Oh Happy Day!

Well it's official, I really did wonder if the day would come, when I would say this sentence, and that is "Our baby is crawling". She is 11 months now and has just barely decided to crawl. That may seem like no big deal, but she didn't even roll till 11 months either. So basically I have been holding, I repeat holding her for 11 months now. She did sit, but that was it, no mobility, none! Untill the other day when we dropped her off at Grand(ma & pa)'s house and as we were leaving she crawled after us. I was shocked and thank goodness for "Granny on the spot" because she grabbed her camera and got these pictures of her first literal crawl! Oh happy day!!! My arms can finally relax.

All About Me, now that I'm THREE!!

I had to do a highlight on our little 3 year old, who just turned 3 in December. She seems to me to have been 3 for at least a year now, whenever I hit the half birthday I start rounding up in age, so when they actually do turn the full year, it's never that monumental, in my mind at least. But either way here is what our 3 year old is like:

FAST LIKE DASH

You will often hear "Look mom I am fast like Dash!" (the Incredibles if you aren't sure what I am talking about) I was so happy, when we went out for a family photo shoot, that she just happened to do that, and I had the camera ready. So yes, she is fast like Dash!

BEAUTY & THE "BEAST"

Now you may be thinking that by the "Beast" I am referring to her personality, but, you would be wrong, she really is an easy going girl. The "beast" is her NEVER ENDING runny nose. I had really wanted to get some nice, Christmas dress pictures. Darrin took this one and did a great job. I was so excited to have some beautiful pictures. When I loaded them on my computer what did I find among the beauty?...The runny nose! I can't believe it. Here's a closer look:

I know you all really wanted to see that, but let's face it, I can't talk about this girl and not mention her nose.

GRANDMA J'S

You have to know a little about my mom and going to my mom's house to really appreciate this, but the short condensed version is she is a Yard Saler. She finds some pretty good stuff too. So this is just one of her great finds (not at a yardsale, but her ability to find random things, does exist outside of yardsales). I wish that pictures could speak because this one would be singing a Christmas Santa song to you right now, at least the hat would. I think Baylie's face is just hilarious in this. I can just see what her mind is thinking "Oh the Joy's of visiting Grandma J's!"
