Firsts


First Steps!

Dempsey started taking her first steps a few weeks before her birthday. My girls are all different, but they all three are the same in two ways: they all took their first steps at almost exactly 12 months of age, and they all starting sleeping through the night at 2 months of age. The latter is more priceless than that big diamond in the Titanic movie.


First Awesomely Crazy Hair Moment!



If Dempsey has my hair genetics, she will be blessed with many, many, many more moments like this--and they won't all be awesome. (Whose that crazy man behind her?)








First Birthday!


Dempsey had her first birthday. A good time was had by all. And of course, like always, the cupcakes and balloons were the hit of the party.
(Ignore the granny flap arms).



First Word

What might you guess our baby's first word is. Mama? Because after all, I did carry her for nine months while getting my Masters degree, and labored 3 1/2 long hours with an epidural to deliver her. Dada? Because he is the one who feeds her and lovingly cares for her all day? Oh no, her first word is . . .






That's right, Rocko, the dog. Well little Missy, I don't think "Gocko" is going to pay your college tuition. Chew on that!
