Picking up a few things...

While we have been in Texas, Tori has been picking up a few new things. For the first time she swapped hands with a rattle! It might have just been by accident, but she did it!!! Grandma Allen was very excited that she was the one to witness this new talent!
Tori has been learning how to stick her tongue out and blow to make raspberries. Grandpa Allen loved helping her develop this skill! Here is a video of our attempt to capture this phenomenon!!!
Tori has always loved her bath times (we have posted about that from the very start). But coming out to Texas, we had to leave her bathtub at home. So, she has been taking her baths in a big tub. We were a little worried that she wouldn't like it. Oh, there was no need to worry at all. She has absolutely loved having more room to kick and play and splash!
In celebration of Grandpa Allen's birthday, we were able to join in his traditional day of movie hopping. So Tori has now been to see her very first movie (The Blind Side) in a movie theater. Grandma Allen also enjoyed holding Tori through the entire show - those two have so much fun together!!!
Tori has been picking up quite a collection of photos being taken of her. I love all of the special moments that have been captured. Here is one photo that I absolutely love of her feet!!!
Tori has also picked up tons of new nicknames:
Uncle Douglas calls her Toridactyl and Torihor.
G Gma Jones calls her Tori Bear. I think this one is so cute because her nickname for Jared is Jare Bear!
Uncle Alec calls her Toi Toi and Tori the Torin.
Grandpa Allen calls her Tor Head.
And our most favorite - Uncle Dillon calls her Torsinator, or Tors for short. But he has made it very clear that he is the only one that can use this fabulous nickname - I think we all forgot this stipulation a few times!!!
And last of all - Tori has also picked up one killer poker face!!!!
