Walking and Squawking (& Picture OVERLOAD!)

I am behind on posting, but figured I would go ahead and post some pictures from January to early February. Girlfriend is growing FAST! All she does is WALK. Usually with something in one hand and waving the other one. Today we just noticed that she would walk up and down the hallway, squawking to Raleigh, Kingsley or her walker. Sometimes to us - then she'd throw her hand up in the air like she does when she is "waving" then she'd take after Raleigh. It's a riot to watch. She's got places to go, things to see, and people to meet. Words that come to mind when I think of Blair : LOVE : INDEPENDENT : FAST : DARE DEVIL : TOOTHY GRINS : EXPLORER.

Here is what's been going on in our world for the first month or so of 2012.

Swinging at the Park

Grandma Nancy has my feet!

Going down the slide with Daddy

I love her little profile. The big eyes, the full cheeks and little nose. It is so precious.

Reading books. She loves that "Global Babies" book a lot. We talk about how pretty the babies are and where they live.

Mid-Squawk (and part of Raleigh's nose)

I love this picture of Bug. I probably should have rotated it, but it looks so silly.

And girls DO rock.

Love it.

Also enjoying some mild winter weather. The grass looks decent for January but the grass isn't growing as fast as the spring.

Me and the silly girl

Does not like Stage 3 baby foods. I think we are going to skip over those and go to table food. Of course we haven't really found the "perfect" or fail safe meal... so far sandwiches or bread are the best we've got. I tell you what we have every kind of spread you can imagine. Apple butter, almond butter, Nutella, cream cheese, jelly, strawberry flavored cream cheese, cucumber / cream cheese spread. And we make grilled cheese, ham & cheese, turkey & cheese... the possibilities are endless.

Remember I said she hated Stage 3 food? Proof!

She loves water bottles. It is very silly.

Bedtime routine with Goodnight Moon. It's her favorite.

Bubble time!

Reading her favorite color book

New shoes from Grandma Nancy

Loves remotes. Thinks they are hers (& I have given up the fight).

These two. Every time I turn around, she is taking off after him or leaning into him, with her mouth open to kiss him. It is so very sweet, but we have to separate them before Raleigh gets her in the chops. He usually looks at us like, "She started it," to which we look at him with the "you know better" look.

I need to post the pics from Zoey's birthday party (Blair's first official birthday party attendance as guest) and the pictures from Sesame Street Live today. Details to come, but let me just say - Blair did awesome and we had a BLAST!!!

Big week coming up! Valentine's, Trav's BIG birthday and MINE! Big week for the Wrights.
