Lenna walking - a 6 second glimpse (and fall)

Welcome to the world of Lenna walking!  She has been getting around furniture and cruising for a while, but now she's starting to actually run, walk & fall. 

Happy Veteran's Day & Happy 10 Month Birthday Lenna!

Happy Veteran's Day & Happy 10 Month Birthday Lenna!

Here are some of the Veteran's that have graced Lenna's presence over the last 10 months of her life

And to everyone else I have forgotten!  Love you all!  We pray that everyone deployed and not deployed comes home safe so Lenna can have many more birthdays!

Rest in Peace Kaisha Marie Beumer

Back in February I made a post about a Kaisha Marie Beumer, a little girl that was going to be in daycare with Lenna.  It is sad to say, but she didn't make it through this fight.  She has made an impact on many people, even those who have not met her, and my thoughts and prayers are with her family.  Here is more information:

Lenna's 9 Month Photo's

Halloween 2010 Lenna and Sarge

Lenna in Her Halloween Costume

Check out how enthusiastic our dog is, he looks quite happy, doesn't he?  Also, look at how long Lenna is standing by herself and she even takes a little bit of a step. 

Happy Halloween!! (and Lenna's First)

It was Lenna's first Halloween and we sure did have a great time.  Lenna and her puppy Sarge dressed up as Dragons.  They had matching outfits, complete with face makeup and spray painted hair.  Lenna spent most of the afternoon in her costume. We took LOTS of pictures!

Lenna standing by herself holding Sarge's leash!  What a big girl.  She stands by herself and has taken up to 3 or four steps.

Lenna loved playing with Sarge's costume.  It made her smile and giggle.

Nice looking dinosaurs, right?  Sarge had his costume from 3 years ago when we went and trick or treated with a friend of mine.  When we went shopping for Lenna's costume, we decided to make them matchy-matchy!

The cutest backsides of a dragon I ever did see

Lenna & Grandma Sue.  Grandma broke her arm but Lenna seems to be good about not picking on Grandma when she holds her.

One of the wonderful ladies that works at Manhatten Toy, and my Mom's best friend Martina.

Our neighbor Lisa when we stopped to trick or treat.

Of course we had to stop by Lenna's daycare to visit Doreen

Last stop was to visit Auntie Kelli & Uncle Chumley (not pictured).  Lenna loved drooling and babbling with the dum dum sucker in her mouth.
