crib photos

These pictures are a couple months old, but I've been lazy about updating this thing.

Snowshoeing!

Two weekends ago we took Lindsey snowshoeing with our friend Mary. We walked five miles around Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood. Lindsey had a blast and seemed to like the snow. She got a little restless sitting in the backpack for a few hours. But next winter that won't be a problem. Even if we take her in a backpack next year, we can let her out to run around now and then.

This picture is actually near the end of our hike. Lindsey was tired and assumed this sleeping position for half an hour.

I've delayed a bit in posting this, but here are Lindsey's first steps -- caught on camera. This is from a week or two ago. She still isn't walking regularly, but she gets closer and closer every day. For example, this evening she walked all around our house pushing her "Wheely-bug." Half the time she was pulling it with her, which tells me she does not need it for support.

Christmas, Westin style

Jessica's family celebrated Christmas a little late this year (January). Here are just a few pictures from Christmas at Grandpa Rik's house.

This is Lindsey and her cousin Andrew. Andrew and Lindsey were both born on January 21, 2008, almost exactly 12 hours apart. Both were born via c-section.

Holiday Pics

I'm still going through some old photos from the holidays. Don't worry, I still plan to post the video of Lindsey's first steps. You'll just have to keep checking back here daily until I do.

Here are all of the girls (and Jackson) when Elaine was in town around Christmas

First Birthday

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated Lindsey's first birthday at the Spaghetti Factory:

All in all she was a happy little girl

This was her invitation for people to come celebrate

Race for the Cure

No Lindsey is not shrinking. These are just some pictures I discovered on our computer from a few months ago. This is the Race for the Cure in September. Below is Lindsey, Jess, Renata, and Mary.

Lindsey and me. Lindsey has a look on her face that says "if you take my bottle, so help me god you'll have trouble . . . ."
Earlier today Jess took Lindsey to the Dr. because Lindsey has not been sleeping well and just seemed grumpy. Turns out she has an ear infection. I knew she had to inherit something from me. Fortunately, though, her first ear infection was not nearly as early as mine.
