9 month update.

Nine Month Update!

My beautiful, amazing, brilliant baby is 9 months old!

I can't even believe this! She is pulling herself up,

attempting to stand on her own, and even walk on her own!

I know it is coming soon. Hopefully she will stand on her

own while her daddy is here to experience it!

 

She has been eating off of my plate non stop now.

She loves yogurt.

She gets to see daddy in one day!

 

*edit: She stood up for her first time: 9/15/2014

Grandparent's day 2014.

Our first Grandparent's Day!

September 7th was grandparents day!

My mom is so amazing and loves Opal so much!

I got her to pose for some photos with Opal for her first year as a grandma!

(She rarely wants to be in photos, so I was very happy this happened!)

 

I wont go into anything super long,

but I will share some things about my mom and Opal.

 

My mom was on a Skype Hospital computer at the exact moment I first held Opal!

Opal thinks my mom is so freaking funny! She giggles every time that she sees her.

 

My mom will buy almost anything for Opal if it has elephants on it! :-)

We took my mom out shopping after these photos!

Recap of my 21st birthday.

I AM FINALLY TWENTY-ONE!

I can now say "yes" to wine at restaurants and beer at burger joints! Woo-hoo!

Here are a couple photos from my party.

I didn't get that many photos from that night, mostly

because Opal was superrrrrr crazy and wanted me to hold her all night.

 

 

The lanterns hanging in the tree.

 

My cake table against the side of the house.

 

The letters were hanging with fishing line.

 

 

Definitely not how I planned it, but my family was trying to help, soooo...

 

On the second I turned 21. I had so much fun this past weekend with my party, shopping with my mom and baby sister, and then hanging out with my family at dinner. It was pretty awesome that Opal got to experience this day with me, and I hope I get to share a lifetime more with her. The only thing I would have changed, would be that my husband was here to enjoy the day with us too. But- this week she and I will be hitting the road to LAX to pick that handsome man up.

So, before all of that craziness happens, I wanna share some photos from my birthday party, cake time, and the prep. 

:)

She went down for bedtime, but woke up an hour later!
Partied in her pajamas after that!!

 

My sister offered to hold the baby.......

playing with mama!

my baby sister and opal, my favs!
