downtown Denver was amazing!

Dada!!!!

Jiles finally said Dada!  Blaise and I were in bed this morning listening to her babble and talk to herself.  All the sudden we heard it..."Dada".  It was so cute and I am sooooooooo glad Blaise was there to hear her say it for the first time.  She also started saying baba for bottle.  She has a third tooth coming in on the top row and she likes to climb on EVERYTHING.  She has a few bruises from falling, but it hasn't slowed her down one bit.  We might need to get her a little helmet, ha!

Home Away From Home

Blaise's job brought us back to Indy for 3 months.  Jiles has adapted really well and we are making the most of our (small) new home.   It's been great spending time with my family and our Indy friends.  Here are some pics from our first week in "the suite"...

 We are blessed to take this adventure on as a family!

She has full use of her tongue since the surgery!

First Camping Trip!

Camping

We took Jiles camping for the first time last weekend!  It was a little cold, but she kept warm in her bear outfit.  She loved sleeping in Grandma and Grandpa's HUGE tent.  Jiles was a real trooper and made Grandpa's annual birthday camping weekend extra special!

Tongue-Tied

Jiles had outpatient surgery on her tongue this week.  The frenulum (the band of tissue that connects the bottom of the tongue to the floor of the mouth) was too short and tight, causing the movement of the tongue to be restricted.  It can lead to problems with speech and eating.  It was a really quick procedure.  They gave her anesthesia and then clipped it.  She was screaming and still bleeding when they handed her to me in the recovery room.  The Dr. said her frenulum was more vascular than most which means A LOT more blood.  She drank her bottle and the bleeding eventually stopped.  She was back to her normal self that afternoon.  We are so glad to have it over with!  Here is a pic of her in the hospital gown before the surgery....

Another Friend!

Her First Word!!!!

MAMA

It all started when I was running with Jiles in the jogging stroller.  She was yelling and cooing at everyone on the trail when I heard her say, "ma".  The next couple days it turned into mama and mum mum.  She started saying it a couple weeks ago and I finally got it on video!  As you will see, Blaise is trying to expand her vocabulary....

Making Friends....

This was right after a nap.  She likes to peak over the bumpers and then when I walk in she plops down and giggles.  So precious!

 

Her own little fort....

She was ready for a nap after playing in the walker....

Crawling, Gardening, and Laughing

Happy to be outside....

Here's a short video of her laughing.  I was fanning a (clean) diaper at her feet.  She thought it was hilarious...
