So Much to be Thankful For!

Mylie is thankful for so much this year!
Leaves to put in her hair

Her daddy who loves to play with her

Mike the Hula Monkey and her cute bug to ride at Grandpa Dobbs's house

Eating Mac N Cheese at Nonna and Papa's house

Eucerin cream and new pacifiers at Grami and GranDan's house (her cheeks were so chapped from the cold weather)

And a momma and daddy who have been "an item" for 10 years as of November 17th!

11 Months

Mylie was 11 months on October 28th.

She's not walking just yet, but she does pull up on anything and everything.

She is reading though (ha).

This is her new favorite face.



11 months later and she is still such a little delight. She is still a really happy little girl, but we can see a bit of attitude coming out in her. I guess this was bound to happen, and at this point, we think her sass is quite cute.

We will be celebrating her 1st birthday in Albuquerque with our families over the Thanksgiving holiday. We are so thankful for our sweet Mylie.

Chicken Little

Here are some pictures of Mylie in her Halloween costume. Isn't she the cutest chicken around? And doesn't she look exactly like David in these pictures?

Wedding & Eating

Mylie and I were in Carlsbad last week for Melissa's wedding. We had such a good time staying at Grandma Dobbs's house and visiting with everyone in town for the wedding. Also, I was once again reminded by all the pictures of Mylie, just how much this baby eats!



Here Mylie is eating (or devouring) cream cheese/marshmallow fruit dip. She really liked it and got mad when we took it away.

And here are some wedding pictures...



After being gone for 8 days (we also went to ABQ for a short visit after the wedding), we were ready to get home and see David. He had to go to Napa Valley, CA for work. We felt really sorry for him (yea right!).

Trip to Houston!

It seems like we just can't stay away from our old pals in Houston. We've been lucky to see everyone on occasion and always have just as much fun! We thought we'd welcome the fall season by taking a trip to the pumpkin patch...then we remembered that fall doesn't begin until after Christmas in Houston. It was quite warm.









Mylie enjoyed the bounce house. We let her play in it before the big kiddos got in.

10 Months

Mylie was 10 months old on September 28th. I say this every month, but can you believe it? And every month, I say "nope." She is growing up. She's still pretty petite. I bought her a pair of shoes today and 3-6 month shoes are still too big on her and the other day, she wore a 3-6 month outfit. It makes me and David laugh because we really thought we would have an enormous baby. However, we absolutely love her just the way she is and would not change one thing!




She is crawling everywhere and pulls up on just about anything. She doesn't seem too interested in walking, but she will stand up and push her pushcart across the living room floor. She now has 5 teeth and eats nonstop (she must get this from me). I gave her some chocolate milk the other day and while it was a good idea in the beginning, she was extremely upset when it was all gone. She loves to play with our cell phones, even though she has her own pretend cell phone (Fisher Price AND David's old Nokia), she somehow knows the difference between ours and hers. She also loves to crawl over to the stereo and push the on/off button. She claps a lot and waves bye bye, while trying to say bye bye. The most simple things to us are such huge milestones for her and we loves watching her learn and grow.

Uploading Trouble

We're having some trouble uploading new pictures. As soon as I can figure out what is going on, I'll post new pictures of Mylie. I have LOTS to post too.
