Haircuts!

So I have been sick of my hair for awhile and last night I decided to go ahead and cut it. So...I took a nice pair of scrapbooking scissors and cut 7 inches off my hair! And boy was it ugly and uneven. Malo loves my hair long so he said since I chopped mine, he was going to shave his....so he grabbed his beard trimmers and a pair of scissors and went to work! Funny thing is....his beard trimmers ran out of juice....and when I went to bed, THIS is what Malo looked like....hahahahaha!!!

And as always, I have to post a picture of Aspen!!

Sad Jeep Sighting...

So I was driving behind my old Jeep last night. It was sad. There was an old guy driving it. I was sad. I know it was mine because it still had the scratch on the side that a friend accidentally scratched up on the Jeep. I should get over missing my little Jeep, but I can't when we are living in the same town and there is a chance I will see her again just driving along minding my own business. Sad. Sad. Sad.

Our little snow bunny!!! :-)

So we woke up this morning to the first snow of the season....and I was super excited to get some pictures of Aspen enjoying her first snow with her little bunny hat! Malo and I LOVE snow....and all the activities that go along with it, so we were SO HAPPY that Aspen seemed to really enjoy the snow...and she giggled when the snowflakes fell on her little nose.....here she is with Daddy ready to head outside!!!You can barely tell its snowing in this picture, but I wanted a picture with the AUTUMN leaves! Its crazy to have snow in October...but it seems like every year it snows in October. Crazy Colorado! :)
Look at her cute little smile! Our little snowbunny!
Daddy and daughter enjoying the snow coming down!
And Daddy keeping Aspen warm. This picture is especially sweet for me because when Malo and I first started dating, he would always open up his jacket (it was wintertime) and I'd snuggle up inside his jacket with him and hug and then he'd wrap the coat around us both....so when he did that with Aspen, it was just so sweet.

Pictures....

I just wanted to share some pictures of Aspen. Apparently Malo has been trying to get Aspen to hold her bottle when he feeds her (I had no idea) and today she did it! I was cooking dinner and I hear Malo yell, "Squirty, come look at wee-wee" and there she is sitting on his lap holding her own bottle. So of course I grab the camera to take a picture....why? Because I am a dork! :)
Just another angle. She didn't hold onto it for a real long time, like maybe 2 minutes. But hey, I didn't even know she could even think about doing it. Props to daddy for helping her do stuff! :) This is the best book, "Guess how much I love you." And I found this HUGE book a couple days after we found out about Aspen....and I HAD to get it. And she really enjoys being read to...and she rolls all over the place and rolled onto this book herself...looks like she's analyzing the book....and see how intent she looks? She's the best! :)

I just love this picute! The shoes she's wearing...I bought those like 4 1/2 years ago...
Here she is figuring out that when she manages to hit the toy, it makes noise! :)
Carrots + Aspen = HUGEST messes ever! :)

Leify is here!

Aspen has a new cousin as of today! :-) Little Leify looks just like his daddy, Leif (Malo's youngest brother)! :-) We'll get to meet them in a little over a month when Leif, Lurlyn and Baby Leif come out to visit!!! Welcome to the world!!! :-)

So happy

Aspen is such a happy wonderful little girl! There were several pictures I was trying to post, but for some reason, this is the only one that took. I'll try again another day. We are so blessed to have her in our family; she is such a joy. She is so happy and loving and snuggly. I can't imagine our lives without her, I don't know how we were even happy before she came along. She is absolutely the best!!! :-)

My baby's getting big!!

Aspen had her 4 month well-baby check up today....she is getting so big! She is now 26 inches long!!! And she weighs 13 lbs, 2 oz. Since she is getting so big, I thought I'd share some of the things she has started doing:

• Yesterday she sat up all by herself for almost 2 seconds!
• She has great head and neck control and will sit up tall when held
• She rolls regularly onto her tummy and occasionally can get all the way around and back onto her back again.
• She sticks anything she can get her hands on in her mouth!
• She LOVES to watch us eat and she'll open her mouth when we are eating.
• She sits in her high chair and plays with toys on the tray while mommy cooks
• She has gotten to where she will not go to sleep without a snuggly blanket and a soft toy
• She is laughing ALL the time!
• She has just discovered her feet! She will analyze them and tug at them....she hasn't yet gotten them into her mouth...but I have the camera ready and waiting for the moment!!

Hmmmm....there's lots more, but these are the newest things!! :-)
