Nine Months in and Nine Months Out

It's hard to believe that we've had our girl in our arms as long as she was in my belly.  This month she:

• slept in her big girl bed all night long and did great
• sleeping through the night is back on track now that she is in her own room
• got her top two teeth
• watched Briley cheer
• pulls up to knees using her chair
• met Baby Abram and Marinn
• went to Stillwater and saw an OSU basketball game
• soaked up every second of Spring Break 2013
• played in the sunshine
• Build a Bear and lunch with the R's
• Playdate at Lydia's house
• Baylor group and lunch with friends
• Ridglea's candy party 2nd birthday
• tried green beans
• rolling to get to objects
• really interacting with us - we are truly playing together now
• enjoyed her first snowcone, blowing bubbles, and being outside - springtime has arrived
• first of many tea parties with Momma
• hunted eggs in the park

She is growing so fast and each day is more fun than the one before!  Spring break was a sneak peak into summer, and I cannot wait to spend each day with this girl.

 

Trying to get to her knees.

 

Duck Dynasty party with Momma's team.  When we got home Lydia went to sleep in her own room.

Briley is funny!

Working on her serious model face.

Cattlebarn flea market

Lydia's first snowcone on opening week.  She chose the exotic flavor of "ice".  She loved it.  Momma's girl for sure.

 

Eat at Joe's

Go Pokes!

 

First OSU basketball game.

We thought swimming in the indoor hotel pool was a great idea, but it was freezing.  At least she looked cute, right?

Don't let her fool you.  She didn't sleep well in this bed.

Enjoying the first day of Spring Break in the sunshine.

The only nap she's ever taken in a stroller since we stopped using her infant carrier.

My sidekick at the fabric store.  What a good helper she is. 

With the birthday girl.  Hard to believe our Ridglea is TWO!

Celebrating shamrocks in style.

Tea party!

Ready for the bunny!

Marmee met us for an egg hunt.  It was divided up by age.  There weren't many babies there because it was kind of cool and wet, so Lydia scored lots of eggs, bubbles, and rubber duckies.

Happy to hang out with the big bunny.

These pictures are a little harder to get each month, so don't mind the blurry hand.
