We have a walker!

Two days before turning 10 months, Belize unknowingly took a couple steps. Then upon turning 10 months she decided she wanted to walk, and so . . . she did!

Keri, Naya, Belize and I went to Madison beach on a hot day this week. The girls had fun in the water but Belize is getting more clingy and i had to be touching her the whole time. Note the difference in eating watermelon between the girls, it pretty much sums up their personalities. :)

Why do babies want to eat everything?

We babysat the Olson kids Saturday and Sunday. It was quite the adventure having 5 children, and I'm glad that we get to have our own, one at a time. We had a lot of fun hanging out with the cousins, especially Belize who was played with and carried around the whole time.

One of my girls from Children's hospital got married and had her reception on Bremerton this weekend. This is Michelle, Jenna, and me.

Brannon and I celebrated our 4th year anniversary by going out to dinner at Ruth's Chris steakhouse- we had a gift certificate! And yes, i also got my hair done.

Belize is going into a lovey stage. She likes to snuggle her head into her stuffed animals, lay her head down on your shoulder and pat you gently on the back when she gives you a hug. i love it!!! She is also standing a lot more on her own.

Music to my ears . . . probably ONLY to my ears. :)

On Sundays, it's such a hassle to put Belize in a dress, so this sunday i slacked and put a skirt over her pajamas! She didn't seem to mind.
