A visit with Santa Claus

Darla loved Santa! She did not love tights and maryjane shoes, but she kept them on long enough for the picture. She wants to be sure Santa knows what a good girl she is! :)



Daddy turns 30!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!
Darla and Mommy cooked and watched the parade on Thanksgiving morning.
Darla's first Thanksgiving dinner!

Daddy carving the turkey.

Darla ate a few bites of squash and turkey, but her top two teeth are coming in so she didn't have a huge appetite.



We set the timer for a picture of the three of us, but of course she didn't look at the camera without one of us behind it. :)
The day after Thanksgiving, we began decorating for Christmas.

Darla loves it when Daddy wears her towel after bathtime.

Baby, it's cold outside!

It actually SNOWED a couple of days ago, so we've been bundling Darla in various hoods, hats, and coats. Snow, already!

9 Months



Darla is crawling at super speed.


Macy is such a good sport!


Darla loves to hang on the gate and rattle, rattle, rattle as if to say, "Lemme outta this joint!"

Christmas comes early

Mark and I had a coupon for a learning "house" for Darla for Christmas....but I couldn't wait until then! Mark put it together on Sunday while Darla helped.

Visitors

Darla and Grand-Godmother Nancy.


Darla and pal Caitlin.
