I Love Halloween!

Today was a big day for our sweet little one... First of all, it was her first roll-over!! Holy cow, I couldn't believe it. I was sitting on the floor with her while I worked on a sewing project. I put her onto her tummy so she could do some push-ups, and the next time I looked up she was teetering on her side, and finally rolled onto her back. Crazy how fast these little people learn new things!

Second, and just as exciting, it was her first Halloween!!! We had a neighbor in the ward watch Tylie a few weeks ago, and one of her daughters suggested that Tylie be a skunk (because Tylie had been tooting all day long! :D). I thought it was a really cute idea, so I ran with it. I got her costume finished just barely in time for the ward Halloween carnival/trunk-or-treat this afternoon. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the night.

Hanging out with her dad...she's such a daddy's girl!

Oh boy. Too cute!

With Aunt Keeshie...they're becoming very good buddies.

Stretching! Everybody who knows Tylie can tell you that she just LOVES stretching!

Third, Tylie won her first cute kid competition ever!! Well, it was actually the ward costume competition. She won first place out of all the kids ages 0-6! (Pageant girl in the making??? I hope not). Here she is with her trophy:

Vegging after a very long, eventful afternoon:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Two Months Old...

Tylie turned two months old recently. Two months! That is unbelievable...have I really been a mom for over 10 weeks now? Have I really woken up in the middle of the night for more than 70 straight nights? Have I really changed somewhere around 500 diapers? Time goes by so quickly...what a scary thought...

Here is my favorite of her two-month pictures:

This picture was around the same day....I put her down on her tummy, glanced away for 2 seconds, and when I looked back she was holding herself up so she could watch the football game with her dad! I couldn't believe it....it seemed to happen overnight! One day she was fussing every time I put her on her tummy because she didn't like having her nose smashed into the floor, and the next day she's holding herself up. And she's only continued to astound me since!

Blessing Day

Tylie was blessed on October 11, 2009. We had lots of family travel here for the occasion, and we are thankful to all of them! Here are some pictures of the day...

The members of Brent's family that were able to make the trip: Dad (Dan), Sister (Angie), and Brother-in-law (Brennen)

The members of my family that were able to come: Sister (Keshia), Dad (Val), and Mom (Brenda)

Proud parents with their beautiful little girl!

Beautiful girl in a beautiful dress! This is also the first real smile we've been able to catch on camera...although she's been smiling for a couple weeks.
