Daddy's Girl

Cassidy was able to watch her first Apple Cup today, well part of it, with her Daddy. Even though the Cougs' season is nothing to brag about this year, Cass brought them some good luck today and they beat the Dawgs in what turned out to be a pretty good game!
GO COUGS!!

SHE'S 9mo OLD!!

On the 11th, our little girl was 9 months old! She weighed in at 18lbs 14oz (50%), 27 3/4in tall (55%) and head circumfrence of 42 1/2cm (30%). I can't believe she can be that big already, and all the things she can do now. Like crawling all over the house, pulling herself up on just about anything and needing very little support and even lasting a few seconds without holding on. She is engaging and funny and has a great routine with a fake cough and loves to wave hello and goodbye. We're working on high 5s. Here are a few more pictures of the last few weeks.


Cassidy is also working on her 4x4 skills and is a big ham to the baby in the mirror (the videos will be coming soon)

Fall Fun

Some more fall photos...This time with the appropriate fall gear and having a great time in the leaves. By the time the "photo shoot" was over, she was down to just her diaper, bear walking around in the leaves, and I had decided that only the little leaves needed to be dug out of her mouth, the rest were fair game!


Cassidy's first Halloween was not exactly as we had planned, but we had a good time just the same, and never has there been a cuter little bear. We did learn an important lesson....Babies do not like to get their faces painted! We showed off her costume at Sam and Cari's house and played for quite a while. Cassidy was showing how well she was crawling and climbing. Then, just as Mom was saying how much more she is looking around now when she is crawling Cassidy ran head on into a wall. Timing is everything...




But it's true, in just a few weeks Cassidy has become much more mobile and aware of where she is going and why. When she first started crawling she would just go with her head down and then stop and look up to see where she had gotten too. Now she has a purpose in mind when she takes off, usually to go see the dogs, to follow us around the house,or to get to a toy. She is also much more into climbing and tumbling. She has started to climb up on our stomaches while we are laying on the floor and then smiling while she bales off the other side, the higher the better. On landing she rolls to her side laughing and then climbs back up. I'm not sure where she gets this adventurous side from.....


Grandma Margie has been here since the 30th and they have been spending lots of time together having fun. She is headed back home tomorrow, but we'll get to see her again soon for Thanksgiving.
A now classic move from Cassidy.....
