Getting Some Fresh Air

Isn't it a "rule" of mommy hood that you have to have at least one picture of your child running around with no diaper and flaunting their bum proudly? Well, I've got my famous naked butt shot! My favorite picture is of Clover outside on our balcony holding on to the bars like shes in jail! Could it get more white trash than this, Ha! I don't really let my child just go naked all the time, she has had a little bit of diaper rash so I figured some fresh air would do her bum some good. So enjoy, and I know Clover will enjoy these pictures when I whip them out on her first date!!!

Baby Steps

Clover is walking, well sorta. She can take about 5-6 steps but she is getting better and braver everyday (and she's not even 11 months old yet, i have a super baby, but I'm bias of coarse!!!) I still have to bribe her to come to me with a pacifer or her precious puff snacks but once in awhile I will catch her out of the corner of my eye letting go of the couch or table and taking a few little steps on her own. She will be running in no time. Then we will be training her to be a world class athlete so she can become rich and famous and take care of her parents when we get old!

Walking Soon

Clover is so close to walking. She is getting around great; standing up on everything, walking around objects, she can stand alone for long periods of time, and if you coax her with something she wants she will take one little step on her own. She will take steps when you hold her hands but she just hasn't quite got the courage to walk all on her own yet. I think in the next month, before she turns 1 (yeah, she is turning 1 in august if you can believe it, this year has gone by so fast) she will be walking like a champ. i can't wait!

Friends

Me, Katie and Tricia (of whom I've been friends with since junior high) took our kids to the park to play. Here are the little monsters... They look so cute when they sit there nicely and smile for a picture...... (But surprisingly they are all pretty good kids)

Artsy Fartsy

I have been trying to become a more artsy mom. I have decided that I am going to start to make stuff. I don't know what kind of stuff I'm going to make, just whatever tickles my fancy. One of my first projects was this family sign. I just went to Michaels and got all my supplies, which pretty much consisted of wood and spray paint. I am not very creative so i had to repaint my wood a few times before I was happy with it but I think it looks pretty darn good. It is a sign with our name, our marriage year and our names below. I plan on hanging it up next to the front door. If I decide to get real ambitious I want to make cute little crafts for the house for every holiday..... We'll see...

Summer Time Fun in the Sun!
