A Big Congratulations!

So yesterday Matt graduated from UTA with a Mechanical Engineering degree! We are all very happy and proud of him! We had a celebration dinner at Casa Rita's, it was very nice. Now he'll be in search of a job, I'm hoping and praying that he gets a job soon!

The graduation was very different from what I'd been to. Very formal, all the graduates were engineering graduates. There was a ticket system that had to be scanned in order to get in and the auditorium was fairly small. The attached picture is a bit blurry but I was trying to take a picture, clap and see what's going on! hehe

First Professional Haircut

FIRST - Sorry I've not written in a while....I've been so busy at home and work that I've neglected to update!

Here is our baby having her first experience at a salon on November 30th! hehe! She was not scared of the water bottle nor the scissors. The lady even put a Baby Einstein video on for her to keep her attention but of course she was curious of what was going on! She's so funny!

On the Move!

So Amelia started walking on October 21st. It was a good day! We were anxiously awaiting for her to walk and she did! At 12 months and 3 weeks. I love that we have this little person just walking around the house, following us around, sneaking into whatever room we may be......it's great! And she actually does "sneak" into the rooms. She loves being chased around but loses her balance when she's really trying to get away.

Here she is getting ready for bathtime.

Trick or Treat!

Here are the girls in the wagon about to go trick or treating. We went to about 10 houses in the Sweetser neighborhood, it was fun!

Here we are at the first house that we trick or treated at, the Anderson's. They were so nice, they had a special treat for Amelia. A cupcake and a Dora ball!

Family Fun Day!

Here we are with our most precious little girl! She's currently 12 1/2 months old. She's not walking YET, but is really trying. She's going from wall to wall to couch to coffee table. She says puppy, hi and momma. She loves to dance and likes to point. One of her favorite veggies are green beans and she likes avocados. She started drinking cow milk this week. She was temporairly drinking Silk Milk or as Matt and I called it "crack" milk.....she LOVED it and would throw the biggest fits as soon as it was gone. We had to have a 2nd bottle ready to go once the other one was done.

Her head measured in the 99th precentile, length 70% and her weight is in the 50th percentile. She's not picky with food or milk. She's also learning to have fun with Millie!

Kiddie Ride?

So we decided to take the "kiddie" train.....OH MY GOODNESS! It was pretty rough but it was sooo fun! I laughed so much and Amelia just sat and took it all in! At one point I thought we were going to flip! HEHE! I still laugh at the thought of the ride! Matt was trying to take a picture of us in action but all he could see is a cloud of dust! HEHE

Halloween Treat!

We just smile everytime we see Amelia smile or laugh. She's such a ham! Matt set her in this pot, seems like most people were just passing past it, but the moment they saw us taking pics they were saying "oh look!" and that's when Amelia just started smiling/showing off..... She's sooo funny! We went to the pumpkin patch in Flower Mound yesterday and had a great time!
