Eight months old

Cassidy is eight months old today! I can't believe how fast time has gone by...she was my 7lb. 1 oz. tiny baby just yesterday, or at least it seems like yesterday. As of three weeks ago, she weighed in at 17.6 lbs. She is becoming quite the big girl, but attempting to feed herself is her favorite big girl activity.

New Year's Resolution

Cassidy has already started on her New Year's resolution to work on those rolls mommy mentioned on the last post...better her than me! Thanks to her buddy Scarlett giving Cassidy her jumper because she no longer needs it since she is walking now, Cassidy is getting all the benefits of it! I don't know who enjoys it more, Cassidy or daddy and I watching her!

Although her exercise regimen can be fun, it also has its intense moments.

Apparently I was getting too close to the princess, because her bodyguard had to step in behind her to protect her!

Baby New Year

She's not the true baby of the new year, but she is the best baby of the new year! Some useful and/or useless information to start out the new year: the tradition of using a baby to signify the new year began in Greece around 600 BC. Although the early Christians denounced the tradition as pagan, the church finally allowed its members to celebrate the new year with a baby which was to symbolize the birth of baby Jesus.

Cassidy has more rolls than a NY bakery:)

Big game hunters

Robert just got back from hunting so Cassidy wanted to get some photos taken with their matching camo's. He is still waiting for "the big one", but Cassidy already has hers on her feet--two eight pointers! Notice that she has both summer and winter camo's.

You see Jed, I told you she would wear her outfit, eventually:)

First Christmas

We spent our first Christmas with Cassidy at home. Having been blessed with a child of our own this year, the meaning of CHRISTmas was even that more special this year. Cappy and Nonna joined us, or should I say, they joined Cassidy for her first Christmas. She had quite the time opening and eating the gifts, especially the tissue paper!

Early Christmas

We had an early Christmas with some of Robert's out-of-town family in Boerne this past weekend. It was a lot of fun seeing family and later walking around Boerne for the Cowboy Christmas. Before heading up to Boerne, we stopped by Cappy and Nonna's so they could see their favorite grandbaby (in San Antonio).

The family!

Picture for the Christmas card

The Christmas card this year, of course, had to feature the newest member of the family, but that didn't come easy. After several attempts, at least twenty, we got the perfect shot, but as you can see by some of the pictures, Cassidy was not having as much fun as mommy was having!

Pictures with Santa

Since mommy never took pictures with Santa, Cassidy was the first one in line to get hers done. After several attempts and many beard pullings, we got several good shots. The Santa ordeal was so exhausting that Cassidy had to take a nap with piggy when she got home.

Big girl chair

Cassidy got a big girl chair just like mommy's...I couldn't resist!

Seven months old

Cassidy is seven months old today! She is getting so big, too fast! She said "da" the other day, so of course, Robert took that and ran saying she said "dada". She is getting ready for Christmas by sporting her reindeer outfit with matching slippers.
