Somebody is going through a growth spurt, teething pains, nap strike, cranky pants are too tight something.  Not very much makes this sweet lady happy right now.  She's always hungry, always chewing wait....BITING everything.  You can't see anything on the gum line so who knows.  Did somebody give us a pair of cranky pants for a shower present?  We have our moments where she sweet and plays like normal, but a lot of the time we are listening to her cry.  We try so much and OY!  The days are getting shorter noticably, maybe she can tell the difference? Mommy gets cranky when the sun leaves for such long times at night. 

And if you *did* give us a pair of cranky pants, can we have the reciept so we can exchange them for something else?

She has really been fighting sleep lately!  Really, really fighting sleep.  This afternoon, she was so tired, she started falling asleep sitting up.  Here's the video for it.  Short and sweet.

The last few days, Sonyea has decided that the green beans are ok.  She doesn't scarf them down like she does the cereal or sweet potatoes though.  She's eating so much more now.  She gets a mix of cereal and a fruit in the morning.  She gets her veggie at night.  And sometimes when her feeding schedule is thrown off, she'll get more cereal at night before her last bottle. 

She is doing so well the last few days.  Keeping me laughing.  She is practicing really hard to crawl.  Not really going anywhere though.  She can go backwards until she runs into something.  She tries really hard up on all fours and rocks.  It's the cutest thing.  She also just loves to watch Vicky. She thinks that crazy dog is the funniest thing around since Daddy! 

As you read on the front page, Sonyea is getting a sippy cup now.  She is learning how to use it and we had wasted a lot of sticky apple juice with it.  We are now using water and she is practicing staying cool as well.  More of the water ends up on her shirt and in her lap than in her belly.  It's ok, that's how we learn!

There is also a picture on the fun facts page.

Grandma Marlene and Grandpa Ron came into town to visit us for the Spiedie Festival and Balloon Rally this weekend.  You'll have to check out the montage mommy made of all the balloons taking off.  We were in awe.  For those of you who are not around here, Spiedie's (pronounced speedys) are a marinaded meat, chicken, pork, beef, lamb, whatever and put on a piece of italian bread.  Anyways, we ran into Grandpa John and Grandma Lois.  We hung out with them for most of the night.  It was great fun.  We also met Aunt Leslie and Gary for the first time, Sonyea just woke up so she was a little confused.  We also saw Grandma Patty and Skully.  There was record attendance for Saturday.  You should have seen the line to meet and greet the Cheetah Girls.  Crazy!  Mario Lopez was the guest on Sunday, but we didn't go to that.  Mommy remembers him from when she was a kid watching "Saved by the Bell." 

Since Sonyea doesn't have any teeth yet, she was not allowed to taste any spiedies.  All the grown ups did though.  We'll, Grandpa John had a gyro because he didn't want to stand in line for a spiedie.  Check out the fun facts page for what Sonyea did over the weekend. 

Grandma Marlene gave Sonyea her try of carrots tonight. In fact, she liked them so much, she ate the entire tub.  That was one big tub of Gerber carrots!!  She was a mess too.  Will have to wait for pics.  Spiedie Fest tomorrow and Sunday.  Should have more fun pics.

Grandma let me get very messy!  I'm not usually this messy with mommy though.  It was fun!

Sonyea slept much better last night.  She went to sleep about 9pm and woke up around 3ish, but she put herself back to sleep in no time.  She was up for a feeding about 5:30am and then went right back to sleep.  She woke up for the day at 9:30 and was playing in her crib for almost a half hour.  Mommy didn't get much sleep during that half hour.  When Mommy checked on Sonyea she was banging her legs on the mattress and making the mobile animals bounce around and she thought that was pretty funny.  It was super cute.  Daddy had to move the mattress down in the crib because last week mommy checked on Sonyea and she had both her hands on the top rail of the crib.  We don't want any babies falling out of the crib and getting hurt.  Sonyea didn't seem to notice the change either. 

Did you know that sweet potatoes turn your poop orange? 

The weather outside is getting hot.  We are going to go to the grocery store for more sweet potatoes and go swimming.  We are looking forward to that!
