After the birthday Cake

Now you can see our little performer.

Big Birthday Bash!!

On Oct. 9th, Danica turned 1 years old. We had family and a few friends over to celebrate her birthday. We had appetizers to eat and of course birthday cake (that Heidi made). We gave Danica some birthday cake to eat. She actually didn't make a really big mess but she sure enjoyed the sugar. Once she was bathed and in her pj's it was birthday present opening time. By that time, the sugar was really starting to do its job. Danica was smiling and performing for everyone. Here are a few pictures to show the fun she had.

Pumpkins

Last weekend we went to a pumpkin ranch outside of the city. We bought some pumpkins and also had to get some pics of Danica with the pumpkins.

September photos

As you can see from the pcitures, Danica is getting into everything. She will shake her head when she does things that she knows that she is suppose to do.

Fun times

Danica is feeling much better now. She seems to be on a regular schedule at daycare also. I am still enjoying work although work is going to get a little crazy busy very soon. Tim starts work back at City Hall this Monday. He has a 6 month contract working on a different project. After the 6 months, he will be back at the water treatment plant. He will be back for perogy Thursdays. Ryan, Ange and Cora came to visit on Saturday. The girls are starting to sorta play together. Danica likes to take the toys from Cora. I think that Cora kinda felt that her personal space was being invaded. Danica really enjoys being around other kids.

August pics

I am now back to work. I started back on Monday. Danica is at a daycare now. She really likes playing with all the kids. She is only napping once a day so she is pretty tired when I go and pick her up. This week Danica got an ear infection. She ended up sleeping in bed with us. Last night Tim ended up sleeping in the basement. He took this picture in the morning when we were sleeping. I think Danica is on the mend now which is good.

Dani updates

Danica can now hold her own bottle (but prefers if someone else holds it). She hasn't really taken to a sippy cup yet. She is crawling and pulling herself up. She has heard 'no' quite a bit in the last month. Danica pulls toys out of the box. She likes to take toys out one at a time. I have really enjoyed spending the summer with her at home. I start work on August 27th and Danica will be going to daycare. Life will definitely be interesting.

More pics

Danica really enjoyed banging on the piano.

Tim's holidays

Tim has holidays this week so we took the opportunity to go to Lower Fishing Lake. The weather wasn't great but it was still fun to get away from the city. As soon as we got to the cabin, we took Danica down to the water to dip her feet in. It was really windy but she seemed to really enjoy it. One wave crashed into her and soaked her shorts. I cared more then she did. It was free fishing last weekend so my Dad, Tim and I went fishing one night. Tim caught 3 fish but they were all too small to keep. Tim had fun catching them. The cabin doesn't have a bath tub so we had to use a rubbermaid tub instead. She loved her new tub. She played and splashed for a long time. She pulled herself up in the tub too. We were all proud of her. Danica is very close to crawling but just doesn't quite do it. She can go backwards but not forwards.

Splish Splash

Today Tim and I put Danica into her little baby pool to cool off. She wasn't so sure about it at first but then was happy splashing away. The pool is her size... little. It seemed to cool her off. Tim and I also got a little cooled off because of all the splashing that was going on.

Cousins

Here is a more recent picture of the cousins in their diapers laying on the Danica's crib. At one point they were both licking eachother's hand. It was quite cute.

Flower Baby

This past weekend was Jodie and Steve's wedding. It was a perfect day for the wedding. Danica and Cora were asked to be flower babies at the wedding. They were pulled down the aisle in a wagon. They did pretty good although Danica leaned back too far (to look at the ceiling fan in the church) and then couldn't sit back up again. She cried a little. Danica is quite tired today from the weekend so I expect she will be sleeping alot today.

Two teeth

I promised that I would post another picture of her teeth. You can see both of her bottom teeth in this picture. Last week Danica was a little more on the fussy side. I needed a few more patience.
