Before/after of the house

I painted the upstairs guest bath yesterday, and finally got the curtains altered to finish up the nursery. My sewing room got finished the day before that, the only thing that's left is to get glass for my America cross-stitch from my Grandmother, and to accessorize my little display shelf a little better. So we have 4 rooms completely done now, and I love how they turned out. Maybe a little of my sister's decorating ability is rubbing off on me! Here are some before/after pics.

It's Official!

Danielle is officially crawling! This was actually her third trek to get the cat toy under the end table, so she needed a little break at the beginning :)

Grass

I took Danielle out to the front yard and had her play on the grass for the first time a couple weeks ago. She seemed to think it was weird, but tried to eat it of course :)

Ad Job?

Do you think we could sell these and have Danielle be the new face of Mountain Dew?

Longer videos

Here are some longer videos of Danielle. I haven't taken as many pictures or videos lately because we're kind of in between milestones lately. She is getting much better at sitting on her own, and she recently started pushing herself up on one side, as if she wants to go from laying down to sitting up. Mostly she's just scooting around, half rolling, half throwing herself to get somewhere, exploring everything she can get her hands on. Today I finally let her play with the phone, in the hopes that I can have a conversation at some point without having to play "keep away" with her. she also especially likes bottles and grabs at whatever drink I have in my hands.

Grammy and Grampy videos

Here are some long overdue videos from our trip to visit Ryan's Grammy and Grampy:

Halloween

Danielle was a bumblebee, I was a flower, and Ryan was a samurai. We went two doors down to visit with our neighbors (Marian makes awesome chili!) and we spend the evening handing out goodies with them. They have two little girls who are likely to be Danielle's babysitter when they get older :) We carved pumpkins this year, but didn't make it to a hayride...maybe next year!
