Some of Mallory's 1st's.....

Over the past couple of weeks Mallory has had a couple of 1st's. This Valentine's Day was Mallory's first. Jimmy, Mallory and I spend the day together. We just cooked dinner at the house and had family time.

Here is Mallory opening her card from her Daddy. Her Daddy is the best Valentine!! We love you Daddy!

She is very into what her card from Daddy says... It was a sweet card!

Mallory helped me make her card that she gave her Da-Da. We made it out of pink and red construction paper. I am sure it is the first of many. Jimmy loved his card from his little girl!

Jimmy gave Mallory a rose to put in her room. She is spoiled already! Watch out boys!

Here is Mallory in her Valentine's pajamas that her Mama Jean gave her. She looked very cute and festive. Thank you Mama Jean!

Every February Jimmy's family puts on a Boy Scout Camporee at Tannehill and everyone goes out to help work it. This year Jimmy, Mallory and I stayed in a cabin at Tannehill that my parents (Gams and Gannypay) rented. It was Mallory's 1st camping trip. Other than not sleeping so well she did great and had so much fun! Here are a few pictures to enjoy!

Here is Mallory and her Gannypa getting ready to go!

Mallory and Daddy walking around checking things out......

Mallory is an official worker with her Camporee hat.....Thanks Papa!

Here is Mallory and Kelsie (my parents dog) hanging out.....actually they are cooking hot dogs which is Dad's main job for the day.

At the end of the night we all sit around and enjoy a campfire. Mallory loved it!

At the end of the day Mallory was so tired but she was a trooper all day! I just had to post this picture. I think she is too cute in her long johns!!!

Sunday morning we got up and cooked breakfast in the cabin. Here is Mallory with her Gannypa cooking pancakes. By the way Mallory loves to eat pancakes too!

My neice Kaitlyn stayed with us Saturday night. Sunday morning she got out and road on her barbie jeep. She loved it!

Before we left on Sunday we stopped by the playground. Daddy pushed Mallory in the swing.....

Mommy helped me ride the rocking squirrel......

Here are just a few other pictures for you to enjoy......

As you can see we love spending time as a family and with our families. Mallory is 11 months old today and Jimmy and I have enjoyed every minute of being parents. It is so hard to believe that Mallory will be turning a year old in just one short month. Mallory is changing so much every day. She babbles more and more everyday. She really knows what she is saying even though Jimmy and I do not understand her quite yet. She is pulling up on everything and she is crawling so fast and in the blink of an eye she can be across the room.

Hope you enjoy!

Our Family has been busy.......

Since Mallory has 4 teeth now we have started brushing her teeth. She loves it! We brush our teeth every morning and every night!

Mallory is really starting to get into everything around the house. One of her most favorite things to do is to pull all her toys out and string them all over the house. I am lucky she plays so well with her toys. Most of the time she keeps herself entertained.

As you can see in this picture she loves to take her socks off. As soon as I get them on she takes them off! It is a big game for her. She must get this from her Mommy because I would rather not have shoes or socks on myself! I guess she comes by it naturally!

As you can see there is nothing that is out of Mallory's reach. This particular night I had the diaper bag packed for the next day and she decided that she need to check and make sure that I packed everything. She ended up taking everything out. Oh well, she had fun and she was so proud of herself!

The other night she was on the floor playing with her toys while I took a quick minute to empty the dishwasher. She quickly became interested in what I was doing. I was putting up the plastic containers. It only took her a minute to realize that she could take every container and lid out of the cabinet! She had a blast! It kept her entertained for a good 30 minutes!!

I just love playing with my toys!

On Sunday Jimmy and I took Mallory for the 1st time! She loved it. The park in out neighborhood always has tons of kids. We put Mallory in the baby swing and she loved it! She loved watching all the kids. She was just soaking it all in.

Daddy loved pushing me in the swing!

I took Mallory down the slide several times! She loved it!

I put Mallory in the grass to take a few pictures and she was very unsure at first, but I love this picture!

But she soon learned that she could crawl around and eat the grass!

Finally we are on the way home. Mallory was very tired from the fun time at the park. Everytime she gets tired she wants her "lambie." This blanket has become her security blanket! When you give it to her so immediatly starts sucking her thumb. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen!
