Goldie's Wild ONE!

We celebrated Goldie's first birthday a little early because her birthday is so close to Thanksgiving we figured we would do it the weekend before. It was so fun to celebrate with our friends and family. Goldie was a little confused, and had no idea what was going on the whole time. She has never opened a present before so she didn't know what to do when one was placed in front of her. And her smash cake was sooooo funny. She wouldn't use her hands to eat it, she would just sick her face in and nibble at it. We let her eat it for like five minutes and she ate quite a bit! No surprise. Happy Birthday to our sweet girl! And thank you to those that came to celebrate!

Goldie's first Halloween

I can't say it enough... holidays with kids are like 50 million times more fun! Goldie loved trick-or-treating. She would just wave at everyone we passed and always had to have at least one candy in her hands at all times. She even got to have her first sucker! I've been putting it off because I didn't want her to be addicted to sugar, but man I couldn't pry it out of her little fingers even if I tried. We didn't go to that many houses because it was cold and she likes to walk everywhere so we are really slow. Now we are looking forward to Christmas!! We may just decorate a little early....

What happens when you take food away... 

11 months

HOLY COW! 11 months have officially come and gone and I really cannot believe it. So crazy to think that next month my baby will turn one. She has the most fun-loving personality, and is so goofy. This month I could really tell that she is turning into a little toddler before my eyes. She walks all over the place, and is starting to run... So I spend most of my days chasing her around.

CLOTHES: 12-18 tops and dresses... they are huge but they will last longer right? 6-12 bottoms.. also big but we were ready for new clothes.

EYES: Still blue as blue can be

HAIR: Really starting to come in, and it seems like it will have my thick, fluffy texture... so get ready to have some large hair Goldie! It is starting to get more and more blonde as well.

WORDS: She says mum or mama, dada, she's said papa, baba (baby I'm guessing? She doesn't have a bottle.) Her newest thing is she puts my phone to her ear and says "Hi-ya" like hello. She signs more still and we are trying to teach her please.

NEW TRICKS: She dribbles a soccer ball around! It is the cutest thing ever... She's like really good at it too! She dances when music comes on, which is so fun as you could imagine.


LIKES: 

- soccer

- Daniel Tiger

- books

- eating... and we are still nursing... we will probably start weaning soon.

- running errands.

- waving at everyone

- finding peoples' noses and eyes.

- her baby doll and teddy.

- cuddling. She has been extra cuddly the past few weeks.

- taking everything out of drawers.

- peek-a-boo


We love you so much sweet girl!

Jaker's

We are trying hard to fit in as many festive activities as we can this fall because Goldie is seriously in heaven! We went with Mark and Paige and their kiddos to Jaker's in Springville. It is a cute pumpkin patch with lots of FREE activities... So fun!! She has loved seeing all the animals, pumpkins, and just walking around waving at people! This pumpkin patch even had a giant corn pit which Goldie LOVED! Seriously she was shaking with excitement, she could have stayed there all night. Except every time we looked away for a second she was trying to eat the corn... She likes to be naughty so she thought it was funny when we would hit it out of her hands. It is seriously so fun making memories with Goldie and Scott.
