Happy New Year!!!

We went to our annual Benihana dinner with our friends and little one loved all the action! She was fast asleep by 7pm. Hope everyone has a healthy and prosperous 2011!

A Blessed Christmas

As most of you know we had an eye opening Christmas but also the best Christmas ever as Papa came home on Christmas Day! Talk about a wonderful gift! Little one had a wonderful time opening gifts, although she is still unsure of the unwrapping process. She has plenty of toys and new clothes! Little one and I hung out a few extra days to help around the house (well me, little one charmed the grandparents and her uncle).

The family, less Daddy. He had to go back home to get ready for the work week.

So sweet...batting her eyes at Papa!

A Special Christmas

Every year is a special year but this year is extra special. We were blessed with Grandpa and his health on the road to recovery! Hug your Daddies!

We love you Daddy!!!

2 Days

Today was not a camera day for the little one! The dress is pretty cute. It is a reindeer with Christmas lights and her monogram. You can almost see it.

Tres Dias!

The candy cane was much more interesting than Mom!

4 Days!

5 days and a Horsey

The only way a picture was going to happen today was in the form of a video while she played with her Christmas horsey. This is probably one of those videos that only the parents think is cute, but enjoy anyways! Happy Holidays!

5 DAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

Countdown to Christmas...6 Days!

Little miss will be dawning a different holiday outfit as we count down to Christmas, so be sure to check back daily!

We attempted to take a picture with Bella and C but this is how it ended...neither one cooperated

11 Months

Better late than never right? Baby girl is into everything and starting to climb on everything as well. She likes to play peekaboo herself now, puts objects away, dances a lot, babbles the day away, cutting another tooth, starting to really like her puppy dog, understands "no" or "leave it," most of the time and tries to make a kissy noise...sometimes!

Yes, those are her I love Daddy jammies!

A Mischievous Baby

While daddy was out and about little one decided she was ready to open presents already! When she looked up at me she smiled and took off. Mischievous little thing!

Spending some quality time with Miss Bella Stella

Some more bonding with papa

So much love to give to Grandpa! She would not let him out of her sight without balling her eyes out.

The stare off with Uncle M

Family Time

We have had a busy few days! We had a trip planned to Oregon to go see Uncle S, but little miss got really sick with a fever for 3 days and an ear infection. YIKES! So we stayed home and tried to get some much needed rest. All the while, the M crew from NY came to visit so we got to do some cousin bonding. Grandpa W even came to visit before he left for a hunting trip. She loves both her grandpas. She just smiles and bats her eyes!!!

Grandpa thought it would be funny to let little one play with a paper towel roll. Paybacks as he likes to call it.

I think she looks like Bozo the clown..ha. For some reason when she eats she likes to run her fingers through her hair and make funky little styles. This one is my fave so far.

It's Official...

little one does not like Santa or Mrs. Claus at all! Love that little sad face though.

Strike a Pose

Baby lady went to a Dallas Child event and had her little picture taken for fun. I think she could have used a little more of her sweet smile (this is her version of the blue steel pose), but she was much more interested in the flashing lights and other kiddos around. She had fun though! Those are some kissable cheekers!!!
