Go go go...

I am enjoying being back at work, but it seems like we're always on the go!! We had a great time in Columbia last weekend visiting family and celebrating with Aaron's friend as he got married. It went really fast, though.

Sweetpea has been feeling a lot better lately. She's giving kisses all the time now! Here's a video of her giving a kiss. She also learned at daycare how to sign please. On the drive home this past weekend she also said "flower." It seems like almost every day now she is doing something new - it's very exciting!

Sick baby :(

Sweetpea has had a stomach virus for the last couple days. It started Thursday night and we thought she was getting better until tonight after dinner when she threw up everything we had tried to feed her. Poor baby. :( She picked a really bad time to get sick, though, because I start working again tomorrow so it's not really a day I can miss. So, we're hoping she's feeling better in the morning.

We had company this past week. My Aunt Kathy and Uncle Bruce came up with grandma and grandpa E. We had lots of fun going to a Chiefs game and keeping Sweetpea entertained! :)

Here's a picture of Sweetpea cuddling with her daddy today!

Hot Weekend!

It has been a really hot weekend! Luckily we had a pool party Saturday so that was good weather for that. Sweetpea slept through almost all of it, though. She took a 4 hour nap!!! When she did get up, she played a little with her water table, but didn't want to get into the pool. The water was still a little cold!

Sweetpea had fun seeing Noah again. He kept saying "Em-ma." It was very cute!

Today we went to Wildlife Prairie Park with some of her baby friends. They had a really good brunch that we enjoyed and then we walked around a little. But, it was really hot so we didn't stay too long. We took a quick train ride around the park. Here's a picture of Sweetpea on the train.

Big girl!

Tonight at dinner, Sweetpea used her fork by herself! We've been practicing a little and she's getting a lot better. At one point she used the fork to pick up four pieces of macaroni in a row! Then she went back to her fingers, but I was so proud!
She survived two full days of daycare while I was at meetings the last couple days. I felt bad because we had to wake her up in the mornings, but she seemed to do alright. On the car ride home tonight she kept talking about something - I guess she was telling me what she did with her friends at school. :) I taught her how to give kisses and she can blow kisses, but sometimes instead of putting her hand over her mouth she puts her hand over her head. We'll get it down!
Then tonight during bath time I looked in her mouth and saw that a new tooth had popped up! I didn't even notice it coming, but her right molar came in. She wouldn't let me look for others!
Here's a video of her using her fork tonight at dinner.
We're going to see Noah tomorrow morning for breakfast - it's been way too long! Sweetpea should have a good time seeing her buddy!

Shoes!!

Sweetpea had macaroni and beef tonight - what a mess! It was everywhere! I guess yesterday at daycare they did sponge painting. She put the sponge in the paint and then put it right in her mouth. YUCK! Needless to say there was some paint on her outfit. But, they said after they showed her how to do it she started painting the right way!

Today was water day at daycare so they got to play outside in baby pools. They said Sweetpea didn't really get into the water, though. She really enjoys this blue couch they have where she can read books.

We bought some new shoes for Sweetpea yesterday. Her feet grew a whole size bigger! I think she is a little obsessed with shoes, though, because she likes to play with any shoes she sees. Here's a video of her getting daddy's shoe and putting it on. She kept wanting to wear daddy's shoes this afternoon!

first day of daycare!

Sweetpea had a great time at daycare today! When I dropped her off she went right over to the toys and started playing. Then when I said goodbye she started to cry a little, but it didn't last too long. When I went to pick her up this afternoon she was eating snack and didn't even get out of her chair to greet me, she just waved and went right back to eating her goldfish! :) Then she wanted to play some more. Hopefully she remembers how much fun she had when we go back tomorrow! Here's a picture of her after daycare today. She's holding her school note that said what fun she had playing outside and with the shaker toys!

Back from Vacation!

We're back from Wisconsin. It's nice to be home, but vacation was really nice, too! We stayed at Fox Hills Resort and daddy got in lots of golf! We also got quite a bit of swimming in, which Sweetpea really enjoyed. Sweetpea is running everywhere now, which often leads to falling unfortunately. So her knees are all scabbed up. We had quite a few falls in Wisconsin, but they are looking a lot better now and we haven't had a big fall in awhile.

Sweetpea begins daycare tomorrow. I hope I'm ready for this! I just hope she doesn't cry too long because I think if she starts to play she'll find it's lots of fun! Here are a couple pictures from Wisconsin.
