The beginnings of September

There are a few things that have happened lately that I definitely want to write about so I don't forget.

This is a picture Bryce took while I was at work. Jayda did this on a daily basis for a few weeks. Sometimes it was multiple times. Most of the time we thought it was so cute that we would just let her do it. She would also take the Q-tips and put them in-between her toes and then curl them up so the Q-tips would stay there. I am not quite sure where she got this from but she also started doing it with bobby pins, nail files, pretty much anything that would go in-between her toes.
Makelle took me on a date to the John Mayer concert. I had such a good time hanging out with her and the concert was a blast too. Unfortunately I am 99% sure John was wasted the whole concert so I think it could have been a little better but his ramblings were pretty entertaining. You know when someone just walks off stage and then comes back about 5 minutes later and announces that he had to pee, they weren't just drinking water.
Hopefully this is the start of a monthly GNO for us.

Scott and Brittney invited us to fly out to Wendover with them which may have been the scariest thing I have ever done. I wanted to make a will before we left but didn't get around to it. I have to give it to Scott though, he is an excellent pilot and there was no need to worry. His landings were better than any commercial plane I have ever been on.

We were able to fly over the B, the temple, downtown and even our house on the way out.

Last month I got this chair at a garage sale for a dollar so I painted it up and put it in Jayda's room. I am surprised with how much she loves it. It is the perfect size for her and she loves to climb up on it and just hang out.

This is her after I put her to bed one night. I took the picture in the dark but on the night setting it looks like it is in daylight. It's amazing what my camera can do when I use the right settings. :) I just thought she looked so cute sleeping sideways with her hair sticking straight up.

Jayda loves to play on the counter while I get ready. She keeps herself entertained by sucking on our toothbrushes (gross, I know), playing with the little candles in glass jars (don't worry, they seem to be pretty sturdy) and taking my makeup brushes and tickling her face with them.

This past weekend we were able to go up to Bear Lake with Heather, Mike, Shantaye, Mike and Dave and Megan came up a little later. It was really fun to watch our three babies play around and see how different they all are. One thing I love about Melia is well, she's stinking adorable, but that she is really independent. She is totally content just crawling around, playing with toys. It seems like she is always happy. One thing I love about Crue is how excited he is about trying to walk and watching people play miniature golf. When he is excited about something you know it and he has a smile that will melt your heart!

Unfortunately I wasn't great about having my camera handy so I am hoping Heather and Shantaye will send me a few that they took. Wink Wink

Jayda has mastered going up and down the stairs which I love. I don't have to be quite so nervous anymore.

We brought up her Bumbo and it was like a long lost friend. We haven't used it for a few months so she spent plenty of time climbing in and chilling.

Swinging was definitely her favorite. I think we let her swing for half an hour one morning and she still wasn't ready to get out.

She has also started walking a little bit. She can stand up and start walking by herself but she doesn't seem to want it. When she is distracted she is better at it, but is content to crawl right now. Hopefully soon she will be on her feet, then I get to buy her some cute shoes!
