Monkey Girl!

Spencer and I were just sitting on the couch Sunday. Look over, and Tori is climbing up the boxes! We were so amazed at this little person doing this all we could do was stare and laugh!




Tori trying to climb up again.

The next day after I had given Tori oatmeal. I go and wash the bowl and spoon and turn around and this is how she was! I could not believe it! She was strapped in! She managed to even pull her feet out and fall safely to the floor.

Pizza!

Today for lunch Spencer and I had pizza and Tori was just grunting and whining for some, so I gave her a few pieces and she ate it so well and loooved it !

"Come here once!"

Spencer has been telling me about his
Grandma Volk and one of the things
she always says is"Come here once". They joke
around and say "just once?"

August 4th-9th, 2009

Tori is all ready for the drive to North Dakota! I put the 16 hour drive behind me and just thought about all the family we were going to meet!

Getting some exercise before having to sit in the car.

Playing "kick the cool whip" with Sydney. She loved it!
She just laughed and laughed.

Grammy

She had so much fun.

Hanging out with Daddy before some fireworks!

Playing Chubby Bunny!

Chubby Bunny is when you go around in a circle, put a marshmallow
in your mouth and say "I'm a Chubby Bunny!" until you
can't be understood, or can't keep 'em in your mouth! It was a lot of fun. Spencer got 7 marshmallows.

"I'm a Chubby Bunny!"

Watching the fireworks with her nifty
anti-bug bandana. Sweet!

Playing with Papa.
