Ansley's Party

Ansley was the first in the Baby Girl Boom of 09! It's so hard to believe that she's already one. Time sure has flown by. She had a sweet little party at her house and her mommy made the cutes and yummiest penguin cupcakes and smash cake for Ansley. It was fun to have all the babies together again and to celebrate Ansley's special day!

Millie Kate is 10 months

Millie Kate is so much fun these days and is always making us smile! I love this age. She still loves clapping, but now she's into pointing and waving. She waves every time someone leaves a room or we say bye. She's pointing to things she wants and things we can't figure out what she's pointing to. She loves music and bounces up and down when a song she likes comes on. She's crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything. She is keeping us on our toes! I love seeing how her little personality is coming out and can't wait to see how she changes in the next couple of months.

Busy as a Bee!

My days are now filled with following Millie Kate around and keeping her out of the dog food! She is into EVERYTHING!!! I put her down on her blanket with all her toys and 1 minute later she's crawling through her barn door on her way to explore. I can't keep her contained anymore!!


Escaping!

Just one of the boys

Crysie hosted a play date at her house, which was very brave since she has a 7 week old! We had so much fun and Millie Kate held her own with all the boys. Wade was even sweet enough to share his trains with her. We can't wait for the next one!

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day this year and Millie Kate made it even more special. We went to church for a special sermon on marriage and love and then to lunch at Olde Town with my parents. After lunch we went by Harry's to pick up something special to make for dinner. We exchanged presents and play with MK and once she went to bed Brian started on making us a romantic dinner of Lobster Tail and Steak. It was so yummy and to make it even more romantic, we watch "An Affair to Remember" which is one of my favorite movies! It was a fun and special day and the perfect end to my Birthday weekend!
