(Belated - Again) Friday Firsts - I2K!

Last week Cassie got her first taste of live music! As I2K was my first taste of live music it only seemed fair that it was Cassie's as well. And it was her fist time seeing Enter the Haggis too!

For being way way way passed her bed time Cassie did incredibly well she was sociable and only got a bit fussy right before daddy got her to go to sleep. The loud music didn't seem to bother her, though we did spend most of the night at a table next to the pavilion so that her little ears weren't hurt. All in all I think it was a success!

We spent a bit of time playing in the grass...

Then she got to meet drummer James for the first and last time...mommy was very sad this was his 2nd to last show before retiring...

Then came time to go into the pavilion for the music (in the way back where the sound was very much dampened from all the fans up front) She was very much amused by all the sounds and the lights!

But in the end sleep won out :)

Sorry, no wordless Wednesday or Friday firsts or even Lake Placid this week, It's been a busy week and I've been sick. But I thought I couldn't go a week without a post so here is a quickie!

Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty, Purr Purr Purr.

Dear Cassie

Dear Cassie,

Yesterday (September 10th) you discovered the fact that you can pull yourself up on the coffee table. With that new found knowledge it seems that your arms have grown about 2 more feet and you can now reach everything in sight. I just thought I would write you this note to let you know it is okay to slow down this whole growing up thing, you have your entire life for that. For now you can just slow down and stay mommy's baby girl for a very long time okay?? Thanks.

Love you always,

Mommy.

(Belated) Friday Firsts - First tooth!

Well it seems that tooth that has been threatening to come through for months now has finally decided to start making its debut. Cassie doesn't seem to have a fever, though she has been a major crank lately. I wish all her teeth could just come through at the same time and just be instantly through and have this ordeal over with I hate to see my baby girl in pain! But with the fussiness also comes a curiosity, Cassie now loves to bite down on her spoon during her meals and she loves making noise when she chews on her toys or her cup!

Wordless Wednesday - Tiny Steps

Cassie and the Root Beer...a picture story

Oye, I have a darned big (picture laden) post coming up about our Labor Day weekend camping trip, but while I am organizing all those pictures and doing the write up I thought I would go ahead and post these nice and quick :)

It's no secret, I am an official card carrying member {or would be if there were such things :) } of the Mommarazzi. I will take a picture of anything and everything when it comes to Miss Cassie, the way I see it I want to have everything recorded, you never know what she may want to look back on one day! I may drive Daddy crazy and who knows, Cassie may grow to be aggravated by it some day as well, but until then I will point and shoot when ever I get the chance.

So while I was going through the pictures from last weekend I ran across these, they may seem like nothing as taken but rearranged you have a little story just waiting to be scrapbooked someday :)

Cassie and the Root Beer

So Miss Cassie, have you decided what will you have??

Umm, nothing for me thanks I think I will just settle for chewing on the entire menu.

Or maybe I'll just gnaw on a straw...

Are you sure you don't even want to try a little bit of authentic A&W Root Beer??

Well Maybe just a little...

Oh yea, that's the stuff. Thanks for that Daddy!

THE END

The real story of Cassie and the Root Beer was more along the lines of Mommy and Daddy and Grandma were all having a conversation while Cassie was entertaining herself sooooooo after she grew bored with the menu, then the straw she went for the next thing she could find which happened to be Daddy's Root Beer...which she grabbed and started to spill all over, but Daddy caught it just in time. Turns out though Cassie just wanted to ease her new tooth by rubbing her gums on the nice cool glass. Never a boring outing :)

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday

Woke up yesterday morning to a surprise...not only was Cassie smiling, but she managed to pull herself up in the Crib!

How in the world did we get this far so fast?? A few weeks ago she was barely rolling over, now she is totally on the move, crawling and pulling herself up on everything and anything she can, clapping and smiling and chit chatting away like crazy...ahhhh its going so fast, slow down little girl!
