I know...

Ok, don't hurt me. I know it's been WAY too long. And I don't even have pictures to post this time either! I can't seem to find time to update this thing, spend time with my daughter and husband AND have a job. Its just too much. So forgive me for waiting what seems like a million years since I've posted anything.
What's happened since the last post...lets see. Well... our little girl is fast approaching her first birthday. Can you believe it?!?!? I can't! She's eating some 3rd foods now, but not all and has learned a great new trick. She has learned how to spit things out of her mouth. Yep, not liking this new trick, but she's also learning that momma just puts it back in her mouth and tells her "no ma'am." :) She likes eating the meat sticks and diced up carrots. Once this box of formula is out she's switching to milk, so we'll see what happens with that. They do that now at one year anyway. She is a complete chatterbox (dunno where she gets that from since neither her daddy or I talk much) and tells us all kinds of things. She hasn't really said a "word" yet but makes noises that sound really close to actual words. "Da da" and "Ma ma" are about the only things that she really says and means and even those are sporadic at best. She waves now when you leave and of course it's a whole arm and body wave. She's got 4 teeth; two on top and two on bottom. She still likes to put her two middle fingers in her mouth and suck. It looks like she's either saying "I love you" in sign language or she's telling us already that she wants to be a Longhorn. I know for you Aggie fans out there you won't like that, but her Daddy and I don't mind.
The biggest thing going on right now is her walking. She's doing it more and more each day and for longer periods of time too. Yesterday she was walking so much I thought she was just going to take off and that would be that. It literally is any day now that she just makes up her mind that she's going to do it and does. She gets just a little unsure of herself and plops down mid walk. She's gotten up to about 12 steps or so, so far.
Sunday we took her to our friends Rob and Gwen Sawyers with Be True Photography and got her pictures taken in the pumpkin patch in her ladybug costume. We don't have the CD with those pictures on it yet to post, but as soon as we get it you can rest assured that you will see some of them. We are also going back to them right before her birthday to get her one year pictures taken and then right after that I'm sure we will be back for Santa pictures like last year. Chris seems to think that Santa may be a no go for her this year since she's decided to be picky about who she goes to at times. We'll see. Every family has the crying Santa picture I'm sure at one point or another.
Thats about it for now until Halloween comes and the pictures get here. I'll post those things as soon as I can. Be patient. I haven't completely forgotten about this blog, it's just not a high priority most days. :) We love you all. Take care.
Love and hugs-
