Jamie after a bath, trying to get to momma

Jamie is becoming very difficult these days to get dressed or change her diaper. She's a squirmy worm and it can be frustrating especially when she has a dirty diaper and is rolling all over the place. I hope she out grows this soon. Anyways, after her bath she will not sit still at all, so we let her play a bit in just her diaper. What's funny is, she doesn't like to crawl on the tile without pants because it's either too cold or too hard, so this video is of her on her hand and feet, butt in the air trying to get to me across the kitchen. We were pretty amused. please to enjoy... :-)

Happy Birthday!

Today is my daddy's 55th birthday. I love him, he really has been an awesome dad and when i think of the word dad i think of someone you go to with everything and someone who knows how to fix anything or say the right thing. My dad is totally that, he's awesome. Tomorrow is billy's 28th b-day! he is taking the day off work to relax and then we are going to see the new James Bond movie and out to a nice dinner, which we shouldn't be spending money doing, but hey, you only have a b-day once a year, what better time to celebrate right? Wednesday is amber's b-day and she's turning 21 according to max..which would have made her 11 when she had loden.. i knew she was a young mom, but didn't realize that young :-) Anyways, today we went over to mimi and papa's and hung out and it was fun, i love being around family!

good baking weather

it's chilly outside! i love this time of year, it's my favorite, probably because i love wearing comfy sweats and layering and the crisp air and the colors of nature. When jamie and me go get the mail, as one of our daily traditions, i wrap her in a fuzzy blanket and take her out and she squeals and her whole body tenses up and her smile is huge. This weather also is made for staying inside and baking..usually at night, which starts around 5:00 now! I have this recipe i want to make and i have all the ingredients, but i am waiting until i have a reason to make it. Probably will make it for thanksgiving! it looks soo yummy, devil's food cake with marshmallow fluff and more chocolate and peanuts...ahhh. i can't wait!

still figuring it out

this blog thing is tricky. i want to post picts a certain way, but am not sure how. so bear with me as i clumsily try. Here are a few more super cute ones of miss jamers. apparently this blog will be dedicated to mostly her, which is fine. But as a side note.. i am excited for the election tomorrow, mostly excited that it will be over. i am nervous for whoever wins and anxious to see everyones reaction to the victor. should be interesting...

Halloween

This year was Miss Jamie's first Halloween. She was a giraffe in honor of her once favorite toy Girrard. Her current favorite toy can be seen in the picture next to her, which is George her monkey. She kisses George all day long and giggles after each kiss, it's pretty cute. On halloween we went down to Billy's work and showed off her costume and visited daddy's new office. It was a nice time and everybody loved her outfit. That night we passed out candy then went to Mimi and Papa's house and hung out and then Jeremy and fam came over too. I really love unplanned hanging out like that, it is so much more relaxed and enjoyable. It was a good first halloween. Next year we'll probably take her out and that'll be even more fun to see her face light up with candy joy!
