{Happy Birthday Daddio...}

Found this pic awhile back...CLASSIC!! I love my dad so much and always have it you can't tell:) I just want him to know he is the perfect dad just the way he is and I wouldn't change him for anything! Happy Birthday Dad!

{9...}

Our little girl is 9 months already! Crazy how the time is just flying! We took her to her 9 month check up and these are her stats:

Weight: 16lbs. 10oz.
Height: 26 1/2inches

Daisy's new favorite thing is "rough housing". We will roll her around on the bed in the covers and she will just crack up and start giggling! It's pretty much the cutest thing ever! If we stop rolling her around, she will continue rolling around on your own...it's hilarious! She now says "dada" literally all day! Her daddy loves it so much:) He'll walk into the room and she will smile with her gorgeous face and yell "DADA" it melts our hearts:) She can now move from her stomach to a sitting position. She can also stand by herself against furniture. She is so proud when she stands by yourself. She will just look at us with this big smile as if she is saying "Look at me guys". She is now getting a third tooth next to her two bottom teeth. Dais continues to be the best eater ever! We never help her hold her bottle anymore. She makes it quite clear that she is a big girl and can do it herself:) She is still sleeping so well. We put her to bed at around 8 every night and she usually sleeps until 7:30-8:00...AMAZING!!! We finally had to drop her mattress in her crib down because she is now learning to pull herself up. She LOVES to cuddle her cuddles and bunny. She loves to give kisses and to rub noses with me:) She is obsessed with crawling into the kitchen. She will just laugh and laugh when we try to come after her. We are so blessed to be her parents and she brings so much joy to our life everyday!

{Avrey Turns One...}

My darling niece Avrey turned the big #1 on December 27th! We had a fun time at her party:) We love you Avrey and we are so glad you are apart of our family!

{Christmas Day 2011...}

We started off the day by going to sacrament meeting at my mom's ward. We then went back to my parents for my dad's super yummy breakfast:) We had a great time opening presents and hanging out! Daisy was loved on so much by everyone:) It was so fun to spend Christmas and start new traditions with my family of three:) Hope you all had a great Christmas:)

{Christmas Eve At The Dayton's...}

I LOVE Christmas Eve at the Dayton's! Bruce & Kandie always go all out with yummy food, inspirational thoughts, Bruce's yearly family poem, and of course tons of fun! It was very different this year with three new babies added to the mix! Last year was so calm and quiet, however this year was quite the opposite:) Natalie (Aunt Geegs) came into town. It was so much fun to see her! Daisy loves her Aunt Geegs! Daisy was so happy and content the whole night playing with her cousins and with Mimi and Papa's toys:) She loved their train so much and loved when Adam would push her around! I am so incredibly blessed to have married into such a great family!

{December Daisy...}

She is so darn yummy! Can't get enough of my little girl!

{I think she BELIEVES...}

Now this is the REAL Santa Claus:) Even Miss Daisy knows it! These pics are so precious to me! I hope she believes forever!!

{Having A Holly Jolly Christmas...}

We celebrated with my mom's side of the family in Layton Park this year:) It's always so fun to get together with everyone, especially around the holidays. Daisy had her very first encounter with Old Santa Claus!! She did not like him one single bit! I'm pretty sure she knew he was not the real Santa Claus. I will post the proof in an upcoming post:) I'm loving this time of year with my adorable little family!
