Saturday playtime

One Saturday in July..can't really remember when..Tori and Mama had a fun relaxing day just playing. We got up and went to our friend Molly and Gianna's house. The girls are starting to actually play and interact with each other so playdates are getting more fun! The rest of the day we just played at home but it was so much fun!!

A night of friends and blues

Zona Rosa shopping center has free concerts on Friday nights during the summer..Mama and I went to listen to a blues band a few weeks ago. We met up with some of our favorite girl friends too!!


Miss Kayla


Auntie Patty (no relation but she is a great Auntie)

Auntie Amy came to but she doesn't hold me yet so I don't have a picture of her from that night.

Tori listening to blues music and watching the leaves blow on the trees


Auntie Patty and Tori dancing to the music!

Sippy cup in training

Tori started practicing how to use her sippy cup when she started sitting in her high chair at 5 months old. It wasn't until recently (6months) that we actually put something in it. We have given her 1 ounce of milk in it a few times. She hasn't really figured out that there is something in there to drink but she does drink it a little bit!

mmmmm food

We have an eater! We are pretty sure Tori would eat herself sick if we would let her. Here are some pictures of her trying new foods..I am sooo behind I don't know what food is what but I do know these are new ones :)

4th of July..woah I am behind!

4th of July was spent at GiGi and Papa's lake (Bull Shoals). We stopped in Nixa to see Great Grandma and Grandpa Smith on our way down to the lake. We stayed 3 days and Tori loved every minute of it. She got to meet a lot of new people who love her and wish she lived closer to them. She played with her friend Ryder, played Phase 10 with her Daddy and friends, she swam in the lake like a fishy (didn't take the camera with me - boo for mommy), and she slept like a baby (no pun intended) she even slept through the firework show!!

6 months old!

A wonderful fish and shrimp tacos dinner prepared by my wonderful husband on Tori's 6 month birthday! It was soooo yummy I had to take a pic :)
