My Girl

I was telling Jo that I do not have many pictures of Pepper and I. It is my own fault, since I enjoy taking pictures I am always on the other side of the camera. Ever since I filed my complaint, Jo has been awesome at stealing the camera from me and taking lots of pictures. Here are some of me and my beautiful little girl.

Giggles

I have never heard a cooler sound than Pepper laughing. Now we spend all our time trying to get her to do it again!

Concentration

Development of the nervous system is pretty amazing. At three months old, if she concentrates hard enough, she can get one hand to sort of do what she wants it to do. Each day she gets a little more coordinated.

Happy Birthday Great-Gumby!

Pepper had the honor of having her 3 month birthday on Great-Gumby's 85th birthday. Not only that but it was Grandma and Grandpa Canwell's 40th wedding anniversary that day too! We are so thankful for all of these milestones!

Here is a cute video of Gumby singing to Pepper. Sorry for the random conversation in the background. Jo and I don't know how to stop talking.

Back on the Trail Again

We were excited that Grandpa Lee offered to babysit so that we could do a run up Southfork. It felt just like old times...except that 6 miles felt like 15 would have a year ago. Jo and I and the dogs were giddy, taking in the scent of pine and loving the challenge of the trail. The pause was worth it, but so glad to be back out there!

Jubilee

We really enjoy heading up to Jubilee Lake when it gets hot here in the valley. It is a pretty little lake with a nice trail around it and every time we go there I wish that I was camping. We had a great walk and Pepper loved it! We forgot a sunhat so Grandma Pat found a bandana to cover her bald little head. She looked pretty cute, but now she wants a Harley for her birthday.

Safety Belts...and Bucket Seats

Due to an improved ability to wiggle, we finally had to start using the seat belt to keep her safely in the chair.
