1st Birthday!

Our baby girl is ONE!!! Friday, on Lena's birthday, Lubin and I took the day off and took Lena to the Pumpkin Patch. We had so much fun! Lena's favorite thing was playing in the corn pit. They also had a petting zoo, where we saw goats, sheep, calves, donkeys, and many other animals. We got the ride a hayride to the Pumpkin Patch and pick out our pumpkin. We are hoping this can become a yearly tradition for Lena's birthday. We can't wait till next year. Here are a few pictures from that day. I will post some of her birthday party later!
I found one!

First Steps!

Well Lena took her first steps Saturday, 10/2. Lubin and I were in the living room playing with her when she let go of the couch and took a step. Unfortunately, I was not looking so I did not see it but was glad Lubin saw it. Since then she will take a few steps at a time (when she is in the mood and doesn't get to excited). We haven't been able to get her on video yet taking steps so I was going to post this other video. Lena will now show you were her belly is! She truly amazes us how smart she is and how fast she picks up on things. This is her 2nd body part she has learn (the first one being her bottom). I will post a video of her walking as soon as we can get it and definitely post pictures of her 1st birthday soon!!! Can't believe our baby girl is about to be 1!!!!

Lubin turned the camera where Lena could see herself while we were recording. She thought it was so silly to see herself. This baby loves herself!

Lena playing

Lena playing on the floor with Mom and Dad. She likes to tell you what Duke & Bailey (dogs) say and she LOVES to talk on her phone already. She is usually calling Dada. :)

Just incase you forgot what you were suppose to do when you open the car door to get Lena out, she is going to remind you. This is so cute!! I wonder how our little princess can be this smart sometimes. Lubin asked me a couple of weeks ago if I had seen her doing this and I had not. But then Aunt Ang told me she had seen her do it a couple of times. Guess she just wanted to show me last. Hope y'all enjoy!

Messy baby! She LOVES baked beans!


Looking at books in her room. One of her favorite things to do.

We have 2 teeth!!!!

She loves to walk her baby down the hall. This was a few weeks ago, we have improved alittle bit now.

(And she was fine. She got right back up and walked back down the hall.)

Here are a few more pictures from our beach trip. Ang took more with her camera so I will try to add some of hers later.
Sorry that some of them are sideways. I can't figure out why they are the vertical.

Lena and daddy playing in the water.

She had all those toys and wanted to play with a water bottle.
