It is snowing today in Vegas and I couldn't resist taking Bianca out to play in it for the first time! She loved it, she kept holding her hands out to try and catch the snowflakes...
Bianca had a wonderful birthday party. She was so wiped out after her party that she went home and took a long nap and then opened her gifts. She received everything from a hip headband to a pink princess car! The night before her party we went to a friend's house for a Christmas party. There was a lot of yummy food and Christmas caroling. Santa and Mrs. Claus even surprised the kids by showing up with gifts! Of course, Bianca started crying on Santa's lap but, otherwise, she had a great time. On another note, we took our little munchkin to the doctor yesterday for her one year check-up. She is now 18.11 lbs and 29 inches!

Snuggling with Lucky...
Listening to Mrs. Claus' story about last Christmas.
Cuddling with her cat (at least Jonathan is a good sport!).
We had family pictures taken recently, since our little girl was turning one. J. Terrell did a fabulous job! More to come soon from her Ladybug Birthday Bash!
We spent Thanksgiving in Florida visiting Mimi and Poppy. We were very blessed to have Gigi there as well as Auntie Parissa. It was a short but, fun-filled trip. Bianca spent a lot of time playing in the garden, feeding the fish in the pond behind the house, demanding to be pushed around in her play shopping cart, and enjoying Poppy's delicious homemade ravioli. We also were able to meet up with some good friends who live in Miami, so they could meet Bianca in person and Mark could catch up with his goddaughter, Brianna. We can't wait to get back to the Sunshine State... next time we want to hit up Disney!!!
Bianca took her first few steps the day she turned 10 months old and she has been walking more and more since then. She has finally gotten to the point where she is walking almost as much as she is crawling. We call her the weeble wobble that DOES fall down. She gets so excited once she starts walking that she pretty much breaks into a run and has a hard time controlling herself. Check it out for yourself...
Bianca had a couple of dates - playdates that is (Daddy don't have a heart attack!) - this week. First Trevor and his Mommy, Traci, came over to keep Bianca company while we were home. Later in the week we met up with Collin and his Mommy, Sara, at the park. It is so much fun to watch the kids interact together, even at this young of an age!
Don't they look like they are on a date with Trevor's arm around Bianca?
