Happy Anninversary

Today is our 12 year wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary Jeff!

A few weeks ago Adele and I were wandering around in the woods when we found what I call "The Vista." It is about a 4 minute walk from the house and makes a wonderful destination for a short walk, or a nice starting point for a longer hike. You can see part of the vista below, but it includes much more expansive views including Mount Evans and Grays and Torreys peaks.

There is a lovely aspen grove and open area near the vista. Here are my parents after we visited a couple weeks ago.


Auntie Di came to visit today. She and Adele enjoyed reading "Goodnight Moon" together. Adele seemed to have no interest in books until last week. Now she actually loves them for more than just something to chew on! She came down with an ear infection last week and I think that she enjoyed just looking at the picture books instead of playing. It has been a rough week, but I'm happy to say that she seems to be doing much better this evening.



I'm happy to report that she didn't try to bite the book once!

Adele is still having fun!

Adele is still doing the "army crawl" but she's a lot faster at it. She really enjoys pulling herself around the house and exploring. Just this week she's starting to pull up on things. I had a shocking moment on Saturday when I went in to get her from a nap and she was standing up in her crib looking at me. She was just beaming with pride and accomplishment while my jaw almost hit the floor!

She is starting to feed herself cheerios and pieces of fruits and veggies. Sometimes, she thinks that she can feed herself with the spoon as you can see below. She gets it in her mouth about 75% of the time!

Guest Baby: ZOE!!

This post is all about Zoe who was born 10 days after Adele. Zoe is a lot bigger than Adele and she is about to walk any day. Isn't she adorable?!!

Baby Wanna-be's

Look who Jeff found in Adele's crib the other day!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July! Adele celebrated with her new cowboy rubber ducky and patriotic red, white, and blue outfit. I think her first Independence day was a good one! Hope yours was too.

Happy 8 month birthday Adele!

Adele on the move

Adele is starting to get around. She isn't officially crawling, but more like pulling herself around. Here she is with grandma hoping to dive into the toy bin.
