Going private

I'm pretty sure the only people who read this blog are my parents...but I've decided to go private anyways. If you'd like to be added to "the list" to view my blog, please comment to this post and leave your email. I'll leave this up for a month or so before i actually go private since I usually only post that often to give you all a chance (again in probably just talking to my parents) to leave your emails. Thanks!!!

10 Months!

At 10 months Scarlett is more mobile than ever walking here and there and everywhere. She is so much fun and learning so much everyday!

At 10 months Scarlett:
  • is walking!!! She started taking her first few wobbly steps a few days before her 9 month birthday, but has really perfected it by 10 months!!
  • loves to play "wheres scarlett???" especially during diaper changes, she'll kick off her pants and pull them over her face until I say..."wheres scarlett???"
  • loves singing "itsy bitsy spider" and "skiddery merrinky dinky dink!"
  • is starting to learn patty-cake and loves the "roll up the dough" part when I move her hands.
  • mumbles "dada" and "mama" and "nana" all day long.
  • claps, and waves hello and goodbye.
  • will surprise you with the biggest wettest kisses. We live for these surprises!
  • loves her teddy bears and has quite a few. She will pick them out of all her toys and walk around with them. She is such a girl, I love it!
  • loves to throw the ball and chase it.
  • starting to play soccer already, kicking the ball all over our place.
  • puts the cell phone to her ear when she has it and say "ya!" and when we say "hello hello" she'll put it back to her ear. Super cute!
  • loves orange juice, and water, and especially jamba juice!! (she's lucky her grandmother always has one waiting for her when we come and visit!)
  • weaned herself from nursing :( I wasn't ready for it, but I guess its a good thing that I don't have to make her stop in the future. She is the most independent baby I know!
  • takes two solid 1-1/12 hour naps a day.
  • visited her cousin Simon in LA and just thought he was the beez neez! 
  • will find any wire in the house...she's obsessed with them.
  • as always is pretty much the best, smartest, cutest baby alive in my opinion :)

Grainy because it was texted to me....but this is scarlett playing soccer all around the house. You can see what a good walker she is!


Tape measures + Dada=hilarious

Just walking around in my fluorescent pink jeans!

Visiting my sweet cowboy nephew simon. He is such a cuddly fun little sweetheart. can't get enough of this boy!


Grandma + puppy=so much fun!

Cuddle time with dada after my nap

Always on the run

Scarlett's cookie philosophy: "if it doesn't get all over the place, then it doesn't belong in your face."


Grocery shopping is so much fun with her! everyone stops to talk to her and she always talks and giggles back!

She actually kept her headband on for most of church...it was a miracle!

Family Photos

My beautiful and talented sister-in-law Hannah took some family pictures of us in the beginning of december. Scarlett is 7 months in these pictures. She took so many good ones that it was impossible to choose which ones to add to the blog, so I apologize for picture overload. Side note - Scarlett's eyes are really this blue, and she is really just this happy :) we are very lucky!

8-9 months

I have so many posts I need to catch up on...Christmas, Family Pictures, and her 8 and 9 month landmark posts. So I'm starting here and hope that the others won't take long to follow.  A lot as changed in the last 2 months. It is crazy how much she can grow and develop in just 2 shorts months.

At 8/9 months Scarlett:

  • is 23.1 lbs, 29 1/2 " long and is in the 97 percentile
  • Stands on her own very well...She gets up by pushing off on something but a handful of times she's stood up all on her own, and tries to stand up all the time.
  • Is the fastest crawler I know :)
  • Babbles all day long...her favorite thing to say is "Dada"
  • Has just enough hair to clip a bow in :)
  • Has had her first Christmas and we loved every minute of it!
  • Is starting to take her first few steps already and loves to try over and over again
  • Plays and plays and plays all day
  • Loves swinging on the swings
  • Is starting to play peek-a-boo by trying to hide her face then pop up again
  • Loves Jamba Juice
  • Waves Hello all day long
  • Loves to clap her hands
  • Is the most fun happiest baby ever
  • Gets so much joy out of just about anything
