Park Pictures

A few weeks ago, my mom's group had a photographer come to our park play date to take pictures of the kids. Here are Blair's shots:

Blair - Future Tennis Star

My parents bought Blair a tennis dress when they visited Wimbledon this summer. I figured I would start getting her used to the sport early. Presenting...Blair - future tennis star:

Orange County Fair

We visited the Orange County Fair today and saw a lot of "interesting" things. It was amazing the stuff they had out there.

Blair was a little tentative at the petting zoo at first, but she petted a few of the goats.

We couldn't believe they had elephant rides, and were even more surprised they let us bring Blair on it too. Blair screamed bloody murder through 99 percent of the ride though, but managed to stop for one picture.

She loved the baby chicks though. These were more her speed.

Not so much for the photo op with Mom though.

Of course, being a county fair, there was every type of fried food imaginable. This was the grossest we found (yes, that is chicken in between two doughnuts):

I did not try the chicken doughnut, but did brave the fried oreos. Yum.

Playing Pictures

Blair has a new game where she likes to scoot off the edge of the ottoman onto pillows. We do that before bed to get wound up. Maybe that is not the best logic.

Blair will not smile at the camera as readily anymore, but this is an awesome shot of Brack and her this evening.

Lauren and Erik's Wedding

My cousin Lauren got married yesterday in Pasadena and we had a great time seeing the whole family. Blair enjoyed her first wedding and danced the night away with her cousins.

Lauren was a beautiful bride.

Brack loved dancing with his girl.

Mom of course wanted to get a picture with the fam.

Day at the Beach

We hung out at the beach this morning since it was such a nice day. Blair started out under the tent playing with the sand.

We put her in a floating inner tube and she absolutely loved it!

We are still practicing walking and are getting better everyday.

Blair's favorite thing to do at the beach is crawl in the water. She is fearless.

This is after the beach and lunch. What a happy girl!

Anniversary and Blair Walking (kind of)

We went away this weekend for our first overnight without Blair to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed at the St. Regis in Monarch Beach. I guess that the sun missed the memo because it was really overcast while we were at the beach club.

Here I am on our hotel balcony ready to go out to dinner:

When we got home to pick up Blair, we were surprised to learn that she has figured out how to walk, at least holding on to her push toy. She loves taking that thing around my parents' downstairs floor.
