Pink Polka Dots

My little supported sitter. She can now roll from belly to back, as of yesterday.

Winter Shut-Ins

 

Zak was very excited for his new work laptop

The Hooper family Christmas party was postponed, so Great Grandma and Grandpa let us stay at the cabin for a few days, along with Zak's parents.

 

After Thanksgiving Porter Visit

Our travel arrangements may change in the future, but around the holidays we've been trying to visit both sides of the family. After we enjoyed Thanksgiving with Grandma Hooper's side of the family, we drove to Grandma and Grandpa Porter's house to get the whole family together. We even got Aunt Niki to drive with us to Temple Square, although with a baby it's a different experience, so we stayed in the car and drove around Temple Square instead of parking a mile away and walking without the stroller. A bit dismayed that I didn't get ready enough for us to get a big family picture, I think we all had a lot of fun.

Thanksgiving Meal 2013

This Thanksgiving we met up with the Johnsons for some delicious food and baby spoiling. We were not disappointed. I did miss writing on the Thanksgiving tablecloth, which Zak's family introduced to me, but I think I'll just write V's name in big letters next year. She's growing so fast.

Baby Recreation

After Thanksgiving dinner Grandma Hooper and Baby V had fun on my cousin's, Jason's, bike. When I showed Zak the pictures, he thought of this one of him on Great-grandpa Manwill's motorcycle before Mom and Dad moved him across the country.

V's scalp has been kind of dry, so we lotioned it up one night, which showed off her magnificent mohawk. A few years ago during spring break my friend, Elise, and I decided to pretend we were rebels and tried for my very own mohawk. Mine may have been taller, but V's hair was made for it.
