playing catch-up

so here is my extremely long post with tons of pictures... i won't bore you with too much talking tho. on the 28th of aug my family headed back to WI, which we were extremely sad to see. but life goes on i suppose . not much to report really, other than that laynie loves to say "hi"!! it is sooo adorable. she started it this last weekend out in roosevelt. every time she saw her aunt amanda, she would say hi and wave. we've tried getting it on video, but she gets camera shy. she mostly likes to say it to than... " hi daddy" is what she'll say almost any time she sees him! we did get some video of her walking, so i'll try to get it posted soon! ok, i'm off to bed now...

on our family date at the salt lake bees baseball game!

trying to get more soda out. she usually does really well with a straw, until the drink is almost gone, then she doesn't understand that she can't tip it to get it out! you can see the sprite spilling all over her.

just a pic showing her pigtails in the back... her hair is getting soooo long!

another hair picture for my bro's... they love it when her hair is crazy

this is how i found her watching baby einstein's the other day... yes i promptly scooted her back!

she loved playing with her car seat in the house, but hates being in it in the car for too long! (we were doing some switch-a-roos)

happy 11 months, laynie!!

this pic doesn't do it justice, but i was trying to show how long her hair is getting
