New Years Eve with the Ya-Ya's

More gift opening with Asher, Isabelle, Avery, Liam and Kate...
what Fun!

A puzzle on which I can chew...PERFECT !!

What a motley crew!

Mom and her childhood 'clover' friends - Rachel, Liz and Alison. 
Ah what funny stories they can tell...and I'm sure I will
never tire of them (right Dad ?)!

Grandma and Grandpa Helmers Christmas 2010

Keurig Coffe makers rock...or so they say.  I think Grandma
was quite pleased with her gift from Santa.

Mommy was equally excited about the scarf and lovely necklace
from Aunt Susan.  She's worn the scarf and has the perfect work
outfit for the necklace. (She is waiting to
get the suit pants back from the cleaners...I thought they were
perfectly fine with my spit up, but she thought otherwise)

Who needs presents when you have crinkly wrapping paper
and pretty shiny bows to play with?


 I think Grandpa liked his new sweatshirt as well...it looks a little too
clean for my taste. You know I can help you out with that!

Daddy framed this beautiful fall picture taken by Grandma at the MN cabin.
I've heard it is often shown on a Fargo news channel? 

The stroller:  The makeshift highchair, entertainment vehicle and all-around
place of lounging at Grandma and Grandpa's  Thanks again Grandma
for feeding my cheeks!

Christmas at Great Grandpa Reeder's house

Great Grandpa Reeder likes holding me!

Fun times with Grandpa Reeder and Aunt Lisa...they REALLY know
how to make me laugh!!!  And I really don't mind being
the center of attention :-)



While we don't have an audio of this scene...Great Grandpa Reeder is
playing polka music -- instilling early an appreciation for
my Czech Bohemian family background.

6 month check up - -

The numbers are in......18 lbs and 27 inches tall!

A milestone....


Wait for it...wait for it... Ta da!!!!  I've actually been turning over
since the day after Thanksgiving, but we've just gotten around
to posting :-)

A little Chtistmas preview...Ho Ho Ho

The scene:  Mom gets inspired to take Santa photos before work one morning. 
She dresses me up in festive holiday attire (Santa hat and all) and lays
a red blanket against the wall as an 'Olan Mills' backdrop.  She then
attempts to get me to sit up unassisted and smile...all at the same time.
This was the product...not bad :-)

Weekend Fun!

Mommy's friend Karen visted this weekend from Denver.  The weather was perfect!
We took her for a walk around Lady Bird Lake, followed by a yummy lunch at Maudi's...
becuase no trip to Texas is complete without some authentic Tex-Mex. We were even
able to catch a little bit of the Big 12 South game with Daddy (a sore subject today)  

Mommy and Karen were even able to have a nice girl's dinner...
after I was sound asleep, of course!  
Thanks for the visit, Karen!  We hope to see you again soon!
