We're Back!!!



Okay, I know, I know...everyone has been asking me when I'm going to update my blog again. We go through this EVERY time. I'm horrible. I need to set an alarm on my phone to tell me to update this at least once a week. Quite a few things have happened in the month and a half since I wrote last. Jaci is now a full blown crawler and is so close to walking she can taste it. We just got back yesterday from a vacation in sunny Arizona. It was a wonderful vacation. Jaci loved having so many people around to play with all day. She and Berkley tried to play together, but they were both so jealous of each other, neither one would be happy if the other had a toy or a person they wanted. Berkley would push her head away if she got to close to Noni (my mom). We put Jaci on this little green quad that Berkers got for Christmas and at first I pushed the little button to make it go, then I let go and she found the button and kept going! She's so stinkin' smart. We had such a great time down there and could have stayed forever. But we're now back up here in not quite so sunny Utah. Jaci's not happy about having to wear long sleeves, socks and coats again, but hopefully it's not for too much longer!!!

Valentines Day!



Happy Valentines Day!!! I can't believe Jaci is almost 9 months old. Time goes by so fast! She is learning new things and growing every day. A few days ago I went to get her up from her nap and she was standing up holding on to the railing of her crib. I had to get it on video. She is standing up a lot and really wants to be able to walk by herself. Didn't she look adorable for Valentine's Day!!!

Noni and Nana came to visit



In the past couple of weeks Jaci has been doing some new things. First of all, all she wants to do is walk. She can't do it by herself, so she searches for your fingers, pulls herself to a stand and off she goes. If she's sitting on your lap she will grab your fingers and scoot herself down onto the floor and then start walking. She started playing pat-a-cake with Noni and Nana when they were up here visiting this past week too. She's always liked Peek-a-boo, when Mommy would hide, but this week she started doing it herself with Noni.

Jaci and I both had a lot of fun with Noni and Nana visiting. The time flew by way too fast though. We miss them already, even though they just left this morning. Jaci has been a bit cranky since we dropped Noni off at Aunt Steph's last night. She hardly slept last night and was super cranky and wouldn't take a nap this morning. She needs her Noni back!!! Jaci loved playing with Noni and gave her big hugs and kisses with a just a few little nips!

I love Bubbles!!!

Jaci's new favorite past time is blowing spit bubbles. Isn't she cute!!! Not much is going on up here in COLD Utah. It's just snowing and blowing! If it's not snowing, it's so cold because it is really windy. I really miss Arizona. Jaci has been a little stinker. She finally had gotten into the habit of taking good two hour naps in her bed, but this week she's reverted back to only wanting to sleep when mommy or daddy is holding her for naps. Therefore, I have practically no free time again! However, I did manage to find time to finally start making some bows and paci clips! Now that she is sitting up on her own, she will sit on the ground and play with toys so I can at least do something for a little while. Yay! I am so proud of this bow I had to post a picture!

So Many Teeth!


Well, Christmas has come and gone. We actually had two Christmases. One nice "warmer" one down in Arizona and one freezing cold one up here in Utah. The temperature varies from 8 to 20 degrees during the days now. Brrr! It makes me shiver just thinking about it. Anyway, Jaci loved getting new toys and playing with Berkley's new toys while we were down there. Her favorite "new" toys are actually hand-me-downs from Braden and Berkley. (Thanks Caryn!)

Since Christmas, Jaci has had her first ear infection, her first fever, and now has EIGHT (yes, I said 8) teeth; 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom. She likes to randomly and very sneakily chomp down on her mommy's arm or face. She seems like she's going to give me kisses and then decides to BITE! I have quite a few bruises. I still know she loves me though because she has become even more attached to Mommy than she was before. She'll go to others and give them a quick hug and then wants to come right back. At least she has started taking naps in her bed! That has been a huge blessing! Now I've got at least a couple hours of free time in the day. Now I just need to start sewing or scrapbooking again since I have the time!

Jaci loves to eat!



I know I just put on some pictures about Thanksgiving, but those pictures are from almost a month ago so I decided to put on some more recent ones. Jaci got her two top teeth and she now loves to eat EVERYTHING. She loved to eat before, but now she's discovered a whole new world. She also finally learned to roll over both ways and can sit up by herself, for the most part. Kelcie and I took Jaci out to eat last night, so there are some pictures of that too. Enjoy!
