Working Backwards...Starting with October

Here's a recap of the last few months that I never got around to blogging about...

Working backwards...starting with the month of October...

My Little Pumpkin

She's crawling!

Determination

Happy Girl!

Just a jumpin'

Who's this guy?

Practicing standing with Daddy's help

Crawling gets me there faster

On to walking with some help from Daddy

Eating finger foods

"mmmmmm"

Looking so cute during her nap that I had to take a picture of the monitor :)

Watching the other babies at our playdate

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Last year, we didn't do anything because I felt huge and wanted to be in bed early :) This year, we had a precious little bug to dress up, so we had some friends come over who have little ones close to Ella's age and we all went trick or treating together. We only went to 2 houses because the kids were ready to be out of their costumes, but we had a blast (or at least all of us parents did)!

So Far Behind

I am so far behind on blogging! I can't believe my last post was back in October :( Where does the time go??? I am going to get better at keeping my blog up to date in 2011. I'm going to start with this post and then work backwards with some posts I've been meaning to get around to such as Halloween pics, Thanksgiving, Ella's 9 month stats and photos, Getting Ready for Christmas, and some great times with friends and family. All these and more to come soon (blog overload headed your way). For now, here's our family Christmas card :)

Merry Christmas from our family to yours...

Pumpkin Patch Part 1

We met up with the Guinns at the Pumpkin Patch for some fall photos. We had a great time despite the October heat and the girls did great posing for pictures in the tutus. Ella wanted to put all the pumpkins in her mouth, along with her tutu. I can't believe she will be 9 months old on Halloween. Time is going by way too fast. She is just blossoming before our eyes and growing up so much. I'm impressed we got so many great pictures, because she doesn't want to sit still too much now that she can crawl around. Thanks Trey, Julee, & baby Joy for joining us in the pumpkin patch; it was a lot of fun! Looking forward to Halloween and dressing the girls up again for trick or treating :)

More pumpkin pics coming soon...still filtering through the hundreds we took...

Go Aggies!

Playing With Picasa

I was told about Picasa by a friend who loves it! I'm totally addicted!!! It's so fun to play with your pictures and create collages and put frames around them and add text and....I could go on and on. Here's a fun little collage I created this evening with some of Ella's best black & white photos from her 6 month photo shoot. So fun!!!
