Portland Fun

Dalyla's first trip via Airplane!

Dalyla's one year birthday

Her birthday party was a success. A lot of family and friends came. She had so many presents but was more interested in the bows. She wouldn't nap at all during the day so she was quite tired by the time the cake came. She did eat her yummy carrot cake which was made by love from Mommy, Grandma J., and Aunt Haylee. The ranch celebration was fun too. The kids loved the pinata and cupcakes.






She just blows my mind every day. She does something new. She totally understands most of everything I say to her. She loves to play outside, in the water, mud, dirt, whatever. She got a sandbox for her birthday and she really likes it.
She knows how to wave bye bye, give kisses and hugs. She says, momma and dada. She tries to say other things but they mostly sound like dada. Her favorite cupboard to get into is of course the cleaning cupboard. She for some reason loves to play with the dish soap and febreeze bottle...

We took a trip to Portland to visit Todd. This was Dalyla's first airplane ride. She did so great the way there. She slept the entire flight. However, the return flight...hmmm, well let's just say a little less than sweet. :) She was "that" kid. :) Good thing the guy next to us had 3 daughters and one that was 18 months old. He understood I think...oh for about the first 15 minutes. haha. Finally about 2 minutes from landing, zonkers!

Visiting Todd was fun. We went to Mcminniman's and watched a live band and ate outside. Then we went to a winery and a waterfall. Sunday which was fathers day we went to Tillamook and the coast. Thanks Todd for being such a great host!

Tonight Robert was mowing the lawn and Dalyla just had to help. She is turning into quite the daddy's girl. He seriously had to hold her for a while while mowing. Or she would follow him around which made me nervous. Too funny!

Dalyla One Year

My baby girl is 1 yr next week! These pictures were taken at Murray Park. I have more to follow!

We have a walker and talker!

Dalyla is officially walking. She falls a lot but she is so daring. I guess i can't say officially..she only walks if she sees something in sight.


She is saying doggie, kitty cat, momma, and dada. She tries to repeat animal sounds, like for bear, we say "raaarrr", and she will say, "haaaaa". So cute! She hasn't figured out the snorting of a pig yet but she is trying.

Today we tried peanut butter. She liked it. She didn't like the bread, but she licked the pb off of it. She is so picky with breakfast that I can't find much for her to eat. So I tried eggs (which she usually likes) with ketchup. She loved the eggs! Ketchup it is!
She is crawling up the stairs. She hasn't figured out the down part so we are working on that. She really is a joy! She is always happy. Laughing and screaming every day!



The things she gets cranky at is getting dressed, changing her diaper, and cutting teeth. Got one more this week and one is pushing through!
