Learning how to color

One of my most favorite childhood past times was to color and I was so excited to share that with Lainey.  It took at least 10 times to learn that we do not put the crayons or markers in the mouth, but now she enjoys scribbling or trying to trace my hand.  She loves her Hello Kitty! coloring book and really getting into stickers as well!  And this was also our first day for pigtails!

Reading time with Bah Bah

Bedtime stories with Bah Bah

Reading from her most favorite book at this time - Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes.  We read this at least 2-3 times per day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day started off with an abstact (because mom can't make pancake art) heart chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast .  Lainey was more interested in whipped topping than anything else! 

Let's Get Physical

Playtime at the Plymouth Dome on 2-8-13.  Learning how to kick a ball, use a jump rope, go through tunnels, and most importantly...how to share.  :o) 

Minnetonka Orchard

 

This past week we ventured out to Minnetonka Orchard with our friends Hazel and Michelle to pick apples, eat apple donuts, play in the pumpkins, drink apple cider, and pet some farm animals. Such a fun day! I am loving fall in Minnesota!

11 Months Old

We are almost to the BIG birthday!  This month has been all about perfecting the crawl, saying "Doggie" over and over and over, getting picky about what we are eating, clapping hands, giving high fives, blowing kisses, giving hugs, and wreeking havoc on Nellie's life.   

Loves to "chew" on the binkie

The days of sitting still are over!

Using my own kick stand!

Steps?  She has mastered the first two!

Are you serious mom?
