Christmas 2009

I just want to say that this was the best Christmas EVAR! It was so neat to see India opening her gift and getting excited. Awesome!

At Nana's House Opening Presents:





OK, so the next two pictures deserve a little explanation. My mom bought India an African America Cabbage Patch Doll because I had one when I was growing up and she thought India should have one too. India loved it and we captured her excitement when she saw it for the first time. Funny...

Baking with Nana

Merry Christmas!!!

So, this year we decided to attempt pictures with Santa. After waiting an hour and a half in line we discovered that India is not very fond of big hairy fat men in red suits. We tried three times to get her near him and she just screamed. This was our last try and you can see I had to hold her and they just happened to get a shot of her in between screams. Poor child. I'm glad I never told her that Santa will come while she's sleeping because she would probably never sleep again...

Carving Pumpkins on Halloween

India's first pumpkin carving experience...Danny helped while Mommy took pictures. :)

Happy Halloween!!

What do Doggie's do?

So, India barks now when you ask her What do Doggie's do? And meows when you ask her What do Kitty's do? So cute!

I have pictures coming soon.

Oh Yeah...

Almost forgot this cute picture from last weekend...She's daddy's girl.

India's 1 Year Stats!!

We finally got India into the doctor for her 1 year check-up. Here are her stats:

Wt: 21lbs 2oz (50%)

Ht: 29" (50% - she's catching up...until now she was only in the 25%)

Head: 46cm (50%)

She isn't walking yet, but she's trying really hard. She is all over the place crawling - fast like lightning! She's also started saying more words like "kitty", "hat", "hi", and "bye-bye". I don't know if it's just too early to tell if she's going to be right or left handed, but I have a video of her playing with one of her toys (the kind that you have to put the ball in the hole and it makes noises when it goes in) - and she does it once with her right hand and then immediately afterwards she uses her left hand. She might be ambidextrous! Oh yeah, and she pretty much mimics whatever I do with my hands...If you point at her, she'll point at you - if you raise your hands and say "touch down" she will do the same, and when I ask her "how much do I love you?", she raises her arms in the air and out to the side to show how much I love her. It's so freakin' cute!!

Anywho, I've been waiting to post these pictures of her because I sent some out in the mail and didn't want to spoil the suprise... But here are the rest of the pictures from that photo shoot. My brother, Troy, took all the pics, they haven't been edited yet. Enjoy!!
