10.31.13 - The Best Laid Plans...

I was planning on posting a cute picture of her in her Halloween costume but I have to post this instead. Today marked our first unscheduled visit to the doctor's office. Nothing serious but trick-or-treating did not happen in our household tonight. :(

10.30.13 - Again...

How is that comfortable?

10.29.13 - Thanks Grandma

Mara was so excited to get this in the mail today and carried it around with her when she was crawling around all night. Thanks Grandma Gayle!

10.28.13 - So Big!

Look who is 11 months old today and standing on her own. She is still quite wobbly but she is getting bigger and stronger everyday. If ant believe I am planning a birthday party already!

10.27.13 - So Close!

I was giggling the whole time she was trying to figure this out. Any day now she'll be standing when we walk in to get her. 

10.26.13 - Pumpkins, Fun, & Friends

Much fun was had with the Thompson's tonight! 

10.25.13 - Not a Fan

I tired to get Little M to participate in "Neon Day" for spirit week with me but she was not a fan. 

10.24.13 - Spirit Week

I love working with this nerdy bunch!

10.23.13 - Snow!

I always smile at the first snowfall of the year. :)

10.22.13 - Big Girl Bath Time

Miss M's first time in the bathtub sitting up completely on her own. Probably a little overdue but still something to celebrate. Of course, she was having a ball splashing around like she always does!

10.21.13 - Mama's Girl

10.20.13 - Apple Pancakes

Someone is a big fan!

10.19.13 - Lowered Crib

We moved the crib to the lowest setting today. My baby girl is growing too fast! 

10.18.13 - Newest Achievement

To our surprise, little Miss M figured out how to sit up completely on her own. We discovered this when seeing this on the monitor. Which leads me to my next post...

10.17.13 - Newest Sewing Project

An overnight bag complete with many pockets on the inside. Whew...this was a long one. 

10.16.13 - Clean, Happy Girl

Some of her biggest smiles are right after bath time. 

10.15.13 - Getting into Everything

Someone figured out exactly where her toys are kept.

10.14.13 - Broccoli!

Sharks make everything taste better.

10.13.13 - Love This Season!

Our first attempt at a family photo session wasn't a total failure... We are quickly learning that little M doesn't like to be put down when we are outside. We're going to have to work on this. 

10.12.13 - Quality Time with Daddy

Do we have a future gamer on our hands?

10.11.13 - Getting Ready for Halloween

She makes a pretty cute zebra!

10.10.13 - Mirror, Mirror

She loves to play with the baby she sees in the mirror all of the time. 

10.9.13 - So Precious

10.8.13 - On The Move

You look away for 1 second and she has made another mess in another part of the house!

10.7.13 - New Bow

Adorbs!

10.6.13 - Melted Heart

Mara decided to tighten her hold on her daddy's heart by falling asleep in the car holding his hand. 

10.5.13 - Playing with Daddy

Watching her play with her daddy is almost as much fun as actually playing with her! 

10.4.13 - Happy Birthday Aunt Bethany

A picture from our quick trip to Aunt Bethany's tonight to drop off part of her birthday present. This picture warms my heart because it is the first one in which I can really see that Mara is a little piece of me! 

10.3.13 - How is that Comfortable?

We often ask ourselves that question when spying on her through the baby monitor at night. These are just a few of the recent poses we have seen. 

10.2.13 - Where's Kenzie?

Mara is starting to show us that she can identify people. She'll look at her daddy or mama when you ask where they are. She even does it with Kenzie! :) What a smart girl we have!

10.1.13 - Ready For Winter

Someone's first winter coat came in the mail just the other day...we had to try it on. So cute!
