Feb. Happenings

The month of February brought us some wonderful things:

Baby L's 1st birthday bash

Family Coming into town

Story Time

Fun with Friends

Gymboree

1 Year Pictures

Thank you to our amazing friend Linda from Social Butterfly Photography for taking Baby L's 1st year pictures! We couldn't be happier with how they turned out!

We are still in awe that you are a year old already. You are gaining such an amazing personality, that makes us laugh daily. You are definitely keeping us on our toes, as you are learning to get into everything. The other day you decided to stand on your train to pull yourself up and get something off the table!!

Clothes:between 18-24 months

Favorite Foods: Pretty much anything you can get your hands on! Especially green beans, yogurt, steak, chicken, etc. I don't think there is anything you have tried that you don't like, so we are very grateful you eat well!

You just got your 4th tooth not long after your birthday! So two on top two on bottom, hopefully more will be on the way soon!

Even though you don't say much besides daddy and the occasional mama.You comprehend things very well such as: getting a ball, book, putting your clothes in the hamper, picking things up and putting in baskets, waving hi and bye, and blowing kisses (which

is an absolute favorite of ours) etc.

Favorite Toys:Playing with Kena, books, balls, stuffed animals, Rockin Elmo, and baskets, remotes, and phones are still on the top of your list.

You learned how to climb up things at Gymboree class, and your favorite thing in class is pushing the air log! Sometimes, I wish we had one at home because I am almost certain you would push it back and forth till you couldn't stand anymore.

This month you got to visit with your Grama Mary, Grama and Grampa, and Great Grama and Grampa from California. You also got to go to your friends bday party, story times around town, and you were lucky enough for Auntie Linda to take your 1 year pictures!

We are so glad you have blessed our lives in so many ways over the past year, and we can't imagine the joy you will continue to bring!

Love you to the moon and back,

Daddy & Mommy

1st Birthday

We had such a blast celebrating Baby L's 1st birthday. We enjoyed an afternoon with family, friends, food, and a paint party from Tiny Impressions for the kids. A HUGE thank you to everyone who came and/or sent their love and gifts as well. Baby L was spoiled by all, and by looking at the pictures I'm sure everyone had a good time.

Ready for the PARTY!

11 month letter

Dear Baby L...

We can't believe you are already 11 months old, and we are planning your 1st birthday party! You are growing into such a funny, loving, and crazy little girl.

You still only have two teeth, and another just barely coming in, however, you eat like a champ! You are eating pretty much everything we eat, and you absolutely love chicken, steak, and of course your green beans.

Clothes Size 18 months (at least)

Favorite Toys: You love playing with the dog toys and think its hilarious when mommy and daddy throw the toys for her. It is absolutely adorable how hard you laugh and how fast you run, when we tell you she is going to get you!

Your love for books still amazes us you will sit and look at books by yourself and have us read to you as well.

Balls, buckets, and bags to carry around are also on the top of your list

You always love going outside, especially when daddy is BBQ! I think you would live outside if we let you, you definitely throw a fit when it's time to come inside.

This month you went to your first Disney on Ice Show Toy Story 3. I was so proud, you sat rather still for such a long time, and only fell asleep the last 15 minutes! I see a lot of these shows in our future, which is fine by me.

We Love you Forever and Always,

Daddy & Mommy

Happy 1st Birthday to our Sweet Little Angel!!

Her day was spent shopping, picking up her cake for the party tomorrow, getting spoiled by everyone, and then a BBQ with the family. We are so happy her other Grampa & Grama, and Great Grama & Grampa came from California too.

Today, Grama got to babysit while I went to work. Only thing is the little miss, did not want to nap. So, she literally played and played till she fell over, then I got this pic....

Hooray, Grama came to town last night. Since Baby L was already asleep, today was her first day to hang out with Grama. So, after I got off work, we went shopping and Baby L got reacquainted with Grama!

Baby L got to hang our with grampa while I ran a bunch of errands on my day off. She also, got her Christmas presents from belle belle, uncle Frankie, John, Josh ( don't judge it's because of our crazy work schedules)! She absolutely loved the books and her new fridge phonics set!

Just opened her new barn book!
