45 weeks!

I can't believe we're closing in on a year since Rose was born! Her birthday will be here in the blink of an eye. But in the meantime, it's so much fun to play with our little "squiggle worm" - she never sits still anymore, and she is constantly working on crawling over things, head-butting her parents, and pulling up on anything short. She is starting to point to objects she wants, is great at sharing toys, and is a master of the "all done" sign. Mike has even heard her say "ba ba" for bottle! She can clap, she makes funny sounds, and she loves games like "sneak up on Daddy and tickle him!"  As you can see, we are madly in love.

Without further, here is Little Miss!

She's willing to take a few tentative steps, as long as her Daddy is close by to catch her.

"I can crawl to you faster than you can scoot away to take my picture!"

"Up?"

"Why yes, Daddy, I would like a second piece of bacon!"

Winter walks in MN require bundling such as this.

Rose prefers to hold her own bottle nowadays.

Did I mention she has 7 teeth now?

Rose's favorite book this week: Potty.

Fun with older cousins!

She may be younger, but she's got several inches on her cousin Annie!

"Hello, Mac!"

"Uh...bye bye, Mac!"

 Have a great week, everyone!
