Me & my little Wonder Woman

Harper's class, the Green room.

Harper was hysterical! She ran around yelling "I'm here to save the day!...cause I'm Wonder Woman". She always makes me smile that's for sure!

At the end of the night all the girls got into the back of Gayle's truck danced and sang at the top of their lungs. It was so funny.

What a great evening at Spikes house. The kids & adults had so much fun...and the food was of course wonderful!

Santa Ynez!!!

Our 1st stop...Zaca Mesa. One of our favorites!

Relaxing

Our 2nd stop was Bridlewood. It's our all-time favorite winery. The grounds are so pretty, delicious wine, and of course the horses.

Weight: 22.4 lbs (50-75%)

Height: 30.5"inches (95%) Cheeese...

She knows where her tummy is...

She loves to wave hi & bye...

Sooooooo big!

Playing "pass"

Happy & Healthy!!

Remi is doing great! Just started her on whole milk, and she's eating pretty much everything we do (just in MUCH smaller pieces). She is walking everywhere...no more crawling. She says mama, dada, dog....and chases poor Buster around the house. She JUST said lala (ella) yesterday. She also likes to play pass, hide & seek with her toys, and telephone. Crazy how big she has gotten & how fast her 1st year has gone by. Love her.
