Where did January go?

So it's been awhile since I've posted. It's not that I haven't had anything to write about, it just seems like time has been flying by. We've been working on preparing a place for our garden and we've spent some time freeze branding the cattle. T has been traveling for work, we've attended some Aggie basketball games, and I have been putting in some extra workout time in order to train for a 1/2 marathon. Aside from all the activities going on, I am also realizing that with a more mobile baby I cannot just sit down and post when I want to.

This week she pulled herself up to a standing position all by herself. It is so fun to watch her work SO hard at this. It's also interesting to see her try out different things around the house to pull-up on. I think all of her moving around has made her a little more tired. When this girl wants to sleep, she sleeps and sleeps hard! Here is a picture of her standing up.




We've also been enjoying her laughs. She loves to laugh and I love to hear it. She enjoys riding in the shopping cart at the grocery store and will give a smile to anyone who will look her way. Yesterday while we were at Kroger I was bumping her feet with my legs as we were walking through the store. It must have tickled because she just giggled and giggled. The sound of baby laughter is so sweet. I am so thankful for our little bundle of joy!
