Thanksgiving

This was our 1st Thanksgiving as a family & I've got to say this was the best! From the pictures below you can see a good time was had by all. Melynn & Andy started the morning with a warm up nap & we went full force after that. She had mash potatoes, squash casserole, ham, & dressing for her Thanksgiving meal & as you can tell from the pictures absolutely loved it! We were at the family farm & enjoyed horse rides & a hayride. It was too cold for Miss Melynn to enjoy the the hayride so she, Andy, & I rode along in our truck where it was nice & toasty! She enjoyed looking at all the cows in the back pastures & petting the horses. She didn't know what to think about the horses but loved to touch their hair. She still has a major case of hair envy! Melynn is also teething right now so we had our meltdown moments but it was all taken with stride! Once we got home she was exhausted & took a long nap before bed on her sweet daddy. We are very thankful this year for our beautiful little red hair blessing! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

My 1st Turkey Day!!

9mth Melynn!

Melynn turned 9mths on November 19th, 2009. She now weighs 19lbs 3oz & is 28.75 inches long! She has discovered her voice & is very vocal(translation LOUD) & loves to call for her DA-DA. She seems to be very strong willed in what she wants to do so now she is learning the word "no". I'm sure it won't be long before it's coming right back at me. She continues to pull herself up on everything & tries to stand alone but isn't taking any steps yet aside from with her baby stroller or push toys. She crawls everywhere & loves to explore new rooms & manages to find any little speck of anything on the floor & decides she needs to taste it.... we vaccum alot. We are so proud of our little girl & can't wait to see what she accomplishes in the next month!
