Disney Trip

We had good intentions going to Disney - just getting out of Chicago in the winter. Wasn't quite the trip we expected - an accident on the plane, Rosie getting very sick the second day, followed by Mom getting even sicker and not leaving the hotel room for 24 hours straight. But we had one fun day at Magic Kingdom...

We rode the teacups, Rosie liked this ride.

We watched the parade with all the Disney characters - Rosie was scared of everyone single character when they walked up to her - she clung to me with all her strength.

Picture of the family...

Rosie's favorite ride was It's a Small World.

Keeping herself occupied while waiting in line to ride the Dumbo ride...

We stayed an Animal Kingdom - it is like staying at a zoo. This what we saw outside of our window.

Random Pics from December and January

Just some cute random pictures from the past couple months...

Rosie's First Pedicure

We had a fun visit with our friends Juli, Jason and Lucas from Jersey.

Rosie and Lucas seemed like little clones of each other, it was very cute.

Funny picture of Rosie crying about something...

Learning to feed herself with chocolate pudding....

Another fun visit with Geneseo friends - Olivia, Ben (w/baby doll) and Rosie lounging. Drake, Ben's little brother, was laying on the ground and couldn't join us for the picture:)

Rosie tried on my boots.

Let's go Buffalo! Thank you Betty and Mark & Marie for the clothes!!

We spent NYE with friends - 6 adults and 5 kids at a 6pm dinner at a Chinese restaurant. 

Times have changed.

Rosie had her first sleep over on NYE with her friend Riley- they had the same sleeper on. How cute:)

Birthday Parties!!

Rosie turned one!! She celebrated with not one, not two, but three birthday parties in three different states. A ton of fun at each party and so nice to see family and friends three busy weekends in a row. Can't believe we all made it a year and honestly it was pretty fun.

At 12 months Rosie has a ton of teeth, eats almost all adult food, and can walk. She says a few words - obvioulsy elbow was the latest word. When she sees a dog she makes a weird barking noise "aHH, aHH" which is cute...we will walk past a dog and she will do it, and when she sees one on tv. She still loves avocados and any type of meat. Rosie is officially done with formula...but we have to keep her on soy milk b/sc she still has a reaction to whole milk.

Below are a few pics from each birthday party, but here is a link to Snapfish with ALL the pics:

The first birthday party was in PA. Rosie got a ton of fun toys from all her family.

She also got a very cute birthday dress from Ga Ga, her word from Grammy Cline (for now).

Rosie's 1yr pictures...very cute

Thanksgiving

We had a long Thanksgiving break...we spent time in both PA and NY. Rosie really perfected walking with all the space at the grandparents houses. She also has started to feed herself, maybe gets 50% of the food in her mouth. Link to Snapfish pictures: Snapfish Thanksgiving Pictures

Rosie got to hang out with Aunt Tara at Thanksgiving, and of course her favorite dog Pru.

We got a chance to see  our college friends, The Murphy's...

but very briefly. Thankfully the visit included Wegman's.

Nice picture of Nana and Papa Washburn with their granddaughters, Rosie and Caroline.

Ga-Ga Cline and Rosie hit noses and it was caught on camera:)

Halloween

Rosie enjoyed her first Halloween. She dressed up in the infamous bunny outfit for about 5 minutes to get a picture with Dad in his Fred Flintstone costume. Next costume was the monkey - very cute. We had a get together with friends and babies, and Papa and Nana Washburn. Our neighborhood goes all out for Halloween, so it was fun to trick or treat and decent weather. Here is a link to all the pictures from Halloween on Snapfish. Snapfish - Halloween Pictures

Daddy and Rosie all dressed up.

Rosie and Riley the Fairy smelling pizza...

Rosie as a monkey.

Rosie and Brett met some ghosts, etc

Rosie and her buddy Andy, a cow and monkey. Why are infant halloween costumes animals?

Charlotte Trip

We went to visit Charlotte, NC to complete 3 trips in the month of October. Rosie was great on the plane, she just doesn't sleep b/cs she is too nosy. It was a great visit - we got to visit a ton of friends from home and college and family. We also got to see the Bills win a game!!! We promised everyone would make the blog, so lots of pictures. All the pictures from Snapfish: Snapfish: Charlotte

Our friend from college, Amber Rose (and boyfriend Nick), was a great host.She let us borrow her car for the weekend (don't recommend buying a convertible if you need a carseat), fed us, gave us a bed and found us, not one, but two babysitters. She also had a small petting zoo at her house, which Rosie loved.

Cousin Steven and Marsha had us over for a great bbq lunch. Rosie got to play with her cousins, Emily and Matthew. She also got to see Marsha getting ready to have twins!!

Rosie and her cousin Emily...

Rosie was scared of the guys - cousin Mark, Steven and Uncle Gary (do you blame her?).

She loved Marsha.

We were able to meet up with friends from PA - Melynda, Don Juan, and baby Gianna (sorry if i butchered the spelling). Interesting to watch the two guys with little girls.

Rosie got to meet some of her "aunts" from Geneseo - Heather and Harshida.

Rosie had her Bills cheerleading uniform on for the tailgate...Amy Fay visited and helped her walk.

Amber's future mother in law was really nice and watched Rosie while we tailgated for the Bills game.

In case anyone was worried, Brett and I still like to drink.

Occassionally.

Nice family picture from the game...
