Afton loves to play "photo-booth"
Afton playing with Ethan's amazing limited edition super lego set, and below with her incredibly gorgeous cousin Atticus who by the end of the trip would just say "cousin NO!" when she got to close to him because he knew she was going to push him, pull his hair or maybe take his hand and try to bite it. Not sure why she is in this mean to babies phase, but we're hoping she grows out of it quickly!
Below we are at this incredible museum in Portland called the OMSI - Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. It was so fun and the kids had a blast raging around - we loved it!
Sunday mornings are always so manic I forget to take pictures of Afton in her cute stuff. When we get home it's eating time and we change her quickly and get her to bed, I am determined to get more pictures of her all churched out. Especially because she's usually wearing one of the unbelievable items from her Aunt Care's shop-a-thon that we absolutely cherish - as you can see with the skirt below, she wears it well.
I had to take this one because it was just cracking me up how short and small this dress is now - she's getting so big and TALL!!
What an insane couple of weeks it's been since my last post - we've had Christmas in Salt Lake, (15 hour nightmare travel day with a no nap baby, but she handled it better than the rest of us) and New Years in Washington! Super fun travels with amazing blue bird snowboarding and so much family fun in the Northwest it was insanity. Somehow I remember it was a great time even though our whole family has been crazy non-stop sick with all sorts of viruses and infections including pneumonia, chronic cough/ bronchitis and the worst of all - vertigo! So after all three of us being on antibiotics and various other crazy prescriptions we are finally coming out of the woods. Justin and I are actually feeling really good right now, and Afton seems to be feeling okay, but she has the constant runny nose she's had for a few months now. Afton has also had some issues with separating from Mom. She failed nursery the first few times and most recently barfed all over her speech therapist when she picked her up to take her for her session. She's been doing a little better this week with that stuff. The big news around here is Afton's first word...yes I know she's had mumblings of words, but this is the real one, the one that we will tell her when she's old enough to care. Her first word is BUBBLE! And it's so cute to hear her say it I don't even mind that she loves to say it all the time. They use bubbles to calm her down at her physical therapy place so I think that's where she picked it up- but as you can see from the videos below she says it well and she totally knows what it is. I will comment on the rest of what I post so you know what's up with all this stuff. Love to all of you!!
Justin plopped down on the floor and started clapping, Afton immediately did the same thing and I got it on video! So cute I can't stand it! The next one is Afton in a beautiful backyard bubble fantasy. The one after that is my gorgeous little dancer! Check out her moves! Rand and Joyce got her this brilliant "activity cube" which she is obviously a huge fan of. Her first dancing move was this kind of head shake thing that looked a little like a seizure, but so cute, as you can see below she's got all sorts of moves now. And of course the last video posted is her first word within a day or so of her saying it - you never knew "bubble" could make you melt with cuteness over-load, and she also says "Daddy" clear as day, you have to watch it to believe it!
