Like father like daughter

A lot of people have been telling me I look just like my Daddy lately, which makes him very happy. It makes me excited too because I just adore him right now, Mama could be in the room but I don't care, I only want my Daddy.

Mama found this baby picture of Daddy and wanted to show you all how much I look like him with my gummy smile. I've got my Mama's eyes and coloring, but the rest is all Daddy.

It's a......

girl!!! Nina is going to have a little sister come June. We are very excited, though Christian will officially be outnumbered. I think he's more worried about when they are 16 and 17....well, I am too.

Looking forward to another little princess in our home!

11 months

I turned 11 months old today! I've been having a great time lately discovering a lot of new tricks. I can clap and wave and am extremely noisy. Here are some pictures of my recent escapades.

Daddy and I started swimming lessons and I really like it! We had fun singing and splashing and learning to kick. I also love balloons and was very excited that when Mama and Daddy took me to Red Robin I got my very own one. I discovered the joys of bubble wrap and still enjoy pulling myself up and standing on anything I can. I'm becoming a bit more independent and like to crawl off and play with whatever dangerous thing I can find.

Mama added the last picture because she thinks she spotted a curl by my ear and is very excited.

He did it again!

Last Saturday my crazy Daddy did his 5K run and Polar Bear Plunge into the freezing waters of Lake Washington for the second year in a row. This time I wasn't warm and cozy inside Mama, I had to watch from the outside and it was cold! I started laughing hysterically when all the people were running in the water, it was really quite a site.

Here is a video of Daddy and Uncle Bryant doing their best Polar Bear impressions. Mama says sorry for the shaky camera, she was having a tough time holding me and filming.
