My Mom Says I am Supposed to be Sleeping...

M loves the camera

The guest blogger (Romeo) is back with a super cute video of M!  Cheers!

Pumpkin Patch

We had an impromptu trip to the pumpkin patch today. We went to Andy and Danielle's today to pick up a few things, and the church next-door to their house had set up a pumpkin patch. 

M crawled around, searching for the perfect pumpkin. 

And success! She found it :)

Walking

Happy Birthday!

M turned one today! And it was a momentous day for many reasons, including that today--on October 8--M started walking. I did not have the camera out and on when she took her first steps. Or the next, or next...she took so many steps today, we were just in awe. I did pull out the camera just before bath time, but what I recorded is not nearly as impressive as what she was doing throughout the day.

I will do my best to get more walking videos tomorrow. And tomorrow we are celebrating M's birthday with family here in Denver, so more photos of cake, ice cream, and presents to come! 

Birthday Party #2

We had a great time celebrating M's birthday with the Hereau's on Thursday. Cake, presents, and best of all family--we had fun and cannot believe that tomorrow will be one year!

Bath Time for Baby

Bath on Wednesday...sorry I did not post yesterday! 

Birthday Party #1

I have been very busy with work these past few days, and thus am so glad that I was able to spend time with family on Sunday to have an early birthday celebration for M.

We had a spaghetti dinner--notice the mess?

And opened presents. Here M is hugging her new doggie pillow. 

Then we had cake. 

M shared hers with Sparty. 

This is just one of two birthday celebrations M will be having this week, the other will be with Grandma and Grandpa Hereau and her Hereau aunties, uncles and cousins. What a lucky little girl to have so many people who love her!

In Chicago

We arrived in Chicago yesterday, a beautiful Sunday that we spent visiting with family. Here M is sitting with Grandma and Great Grandma Schmieder:

Playing at Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve's house:

And at the Arboritum for the afternoon, pitured here with Grandpa but everyone went. We had such a great time enjoying the sunshine and fall colors. 



We also had a little cake and presents for early birthday...more on that tomorrow!

Play Date with the Other Colorado Hereau's

Today we drove to Woodland Park, CO to see Romeo's cousin Tony and his family. They moved from Chicagoland to Colorado in August. We had a great visit and M got to play with the girls.
