Sweet Baby - Late October 2017

Look at me! Growing, growing!!

Cutest jammies ever!!! Thanks to our friends the Carpenter Family for all the wonderful clothes! Hand-me-downs filled with LOVE :)

Jumpy Chairs

Being a baby sure can be fun! Thanks for this great jumpy chair, Aunt Linda! It rocks and plays great music, plus I'm just starting to notice the toys that hang down overhead.

And thanks too, to Cousins Lauren and Sam and Hardin for my other jumpy chair - it vibrates and helps me take naps sometimes :)

Outdoors with Mommy

Just because I'm only one month old doesn't mean I'm not big enough to help with chicken chores! Let's get it done, Mommy!

Here I am, in the snuggly pack. Mommy can tote water and do all kinds of chores with me! I like to hear the leaves crinkle under her feet, and listen out for the silly clucks of the chickens. Brody, our orange tabby cat, likes to help sometimes too!

And here's one indoors... Taking care of the bunnies doesn't hardly count as a chore. Thanks for my first bunny kiss, Eloise! (And yes, Kopper the puppy loves to keep a close eye on me. I'm her baby, after all!)

Mid-October 2017

Mommy's favorite outfit on me! These are preemie overalls :)

Fun Facts

Thea arrived September 17th 2017. She's now ONE YEAR OLD!! She loves her doggie Kopper, being outside, storytime at the library, Cookie Monster, turning the pages of books, playing with various toys especially rolling and trying to toss balls, riding in carts at the store, discovering new things like how to somersault, and especially her big sister! At 12 months she was a very active crawler, and within a week after her birthday she began walking. Now she's a pro! She also puts everything in her mouth (esp. fuzzies from the rug or chair cushions) and is very adventurous - pulling open drawers, cabinets, climbing up on furniture and she is thrilled when we let her climb the stairs... She's also starting to chat more, and can tell you what the doggie says and the kitty, and sometimes even the duck and the lion. Some of her words these days: Eloise ("Eh-o-eeez"), Ma-Ma, Yes ("Uhh-ss"), and howling like the doggie. Observant, happy, healthy, beautiful, active & daring are some of the words to describe our precious girl!
