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.

6 Steps

Erin has now taken six steps in a row without falling! I know I need to post pictures from her birthday, but I'm a little behind in life right now. Here is one of Erin with both sets of Grandparents....she was so lucky to have all of them there to celebrate her birthday with her. More pics later, I promise!

Happy 1st Birthday Erin!

Our sweet baby girl turned one yesterday. I'm not sure where the year went, but she is an absolute blessing. She is so easy going, so loving, so patient, so silly, and so stinkin' cute! We just love that girl. Part of me is sad that she is already turning one...time has gone by so fast. BUT, a bigger part of me is just so excited to see what the next year will bring. Her personality is really shining through and she certainly knows how to make us laugh. When she wakes up from a good nap, she is so excited when I walk in the room and she hugs me tight around my neck with a little giggle. Those are the moments I just try to take in and not forget because I know it is all going to go by too fast. Happy Birthday, Erin! We love you so very much! We are so happy to have you as our daughter.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
