11 Months Old







Alaina has been very busy the past few weeks. She is almost crawling, she can sit up from a laying down position and she loves to stand and play with her new toys that Santa gave her.
Chris summed it up the other night. We were talking about the past year and he said "this parenting thing can be hard, but it is about to get even more challenging as she gets mobile".

Thank You

We just wanted to thank both of our families for a wonderful Holiday. We had fun and can't believe it is all over. All of that planning and anticipation and it all goes by so fast. Here's to a wonderful new year!!!!!! We love you all!!!

Christmas Picture

Here is Alaina's first Christmas picture. Her Great-Grandma Pauline sent her the dress, too cute!

Morning Coffee

Here is Alaina with our family friend Dana. We love our morning get togethers with Dana. She brings the bagels and we brew the coffee. This morning Alaina even tried a few bits of bagel, yummy! Luke wished he could have some, poor Luke:(
