2.24.11 Mars sat up for the first time on her own! Now if she can only stay sitting up and not fall over.
She is getting better at moving around. Although she can't crawl yet, she does know how to scoot backwards and use her feet to push her forward to reach a toy.
Her new favorite toy is a toothbrush. The dentist will love her!

Family Update for 2011
Well, you can see most of my life revolves around a certain little girl whose nickname is one of our planets.
Mars.
Aside from her daily adventures Chuck and I are off to a new year with great plans for the next 12 months.
Here are our plans for 2011:

Aside from her daily adventures Chuck and I are off to a new year with great plans for the next 12 months.
Here are our plans for 2011:
- Be in a better place financially than we previously have been.
- Paint the kitchen - not the mustard color sample that covers a few feet of the wall.
- Finish the Bug
- Expand our family
- Re-potty train Ginger
- Be better gardeners
- Figure out how the sprinkler system works
- Spend more time together
- Be good parents
- Make wise choices
- Get some furniture for our house - once the Christmas tree goes down the front room will be barren
- Build our food storage
- Eat less and move more
- Be better people
That's it for now. Time for some shut-eye and beauty sleep!
Growing Pains
Chuck and I are learning a lot being parents. We have had some growing pains along the way.
1. It is no fun having to take multiple turns putting a teething child to bed.
2. Bedtime at 11:30 pm is not advisable for a 6 month old
3. Christmas lights can be your salvation
4. Who knew food could be so entertaining?
5. Two front teeth are much cuter on a baby!
6. Being bald never looked so good!
7. Bath time is always the best time of day
8. Ten seconds to make a bottle can be too long for a little tummy
9. Being a parent is learning something new about yourself and your child every day
10. Who knew baby food was a dogs favorite treat (to lick off a little face)?
11. "Daddy" time is more for Mommy than Daddy
12. A baby fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty - Author Unknown

Solids!
Now that Mars is 6 months old we have introduced her to solid foods.She loves rice and oatmeal cereals. Most vegetables she loves.
This was her first taste of carrots. Although it may not be obvious, she really did like the carrots.
The past few weeks we added pureed meats to her menu.
Carrots all over her face or not, she is still our sweet pea and my daily happiness.
Mars First Christmas
I know Christmas came and went by so fast and now it is February, but I must share some of the greatest moments we had.
This was the first year Mars saw the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple.
Merry Christmas little reader!
This was the first year Mars saw the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple.
Mars had a lot more presents to open than Chuck or I. Santa brought her a high chair with a toy tray that snaps on. Mommy and Daddy got her some clothes, books, softies, dishes and other little things I can't remember right now. Doesn't she look cute in her blue candy land Christmas PJ's?
Merry Christmas little reader!
