Water Baby

This kid loves the water, even if it's just a hose in his grandma's backyard. 

Doggy in the Window

While we were hanging out on the front lawn, Dakota was keeping a watchful eye over us.

Fun Times in Folsom

I braved my first trip on an airplane—and I did good. I slept all the way to Sacramento. I met my future BFFs (and offspring) of my da-dada's best buddies from high school—Kylie is 4 1/2 months and Max is 1 1/2 years (and the godson of my mom and dad). I just wish I had a photo of Max's older brother pushing me on his skateboard on my stomach... I'm not even a year old but I liked it!!!

Mountain Man

It's difficult to tell, but that's Nolan in Big Bear. Hat is a little too small for our growing boy!

Welcome to my Crib

Just a few shots of the room where it all goes down—sleeping, reading, diaper changing. I'd like to give a shout out to my Auntie Sue for the decor, and cousins Owen, Riley, Jacee and Zoe for lending their finger-painting skills to create the animal prints on the wall (with more than a little help from Grandma Jude).  

Alone time with Mamma

Mamma always is busy, running off to class or reading manuscripts. She decided to let me help out and I was giving her some advice about how to make the book better.  Of course, I've developed my voice now, constantly babbling, but wonder why no one can understand what I'm saying? I also started exercising, I can crawl and enjoy playing with a long phone cord and chasing Dakota around. Man, is she quick! I can't wait to start walking so I can follow everyone around. For now though, I just cruise around the ottoman as my parents look on. 

Rock on!!

Nolan is a little punk--er and enjoys taking a bath in the sink. However, he's outgrown the infant tub so we're stalling to put him in the adult-size arena.  He's pushed past 20 pounds and has found a new favorite food --Cheerios. And boy do they make him happy.
