Inara turned one on July 11, 2009
She weighs 21 pds 11 ounces & is 29.5 inches tall. She is fully mobile, walking, running and if she falls down can get herself back into walking position and takes off. She rarely ever crawls now.
At the pedi's office Inara met all of her milestones (all except the one related to speech) and has already completed EVERY 15 month milestone (except the one related to speech) and is working on 18 month milestones at only 12 months!
Speaking of speech, we are still in Speech Therapy as Inara's receptive communication skills (what she understands & executes) are testing at 15-18 months, while her expressive communication (verbal) is testing only 10 months.
Inara signs more & all done (sometimes milk but it looks more like a wave). She can follow simple commands (flush the toilet, where are your shoes, make it go beep beep, turn the wheel, in, out, pat the back, etc). She can point out items in in a book (cow, red balloon, etc) when you ask where they are. She stacks blocks, can point out head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth & bellybutton. When I say foot, she gives me her foot to put her shoes on + much much more. She has learned so much! What a difference a year makes!

Meet Jen & Emma
Emma is Inara's best friend. They play so well together. Well as long as they are at
Emma's house. Jen is one of my closest friends. I do not know what I would do
without her.
Who is Your Dada?
Eventhough she looks nothing like either of us (blonde hair, blue eyes). I think it is safe
to say, we know exactly who the dada is.
Inara & Swimming Lessons
Here are some pictures from Inara's swimming lessons. She is such a fish. We took our first lessons in April-May and then again just the last 2 weeks in June. Inara received permission
from our instructor to move up to the next level without meeting the age requirement! Congrats to our little fish.
Really we are not drowning her in the first picture. We practice going underwater.

Sorry, guys. All my pictures are in RAW and I need some time to convert and edit.

Sorry it's been awhile
Computer crashed, got myself a new MacBook (goodbye forever PC) - should have switched years ago.
Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us in April. Inara had a blast. She loves company.

Inara - 6 months
What she is yelling at, we have no idea.
One of my goals this year is to take better pictures. Now that life has slowed and we are in the grove as new parents now is the time.
Hope you enjoy these. I promise I will work on lighting. We are going back out tomorrow.

Baby's Christmas Ornaments
LOVE THEM! It is actually wall vinyl on the ornament (I am a creative genius admit it :-)
It is that time again...
Yup! It is party planning time. Inara's First Birthday is coming up FAST and I have BIG, and I mean HUGE plans!
Here are some things we have decided on:
Pettiskirt

Matching birthday shirt
Clothes are from Oopsy Daisy Baby (please don't google the price you don't want to know)
Cake
We need 2 cakes one for her one year pictures scheduled for the 17th of July and one for her party July 11:
This is the cake for her party on the 11th (only 2 tiers and much smaller). Remind you of her bedding? It should we are using her bedding for her crib as our color scheme and decor. Inara LOVES her circles.
However it will only have 2 tiers (one layer the stripe and the other layer dots), like this one:
For her first birthday cake we are going with a cake like this (square with a bow) done in the circles:
But I think I like this bow better:
We are going cake tasting on Monday next month.
We covering the ceiling in our dining room with paper lanters (in red, blue and green) same lanters that we used in her nursery. Hobby Lobby has them and I get all the lanterns we need for like $40.
Remember this? I made this parasol for our wedding and will be making Inara one based off her monogram in her nursery.

I am also ordering some white lanterns and will paint the words Inara's First Birthday on them and hang them up. I will also be making a happy birthday banner if my amazing Stampin Up Demonstrator Megan Daves will let me use her big shot again.
Invitations will also be made by me. Here is a sample of (wrong colors but you get the general idea):
And somehow I scored a customized photo stamps package at Walmart for $4 (regular $20). I get 20 first class stamps staring Inara!!!! I cannot wait to put them on the envelopes.
Plus so much more including cupcakes!!! You will not want to miss it!
6 month pictures and RSV
Inara was diagnosed with RSV earlier this week and her 6 month pictures had to be cancelled :-(
BUT we will rebook for sometime very soon!
We have also made it our New Year's resolution to take more pictures of Inara - so each weekend we will be going somewhere to take pictures. Stay tuned!
