new friends too, Emma and Ella. They live across the street and are both tons of fun. There is something a little strange about them, I can never tell them apart. But we hang out and have a good time.

We all get together on occasion to talk about new foods we have had, toys we like, clothes, and cool places we've been. You know, girl stuff. I think that I am very lucky to have all these beautiful ladies living so close by. We are going to have a blast growing up together.

I have a tooth. And it eats Ritz

CAN YOU SEE IT? That little white thing in the lower left side. Well if you can't, you will just have to take my word for it. It is little half tooth and it hasn't come in all the way yet, but it is there. And it hurts too, jeez who's idea was teeth anyway? And I only get one at a time? MAN!

But teeth do have their perks I guess. They allow me to eat Ritz crackers. Why did no one tell me about them before? They are delicious!!
