Wyatt's 4th Birthday

This past Saturday we were invited to our neighbor's birthday party. It was really fun to see Meadow interacting with the other kids and take part in the birthday festivities, which included a pinata and eating cupcakes. It was also a costume party. I had just bought Meadow this Christmas dress and couldn't wait for her to wear it. So, I took a bunch of photos of her in the dress. Other than the birthday party, we had a pretty mellow weekend. I got together with my friend Jen and her daughter Maddie on Sunday. It is always fun for all the girls to get together. Maddie and Meadow are both working on sounds and words, so it is really fun to see them interact and immitate each other. They also both sign a fair amount, so they tend to copy each other verbally and with their hands. We also went out to dinner together and the girls did so well. It is so nice to have a friend with similar interests and a daughter the same age. We alwyas have lots of good conversations.

Here is Meadow with a santa hat on. I love this picture of Todd reading to Meadow. They love to sit by the fireplace together.

We went over the local holiday bazzar at Welches grade school. This was Meadow's first sighting of Santa Claus. She was not too sure about him and held on tight to daddy.

On our way across the street to the birthday party.

Having fun with all the balloons. She kept saying her favorite word over and over. "Ball"


My neighbor Janelle with her 5 month old son Tanner and a friend Dave with his 8 month old son, Max.

Wyatt opening up our gift of Moonsand. He was a ghost for the costume party.

Don't you just love this dress. Way to go Macy's for having such cute clothes and good sales.

Playing with some drumsticks and sitting in a bumpo seat. She loves all of Tanner's baby gear, including her swing she used as a baby.



Whacking the pinata. She actually made contact with the pinata. This was definitely cute to watch.
Building towers. One of her favorite passtimes these days. Her cousin's taught her a lot about building when we were in Sunriver. Thanks, Parker, Stockton and Xavier. She has been going over to the refrigerator and pointing to their pictures. She says her cousin Hope's name pretty good. Still working on the other three.
