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.

Puppy Love

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!!!

The Tree is Up

We decorated the tree today and little lady pretty much put every ornament in her mouth! She loves the tree...hence no ornaments within reach of those perfectly chubby little arms on the tree. Oh, and she is has already tried to rip into a few gifts and successfully ripped a bow off of one gift. We have our hands full! On top of that she likes to climb up all 16 stairs by herself now (of course we are right there behind her), opens doors if they are just even the slightest bit open with one teeny little finger, opens ALL drawers and cabinets that are not child proofed and knows the difference for the most part between mama and dada when she blurts out our name.

The Nutcracker

We thought we would attempt to take the little lady to the Nutcracker ballet today. She did pretty good for the first few minutes and then her and daddy went and ate some snacks out in the lobby. She was recharged and ready after intermission though. She seemed to really enjoy the dancers, lights and music. She would stand on my lap and just clap and then look over at daddy like she was almost saying "do you see this daddy?" But midway through act II she fell asleep (while twirling her hair) until the end of the ballet. Oh well...
