Want to Play?!?!?

Look what Papa Oso taught me while I was down in San Antonio....patty cake!  He worked with me all week till I got it and now I can't stop!!  Love you, Oso! 

Happy Birthday Daddy!

I apologize for mommy's tardiness.  We've been having so much fun celebrating daddy's birthday over the past few days that she forgot to post my pictures - crazy lady!!  Daddy's birthday was on Wednesday and I gave him the best present ever....ME for the whole day!!!  We had another snow day so school (and therefore work) was cancelled.  We loved being able to enjoy the special day together!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!  I love you so very much and am the luckiest girl in whole, wide world!!

I helped mommy make daddy breakfast in bed.  We all lounged in bed while daddy ate and opened his presents. 

We did this all morning!

Hanging out in daddy's office about to head to dinner!

Happy, happy birthday!! We love you. XOXO!

A Little Vacay for All!!

Patrick and I are back from our first vacation without our little pride and joy.  We were out in Santa Fe visiting the Trice's and hitting the slopes.  Megan and Roy were wonderful hostesses and made our first trip away one we will always remember! Sutton went to visit CiCi and Oso for the week and had SO much fun.  She was quite the social butterfly and had lots of playdates. Many thanks to all who came by to play - she had a ball! CiCi and Oso kept us updated with lots of pictures and thankfully would iChat with us most mornings and evenings so we could see our little pumkpin - that was a little taste of heaven.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures...

Sutton had lots of new tricks to show us when we got home last night. It's amazing how much they grow in one week - she is on the verge of crawling, plays hide-n-seek with her blanket (which I must say is the cutest thing EVER), loves patty-cake and can go from laying down to sitting up (strong stomach muscles).  We had such a great trip but both agreed that we wanted her to travel with us next time.  We missed her way too much!!

I can't thank my parents enough for taking care of our little angel! There is no better feeling than knowing your child is in the best hands possible and having a ball! She is already asking when she can come back so GET READY.  :)

XOXO.

6 Month Tea Party!

Come along and play with me!  Mommy couldn't let my 6th month birthday pass without a little tea party for all my friends...i've been told that all proper southern ladies wear a hat to their tea parties. 

Happy 6 months Sutton!

XOXO!

A SPECIAL Day!

It's a big day around our house as we have lots to celebrate today!  Today is Krissy and Grey's Birthday!!  AND my half birthday!!!  Happy, Happy Birthday Krissy and Grey!  I am so excited that I get to celebrate with both of you this weekend.  Lots of Love!

Mommy promises to post my 6 month pictures later tonight.  :)  Until then, here are a few things that I have been up to...

So Big!!

 Getting on all fours!!  I'm rocking but not going anywhere just yet.

 Squirming - I love to toss and turn when getting a clean diaper!  :)

 Sitting tall and pretty AND I am finally showing off my pearly whites!

More to come...

XOXO!

Two Peas in a Pod!

Guess who popped into town this past weekend for a visit.....Krissy!!  Kristen and Sutton are best, best buds and can't get enough of each other.  I love to watch Sutton just stare at her with amazement - she is always so curious as to what Kristen is doing.  It makes us so happy when she is in town and she is always such a HUGE help.  I gave Kristen a hard time this weekend that she has visited Dallas more the past 6 months than she has the whole 10 years I have lived here. Hummmm!!!!

We were sad to let her go on Monday.  :( 

XOXO!

Baby It's COLD Outside!!

This past weekend, we had our first snow day, or at least what Texans consider a snow day!  We were not shoveling snow off the driveway but we had some snow flurries that stuck to the ground for a few hours.  We got Sutton dressed in some warm clothes and played out in the snow.  I think she liked it - she had a big smile on her face and was shrieking a lot!  Hopefully, we will be able to take her to see some REAL snow and have her hit the slopes with us sometime soon!  :)

AND drum roll please....... look who's sitting up!  Sutton has been trying so hard to sit up for awhile now and is now strong enough to sit and play for a good amount of time!  It's so fun.  She is very proud of herself (and we are too)!   

Our little Sass!!

XOXOXO!
