We had a great Christmas. This year Heidi was a little bit more aware of what was going on than last year. Last year she was in awe by the Christmas lights, this year it was by the boxes and wrapping paper. We went to Anderson to see Gigi and Papaw. we had a great time, and a relaxing couple of days to visit. Here are some pictures from the holidays. We wish everyone, health, happiness and prosperity in 2009.

We went with some friends last weekend. Heidi had a blast, she liked the characters, and loved going on the carousel. I do not think she loved the snowsuit.

Sorry for the delay, we have been busy. Where to begin...

Halloween, Heidi had 3 costumes, the skunk, ballerina ( it was too warm for the skunk outfit) and Pebbles Flintstone.

First Birthday, we had a nice little party with the grandparents at Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Mike's house. Heidi likes cake, she must get that from me. We had a nice Thanksgiving at our house with Gigi, Papaw and Great Grandmommy. We will be heading to Anderson for Christmas to spend with family. This has been a wonderful year, and we are excited for 2009, whatever or whomever it may bring ( no I am not, if that is your next question). Have a safe and happy holiday season. Merry Christmas from the Ward's.

What a change in one year.

Next week Heidi will be a 1 year old. It is hard to believe that it has been that long. She is such a wonderful little girl, and this has been the best year of our lives so far. Heidi started walking at 11 months, and she is a pro now. She has 6 teeth, and we are on our last can of formula. I will post Birthday and Halloween pics.

I am 10 months old now, boo yah

Hi everyone,

Heidi turned 10 months old last week. She has her two bottom teeth, and we are working on some on the top too. She is cruising everywhere. We catch her standing on her own. She loves to turn the tv on and off, we don't love it. Gene, Bear and I are good. Heidi's cousin Wyatt turns 1 tomorrow. What a big boy. It is hard to believe how fast time has gone by.

I am now 9 and a half months old, and feeling FIERCE!

Let's see what the summer has brought us.....

I started crawling at about 7 months

I can clap my hands, I learned that at about 8.5 months

I am also cruising, and can pull myself us. That started at around 9 months also.

Still no teeth, but I am getting the bottom two very soon.

We got some pictures taken for our 9 month bday. My dad likes the colts, and I am almost grown out of my cheerleader outfit From Uncle Al, Aunt Rachel, and Cousins Kurt and Frankie. I don't know if I can wear it during football season. Good thing Daddy also got me a Manning Jersey.
