Pumpkin Patch Photos!

Okay, so it was 97 degrees, the place was empty, and most of the pumpkins were in various stages of decomposition, but we had a good time anyway! There are a few more pictures here... she did NOT like sitting on the pokey hay!

Cute videos

I took these videos about a week ago and just now got around to uploading them. They are both of her playing with her shakers, but the first one is the super long extended version! Please ignore her raging case of bedhead :)

5 minutes of shaker fun:


The abridged version (30 seconds):

My little punkin

Uh oh...

Look who was sitting on our roof, eyeing our fish pond...He's been here a couple of days, and hasn't managed to catch dinner yet...hopefully he'll lose interest soon!

9 Months today!

Our little monkey is nine months old today! It's amazing how fast time flies... and amazing how much she's learned to do in just nine months! Yesterday we were sitting in the backyard, and she just stood up! I mean, she got up from a sitting position with no help and no 'props' to pull up or lean on - and she stood there for a little while before she sat back down. That's pretty amazing! She's gotten to be so much fun to play with, too.. she likes to hide behind the couch or the coffee table and pop out to play peekaboo, and she loves to jump and sing the 5 Little Monkeys song. And she has such a great sense of humor - she's developing her own personality and it's pretty cool. We've also discovered something else she really likes to do - too bad the park is a 40 minute drive away so we can't go every day!

Happy Anniversary!

Just for Grandma and Grandpa Miller:

We're here!

Did ya miss me??

So its been a while since my last post! I haven't been taking quite as many pictures these days, mainly because she won't sit still long enough to be captured on film! But we're still having a good old time.. she's not quite walking but she can stand on her own for almost a full minute. As long as she isn't thinking about it, that is - as soon as she realizes what she's doing, PLOP to the floor she goes! And she's introducing us to the joy of teething + separation anxiety...I must say that whining is not her most endearing trait. But, this too shall pass, I'm sure! Here are a couple pictures I've taken over the past week or so:

Beating dad with a stick:

"I said I wanted a PONY!!!"

Having vanquished Dad and Chance, now she's coming for me:
No paparazzi!

Talking on the phone in a bubble bath:

"It's for you!"

More photos here!

Two more pictures

I found these two pics on the camera from the last time Jacob came over - they really are inseparable!
