Lorelei's first birthday

I still have not found my camera cord!

So Jared's cousin Erica so kindly sent me pictures of Lorelei's first birthday. I will post more about that later.

We've been dealing with water damage to our home due to the ice, getting a new furnace/ac and water heater... and a bunch of little things with the cars. Isn't God not supposed to give you more debt than you can handle? I kinda think I remember something like that!

Enjoy the pictures!

Happy ground hogs day

So if the ground hog was in Indianapolis he would have suffocated last night because of the ice. So I guess it will be winter forever!
As for us...
Lorelei began school last week and came down with a really really bad cold. I will write more later but to sum it all up she's been very miserable, we've had horrible weather that closed down my office for two days and I have an upper respiratory infection.

I am looking for my camera cord, and once I find it I will post more pictures of Lorelei, but until then enjoy these words...

The groundhog didn't see his shadow! (I can't believe what a big production that is in the first place!)

Here's the progress!

After we lived through the toughest week of our lives we were blessed to have these amazing milestones to grace our household!

November 12th-
I'm 9 months old!
November 14th-
Lorelei pulls herself to a stand while sitting on the edge of her carseat!
November 17th-
Lorelei said her first word "look"... I think she's just sassy and is saying "Look now, I don't want to eat this mush! Give me a steak!"
November 18th-
Lorelei cut her first tooth!
November 27th-
Lorelei learned how to crawl and she got her second tooth!
November 28th-
Lorelei slept without waking up... 6pm-5am!

I will put pictures up soon. She's getting so big.
OHHH and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is preparing not only in decorations but in their spirit for this amazing holiday season!

Halloween

So Lorelei has been talking A LOT! She has not actually said a word, but she babbles and says "yea" pretty often. She laughs ALL the time, and is easily happy by watching other babies. But when she's alone she's hard to entertain! She's doing great though. She will be 9 months old on the 12th and then we'll find out how much she weighs and how long she is.

For halloween she was a ladybug and Smokey was a skeleton. We had a great time. That day we went to see Grandma Nancy and Uncle Jerry at Ruby Tuesdays! Then we spent the evening at our neighbors "Aunt Mel's"

So Lorelei is eating pureed foods and the melt away yogurt and puffs... and the biter biscuits that I have called many times "bitter biscuits"... She's also mainly breastfed with a bottle or two of formula a day. I really think adding the formula has helped her digestion and hydration.

Lets see... I really think that's all the big things that I will mention!

Enjoys the pictures to come!

New pictures are up!
