Draft 2010

Every year the guys do a Fantasy Football Draft. This year they did it during the day so the kiddos could play. Stephen and Carrie did a great job providing the entertainment! Thanks!

Child Labor

We have someone to help us with the yard now! She calls the lawnmower a "vroom vroom".


Finding things that don't belong...

He was a big one!

Pups

Ladybug has found that it is a bunch of fun to torment our poor pups! She chases them around with her orange chair that they are terrified of and she just never gives them a break. We are so lucky they are so tolerant of her. She did find a way to make it up to them...she learned how to open their food bin. Not such a good thing...


She also likes to tell them to stay.

Swim Lessons

We started swimming lessons this past Friday and it is amazing everything they had her doing! She blows bubbles in the water, dunks, kicks, and she even jumped into the water by herself! She really loves it. I'll keep ya posted on our progress!

Is it time to go yet?

Into Everything!

She likes raiding the pantry for drinks...it isn't opened...

We bought Bug the markers that only write on the special paper and they just weren't the same. So, I gave her the real deal one morning and we found out they weren't 'washable'. She got it on her hand and was stuck on showing us and saying "Uh-Oh"

1980 called, they want their outfit back!

Finally! She likes something Mommy likes!!

We got Bug ANOTHER Telephone!! I know it is rediculous...but this one is Elmo and you can program Elmo to say her name...She loves it!

Ladybug has become quite the picky eater her diet consists of fruit, cheese, yogurt and hot dogs. Grandma helped her eat her first Turkey Dog...she liked it! I hope we get out of this phase soon!

All Her Cuteness...

Bug has a few new favorite past times...spinning and hopping/jumping. It is too funny! The hopping is almost there and the jumping is how our Ladybug entertains herself in her crib...all you hear is the thud, thud, thud on the mattress followed by baby giggles.

Bug gets a bit dizzy after a few spins...

The end is classic...

Tim has always loved Gap 1969 Jeans...

Now they carry them in Bugs size! Daddy's Girl!

Technology

It amazes me the things that our Ladybug will not experience due to advances in technology. Getting up to change the channel on a TV that was huge and clunky looking with a blurry picture that was never blurry till you got a new one and saw the difference; driving 18 hours in the car with no TV, iPod's...how bout that good ol' 8 track?

Tim and I saw a little boy a few weeks ago with an iPad and it absolutely amazed us how fast he navigated through the apps and how it was so natural to him. After telling my mom about this kid and how Bug won't know what it's like to listen to the radio for hours just to hit record at the perfect time to get your favorite song on tape, my mom borrowed an iPad from work to see what Bug would do with it. What a hit!! We had one rule though...she was only allowed to hold it by herself on carpet. She picked up what to do with this new technology so fast! She played games with our assist and she really enjoyed the books that it read to her. AMAZING! I guess the Christmas list has its first item.
