This Baby Loves the Water...

There is nothing better than hanging out in the water...in the bath, in the pool, I just really love it all! One of my favorite parts is snuggling up after getting wet!

Here's my favorite part...diving into the pool when Daddy catches me!

New Year...New Food...

Thank goodness I got my appetite back. I still have a long way to go, but I am enjoying all the flavors! It's hard to keep it in my mouth - how do grown ups do this?

Kerry is teaching me to drink out of a straw. I'm not so sure about this yet...

Things just taste better when I put it in my mouth all by myself.

We call this video "Asparagus is Funny". I sure do love my asparagus, and when Daddy is with me, everything is funny. I learned to say "mmmm" after putting things in my mouth - seems to make mama and daddy laugh - whatever floats their boat!

It's a New Year!

It was a rough end to my first year...I had a cold for weeks, runny nose, even my eye had a cold! I lost my appetite - the works! (well, not the works, no cough or stomach problems - whew!). But I never stopped smiling!
Now I'm back to my old big-eyed self. Watch out new year, I'm coming!!!

Daddy is Teaching Me All Kinds of Things!

Chicago - again!

I'm a little late blogging about this, but this was so great, I can't leave it out. We got to go to Chicago again - this time with Ben and Kendra. Here is Kendra holding me as watched a band play. I was memorized...they let me use a shaker, like I was a band member!
We stayed in a beautiful hotel - way up high over the river. There was a perfect "people watching" spot for me.

Sure was hard to get to sleep when there was so much going on!

Christmas in Colorado

After getting home from Michigan, we had Christmas in Colorado. It started off with some reindeer cheer. Lots of good food...

I got so many nice gifts - including my first baby doll. She even came with a stroller.

By the endof the night, the brother-in-laws were getting crazy - chugging contest with huge bottles of vodka...ha!

Christmas Day 2009!

We flew home on Christmas Day. Here we are in the airport - waiting for the flight. I was REALLY tired! When we finally made it to Ohio for our connection, I was pretty spacey - sleeping on and off while traveling is not the ideal was to get some rest. But we had fun!

Opening presents was a busy time. I loved my new shakers right away!
