9 months old- Lacey

Another month has come and gone and this little Lacey lady is 9 months old. She is such a happy smiley girl. Her pincer grasp is my favorite right now. She'll pick up a little pea, look and concentrate on it...it's soo funny! She does Frankenstein arms while she eats. I think she gets so happy and excited to be eating that she does not know how else to express her joy. Lace does this funny kicking thing with her legs when she's sitting on her bottom. It makes me wonder if she'll scoot around on her butt like her Aunt Leslie before she crawls. She's the opposite of a cat. She automatically flips over to her back if she's put on her belly. She loves everything Ava, her toys, her food and Ava herself. She recently started clicking with her mouth and saying "Gaaa gaa". I love you my Lacey Loo!

Halloween Day

We had a very fun but busy Halloween. We got a lot of invites to different things and had a hard time saying no so we attempted to do everything. Thanks to Kensie and Josh for hurrying to meet up with us downtown and Cameron for making dinner. Ava had a blast trick or treating with Collin in downtown Kirkland. The traffic was so bad we barely made it home to eat dinner and then hurry to our friends house to do the "real" trick or treating. I think Ava had fun. Cameron was trying to help her get to the front of the kids so she did not get missed when the candy givers opened the door. Her trick or treat and thanks are really quiet as well so we both were trying to help her with that. She came home and sorted a bit but did not end up eating any. She did get a whole dum dum and licorice earlier (bribe to wear the wig) and that pretty much tripled her candy intake up to this point in her life, on a daily basis that is. She did see candy wrappers in the trash and asked who ate her candy. Thankfully it was Kensie's candy wrappers and I could honestly tell her that but it looks like I have to ask or be sneaky stealth mom if I want any candy.
Happy Halloween!!!

8 Months old - Lacey

My pretty baby is growing up! Her sweet little bottom teeth have popped though. She is sleeping so well these days. Naps and bed time are wonderful. She loves all foods...peas, carrots, squash, pears, prunes, peaches, grapes, avocado and the mum mum rice things. I love this age because eating is a treat and she is not picky. Lacey is the ultimate mommas girl. She does let dad hold her but that is it. She has such a tender little heart. I found if I let her suck on food she'll tolerate tummy time otherwise she flips right over to her back. She sits so well and has gotten good at folding in half to reach things past her feet. She's slimming down and loosing her baby chubby-ness as well. We love our Lacey girl!

Ava

My Ava was born 3 years ago today. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father Blessed us with her.

7 months old -Lacey

February does not seem that long ago but when I look at how big Lacey is it seems like forever ago. She is sitting on her own and has been for a while now! She is eating solids and likes carrots, oatmeal and avocado. She is getting really clingy and does not even like it when I leave the room. She is only waking up once at night usually around 4:00am or 5:00am, which is very nice for me!! Lacey bobs and bounces to music and sometimes tries to sing along. She's so funny and is always surprising me.

Preschool for Ava

Ava started preschool on the 6th. Her teachers are Miss Bobbi, Miss Kathy and Miss Jen. I'd been talking it up for about a week before in hopes that she'd forget that I was leaving her there...it didn't work. It was sad dropping her off because she cried but it made it all worth it when I went to pick her up and I saw that cute smiling face. She had an accident it gym but besides that she did great. On the way home she asked if she could go back again and I said "for sure, how about next Tues?". Then at lunch she was talking about Miss Bobbi. I'm so excited for her and can't wait for all that she's going to learn.

Lacey Ann

She does have hair! Is it funny that I'm so proud of this little patch of hair? I guess that's what happens when you are used to no hair at all. Here's also some funny pictures of the cute face that's attached to that head of hair!
