Pumpkin Carving!

Today we spent the afternoon at Zach's parents, playing and carving pumpkins. Although Drina still has a cold, she had a great time.

Since it was cold and we couldn't go outside with the pumpkins we set up a little pumpkin patch inside!

Pumpkins and toys! What more can you ask for?

Toots!

Hide and Seek


Fun!


All worn out!

Little pumpkin for our Little Pumpkin!


Observing the techniques...

Ok, now put those techniques to use!



Success!

9 months old!

It's so hard to believe it, Audrina is 9 months old!

She still has 2 teeth, loves to eat, and is pulling herself up on everything she can find! We think she'll be walking by her 1st birthday... if not sooner!

Today we had a day to ourselves, first time in a while! We had great time just playing with Drina and getting stuff done around the house...

Ready to do yard work!

Ready to go to the park!

LOVE swinging!

One more Halloween costume. Pea in the pod. She's already outgrown it, but sill cute...

Yes, her legs should be inside, and the hat should clasp!

Love it!

Happy Birthday James!

Happy 1st Birthday to James!

Saturday we went up to Longmont to celebrate James' 1st birthday with his friends and family. We had a great time, and are excited to plan Audrina's 1st here soon!

Decent family photo...

Drina loves playing with all of James' toys,

and his birthday balloons.

and especially the band in a box that James got for a birthday present! She kept herself occupied with it the whole time James was opening his gifts... I'm going to have to find one for our house.

More Kandids

Wow we're going to miss her while we're in Vegas!

Thank you Shannon for having these done!

Mom, take cute pics while we're gone... Kandids not necessary, just the cute Drina!

Lots of pictures

As you can see Audrina has gone through quite the growth spurt lately! I look at her and cannot believe how big she has gotten!

Practicing for Halloween... not that we have plans, or really plan on doing anything, but the cute pictures are worth it.

We have loved this great fall weather! Audrina loves to crawl around in the grass and hunt down the leaves.

Oh there's one!

Almost...

Got it! ...straight to the mouth, we take it away and she hunts down the next one! This went on and on and on... but we had a lot of fun.

Hey this guy is my size!

Posing.
Showing off her new standing skills. Not interested in walking, but starting to pull up on different things. She mostly likes to crawl up my lap and pull on my legs to heft herself up. Very cute.

Zach and I were in Vail this past weekend for an architect conference for work. The trees were beautiful! Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures...
Family! Its impossible to get all 3 of us to look at the camera at once.
Oh well!

8 months

Go ahead wrap me up!

So many toys, so little time...

Hooray being 8 months old is so much fun!

Audrina is now a master crawler and jumper! She is not yet pulling herself up on things (thankfully since we haven't baby-proofed). She loves to do a tri-pod stand with her butt straight up in the air, so I think standing is just around the corner.

She has 2 teeth that are almost all the way up and and top one working its way out, which has given us some 'fun' days lately!

Crawling

Ready...

set...

Go!!

Now there is no stopping me!

Hooray!
