Spring Break

Ok So I am the worst blogger! I am always too lazy to upload pics onto my computer so I probably have 700 on my card right now just waiting to be blogged about, but lets be honest I'll probably never get around to it. :) But luckily, my family came up for Spring break last week and took a bunch of pictures with her camera so I had to upload them before she left. So I am finally updating the blog now that I have some pictures!! So like I said my Mom, 2 sisters and one of my brothers came to visit me for a week! It was so fun! We went skiing, snow mobiling, got our hair cuts, (I chopped off about 10 in even though it still looks somewhat long) went shopping and then just ate a lot of good food and relaxed the other days. Whitley was able to go on her first snowmobile ride and she did great! She was just looking around and enjoying the ride. I'm sure she was a little used to it since I snow mobiled and skiied up until I was 8 1/2 months pregnant :) Anyway, I love having my sisters around because I pretty much don't have to take care of Whitley, they want to do everything with her! Here are some pic's from the week!

After snowmobiling we had to make a stop at the famous Square Ice Cream shop! Whitley LOVES ice cream!!

Whitley Update:

So I just noticed I haven't had a Whitley update since she was 5 months old and she is going to be 11 months in 11 days! Oh how the time does fly! Well her biggest milestone was her FINALLY learning to crawl around 9 1/2 months. I didn't think she would ever crawl because she was hardly even trying to, but she woke up one morning and just started crawling like she has known how to all along. Typical Whitley doing something when SHE wants to! :) She also got her first tooth at 9 months...and got 3 more within a week and a half. She wasn't too bad of a teether, just a little grumpy. I didn't even notice that her 2nd one came in til I stuck my finger in her mouth and I felt it! And her 5th tooth just poked through yesterday. She continues to be a good eater and seems to like everything we give her, especially if it is something we are eating. As seen in the pic above she got her first taste of ice cream last week and loved it! We may have created a monster because since then I have noticed a little more prefernce towards sweeter foods. And she seems like she is to the point that she wants to feed herself, so I'm having a hard time figuring out good finger foods to give her all the time. (Suggestions are welcome) She is clapping, waving, holding the phone up to her ear (typical girl) and saying mama and dada. She is pretty close to pulling herself up on things but I'm sure she will do it on her own time like everything else. She is still a great sleeper while pulling 12 hour nights and 2, 2 hour naps. She has the cutest little sense of humor and loves fake laughing when we laugh at her. I can't complain much except for when she wants her way she is quite the fit thrower already, I think she gets it from her Dad! I took Whitley in to the Dr about a week ago for a check up and she was 16 lbs and 25 inches which puts her at 4% for weight and 1% for height. So she may be a runt but she has some killer leg and arm rolls that would make you think differently. I'll try to be better about blogging but in the mean time I am wishing so badly for spring to come (but at the moment I'm watching the snowfall and I'm sure there is atleast 6 inches outside and more to come ugh...)

Here are just a few pictures I thought I'd throw in since I think they are cute. The last picture is of her playing the piano which she loves to do!
