Too big for the bassinet 

Happy birthday to Jacob on Monday!  and Happy birthday to Sonora on Tuesday!

Mary is doing pretty well sitting up, loves watching us eat, and opens her mouth when I offer her a spoon or cup. So I got stuff to start her on baby food this week.  I tried to give her some on Wednesday and she kind of pushed it out of her mouth and made a disgusted face haha.  We'll try again next week.  When she wakes up, she likes to look around her bassinet and she will turn herself sideways and kind of get stuck then she will cry out for us to come to get her.  I am thinking of transitioning her to the crib this next week and seeing if she likes the extra space.

Pool Day

The pool finally opened for real on Thursday, so Mary and I got to go Thursday and Friday.  
Happy birthday to Emily on Saturday!
We met up with Matt, Hannah, and Addie at McKinney Falls and went on a 4-mile hike on Saturday.  We checked out the higher and lower falls but they were disappointing, so we just did one of their trails in the park.  Mary loved being outside and didn't complain at all the whole time.  Then we got lunch together before going to the pool to cool off.  Then Matt, Hannah, and Addie went home and we did our grocery shopping before calling it a night.
Nap on the way to the hike

Sunday we had stake conference and made some yummy bratwurst for dinner.  We are loving the summer so far!

Mary tries real food

10 Months   Happy birthday to Hannah on Tuesday.  I was able to vote and then Mary and I went to the library and had a play date with another family in the ward.  Mary turned 10 months on Thursday!  We went to the playground and she absolutely loved the slide.  Friday Addie came over for a play date.  We watched Toy Story, played with Mary's toys and books, and made pumpkin cookies.  I got a cute picture of the girls wearing aprons.  Happy birthday to Grandpa Sam on Saturday.  We went to a little Christmas Market on Saturday morning and it got us in the Christmas shopping mood.  We went to the mall with Matt, Hannah, and Addie afterward.  We got the girls matching pajamas and took pictures with Mall Santa.  Mary was okay at first then got scared. We got our tickets to come to Utah for Christmas.  We can't wait to see everyone!

Minnie Mouse for Halloween   We didn't really do anything for Halloween because Mary is too little for trick or treating but we did watch a Halloween movie when Paul got home from work and we dressed Mary up as Minnie Mouse for the day.  Helping with the dishes Happy birthday to Rachel on Wednesday. Paul went on a work trip to Colorado all day on Friday.  I dropped him off at the airport at 6 am then Mary and I went home and went back to bed for a couple of hours.  It was a rainy, hot, and muggy day but we weren't going to let that keep us at home.  We went to the local library and another mom in the ward came with her 3-year-old and 5-month-old.  We hung out there for probably an hour and a half.  Then Mary and I went to grab some fun groceries for the weekend.  I tried to put Mary down for a nap but she wasn't having it, so I put her back in the car and we drove to the other side of Austin and did an easy nature hike up to the Mount Bonnell look...

  We had a great week this week.  We had Hannah and Addie over on Tuesday and played at the playground at our complex.  Wednesday we went to a bigger park and met up with other moms and kids in the ward.  We played there for two hours.  Paul got to come home early on Wednesday, which was awesome.  We took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation.  I need new tires, so we'll take care of that next week. Thursday was Thanksgiving!  We had Matt, Hannah, and Addie over for dinner.  I made the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, as well as the gravy and a camembert appetizer.  Hannah made a yummy feta and berry green salad, fresh homemade rolls, and a rich chocolate cheesecake.  It was a fun evening together.  Hannah brought some crafts for Addie and Mary to make and wear turkey crowns.  We played some games and talked. Friday we drove down to Houston first thing and spent the day at the NASA Johnson Space Center....
