January Update

Jessica is now 14 1/2 months. She is talking so much these days, saying real words! It is so exciting to hear her say words. Right now, her vocabulary consists of: Mama, Nanny, Papa, ooooh yeah, hi, wow, woah, tee tee, cocoa (her cousins' new puppy--our latest word!), turtle, doggie, dolly, cracker, Ellie, bye bye... and I am sure there are a few more, but I can't think of them. She is pretty much running now... she gets around so fast!

On January 3-4, I participated in the Texas Bridal Show in Dallas. This was my first time ever to have a Memory Works Digital Productions booth at a trade show. It turned out great-- and alot of fun! Ashley and Lisa were so awesome to help me on Day 1. Lisa helped me again on Day 2. I was so grateful for their generosity!!! I could never have done it alone. Look how cute my assistants are...

Day 2...

My Mom's family lives in East Texas, so a couple of weekends ago, we headed down there for the day. It was great to visit Jessica's Great Granddaddy and Great Grandmommy that we don't get to see too often. This is Papa, Jessica, and her Great Grandaddy during our visit.

Aunt Lisa came along, too! We had a wonderful time being together all day.

Nanny, Papa, Jess, Mommy, and Papa (looking lovely... he is always talking during photos!)

Jessica got to meet her Great Grandmommy for the first time ever!!

So sweet!

Aunt Lisa and Jess...

Nanny's birthday dinner at Olive Garden.... Happy Birthday, Nanny!!!

We sent her flowers and made her a cake for her birthday.

Yay!

Look who lost her first 2 teeth this week!!!

We spent this past weekend in Austin. We were so excited to get to visit the Clinks! Jessica had a ball playing with Jack. He is so sweet and precious. Boo for ear infections!

The weather was fabulous, so we spent lots of time playing outdoors.

Aunt Tara came over and Jessica thought it was so cool to ride down the slide in her lap.

Exploring the great outdoors...

This is Cocoa! She is the new addition at my sister's house. Is she not the cutest??

Jess completely loves her!!!

Ellie and Jessica playing outside...

Other random photos from January...

haha... I was getting ready one morning and glanced over at Jessica on our bed. She had put Mommy's bra and sleep shorts around her neck... and she was playing with a comb. She is too much!! So hilarious. She kept taking the bra and shorts off... and then putting them back on over her head. She had no idea how funny she was... I love her.

Loves the remote....

FIRST time ever to have piggie tails!!! So stinkin' cute!!

Being silly.... she is good at it!

Jessica's adorable coat and hat from Miss Kelly across the street...

This is how Jessica lets us know she has to go potty... so funny...

Feeding her babies...

And that's all for now! I hope you enjoyed all the photos. Jessica is such a joy to our family. I love her more than words can explain. It isn't obvious, is it?!?
