Your 8 months old!! I cannot believe it! The older you get, the harder it is to get you to sit and take pictures in your chair! 

You are soooo much fun! Your laugh and smile melts our hearts everyday.  You were dedicated at church this month, you met your Uncle Simon, you had your first christmas & New Years.  2010 was mommy and daddy's favorite years because of YOU.  

You are eating stage 2 foods & eating little pieces of banana.

You are still wearing 6 month clothes in tops but your wearing 9 months(depending on the brand) in pants/jeans because your legs keep on growing.  

You LOVE playing peek a boo. 

We are so blessed to have you as our little girl and thank God for you EVERY day! 

Love, 

Mommy & Daddy

*Roll Over* & Sassie!

She did it.  My baby girl OFFICIALLY rolled over.  It happened Sunday, September 5th.  It happened a day to the year that I found out I was pregnant! We are so proud!! Yesterday, we had her 4 month appointment and found out she weighs 14lbs 9oz and is 25 1/4 inches long.  Dr. Sood says she will be taller than her momma! Yay! She won't have the same problem I do...that all my pants are wayyy to long!

Also, its been 3 years since we said goodbye to one of my best friends growing up...Sassie! She was the best dog in the whole world.  I miss her everyday and think of her often.  I know she would absolutely love Ava if she was still around.

I think that picture is the only picture we have of Sassie & Sugar together.  It was the last christmas Sassie was here to enjoy.

Sassie & I on my wedding day! I really wanted her to be the flower girl but the catholic church would not allow it...

We miss you Sassie!! We still love you!
