Whitney's 1st Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to our Baby!! I can't believe it's been a whole year! For Whitney's 1st Birthday we had a few friends and family members over to party. Brig grilled burgers and I made some cakes. I made one cake for Whitney to dig into and another one to eat just in case she demolished her cake. But, by the time she was through with her "Tinker Bell" cupcake it had minimal damage. Whitney is not a very aggressive eater, so she just picked at the icing and only got to some of the cake. I guess I was glad that cake wasn't all over her and the floor! We taught her to blow out a candle for the big day, but she wasn't quite able to blow the flame out on her cake. Maybe the candle was too far away because she blew at it and it flickered, but didn't go out. Now she blows at everything and when she sees a match box or a candle she starts blowing. She got some great toys and I hope they will keep her busy. By the end of the night Whitney was so tired!! She went right to sleep and slept all night...even after eating chocolate cake, icing, ice cream, and cheetos!

Finally Crawling!!!!!!!

Well it's official...Whitney is crawling!! Yes, I know she is almost a year, but she was focussing on social things like waving, peek-a-boo, and people watching. At first I thought it was a fluke and so I didn't want to say anything, but now after taking a few videos and seeing it happen, it's offical. She goes pretty slow and her movements are jerky, but she's moving and that's all that really matters right!? Watch the video and you can see it for yourself.

Her favorite things to get into so far are the video game stuff (controllers, cords, games) and messing up the DVDs. I'll have to child-proof our cupboards once she discovers them.

Birthday Boy!

Brigham turned 31 today. We celebrated by going out to eat at Red Robin and then came back home to eat cake and open presents. After the cake and presents we played karaoke SingStar.

Top five of 2008 and Happy New Year!

1. Whitney Madeline Dunn was born January 28, 2008.













2. Whitney finally rolled over at 6 months. This is a tummy time video.


3. We moved into a house and I finally got to decorate a nursery for Whitney.

4. I took Whitney on a few plane trips. We went to visit my sister Melodie in Ohio with my Mom. I also got to go New Mexico a few times this summer to visit my family there.

5. After reading the whole book series, I got to see the Movie Twilight...I really liked it!

I guess this year wasn't that exciting, really pretty lame but I learned a lot about life. Most of my Top things involved Whitney or doing things with her, but I guess that's normal for a new mom.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas was quiet this year. It was just Brig, Whitney and me. My parents came a few days before Christmas for a nice visit. We played games and made caramel popcorn. We enjoyed their visit even though it was short (thanks Ben and Connie for letting us steal them for a couple days). Last night we went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant. Whitney loved the Miso Soup.

This morning Whitney slept in late til 8am! We had Whitney open her gifts after a pancake breakfast. She didn't quite get the point of opening presents, but she sure loved what she got. We got her some blocks, a few books, plastic links, hair rubber bands and her aunt Connie made her some cute, cute, cute hair flower clips. My family did a homemade Christmas again this year, and once again I was very happy with what we got from my brother Jesse and his wife Joyce. They are super neat silhouette pictures. During Whitney's nap Brig and I opened our gifts. Later that afternoon we sat down to a Christmas Dinner that I made all by myself. I spent hours on it. I now appreciate all the hard work that my mom went through for Christmas dinners. I was happy that it all turned out okay. Our friend Andy came over to eat dinner with us. We spent the rest of the night watching a TV and playing with Whitney til she went to bed.
