New Happenings

Well nothing earth shattering happened this past week, unless you count that we got some great pictures of Ada being adorable (yet again!-jeez kid how do you do it?) She keeps progressing in her rolling over phase, doing it better and better each time, and is honing her hand-eye coordination by taking her Binky out of her mouth constantly, which unfortunately does not always work out so well and she get very frustrated. But take a look at her cuteness!

Check out my friends! Do you recognize them?
Nope, Bambi is mine!

My new hat and mittens. Do you think the hat's too big?

Two Holes

Well our little girl now has two holes permanently in her. No she did not have any bad reactions to shots or the like, but she got her ears pierced. We decided that even though the small town in which we live is in fact small, that does not mean that our finances can accommodate us going down to I.F. (Idaho Falls- another smallish town about 30 mins away with a rather un-imaginative moniker) whenever we wish. So we have decided that we will go down once a month for some great family fun...so what better to do then get Adas' ears pierced?

We are glad that we did it now rather than later. Adas' big, strong Daddy even had a hard time keeping her a still as he could! Now, many of you may know that I have a huge irrational fear of all things related to needles, so I had no real desire to be anywhere in the vicinity. However, I had to help keep her calm and try, however unsuccessfully, to soothe her. Luckily, due to clever apparatus configurations, there was no needle in sight, which made it much easier for me. But Ada now has two permanent holes in her ears, bearing her beautiful red birthstone (which for those of you who know Josh know how much he hates color red, but after some deliberation decided not to let his personal dislikes affect our daughter-way to go Josh!) Anyway, what do you think?

Um...what did you want me to do again?
Partially strangled by butterflies!

How's this face?!

It's Cold Out There!!

Well "winter" has officially hit, even though the calendar says it's still Autumn; that's South East Idaho for you. It has flurried the past few days, and today it snowed/rained, but tonight they are forecasting 1-3 inches of accumulated snow. At least I can have fun with Ada in the snow and we are very grateful that church is right across the street! So we won't have to warm up Fred (the car) for 30 mins to drive 5 mins to church with other crazy drivers who act like they have never seen snow before and drive even worse then they already do! Anyway, again Ada never ceases to be extremely adorable to enjoy her never ending outpouring of happiness (ok she's not always happy but is sometimes fussy as we think she is already teething!!)

Leaning forward in earnest to get Bert (the frog so christened by Josh)
Gotcha!
See? Told you I'd get him.

Our baby girl is always smiley in the morning
Loving her bear jacket/suit which protects her from the elements...so far!
