The things she carries...

Since Lahna started walking she has found it super exciting to pick everything up and walk around with the things she finds.  These are just a few of the things she likes to carry.

My shoes...

Look at that face...either she's pooping or carrying my shoes is hard work!

She likes to throw our shoes in the bathtub


Bryce's shoes...



She found some wall putty at Grant and Rachael's she just had to carry.

And of course a hammer!

Don't worry I snagged the hammer before she dropped it on her toes.

haha and although she couldn't lift the pumpkin...she sure tried!

Up next...the birthday blog!  Sorry but I have over 100 pictures to sort through (Thanks Katie!)

Thanksgiving ( :

I figured I should probably post about Thanksgiving before Christmas gets here!  

The weekend before Thanksgiving Aunt Alyssa came to Urbandale to see us and just couldn't wait to give Lahna her birthday present.  She got a baby doll and a fun birthday outfit you will see in the coming soon, birthday blog!

Lahna loves her baby doll! Thanks Aunt Lyssa ( :

Random but I wanted to show you what Jamie and I recently created for our cousin Ariel's baby shower...

We left for Thanksgiving in Omaha on Wednesday.  Bryce had to work all weekend so we missed him but still had lots of fun! Grandpa Wes fed Lahna the whole Thanksgiving dinner.  Her favorite was the cranberry dressing that just happens to be Grandpa's favorite too ( :  It was such a nice day we took a football outside and played.  Lahna loved carrying it around the yard.

Turkey coma

 Lahna made daddy proud.  Lets just hope if she becomes a football player she isn't an offensive linmen!

Leaves!

Here are the rest of the fall pictures I promised...

The first two pictures are cookies Jamie and I made for Cara's bridal shower. 

They're mini-wedding cakes!

Now on to the fun pictures...

"Look at the pretty leaf I found!"

Thanks for her beautiful dress Rachel Calkins!

Cute face Lahna.

Much better for Lahna, but now Ryan isn't looking.

Jackson and Ryan

Awww!

Lahna's Escapades

More fall pictures and some fun stories about Lahna's antics

Lahna loves Cheerios!

Jackson

Ryan

The following picture was taken while Jamie was gone for the weekend.  Marcus put the boys in their adorable Chiefs outfits but the best part is how Ryan is "pimped" out with his Chiefs pacifier on a gold chain!  Nice touch Marcus!

Lahna thought it would be fun to put Cheerios on Jackson's head.  Jackson didn't seem to mind one bit.

Lahna is now a climber.  She gets on anything and everything she can.  Bryce even plays a game with her where he throws toys onto the couch and she climbs on the couch to retrieve them and bring them back to him.  Sounds a lot like fetch....great parenting!

Fishing a mint out

After she got one of the mints out I put her down on the floor.  She took off running, opened the mint, and was sucking on it before I could get to her.  When I took the mint away she threw her body on the floor and screamed bloody murder.  Don't worry she was determined to get another mint.  She figured she would push a box over to the table and try another way...

She also likes to climb in and out of the bath tub.

Lahna was playing one day when I heard her yelling.  When I ran in the other room she was stuck in her drum.  I don't know how she got in but she sure couldn't get back out!  And of course like a good parent I took pictures before helping her out.

 

While baking at Jamie's we put the kids downstairs in the playroom.  Ryan and Jackson were sitting in their entertainers and Lahna was walking around playing.  We were busy frosting cookies when it got really quiet, always the first sign that something might be wrong.  When I went down to check on the kids here is what I found....

Lahna must have felt left out because she climbed in with Ryan

Lahna smashing poor Ryan...he wasn't to worried.

I still can't figure out how she climbed in there.
