Can't believe she is already a toddler!

Ady's Easter secret!

Yup!!! She will be in October!

First Christmas & 11 months!

This Christmas was one of our favorites yet!  We were able to experience this glorious holiday through the eyes of a 10 month old, and watch as the lights twinkled in her eyes.  It was heart-warming having her around during the difficult challenges we were/are facing.  Surprisingly she was actually helpful in opening gifts, and loved ripping the wrapping paper off the presents long before Christmas.  She also learned to master pulling herself up to stand, and cruising along the furniture.  Over this past week (couple of weeks shy of her 1st birthday) she has started taken steps on her own, and becoming more courageous everyday.  She isn't far from total independence with walking!  We are loving spending every day with her, and find it unbelievable that she will be 1 in a few weeks.  Where did our baby go? Although our little, bitty baby is growing she is becoming an adorable, interactive toddler.  She is so much fun to be around, and shows off her new skills and smiles every day!

She loves talking to him too

Showing off her Christmas dress with her new boots

Needless to say, that outfit got a little warm - rosy cheeks!

Lots O' Pictures

The last month at the Sass household has been filled with a lot of stress, which is the reason why the updates were sparse in December.  However we did manage to find time to snap photos of our ever-changing and exciting little lady!  This update is full of photos from Thanksgiving up to Christmas.  I hope things will settle down just a bit so we can keep up now, although Adelyn took her first 3 steps yesterday so maybe she has something different in mind!

Thanksgiving at Grandma A's

Afterwards we went to the Holiday Lights downtown - still trying to make it a tradition!

Me and my brothers, finally together after too long!  Love these guys!!!

One of my favorite photos now - in love with this face!

This face always makes us laugh and lifts our spirits!

Unbelievable that our baby is growing up, but she already has EIGHT teeth!

Hamming it up for the camera

Having fun on her froggie and in her new bear claw slippers

Our nights are filled with entertainment from this little munchkin

Monthly pictures are getting harder to take since she won't stay put, so we will take what we can get!  Unbelievable that she is taller than the frog when she could barely filled up his chair!

Love our little Peanut!

Our little elf

Not too sure how she feels about Santa this year!

Ham 'N Pumpkin

Just ask Tim and he would tell you this year's pumpkin was much easier to carve than last years.  If you don't remember last years pumpkin here is a little reminder.  Surprisingly Adelyn enjoyed playing in the pumpkin, and even tried out her chompers on the meat of the pumpkin.  Needless to say, we think this is the most adorable pumpkin!  Last night was probably one of Adelyn's favorites, she got to play in the pumpkin and enjoy a nice, warm bath afterwards.  We are excited to spend this Halloween weekend in Omaha with family and friends.  Hopefully we will be posting some adorable photos next week!

Playing in the pumpkin

Proof that I am such a ham!

Please take more pictures of me, I'm adorable!

Seriously, how cute am I?

That face makes my heart smile!
