Talking

Just a few extra pictures from our weekend in Ham Lake. Greta is really trying to talk. She's been working on saying, "Tante, all done, Greta, da-da, and bye-bye." Unfortunately, no "ma-ma" yet :( I bought her a pair of sunglasses for the summer and was trying them on her. Apparently, she wasn't too fond of them, because she ripped them off and said, "all done!" She's a girl who knows what she wants. You gotta love her!

Fun At Como Zoo

Greta took her first trip to the zoo on Saturday with Oma, Tante, and Mommy. Luckily, there were indoor exhibits as the wind was pretty cool.

"Mommy, I can't put my arms down!"

Greta and the sloth in the tree.

"Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?"

Nice seal.

Greta and her Oma. Oh, and a zebra, too.

"Look, Oma, giraffes."

Hangin' with Cuz

Greta spent time in Ham Lake this weekend, and of course got to hang out with her cousin, Henry. He was such a sweet little boy and played so nice, while Greta was a little jealous this time :)

Pink and blue.

Opa took the whole family out for dinner. Here's Greta and Oma hanging out by the fireplace.

Enjoying some puffs.

Henry and Greta at the big kid's table.

We love these two!

Let's Go!

9 Months

Greta had her 9 month appointment last Thursday. Here's the stats...
Height: 29.5 inches (97%)
Weight: 18 lbs 4 ozs (40%)
Head: 17 inches


I tried and tried to get a good 9 month picture, but this was the best I could do. Greta is very, very busy and into everything! Boy, do I love this girl!!!


A good look at her two front teeth.

"Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?"

Greta listening to her favorite book, "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" She'll usually sit through part of other books, but almost always sits and listens to this book start to finish.

Fun with My Oma

We were so lucky to have Oma come and watch Greta for a couple days while we didn't have daycare. Here's some pictures from their adventures. Greta loves and misses her Oma (and Opa, too)!

Cottage Cheese

Greta was NOT a fan of eating cottage cheese, but she was a fan of playing with it.

Birthday Party

Greta attended her first birthday party. Her friend Creighton turned one! Unfortunately, she was pretty serious and not the life of the party that night.


Her present for Creighton.


Greta was taller than the birthday boy!
