24 Weeks...Doing big girl stuff like getting baptized!

I am really losing my baby-ness!  I am starting to get on a nap schedule, at least in the morning.  Usually about two hours after waking up, I am ready for about a 1 1/2-2 hour nap.  The afternoons are a little harder.  I tend to take two one hour naps.  I am also sleeping a little better at night.  Sometimes I scream in the evenings because my teeth hurt though. 
I am really grabbing for everything too-Mommy's hair, cell phones, leaves on the trees, whatever in in front of me!  Sometimes I even get it too and don't like to let go.  Another big thing I am learning to do is sit up on my own. I also think I am ticklish.  Mommy tickles my sides and it feels funny so I laugh.
We did a lot of fun things this week too!  I went with Mommy and Ellie to Ellie's preschool reunion party and got to watch all the kids.  Ellie's friend's brother Blake held me and he did a pretty good job.  We got to go to a singing performance at the library too.  Mommy took Ellie and me to Kirksville where she went to school.  I either slept or cried most of the time though.  We really went there to visit Mommy's friend Stacey and Jaxson and Harrison.  That was a lot of fun.  We went as a family to a party for Daddy's work too.  His boss' daughter Harper held me the whole time.  We really liked each other and I talked like crazy to her!
The big news of the week was that I got baptized!  Kristy and Randy were my godparents.  My grandparents came for the occasion too.  It was a really good day.
