First Steps

Wow 2 posts in 2 days! I was home today because my mom and Justin's mom are out of town. I was working with her to get her to clap her hands and start walking. She started clapping and is soooo proud of herself that it is adorable. She also started taking her first steps!!!! She has been walking holding on to things for a while now but won't let go. Today I was leaning her up against the couch and getting her to walk to me. Then I stood her on the tile and she starting walking to me. I am soooo over the moon that she will be off on her own in no time. I am so proud of my little goose. Before I know it she will be running circles around me and I will be wishing she wasn't mobile. She is growing up so fast.

Halloween

We had an amazing Halloween with the Cummings family. We took the kids over to a carnival and then went for pizza before going trick or treating. The kids did really well and we just had so much fun. Here are some pictures from our day.

Play date with her man

Goose and Hunter got together for a play date on Friday and I took some pictures. They are so adorable that I had to post them :-)

First Hair Cut

It has been a long time since I last blogged, I am going to try and get better at doing it on a more regular basis. We have been busy running around doing one thing or another. Jordyn's hair was getting really long and starting to resemble a mullet in the back. There were long straggly bits in the back and I have been dying to get it cut. Justin finally agreed to let me do so last Friday off we went. Our friends Katherine and Hunter invitied us to go along with them to this kids place in San Ramon. Jordyn got to sit in the little car and had her hair cut by a lovely lady who did an awesome job. She trimmed her hair all up and now it looks like a little bob cut. We even got a certificate with a picture and a bag of hair on it. Hunter got his hair cut and was a pro. Here are some pictures of our time in the salon.

My baby is 1!!!!

WOW.... Time Flies!!! I can't believe that my baby turned 1 yesterday. This year has gone by so fast and but I have a hard time remembering life without my little goose. We have been through a lot since she arrived but we have also learned a lot. She is growing and thriving more and more everyday. I am so grateful to have a happy and healthy (for the most part) wonderful little girl. Last weekend we had her first birthday party at Grandpa Kits house and it was great. We had a large turnout, about 60 adults and a bunch of kids. She got to meet some of her family that she hadn't met before and see others that she doesn't get to see very often. We had people come from all over to help celebrate with us. I want to thank everyone for all their help in making this day so special. I have to laugh to myself because lets be honest.... no 1 year old is going to remember a party but this was the shin dig of all shin digs and I have the pictures to prove it. I think Justin and I enjoyed ourselves just as much, if not more, than she did. Here are some pictures from the special day.

Fun with the Uchytil's

On Sunday we got a call from Melina to go and meet them downtown to play in the water. We quickly packed up little goose and head to downtown Livermore. The girls had a blast playing in the water and we got just as wet as they did. After we changed them we went and had a nice glass of wine and let the girls hang out. Makayla and Jordyn absolutely love hanging out together and it is so cute to see them interact. Here are some pictures from our afternoon downtown.

11 Months Old

Today my little (or not so little) goose is 11 months old!!!! In this past month she has grown so much and everyday she is exploring more and doing more things. Her little tooth is coming up more and more and the one next to it is coming through too. She is crawling all over the place now and is getting into everything. At first she wouldn't come off the mat onto the tile but that isn't an issue anymore, she is everywhere. We went to her friend Hunter's first birthday party and she threw her first tizzy fit. I was putting on some sunscreen and she was not happy about it, she started screaming and kicking her feet. I was so in shock that I just looked at her and wondered what she had done with my child. I think that her teeth are hurting her and I know that must be miserable for her. We also went to Granny Goose's house for dinner and she got to play with her cousin Claudia. The had a blast crawling around on the floor and getting into things. She helped open Granny's presents and then she was wiped out. I am really looking forward to her 1st birthday party and can't believe how fast this year has gone by.
