So Dadelaide and I decided to bake some yummy cookies for daddy returning home from his trip; we had so much fun! Dadelaide had her own spoon and bowl and even got to mix her own ingredients, she loves to stir like mommy. She even added her ingredients to mommy’s bowl! So cute. So we were being good and making whole wheat cookies…and as you can tell from the pics we had some…issues with the cookies! Not enough flour! We had to add lot’s more and bake 1 cookie at a time to make sure it was the right consistency; Dadelaide loved watching the cookies bake. We finally added enough flour and the cookies were SO delicious! Yum yum! Daddy was so surprised and so happy that his girls made his favorite cookies for him.

Here she is just walking around the kitchen being her cute little self!

Her upper right front tooth finally poked through the gums yesterday. The other one looks like it will be coming through shortly! She’s growing up so fast…

She started walking while we were in Texas at 10 1/2 months. Her first steps were around 9 1/2 months and then at 10 months she was taking 4, 5 and 6 steps at a time. Once she recovered from her cold in Texas she was up practicing again and by the last week of July she was walking all the way across the room, turning around and going back! She loves to walk and doesn’t really crawl much anymore, she tries to keep up with her cousin Schme, but she’s still a little too slow for that! Here are some pics of her walking and a few other cute ones. ***If you click on the picture you’ll be able to see the full image***

We all traveled to Texas to welome Daniel back from his 2 year mission to Ohio. Unfortunately, our trip started out a little rough as Dadelaide woke up with a nasty cold the day we were flying to Texas. Amongst all the chaos of trying to get packed and out the door we had to take the baby to the doctor to clear her for flying. Luckily she didn’t have an ear infection and we were good to go. She did very well on the plane considering she was miserable. It was good to be back in Texas after being away for over 2 years! We picked Daniel up at DFW at 8:00am! That was a little rough with a sick baby, but she did well. We had so much fun just hanging out together and visiting. We were able to see Kris and Jazz while we there too, yay! Here are just a few pics of our visit!
