Again, you'll have to ignore the Purdue shirt. It was a gift, okay? :)





11 month pics - Luke & Marissa

(Please ignore the Purdue shirt.... haha)

Marissa - 11 months old!

My last post of this kind for Marissa..... and I'm REALLY sad! Marissa got her first tooth on August 13th!! We have been waiting and waiting for this and without any warning, there it was! Her picture shows that new tooth pretty well!



Marissa also started CRAWLING! She's mobile! She had been pulling up on the furniture and had been pushing up on her arms, but up until the day she started crawling, she really wouldn't even roll over! She just didn't see the need! But, on August 13th (Yep!! Same day as the tooth popped through), she just started zooming around! (the video is pretty dark, but I had my camera near me and so I just grabbed it to catch the moment!)



Marissa says "Mama" all the time, and I couldn't be happier! Luke was all about Dada and the dog, so I guess it's my turn! She has taken an interest in her blanket, but only at naptime or bedtime. She is very social! If someone is in the same aisle as we are at the grocery store, she will wave and say "Haaaaaaa" until someone acknowledges her. Same deal at restaurants - she has to wave at everyone that walks by. People seem to enjoy it and her toothy grin is quite contagious.

We cannot believe how fast the year has gone. We talk about it all the time. What great memories we're making!

More of my Milligan cutie pie



GO BUFFS!

Milligan College Class of 2030!!







This little onesie was a gift from my fellow Milligan alum, Amy, when Marissa was born. She's just now big enough to wear it!! I was excited to dress her in it for the Milligan Alumni function at Connor Prairie! It was a huge hit!

(p.s. - this is the last time my daughter gets to wear anything with words on her rear-end.... I am NOT a fan.... but on a baby tush, it's pretty darn cute!)

Gone fishin'

There is a great pond behind our house and Scott takes Luke out from time to time to see what's out there. I've seen some pictures of nice-sized fish (they always throw them back) and I've heard some pretty spectacular fish stories from Luke.



(I just love this picture....)
