TBones Game

 Our church group planned an outing to the TBones (the minor league team in the KC area) game this last weekend, and we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take Aspen to her first TBones game.  We sat on the grassy area in the outfield, and enjoyed good friends, good baseball and ballpark hotdogs and nachos!

 Aspen had a tough time with the grass seats...b/c of the slope I was afraid she would tumble down the hill if I let her get up and play and she's definitely not a sit-still kinda girl. We let her do a little running on the walkway behind the outfield.

Aspen really enjoyed watching all the people (not so much interest in the game yet - HA!) and wanted to take off down the hill to play with the other kids so bad!

We had a great time spending the evening at the game, and looking forward to going back!!

Busy, busy, busy...

I've been slacking with blog posts lately. We've been busy with lots of important things...

Learning to brush our teeth,

Learning to feed myself,

Getting into everything,

Getting cleaned up after playing outside and being messy at dinner,

and just being my cute little self! :)



Aspen - 10 months

Where in the world is time going? I can’t believe how much Aspen is growing and changing. She is such an amazing joy in our family. Here’s a little of what she is up to at 10 months:

Weight - 20.8 lbs

Height- ? bad mommy and missed measuring her…

Size 3 diapers

Mostly size 12 months clothes

Size 2 shoes

Aspen is doing great with her sleeping. She’s in a solid routine of 2 naps/day and going to bed around 9, waking up around 6. She loves to eat!! She feeds herself mostly anything I’ll give to her. She still has 4 6 oz bottles/day and in between she has her oatmeal and for dinner she is mostly eating table food. She still eats baby food once in awhile when I don’t think she’s ready for whatever we’re having to eat. She would eat the whole canister of puffs if I would let her! haha

She’s a super busy girl. She loves to play with her toys and “read” her books. She’s running walking all the time now (I’m guessing this is why she hasn’t gained hardly any weight since last month). She loves to be outside and “explore”. She is a very determined little girl – if there is something she can’t do she will continue to try until she gets it! This is mostly a good thing, but I see several temper tantrums coming in the future too…

She talks to me all the time. We will be having a “conversation” and then she’ll scrunch her nose and laugh and it’s the cutest thing. She’s got so much personality. She’s still a little unsure of people she doesn’t know that well but she’s getting better with it.

We spent her 10 month bday at the KC Zoo celebrating my little brother’s 8^th bday. I was so proud of Aspen – she was content to ride in her stroller, walk with me occasionally and even noticed some of the animals while we were there. She is so much fun, and I feel so incredibly blessed to be her mommy!
