November: Welcome Sprout!

The big news in November was the addition of another little one to our daily routine. "The Teacher" had to go back to work and little "Sprout" (because she has grown so much faster than our little "Bean") came to stay with Haley and I during the day. The girls enjoy the company already and will even more as they get older.

I was a little concerned about Haley pestering Sprout, so I bought her a baby doll...she loves it, but isn't terribly gentle...so, mixed results there!

For Thanksgiving we got to be with Chad's family. I think maybe someone else got a better picture, but this was the best I got with my timer. :)

A little Wyoming fan in the classic Flinstone-mobile. Thanks for sharing, Amelia!

Music lessons with Daddy.

Halloween

(edited to say: Since I can't seem to keep up with my own blog, I'm going to post-date a few of these!)

I know this is months and months after the fact, but couldn't resist going back in the archives to post this picture.

(also added later: No, Daddy and I ate most of her candy...it's a pretty good racket!)

Just Hanging Out

No big event here....just "hanging" with Mom. :)

Pint-sized Pals

Brooklyn came to visit us for the afternoon a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time. Haley thought that Brooklyn was just hilarious. Please come play again! :)

More Adventures in Missouri

We took another trip home in September. The girls had a lot more fun together this time since they are both mobile now. Tenny walks like a pro and Haley perfected her crawling technique while we were home.

Chad caught a monster bass in the pond where we got married that tipped the scale around 6 1/4 pounds. So we got a "family picture". :)

The whole crew again.







There are more pictures of the trip in my photo album (http://lerwickcircus.smugmug.com/) and Karen's (http://melendyzoo.smugmug.com/) if you should wish to see them.

New Cousin, continued . . .

I'm sorry I don't have a new picture to show here, but Haley's new little cousin is named Kendra Ann. From all reports she eats quite well and is a cheerful little thing. :)

Look out World, Haley's Mobile!

Well, Miss Haley started crawling last Friday. She had been teasing us for several weeks, so we were pretty excited. This was taken just after she had crawled halfway across the living room. Of course I didn't get that on video though!


So I've been trying to get a better video since Friday and finally got this last night. She seems to have a rather modified method, but manages to get around quite well. She's quite attracted to anything with lights and cords, so our electronics are now in grave danger!
