Super Bowl Sweetie

Cassidy went to her first Super Bowl party and she certainly knows how to party! She played hard and she played fast until she could play no more:)

Nine Months Old

Can you believe it? I sure can't! Our baby girl is nine months old today! I am pretty sure the saying, "time flies when you are having fun" came from a mother. She is so much fun and makes us laugh so much. These pictures include many of the things she does during a typical day such as playing, reading, attempting to start crawling, bouncing and just being silly. We let Cassidy stay up a little later than usual tonight so she could spend some time with Cappy and Nonna after their dinner celebrating their 40th anniversary.




Any day now the fun will really begin! She is warming up those arms and legs every chance she gets. She still keeps her buddy, Jack, close by to entertain her.

Mommy wanted a photo in the yard, and I didn't realize it until we were out there, but that was her first time to get to feel grass!

Happy 40th Anniversary Cappy and Nonna!

Behind bars

Since I had to raise the rails on Cassidy's bed (refer back to post "Caught") she always looks like a little jail bird peeking out from behind her bars.

Laptime with Grandpa Walter

Cassidy got to spend some laptime with her Grandpa Walter this past weekend. Shhh, just don't tell Cappy!

Bath time with daddy

I had to get approval from Robert to make sure he would let me post this picture, because I couldn't resist it. If you know Robert, you know he loves his baths and takes one everyday and so now the legacy continues with Cassidy. My two bathing beauties!

Cassidy goes to the zoo

Cassidy made her first official visit to the zoo. She was actually there on January 9, 2006, but in mommy's belly. We just happened to be there again on the same day, by the same turtle, one year later, January 9, 2007. I had much more fun this time:)

Playtime with Grayson

Cassidy's cousin Grayson came to visit for a whole week while his mommy and daddy were on vacation. There was plenty of playtime, nap time (for the adults as well) and adventure.

Cassidy's first train ride

We promised Grayson we would take him for a ride on the zoo train before he left to go home. Because this was Cassidy's first train ride, I was probably more excited than she was. Little did I know at the time, this was the day before Cassidy became sick with a fever, so, as evidenced by the photos below Cassidy wasn't in the mood for the train ride or picture taking. Grayson on the other hand, couldn't contain his happiness

Caught!

Cassidy was taking a longer nap than usual today because she woke up with a fever this morning. Little did I know how much a few hours can change a sick baby. She went to sleep not feeling well, and woke up...well, I heard her breathing heavy and struggling and I thought the worst, but my "sick baby" was feeling much better and trying to be a little escape artist!

Time for the mattress to go down and the bedrails to go up!

Floppy seat adventure

Cassidy got to try out her floppy seat today for the first time. For those of you that don't know what a floppy seat is, it is a cover that is made for shopping carts and highchairs for germophobic mommies like me:) I decided it was time and tried not to think about the germs she could possibly come in contact with, besides, I can't shelter her forever, right? Or can I?


I almost cried and changed my mind when I put her in her seat, she just looked too tiny for the big grocery cart!
