This weekend, we put the infant tub in storage and let Mallory try her hand at a big girl bath in the regular tub. She did fabulous. She sat up on her own the whole time and loved it. There is much more room to splash in the big tub and a lot more toys. I have a feeling that bath time will become one of her favorite times.
Friday night we took Mallory to the 2009 Jazz and Rib fest to see the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Mallory had a great time and jammed all night long. Well, not really. She ended up falling asleep shortly after the band went on, but she still enjoyed being outside and people watching. Our friends Amber and Heath went down with us and Mallory loved playing with Amber. I think she has a new buddy.
Just a couple of pictures of Mallory the other night before bed playing on her changing table. Now that she is sitting up, she loves to sit up on her changing table and grab at the blinds on the window. Because of this, I can't turn my back for a second. However, she is getting better and better at her balance every day.
This is not what I sent Mallory to the sitters in today but this is what she was wearing when I picked her up. When I walked through Kristy's door and saw her sitting on the floor in this little number, I lost it. She looked Adorable. I had to snap some pictures when we got home. The thing about Miss "Kissy" (as the children call her) is that she tends to always have my child in clothing that I have never seen before. Thanks to many hand-me-downs and to the fact that she, herself will buy Mallory clothes, there are so many cute little surprises that I walk into. However, never anything quite as adorable and flashy as this. The best part about this little number is that the skirt is sparkly and shiny which kept Mallory's attention all evening. 
Ramona Morley just had her 81st birthday last week. Happy Birthday to an amazing Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother, and to just an amazing woman. We love you so much!!!
