An Adventure

Let's see, this strap goes here and that buckle attaches there and she goes in like this and her legs go through like that......

Come on Daddy, let's get going! I wanna see the great outdoors. Hmmmmm, I wonder if I can grab his hair.......

As you can see we just got a new frame backpack and have tried it out. Now we need some good weather and we'll be out hiking. Can't wait to try it out at the cabin.

Baby Talk

Autumn has discovered the joys of playing with a doll. She loves to talk to this baby and grabs her clothes and arms. The hair is a fun texture so that is another favorite part. She talks and talks and talks to the baby. Now we just need to name the baby. And the baby looks just like her, what a great gift from Grandma Triebenbach.

Two to Tango

Mommy got me a new piano to play. Who knew you could play the piano with your feet?

Autumn kicks so much we thought it would be fun for her to have some thing to kick besides us.

In the mornings I like to play with my butterfly while Mommy and Daddy get ready. And it is fun to lounge on their bed.

Daddy and I were dancing in the kitchen and Mommy got a picture. Aren't we cute?

A Day In My Life

Autumn is getting to really enjoy sitting up. She can't do it by herself yet so we have to prop her but it is one of her favorite activities.


She is also really enjoying bath time and kicks and splashes in the water. She loves to lay around in nothing but a towel. What a fun time we are having. I can't wait till she is old enough to have bubbles in the water!

See my pretty barette? My hair is long enough for them but it isn't thick enough and they keep sliding out. But they are pretty aren't they?

When it gets warm in our apartment I like to lay around in just my diaper. Then the cats come and tickle my tummy with their whiskers! He, he, he.

I thought I'd try a somersault but Mommy caught me before I bonked my head. I'm really starting to move, just wait till I'm rolling all over the floor and then crawling! I'm going to keep them on their toes!

Family Visits

We love it when our niece comes to visit, she is so full of energy and giggles. She and Kurt like to try different acrobatic tricks. Here is their latest attempt.

Winter Storm

These pictures pretty much speak for themselves. We actually had a snow day from school with this one!

Winter Days

We went for a walk the other day. We got Autumn all bundled up in her cute little snow suit and headed out. She really likes to be moving whether in the stroller or in the car. It was all good going out as the wind was to our backs and she could look around. But on the way home we were walking into the wind so we had to cover her all up, she fell asleep since there was nothing to look at.



Another day Jason came to visit. They have fun together and she smiles and talks non-stop to him. As you can see they are very into their conversation, I just wish I knew what they were saying to each other.

Fun Times

So the cats seem to think that Autumn's toys are great play things. CJ can't figure out how to get to the balls in this one. If you see in the background his ball track looks similar to this toy.

See what I have mommy? It's tasty, you should try it.

Bet you wish you knew what I was telling Aunt Kelly, bet she wishes she knew too! :)

Snow Baby

Look at our snow angel! Kurt made the angel and then we plopped her in. She smiled and laughed. She liked being out in the snow.

While visiting in Osakis we got a cold family picture.

We were just having fun with the piles of snow and Autum was having a fun time too.

Timberwolves Game

We had a good time at the Timberwolves game last night. We even got home before the snow started to come down. Today it is coming down without an end in sight! It was Crunch's Birthday (the mascot) so mascots from lots of other teams came and they did lots of funny things during timeouts. During halftime they played musical chairs roller-derby style. Lots of fun. The noise didn't seem to bother Autumn much, that was good. She slept through the 3rd quarter but otherwise had fun looking around at the faces and lights and other moving things

Our Valentine

We went to a Valentine's Day dinner at our church and took Autumn with us. The dinner was lots of fun, with good friends to chat with and an entertaining game show to keep us laughing. So this is our first official family photo!

Here is Autumn after a hard day of playing and learning.

Here we are playing with her rattle, she has been tasting it and offered me a chance to try it out.

A friend gave Autumn a large stuffed elephant. It is so soft, it reminds me of the Saggy Baggy Elephant (someone has to have read that story!) She really likes to talk to her elephant!

It Is Done!

Well, it's official. Kurt has finished his CD! He has finished the artwork for the case inserts. He has put them all together. YAY!

Here you see Nero supervising the assembly of the cases. He is a great supervisor, and always makes sure that nothing runs away. We are producing these in batches. The first one is mostly sold out and the second one will be started shortly. It is so exciting to hear his music with all the other instruments and voices! Autumn likes to listen to Daddy's voice, she squeals and kicks her feet and waves her hands around when his CD is playing.

Milestones

Autumn is rolling over, holding herself up on her tummy, and grabbing toys! Yay. How fun it is to watch her grow and learn and explore. She enjoys reading with Daddy and Mommy and smiles when we make sounds to go with the pictures. The cats are really starting to notice her now that she is moving more. She kicks and squeals and just has a ball.
