She’s a walker!!!

Video coming soon as we need to edit the little tidbits I have been able to catch in the last day or so. I thought I would put up a comparison shot for today. The first photo is from August 10th 2007 when her highchair was just too darn big and she wasn’t too stable with the sitting up thing. The other is from today, the first time I put her back in the highchair to see how she fits. It’s still a little big and we will keep using the hippo chair, but I thought this would be fun.

Look at all that hair she has now and how much fatter those cute little cheeks have become. And of course she is about 2 inches taller. Love it!!

Thankful Thursday

What did I do?

  • For friends. My life is made richer by the people that touch my life.
  • For getting to spend my days with Nadia. It’s so fun to be a mom and watch all the entertaining things she does. The photo above shows how entertaining the wipes suddenly were today 🙂
  • For Nadia taking more steps each day. When she is distracted she really gets going. But if you try to get her to walk she just sits down. It’s cute.
  • For my friends in China now who will be coming home in the next few days (Terri and Maureen). And for people who left this week who will see their babies face this weekend (CTG). Have fun!!!
  • For how fast Nadia’s hair is growing in and how cute it looks going 12 different directions in the morning.
  • For a dear friends mom finding out that her cancer was removed and she doesn’t have to have chemotherapy.
  • For Good Eats – don’t laugh…it’s an awesome cooking show with good recipes AND learning.

Go WVU!

Colorado Trip

Okay this is the second part of the trip we took in October…we just had so much going on I had to do them as separate posts. We went to Denver to visit with our friends the Petermans who have been up there for about 3 years now. I miss Jessica dearly and so it was great to see their house and life in CO. We flew in on Saturday, and Sunday it snowed most of the day. So Nadia went from the beach in Santa Barbara on Friday to her first snow day on Sunday! On Monday we drove down to Colorado Springs and went to the Garden of the Gods and to the Cave of the Winds. We ate at a tasty place called ZIOS where Nadia scarfed down their mac and cheese like there was no tomorrow. And thanks to Randy for updating the blog…very handy for my posting. 🙂

Here are a few of my favorite photos, but click the one above to see the whole slide show.
