First Braids

Last week, I tried braiding Aaliyah's hair...it was pretty hard to keep her still, but thought I did a good job. Her first braid pigtails. ( :

Aaliyah was 11 months old last week. It's going to be harder to keep up with this blog since I started school full-time! She's moving fast and getting into everything. I'll hold her hands and walk with her, but doesn't stand too much on her own yet, just climbs up on furniture. We just got a princess walker from Lydia, so that should help with her walking. She enjoys being outside and in the water. We took her to the Mequon pool and the pool at Elite. I'm amazed at how much she eats, for such a little girl, she really likes her food! She's pretty loud too, can't wait 'til those noises turn into words. Here's a pic with her new giraffe from Uncle Bob and Aunt Lorrie.

Future Pianist

Aaliyah climbs up to the piano and plays music for us. Hopefully she'll be as good as daddy when she's older. ( :

Happy Fathers Day/Happy Birthday

Sunday was Fathers Day and my birthday. We went to the Mequon pool in the afternoon; it was such a hot day! It's a really nice pool; they have a wading pool for the kids. Aaliyah would sit and play with the toy fish...well actually just put them in her mouth!

First Camping Trip

We took Aaliyah camping for the first time this weekend in Devil's Lake. It sure is a lot of work with a 10 month old, but it was all worth it! We had a really fun time. We went to the beach during the day and had a campfire at night. Weather was hot and breezy. I just have to learn to not sweat the small stuff as Greg would say. It was frustrating when she didn't go to bed and kept putting leaves in her mouth....but it's a new place and things are going to be different. Overall she did great! It was so nice having another little one there too.
