Happy Birthday daddy!

Happy Birthday Lateaf! Thank you for being such a great man. Words can't even begin to express how wonderful your daddy and my life partner is. Pictures and videos:) are worth a thousand words (or however that saying goes):

Back to the Farmstead

You and I headed to Deanna Rose Farmstead today for an outing on this beautiful autumn day. you went on the swing, watched a worker get a goats head out of the fence (poor little goat poked his head through the fence and couldn't get it out), saw a farmer milk his cow, you pet a calf's head, and watched all the little kiddos run around. As you get older, I know you are really going to love this place.





Notice that in the pics you are shoeless...this has been an issue for momma these past couple days since you've been walking. Up until know we just don't do shoes. Don't get me wrong we have shoes for days but they just don't work. I try to put them on you and they fall off or hinder you from getting around. You are a bear crawler and therefore have a hard time manipulating the shoes to crawl. You can do it, but just get frustrated with them. I don't blame you, I'm not a fan of shoes either. So, I have been investigating shoes for you online and hopefully we will solve this problem soon. In the meantime, I'm that mom and I'm ok with it.:)

What??? A tooth is popping up???

So your momma is CRAZY and for a long time I thought you were teething since about three months old but nothing happened. Ask grandpa D, he gives me hell about it:) I almost don't want to tell him, rather show him next time we see him. Anways, big changes are going on with you lil mamma... Not only are you walking around, but a little tooth has poked through the past couple days. It's still on the surface, but when I rub my fingers across it, there is a little sharpness to it. You are moving your mouth around knowing there is something going on inside. You are growing so fast these past couple weeks...walking, teething, and mimicking words. I love being your momma, I can't say that enough. You continue to amaze me daily.
I Love you Scoops....

Walk Walk Walk

You did it! You are walking around like a drunken sailor:) Acutally you are pretty cautious with your steps. It's so funny, you always have to have something in your hand while you walk. It seems to give you a sense of balance. Way to go Scoops! We are so proud of you. p.s. I am your biggest cheer leader always cheering the walk dance "walk walk walk....walk walk walk":)

Steps closer to walking...

That past couple days you have bravely took a few steps on your own. After you take those steps you sit down and crawl the rest of the way to your destination. Watch out world you are about to be even more mobile....
