To Grandma and Grandpa's We Go

A few months ago, I got a great deal on a flight to visit my dad and step-mom. Amora and I headed out a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time at Grammy and Papa's house. There were so many fun things to play with.

Amora especially loved the cat. She even got to pull his tail a couple of times.


She thought the bouncy seat was awesome because she could get really noisy.


She loved all of the different toys.


She thought Uncle John was pretty interesting.


And she got to play with Cousin Billy.


Here's Billy trying to steal Amora's toy. When she's surprised, she does a really fast blink. That's why her eyes are closed in this photo. Such a funny girl.


Here they are with their toys. They'll be buddies as they get older.


Amora still loves her bath time. She and Grammy hit it off.


It sure was a great trip. Can't wait to see you all for Christmas!

She Walks!

This is my little girl about a month ago. She learned how to stand and balance without holding onto anything at about 9 months. This last week, at 10 months, she took her first steps! It’s super cute because she takes tiny cautious steps. She realizes that she’s still learning and is very careful. And of course it makes me so happy to know that her first steps were walking to Mommy. She’s a Momma’s girl, what can I say?

Family Photos

Last month we had the whole family home, so we took some family pictures. The photographer loved Amora, so we had a few fun ones of her. Naked babies are so fun!


She's basically beautiful all the time, but I love this picture. She just looks so sweet.




Here are the siblings. I know, my husband is pretty good looking. I'm a lucky girl. :)


Here are the girls.

Silly faces.


The boys.


My perfect little girl.


The whole family.


And our little family. They turned out super cute. Thanks Terry!
