 10 1/2 months and as excited as can be to take this months giraffe picture. 

 McKenzie wanted to get in on the giraffe fun with a little snuggle time.   

 Getting bigger by the minute.  How quickly I have grown! 

My favorite pose, trying to crawl away from the camera!

 A more serious side of me!  One more, so that, you can compare me to my 2 weeks old picture and see how I really have grown.

Enjoying the fall weather!

September 12, 2013

 The weather has cooled down some, so we are able to get out more.  Today, we went out for a stroll while McKenzie biked.  I am ready to go! 

 I love my balance bike.  I am getting really good at it.  I have been able to get a lot more practice on it lately.  We have been going on family walks/rides in the evening and then in the mornings when we are actually home.   

 I am happy as can be right now riding in the stroller.  I am hit and miss in the stroller, sometimes I will ride for awhile and other times I am done fairly quickly.

 Looking back to see what my mom is up to!

 I have quite the face to tell you that I am not happy about something.  Like why did we stop moving, I am ready to go again!

 I am getting quite fast on my balance bike and able to go for a good little ways now.  A lot of the times mommy has to jog to keep up with me.  When I get tired, I hop into my spot in the stroller, the bike rides in the handle bars, and we continue on our walk!  It works out great! 

 When Makayla goes down for her morning nap, I get to do fun craft projects with mommy.  Today, we are making color changing bracelets.  The beads change color depending on if you use cold or warm water.  

 I love to craft.  The first bracelet I made it already on my wrist and I am ready to make a necklace. 

I kept busy for quite awhile changing the colors of the beads.  I was pretty impressed that the color would change when I used a different temperature of water!

I love the kid craft table!

September 5, 2013

 McKenzie has loved her craft table from the day that it was put together and uses every moment that she gets to.  I on the other hand,  have just discovered the kids craft table and I am sure drawn to it.  Mommy thinks it is for a couple of reasons: 1.  McKenzie is there a lot making crafts and 2. She put some cheerios on the corner about a week ago to get me to stand up and I am looking to get some more! 

 I have been busy using my scissors the last couple of days.  I love to cut and glue pieces onto paper to make pictures.  Makayla thought she would eat the table since she didn't find any cheerios. 

Hey look at me!  I am pretty proud of myself for sitting in the rocking chair.  I get excited every time I get put in the chair.

 

September 7, 2013

 I love to crawl over to the table and hang out under the table

 I am not big enough to get into the chair, and way to small to sit on my bottom to see what is going on at the table!

 

September 10, 2013

 Back at the table looking for some Cheerios.  Seriously, where did they go?

 I guess I will crawl under the table in hopes of finding some under the table! 

 McKenzie likes to hangout at the big table too.  Enjoying my lunch! 

 There are my Cheerios!  I love to shove them in my mouth!

 It didn't take me too long to figure out how to get my hand in the cup and get those cheerios out.  This cup will keep me entertained for quite awhile.    

 Reading a story with Daddy.  I love to read books!

 

 September 11, 2013

 We both love the kitchen and playing at it.  Today, McKenzie was in charge of cooking and I was in charge of the dishes!

 How do I get the water out of the faucet?  I love to push buttons!

 My two little chefs happy as can be whipping up some food for me!

 A lot of times when I crawl over to the table I try to get into the chair, but can't figure it out.  Today, daddy put me in the chair and we read a book together. 

 Right now the touch and read books are my favorite.  I like to feel all the different pages. 

I love to do things that make me feel like a big girl.  Here I am sitting in a chair just like my big sister does!

Hanging out with my family on Labor Day!

September 2, 2013

 Today is Labor Day and we are having a low key day.  We talked about going out to the lake, but we decided to stay at home and BBQ.  We had a very relaxing morning hanging out in our jammies. 

 I am very proud to be sitting like a big girl in the rocking chair.  I would rock the chair back and forth.  I even had a puzzle piece to play with. 

 I love music, so today when I was given this tambourine to play with I thought it was fantastic.  It made music when you rattled it and banged it!

 I love to make noise!

 My sister wanted to get out her tunnel to play with and I thought I would come and check it out.  Now how do I get into this thing!

 I figured it out and am ready to crawl through to get to my sister!

Here is a video of me crawling through the tunnel for the first time.

 

Here is a video of me crawling through the tunnel for the first time.

Mom put a corn puff at the end to entice me to the other end.  I think that they motivated scout in the same way the first time he went through the tunnel.  I don't know what it is about us Nettleton girls and having our tongue out.

 Eating my corn puff treat that I worked so hard to get at the end of the tunnel!

 I love to play with the kitchen and all the food.  The oven is my favorite probably because I can reach it.  I open the door to see what is inside. 

 Then I crawl in to get my food out.  Nothing like putting your head in the oven.  Mom hopes that I don't try this with her oven! 

 Once I get my food it is time to eat it.  Food is better once it has been cooked. 

I think that this is how Scout carries Mommy's running shoes out into he the living room.  He teaches me a lot of good tricks.

Dressing up my sister and me!

September 1, 2013

 While I was busy playing some music, McKenzie wanted me to wear my fairy wings like her.  Mom put them on me and I was more than excited to play dress up with my sister. 

 I had fun flying around with my fairy wings. 

 I am pretty good about wearing my fairy wings and not being bothered by them.  I continue to do what I want to do while my sister does what she wants to me!

 Two little fairies sitting around playing music together! 

 I am getting pretty good at moving from one side to another of my toy!

 Today, McKenzie wanted to do some accessorizing.  Here I am Princess Makayla! 

 Princess McKenzie is ready to rule with her scepter and multiple leis.

McKenzie even had mommy get in on the dress up with a tiara for her!
