Decorating the Tree

Tonight we decorated our Christmas tree. Piper helped put the star on the top and got to put the first ornament on the tree, which was the first ornament she ever got. She also helped by decorating the bottom of the tree with the non-breakable and plush ornaments. Although, she didn't quite understand that you have to put the loops around the branches; she tried to set the ornaments on top of the branches. We think it looks very nice!

Nakey Baby and a Dr's Appointment

This is a funny picture taken before Piper and I took a shower on Wednesday. Naked baby on the run! Yesterday was her 18 month check up. Yeah, I can't beleive she's already 18 months either! Anyways she's now 20 lbs 4 oz and 29 1/4 in. Dr. Britton said everything is great and all the things he told me to start looking for, she's already doing, so we have a smart little bugger! On Halloween 2 more teeth appeared too. They aren't front teeth though, they are the first molars! Which Dr. Britton said it is also normal for little ones who get their first teeth late, to get the rest out of order. Piper is saying more words now and even knows a few animal sounds (thanks to Grandpa Smith). She knows 9 different body parts, can walk backwards and can run. She's also starting to learn different colors and different characters (Mickey Mouse, Elmo and Pluto). And we're even doing a little potty training, which of course, she has not mastered yet, but is catching on well.

Carving Pumpkins

Last night we carved our pumpkins! Piper even helped clean them out until it was time to go to bed. Mommy did Jessie the yodelling cowgirl on her pumpkin. Mommy is being very goog friends with Jessie for most of the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween parties, so she thought it was fitting. Daddy did the Mad Hatter Pumpkin. On the front it says "I'm Mad..." and on the back it says "...about Halloween 2007." Both turned out great!

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Daddy won a 4-pack of tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. So we invited Grandma and Grandpa Smith and got all dressed up Tuesday night to go! We trick or treated, watched the parade, fireworks, and Villans show on the castle stage and we rode Haunted Mansion to check out all the new features and updates. We enjoyed the night and were glad Ryan won the tickets!

Self-Feeding with a Spoon

Last Saturday at lunch time, Piper decided to take the spoon out of Daddy's hand and feed herself. She did a very good job. We got some pictures of her doing it yesterday. She has trouble scooping the food out of the bowl. But if you put the food on the spoon for her, she'll take the spoon from you and feed herself! She's becoming a big girl!

Piper's First Trip to the Beach

Yesterday we spent the day at Cocoa Beach. Piper enjoyed playing in the sand and splashing in the water. She was a little unsure of the waves though. It was very windy, so Mommy didn't notice that her back was getting burnt. Piper was fine though, she was slathered in sunscreen and kept under a towel when she wasn't in the water. And it did rain a little bit, but just some sprinkles for less than 5 minutes, so it didn't ruin the day! We had lots of fun!
