1st Trip to Spokane

Cassidy and I were off to Spokane for cousin Jason's wedding, with a stop in Dayton along the way. We were very excited as Cassidy hadn't met any one on Mom's side of the family yet

After the wedding we stayed with Aunt Sue. Her granddaughter Mya was very excited about helping Cassidy eat her breakfast, and did a great job.


Cousin Pam and her family came up to visit us before we left. Cassidy had a great time playing with Pam and her oldest son Payton. Pam and Jeff have 4 boys and I'll never forget her comment to me..."Cassidy is very active!"

We had a very nice visit, but wish it could have been longer. We are hoping to see every one again for Thanksgiving

Havin' Fun

First off, look what baby girl can do all by herself! Needless to say we have lowered the crib mattress after we got over our inital shock when we were greeted by her standing up after her nap. She loves standing up and looking around.

Cassidy likes to practice her cowgirl skills in her bouncy horse. She also enjoys a good pony ride on a bouncing knee. By the time she can sit on Rocky by herself, she's going to have a great seat, probably better than mine!

Cassidy loves playing and talking with the dogs. Here, Echo is talking back....

Cassidy continues to really enjoy her baths, and is getting more and more into splashing and moving around. She gets herself into a vey "yoga" like position in this clip. I got the camera out because she was splashing so much, notice all the suds on the counters...but of course when I started filming she toned it down.

She finally has enough hair for a mohawk...Chad is so excited!

After playing so hard, a busy girl has to get some sleep. This position is a new one with Cassidy's growing ability to move about. I thought this was pretty funny, especially since I was able to lay her down on her side without waking her!

If she has Lulu (the pony) and either her Nuk or her thumb, she is out cold. I checked on her yesterday after putting her down for a nap because I could hear her talking on the monitor. As I peeked around the corner, baby girl was sitting up talking to Lulu and having a good old time. She proceded to stand up at one end of the crib, saw another Nuk at the other end of the crib and so worked her way over to get it. She then sat/fell back down, played a little longer, then fell over on her side and went to sleep. If she is this active without officially being mobile, once she starts crawling I think we'll be in trouble!
