First Day of Pool!!

Our little Nemo had her first aquatic foray this Memorial Day weekend. Adorned in her seemingly ceremonial garb, our overgrown sunflower could hardly contain her glee.

Mommy gave it the first go with dip in the baby pool. Goose was gun-ho, at first. Unfazed by the cool water temperature, she seemed in her natural habitat. 

She was a little more unsure about the full sized pool, but we did our best to encourage her. Mommy and Daddy both got a turn 

 When we got back to the house, Goose had a bath and dinner. Then it was head first into the toy chest for the remainder of the evening.

Happy Memorial Day, all.

Goose's First Baseball Game

We wanted a family night before Daddy left for St. Louis for the week today. We decided it was a perfect time for Goose's first baseball game. The weather was beautiful. The Royals were playing the Twins. Goose even got an official first game certificate and a baseball from the ball boy. In my mind, this is much better than Daddy having to catch a pop fly to protect his girls.

Here's the only picture we took. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera.

Yes, she is up at the end of the game. This probably has something to do with the gentleman that had a bit too much and kept shouting, "Don't wake the baby! Don't wake the baby!" She slept through about 45 minutes of it and on his final try he did successfully wake her.

Go Royals!!!

Happy Easter!

What a wonderful day we get to celebrate. I withheld a few of Goose's 9 month pictures as they were much more Easter-themed so why not save them for this post.

This is maybe Daddy's favorite picture. He thinks it is quite funny that it went so totally awry. I have to say - it is pretty funny.

So the rocking chair didn't so much work. It meant she was at eye level with the chicks. We figured she would be okay with them given the dogs she is around all the time. Chicks were apparently just too much for her. We had to find a new way to get those Spring chicks in the pictures though. They were just too cute!

Our little Goose didn't think they were too bad when they weren't at her eye level.

We tried to put the bunny with her on the rocking chair. We didn't even get a picture of that because she launched herself out of the chair and into my awaiting arms. So we tried a different route. I love this picture. The bunny, Oreo, was checking her out, but she didn't have a clue he was even behind her.

Oreo decided she wasn't going to hurt him, so he moved on to check out the rest of the studio.

The look on her face cracks me up in this picture. She has a look in her eye that just spells mischief. As you can see, Oreo decided he didn't want anything to do with it.

Have a wonderful and happy Easter! Enjoy time with your family and friends. We plan to. 

9 Month Pictures!

We took our little Goose to get 9 month pictures today (we're a few days early). It is hard to believe that she is almost 9 months old already. She is growing and learning so quickly (her daddy and I are trying hard to keep up). Here's a sneak peek at some of the pictures.

Goose was hamming it up for the camera. She was all smiles in the dress from Great Grandma G.

The white was cute, but we thought we might try a little different look. Goose was just trying to get the fun flowers they had.

We changed outfits while the lovely photographer changed the backdrop back. Goose thought she was a pretty big deal in the big rocking chair once she got comfortable.

I love this backdrop. It is just so fun!

 

Our little Goose had enough. She was a real trooper, but was crawling away by the end of our 30 minutes. I hope you enjoy!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

What a wonderful day it is in Rock Chalk world. The weather is gorgeous. Definitely not the snow we had Sunday night and Monday morning. I am enjoying every minute of Spring Break with our little Goose. It's delightful to get this extra time with her. Once again, she was thoughtful enough to not hit her milestone before I was home and spending time with her. (Yes, I know this is hardly what is going on. But a mom can dream, right?)

Here it is, we needed to catch it on video so that it could truly be shared.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know when she is old enough to realize I sent this to our family and friends she will be upset. But there is only so long that the naked baby pic is cute.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day from our little Cupid!

Go Pack Go!

Our little Goose most definitely had to be a Packer Backer yesterday. Here are just a couple of pics.

Happy Monday!
