We have a Walker.. Sort Of

Shay has decided since taking just a couple of steps (right before her 1st birthday), that walking can be fun-- sometimes. She is up to about 8-10 steps in a row, but only when she wants too. Often times, crawling seems to be much more fun- and a much more effective way to get somewhere fast.

Welcome to the Family - Millie June!

Brett's sister Becky and her husband Gregg welcomed their second daughter, Millie June Erickson this past Friday afternoon. Everyone is healthy and happy, and should be heading home on Monday after a weekend in the hospital. Brett, Shay and I got to visit Millie and her family a few times over the weekend-- very fun!

Happy Birthday!

Yum! Actually Shay enjoyed playing with her cake more than eating it!


Present time!

Great- grandpa Buzz, Brett and Shay

Thanks Dad- for some real food :)

We were able to celebrate Shay's birthday this past weekend, by having 2 parties! Since so many family members were able to visit and celebrate with us, we had a morning and an afternoon party. So for Shay- that meant 2 cakes! Lucky girl.

Small Smiles

We are just loving Shay's smiles, even if they are at 6:15 on a Saturday morning.
