Mmmmm...

Whitney says Mmmm now when she sees food that she wants to eat. It seems like she always wants to eat what we are eating plus her own food and then a snack afterwards. When I open the fridge or the cupboard she says mmmmm too. She must be growing to be so hungry all the time!! She loves cereal, ramen noodles, rice, beans, squash, potatoes, crackers, and fruit...just to name a few! This is a video if her trying to tell my she wants some of my ramen noodles. She wants it so bad that she gets frustrated when I can't get a noodle to her fast enough.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This morning Whitney and I made breakfast for our Valentine. We made heart shaped pancakes and eggy-toast in a heart shape. It was "breakfast in bed"...literally. I brought the tray into the bedroom and placed it on the bed, then I reached to get Whitney off of Brig's lap and tipped the tray by putting my knee on the bed. Anyway, it was a disaster...the juice spilt on the tray and then spilt on the bed. I was really sad that my "breakfast in bed" idea didn't turn out like I had planned :( Later that night we went to eat Indian Food and then watched a chic flick. Also Brig got me some tulips, my favorite!

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.
