Beautiful Baby Contest!!!



We entered our Nik in a contest at a local Radio Station in our home town.  Actually, it's the only station I listen to EVER in my car, 107.7 THE BULL!!  They play the best country and a great mix of new and old music!  Big D and Bubba in the morning always make the ride to work that much better-they always make me smile and laugh!  Nik loves to dance and sing in her car seat with me. She loves Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Jason Aldeen, Gretchen Wilson, Martina McBride, George Strait to name a few, just like Mommy.  She sure is a country girl, she just grew up in the Midwest!

You can vote for her by, Facebooking (you have to be a member) 107.7 The Bull, "liking" the radio station, and then if you scroll down, the left sidebar has the rounds of voting for the contest. Nik is in the last round, Round 7, at the bottom of the page.  You vote by "liking" her photo.

I entered her in a little late, and so she's running behind...;( I think you can vote everyday.  She sure would love your support;) So would I, pretty please!!!!;) XOXO

You can vote HERE!!!

Nik Update: Nik is SO into learning lately!!  She is loving learning the names and sounds of all the animals/objects in her  picture books. She is adapting to sign language so quickly and already knows, milk, more, finished, tired, change, butterfly, shark, aligator/crocodile, bug, tiger, book and balloon.

She will bring her book to me, and sign what she knows. I have to say it is such a relief that we can communicate on some level, as she has been extra fussy lately because she is so close to talking, but she just is not quite there yet. I know she is taking it all in though. She understands what we say bc she does exactly what we say when we say something or direct her somewhere.  She has so much she wants to say, but I'm afraid that at this point most of it comes out in jabber, shrieks, grunts, screams, and frustrated pointing, reaching, and gestures. 

I can't wait for her to take all these steps, I LOVE every minute, and just want to soak as much of it in as I can.  It's so hard to be away from her, I miss her terribly;)

Today we caught a couple bugs in a bug catcher, and she signed bug, it was so cute!  She was loving it!

And she shoved two huge chicken nuggets in her mouth at dinner and walked around that way for about 10 minutes, until they crumpled into nothing, ha!
