Eight Month Pics - Luke & Marissa

Marissa - 8 Months Old!!

Well, here's our baby girl - 8 months old already!! She has all of a sudden started doing fun things like making a "ba ba ba" noise and waving bye-bye. Amazingly enough, NO TEETH! Where are they? She still is content to sit and let the world come to her - no rolling or crawling. She does kind of pull herself up if she has the opportunity, but other than that, she's enjoying "diva" status! She is also a mama's girl, which mama loves (most of the time anyway). She gives the best kisses - okay, slobbers - but she's always so excited to give kisses! And Marissa has the sweetest laugh with the big giggles being reserved for Daddy.

I tried to take her picture outside on her 8 month birthday, but there was just too much going on as you can see...

Marissa's crinkly smile

Marissa's nose crinkles up when she smiles - it's very cute! Her dimple in her right cheek is getting more noticable too. What a doll baby!

500 Festival Parade

The huge Grover balloon....


Luke watching the parade with the War Memorial in the background...


Mario Andretti!!

I think this was Luke's 1st parade. It was pretty hot that day, but we enjoyed ourselves. The highlight for Luke was the float that had Pablo from The Backyardigans on it.... here's a video:

Luke's Tractor - "Just Like Papa's"

Anyone that knows my dad knows that this tractor isn't really "Just like Papa's".... my dad has never had a green tractor!! But apparently, John Deere has the corner on kid tractors. This is a toy that stays at Grandma & Papa's... more room to roam!

Only Daddy could come up with this...

Scott pulled the kids around the upstairs for about 15 minutes - wearing Daddy out and wearing the kids out from all the giggling!!

Laundry Basket Fun

It's dark because I took it with my digital camera....
