Erin is 11 months old!

Erin hugs her dolly, Miss Lucy.

Erin is playing with her toy piggy bank. I'm sure she'll take after daddy and be very frugal.

Erin plays in the leaves with her "fur-cousin," Rushford.


Wow, Erin is really growing up. She is starting to look more like a little girl and not so much like a baby anymore. Her hair is growing in and is almost long enough for a little pony tail on the top of her head. She loves music (especially when daddy plays the piano) and will even dance along with the tunes. She is on her way to walking; she's taken about 15 consecutive steps now. She can help with getting dressed and undressed now too, which makes it so much easier to get her ready. Erin really loves animals and will squeal in delight every time she sees one (especially her fur-brother, Carl). She is also saying dadada a lot and mama when she is tired and when she wakes up. She babbles a lot of "nonsense," which really does seem like she is trying to say complete sentences sometime.

We never knew how much we'd love our beautiful daughter. She is such a blessing in our lives.

That dog is one handsome and smart animal.
It appears as if he is attacking your daughter.
Who through her Ninja like talent -is able to sooth the savage beast and then it only licks her!
We love Erin and she does look like a girl (although I feel she always looked like a girl)
