Nine Is Divine!

Happy 9 Month Birthday to you - to who - to you!

Lets take a look at what this little lady is up to at 9 months...

Being Sassy...

Walking slightly assisted!

Using every wall as a standing tool...

Drooling EVERYWHERE!  Several teeth working their way in.

Exploring the house from every angle...

Trying to escape to the backyard through the window = )

Still obsessed with all things Remi.

Getting her wardrobe ready for a month of weddings!  Mutti made her this beautiful dress to wear to Auntie Bri Bri's wedding = )

So pretty!  Up first - Sada's wedding this weekend!  Avery is excited to get dressed up = )

Coming up in October:

Sada's wedding, Bri's wedding, Avery's baptism, Melissa's wedding, and finally - Avery's 1st Halloween!  What does that mean...LOTS OF PICTURES!

Mommy's Back!!!

Mommy went to Miami this weekend without me!  Daddy and Grampa Steve played with me all weekend while Mommy was gone = )  They were very good and sent Mommy sweet pictures of me so that she wouldn't be too sad being away.

We watched a lot of football!

And pulled on poor Remi's tail...

I snuck in a bunch of naps while Mommy was gone...

Life is back to normal!

I Heart Dinner Time

Hello water my friend...

I love my water now!

I also like to be the cool kid at the dinner table...

I provide entertainment for everyone dining = )

Dole Beach Olympics

One of the events at the Sales Meeting last week was our own special Dole Beach Olympics!  Its always a tough day at work when you leave the office to go play in Malibu - Zuma Beach.  The day included an insanely delicious lunch from the Kogi food truck followed by tons of beach activities (volleyball, races, water balloon launching, beach jenga, beach scrabble...etc).  Here are a few pics from the day compliments of one of my friends/coworker - Shalini = )

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E

I love my new Minnie outfit from Auntie Aly!  I didn't want Mommy to get a shot of the whole front but if I had it would state the obvious...I'm ADORABLE = )

Pretty In Pink

Ready for church!

I found love at Golden Spoon

Avery & Jasper Playdate #3

We finished the week off with a fabulous playdate at Golden Spoon...fun for babies, delicious for mommies!  I apparently didn't bring out my camera so enjoy all of the fun via Jazzy's blog = )

Thank you so much for all of the fun, toys, and adorableness Mama Jen & Jazzy!  We had an amazing time with you and can't wait for the next playdate in ABQ!

These Kids are Crazy!

Trouble Maker #1 - Yeah, he looks innocent...

Trouble Maker #2 - Don't let her fool you!

Oh Jazzy, you're so funny = )

Picture time...not so funny...

Playdate #2

Jazzy, My Jazzy

Avery had an amazing time in California with her partner in crime - Jasper!  They had three fabulous playdates during the week...and of course they were well documented.  Mama Jen had a chance to upload a ton of pictures (and I can't compete with her comments) so I have included the link to her blog posts = )  I had to include a few pics of my own too!

The little lovebugs!

Mama Jen - baby whisperer

My Girlfriends Back And We're Gonna Get In Trouble

Me, Mommy & Mutti

A trip to Westlake Village calls for a fabulous Ladies Photo Shoot!  With the help of Aly & Missy we were able to capture some great 3 Generation pics = )

California Bound

Avery and I are off to Westlake Village, CA on Sunday for a fabulous week of work and play!  My Mom is joining us to play the role of babysitter all week while I work across the street at Dole.  We'll be roughing it at the Four Seasons - I try to treat my babysitters well = )  Avery is very very excited to get in play time with all of her favorite Westlake Villagers - including several playdates with her boyfriend Jasper!

One happy little girl!  Avery is showing off her second wine inspired onesie from Auntie Aly-

Vintage Baby - Aging Perfectly

Mom & Dad's Special Blend

The View From Down Here

First you see just the fingers and the top of the head...

And then up she goes!

And now you catch little eyes looking at you from the top of the pack n play!

Finally the Pack n Play is fun again b/c we get to practice standing up!

Bounce N Boogie

Avery looking super cute in stripes!  Thanks for the outfit Jasper!

We are trying out all of the baby classes in town to determine which will be best for Avery.  Today we went to Bounce N Boogie and had a fabulous time.  We have at least one more place to check out before we decide where Avery will be spending her play time...

I promise she has had fun at the last two classes even though we can never capture a smile on her face!  There is so much going on that we can hardly get her to look at the camera = )
