Getting Ready for Christmas

You wouldn't guess it is December and almost time for Christmas from the weather outside. A lovely 65 degrees today in Colorado Springs and I'm loving it (although I'm ready for snow when I hit the slopes & Christmas morning)!

Erin met Santa for the first time today at a Mom's Club party. She wasn't too sure about him and started crying right after I took this photo, but who wouldn't be scared at that age??? Erin loves to play soccer, loves babies, eats like a champion, and continues to crack us up every day with her silly faces & noises! She is also growing like a weed. I swear she grew 2 inches overnight last week....she is now longer than her changing table....not sure when that happened. The only bad thing I can say about her is that she is fascinated with the toilet and the bath tub. What does this mean? If I can't find my hair brush, it is probably in the tub along with a soccer ball and stacking cup. Only one fatal drop of her baby doll in the toilet so far! Happy Holidays from the Sullivan family!!
I'm not so sure about this!

Big smiles!

Future soccer player?


One of her many silly faces.

Happy!

Serious. Look at those eyes :)

I love hanging out in the basket!

So Much to be Thankful For

Happy belated Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for this year....a happy, healthy, beautiful toddler, a wonderful family and wonderful friends!

We traveled to NJ this year for Thanksgiving to be with Bob's parents (Nana & Pops). The trip was a lot of fun, but Erin caught a really bad cold on the way home and I caught it soon after....therefore, our house has not been a lot of fun this past week. I think we're all feeling better now, so I have no excuse to put off posting pictures any longer!

Meet Sweet Little Taya

This is Taya, Erin's newest cousin. Isn't she adorable?!?! I took a long road trip with Busia, Grandpa & Erin this past weekend to attend Taya's baptism and hang out with the family. Erin only cried a total of 5 minutes the entire car ride from Colorado to Oklahoma and back (thank goodness)! She had a blast with her cousins!!!! After hanging out with 7 other kids, she walks a little faster and talks a little louder! Welcome to the family Taya....we are so happy you are here :) Congratulations Sara & Trevor on your growing family and your beautiful new house!

Please don't wake her!

All smiles!

In the ball pit with 3 princesses :)

Happy Halloween!

After a week long sickness, Erin finally got to participate in one Halloween event...the coffin races in Manitou. She missed out on Trick-Or-Treating at Daddy's work and a Halloween party with the Moms club, but at least she got a chance to wear her costume (in the heat)! Happy Halloween everyone!

I know where my belly button is!

I love to run!


My sweet blue fairy :)

Kristi and I swapped services again...I am doing a painting for her in exchange for photos of Erin :) I love this! She does such a good job. Check out the sneak peek on her blog.

Best Place On Earth!

It has been a few weeks already, but Erin made her first trip to the best place on Earth (a.k.a. Notre Dame). We got a chance to tailgate and go to the game while my Mom & Uncle Mark watched Erin. Erin also got a chance to meet her Great Grandpa! He's in a rehabilitation hospital right now, but he was still as happy as can be. Sorry it has been so long since my last post. We have great videos of her walking, but again, that will have to wait until later. She is getting speedy!

Birthday Pics/ Nana & Pops Visit

I'm finally posting some pictures from Erin's birthday and the visit from Nana and Pops! Erin is taking 20+ steps at a time now and is playing with ALL of her new toys given to her on her birthday (she got spoiled)! She had her one year checkup last week and her head is officially off the charts (just like her Daddy's). Too funny! She weighs in at a whopping 19 pounds (12th percentile, I think) and her height is 75th percentile. She is doing great and is as happy as can be. She misses her Nana & Pops though...she got used to entertainment around the house while they were here. Enjoy the pics! Some day we will post videos of her walking, but that will have to wait for another day.
