Wedding Festivities

I attended my first ever wedding ceremony this past weekend....It was Mom's cousin L's wedding. These are a few of the fun activites I got to partake in. First I got to go to my first ever bachlorette party....there were some things there I can't even tell you about....Mom's says it wouldn't be appropriate, but I suppose I won't even remember when I get older. Mom and I just attended the pizza part of the party.....I guess the party after the party wasn't really for babies or for pregnant mommies.


You can see my new love of straws.....My Mom now carries them in my diaper bag for me!!!

I shared my first dance with Aunt B - she was part of the wedding party....so she was all gussied up just like me.

Mom and Dad even got dressed up for the occasion....I think I like wearing dresses or at least I know my Mom likes putting them on me.....except for the tights....what the heck is up with them, they are not at all like my socks....I just pull and pull and pull and they will not come off like my socks...they just keep getting longer and longer.

And everyone was carrying these flowers.....I thought they were truly intriguing and if someone would have let me...I think I would have like to taste them....but no such luck.
I even was sooooo lucky to dance with the bride....isn't she beautiful.....I did have my PJ's on by that point though, it was well past my bed time!!

Trouble - What Trouble??

So, my Mom thinks I always up to mischief now - just wait until I am walking!!!

The Love of a Smile

Winter has Arrived!!!

We woke up to a blustery snow blanketed morning.....first snow of the year, most of which is already melted away, but it was definitely a day to break out the winter coats and hats before we ventured out.

9 Months Old

A was 9 months old on Saturday......She is weighing in at 18 lbs. 6 oz and 28 inches long....still very long for her age, but slowing down significantly in the weight category. She began crawling about a week ago and boy has her world changed....so many new things to discover and get into.....so far her greatest love if she can find them is someone else's dirty shoes to chew on, the stairs, any sort of cord laying close to the ground and pulling DVD's off the shelf. She also has discovered clapping, waiving goodbye and showing us "how big" she is.

Pat-A-Cake

A's latest greastest entertainment is the infamous clapping game of Pat-A-Cake....for a while it consisted of grasping our thumbs and clapping our hands....in the last couple days she has just discovered she can clap her own hands.

A HURRICANE is coming!!

Does South Dakota have hurricanes?? Well not really....but looking at our outside window you would think that was the case. My Dad and Grandpa have been working all day to figure our continual water leak problem with the basement window....the window is out...and now they are having to dig out the window well too......whatever did they get themselves into???

A Swingn' Good Time

A had her first ride on a swing this past week....come to find out - she LOVES the swing!

Park Playtime

A, A & O enjoyed a great afternoon in the park.....and even stopped for a brief second to pose for a picture.
