FINALLY sitting up!!! :)

So I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for Aspen to sit up on her own for more than like 2 seconds at a time for a looooong time now....and the last few days, she has been doing it!!! YAY! Here are a couple pics from the last couple days of her looking like a big girl!! (Of course, when she's tired, she just falls straight back! But then she laughs because she thinks its fun...especially when daddy's around...you should hear the laughter come out of this little one!!!)

We love snow!

Family in town!

Last weekend Aspen got to see her Aunt Lurlyn and Uncle Leif again....and got to meet her adorable new cousin, Leif! It was so great to have them in town for the weekend and Aspen loved little Leify. She was so cute with him; she kept trying to steal his pacifier from him; she actually got it out of his mouth and into hers super fast! She also would just prop herself up and look at him, and she loved to hold his hand. So here are some pics (thanks Lurlyn...I stole the binky pics of your page!): p.s. Her 2nd tooth came through last weekend, too!

First tooth!!!

My baby girl is growing up way too fast! Her first tooth finally poked through today (she's been working on it for awhile now). Its a bottom tooth and just barely poking through, but you can sure feel the sharp little razor-like thing! :)

I should probably mention...

...that I'm pregnant. :) That's all!

Body Clock....

So no one tells the babies that the time has changed. My little one has gotten up at 5am the last two days...and I tell her it is not time to get up yet and she just looks up at me and laughs (seriously!). I hope her little body clock will start to match the time clock real soon....cuz 5am comes awful early and I can never go back to sleep once I get up in the morning. And that makes for 1 tired mommy! :) This is what I want her to still be doing at 5am:

And this is what she's *actually* doing at 5am!

Happy Halloween!

Here is Aspen and her daddy in her cute little turtle costume. My niece, Abby asked me what Aspen was going to be for Halloween and I told her a turtle and she says, "Oh Aunt Yvonne, you picked that out for her yourself, didn't you?" Yes, Abby, indeed I did. She made me laugh. I really miss my nieces and nephews; they are all in WA.

Back view of the turtle costume! :) (She is laughing in this picture, I should point out...)

Aspen getting ready for her first pumkim carving!

And she really liked how the inside of the pumpkin felt!
