Peek-a-boo

Erin has started to enjoy the game of peek-a-boo. Even if she is crying she can be soothed by a quick game. She is now participating by pulling the towel from her face (like she saw her friend Wyatt do-several weeks ago)

Crawl take 2

So this was the only successful forward motion we got. We will try again another day, hopefully with the video camara on hand.

crawl attempt 1

Erin has mastered the backwards crawl, but is working on moving forward. Here are two attempts.

Santa's Little Helper

Somehow Santa found our house despite the lack of christmas decor and tree. I even think that the chimney is closed.....I thought he knew we were Jewish

Meeting Baby Dustin

Baby Dustin was born on December 20, 2009 weighing in at 7lbs 4oz and 20inches long. Congratulations Aunt Maya, Uncle Rory and Cousin Aedan.

Chrismakkah

Here Erin poses with the menorah in her first christmas outfit. Identity crisis?

First holiday gifts

Here ever the good jew- Erin is wearing her first christmas outfit on the third night of hanukah. She is playing with her first gift from Aunt Katie and the Karst family. DO have

a future american Idol?

Cyndi's graduation at Ballys

We only got to stay for the role call because we had a long drive ahead. Grandpa is holding Erin right before the ceremony started. Next time we go to Vegas and try and win money.

Cyndi's pinning Ceremony

Erin is wearing the new bow that grandma and Cyndi picked out. We drove to Las Vegas last weekend to celebrate Cyndi's graduation from nursing school. It was a long drive but Erin was a trooper, next time we fly!

Carrots

Fun with carrots. I am not sure if more was on her face or in her tummy.

Hoodie

Erin sporting her hoodie!

Close ups

Here are some close up pictures of Erin- who's ears are those? Does she look like Bridget or Brendan?

Sears debacle

So I thought I would go and get pictures of Erin at Sears for the holidays. I had this free coupon for one free 8x10 and a free sitting fee. Then the sheets of photos were only $2.99. So we take some okay photos and I pick out the one I like best and tell the cashier. She says oh no- you only get the free photo if you spend over $29 and that the discounted sheets are only after you buy 7 at original price of $20. So we just left and took some photos at Maya and Rory's place.

Proud Parents

Here are the proud parents showing off (Erin is actually in Brendan's arms- just below the picture)

More photos

Some more family photos.....

Photo op

Thanksgiving photo shoot- help us pick the best.....

Sweet Pototoes

Today we tried a new food after prompting from the doctor. It turns out we have been under-feeding her and that her recent waking up at night is a result of hunger.

Her new stats are: weight 16lbs 4oz (52%), length 27in (90%), and head cricumference 17in (74%)

Sweet Potato

This was Erin's first attempt at real food and in light of the upcoming holiday we chose Sweet Potatoes

Sperry's engagement party

We took Erin to Andrew Sperry's engagement party to Sophia at a very nice Italian restuarant in Skid row.

Funny cereal picture

Erin has begun to enjoy the rice cereal. In a fit of excitement she knocked the spoon from my hand and smeared cereal all over her face.

Bouncer

We visited Bridget's college roommates house this weekend and tried out their son Wyatt's bouncer. Erin had a blast so we went out and bought her one too.

Wyatt and Erin sitting in a tree...

Erin is flirting with her friend Wyatt (10 weeks older than Erin). He can crawl and escape but prefers the love pats that Erin gives

Finally the end of cereal

Here are the still photos of cereal tasting. I think all babies respond the same way to the strange taste and feel, but it was still funny. Hope you enjoyed the videos.
