The Littlest Leprechaun

Happy St. Patrick's Day

When did this happen?

Seriously...when did she get so big?



It seems like only yesterday she was under seven pounds. Now she's 20 lbs of budding fashionista. Stay tuned for a nine month update.

Catching up

Last weekend, Teeg and I packed up and headed to my hometown for a birthday celebration. We met up with Leanne and Thorn for a girls weekend and had a blast. Thorn is so sweet and so smart! He has quite the vocabulary and impressed his mother and I, telling us what Mr. Hanky from South Park says. I totally love that kid! And so does Teegen! She and Thorn would get nose-to-nose and she would laugh so hard.

We were there to celebrate Ashton's 5th birthday! Ashton's mom and I have been friends since we were nine. And what a celebration at the Natural History museum. Teegen slept through the party, but Thorn loved running through the museum.

It was a great weekend. Can't wait until the next one!

Thorn and Teegen. They love each other so much!

Maybe they love each other too much. We always seem to catch them midsmooch

No more pictures please

Sometimes, she just takes my breath away

Caught red-handed

Earlier this week, it became apparent that crawling was simply not enough for Teegen. Oh no, she felt the need to pull up. Here is what I saw when I went to get her out of bed this morning.

Oh, Hi Mommy, I was just checking out the room

I didn't know pulling up was so much fun.

Umm....is this something I shouldn't be doing?

I'm posting that final picture so people can check out her hair, which has exploded with growth over the last few weeks. I think that she is going to have some curls.

No to dinner!

Teegen's newest trick is shaking her head no. Here is a battle for dinner tonight. This girl cracks me up on a daily basis. What did we do before she came along?

Baby's First Snow Day

We were hit with quite the winter storm last night. Finally a snow day that does not involve freezing rain or the dreaded wintery mix.

This was also Teegen's first snow day. Granted we spent some time in Jackson Hole this winter, but this is the first home-grown snow fall. She sunk right into the snow, but seemed to like it.

"Oh Mommy, this snow is so fun!"

Teegen's thoughts on American Idol

One minute she was chatting with her daddy...then American Idol came on and she immediately fell asleep. My thoughts as well!

Crazy Eights

Sorry for all of the wordless posts lately! We've been a bit busy and overwhelmed lately. More on that sooner, rather than later I hope.

Can you believe that Teegen is 8 months old already? It completely blows my mind. Eight months have gone by so quickly! Before you know it, she will be asking for the credit card.

Teegen has changed so much in the last month. And she is so funny. She has quite the sunny disposition. So what is she doing now?

• Says "mamamama," "dadadada," and "bababababa" a lot
• Mastered the art of crawling
• Shortly after mastering the art of crawling, realized that she can also pull herself up on her knees
• Is still working on those top front teeth
• Talks in her sleep, particularly when she is waking up or going to sleep
• Can pull herself into a sitting position from lying on her belly
• Loves to scream to simply hear herself
• Moved from the infant carseat to her "toddler" car seat. Seems to love it, but still facing backward.
• Is discovering how to make many of her toys make noise (now if only I could figure out how to turn them off)
• Loves puffs and tries to see how many she can fit into her mouth

Giving Mom the "look"

I think the shirt says it all

This girl is on the move now. Oh are we in trouble.

Finally a hairbow!

Because every little girl needs a hair bow!
