Baby Brooke!

Baby Brooke
We got to meet Terri and Gil's new baby, Brooke!  She is ADORABLE and Jiles was so good with her.  It's hard to believe that Jiles was that tiny 11 months ago.  It was great catching up with the girls!

Cathy, Brooke and Jiles


Miscellaneous Pics....
She loves Bob the Bear!

Gross or Funny???  Jiles though it was hilarious!


The New Gate
Jiles is already trying to escape...she is so smart!  Within a few days she figured out how to lift the lever.  Luckily, there is a (red) safety clip that locks the lever down when needed.  She's considered trying the doggy door, but hasn't put in a full attempt yet.  The video below shows her at work.
(Yes, Roxy does use the doggy door!)




Eastland Mall
It was cold and snowy last week so Jiles and I took a trip to the mall.  We did a few laps with the stroller and then stopped at the indoor play area.  It's a great escape during these long winter months!

10 Months and Walking!

Jiles started walking just before Christmas (10 months) and I am finally posting some videos!    We were in Indy 3 1/2 months and got home last weekend.  Jiles started crawling right before we left for Indy and was walking by the end of our stay.  Now that we are home there are many things that need to be baby proofed.  She is quite the little explorer. The first video shows her walking by all the spices she left scattered on the kitchen floor...



Trying her new walking shoes...
