HaPPy BiRtHdAy KeLLeY!!
What a great day! We celebrated Kelley's birthday last Saturday with friends and family. When I first met him he said it was his favorite holiday. That is a lot of pressure to make it fabulous... at least it only comes once a year! I'm so excited to celebrate many more birthdays with him in the coming years!
Classic Kelley expression:
For part of his gift I gave him tickets to the OSU football game against Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. This family picture is from the game... and of course it had to be an orange frame!
Seoul found the perfect card to give him. It says: DAD, I know I can be a stinker... but you gotta admit I'm a lovable stinker! Then she proceeded to eat it as the picture demonstrates. She also found this fabulous baby girl dress that she knew daddy would love:
We celebrated with friends and family at Bullwinkle's Family Fun Center in Wilsonville. ( http://fun-center.com/ ) Totally fun! They have go-karts, mini golf, bumper boats, lazer tag, arcade, and a ton of other stuff. We hit up the mini golf and arcade. Kelley hit the jackpot at some of the arcade games! Our nieces, Amanda & Ella, did amazing on the rock wall!
Yum! Cake!
Seoul can't wait until her 1st birthday for some of that delicious goodness!
Loves from his sweet mom and baby girl...
Seoul got in some loves from the grandparents during the day:
Seoul & I are so lucky we have Kelley! He is compassionate, loving, intelligent, funny, and handsome! It's such a blessing to have him as the head of our family. Love you Kelley!

there's no stopping her now!
Seoul is on the move! A few weeks ago she decided she would try this crawling business. Picture it: she's up on her hands and knees. Good start. Then, instead of the typical crawling with both knees, the left is bent under her body like she is sitting. The right is bent with the foot at an odd angle on the floor. She pushes off with her right foot, pulling/dragging the left leg underneath her. It causes her to push off to the side rather than a straight line. Kelley calls it the "dead man's crawl" and it's adorable. Really. She has become quite adept at this motion, though, and shows no sign of the classic crawling motions. (no great pics of this crawling, sorry!)
One day I went to get her from her nap and she was STANDING in the corner of her crib with the expression "oops - you caught me!" She had not rolled from back to front yet so it was a total surprise. Since then it is exciting to see her little head poke over the top of the rail with a big smile knowing I'm going to pick her up. Of course we moved the crib to the lowest setting. The only downside is that she doesn't go down for naps as easily. It might coincide with her trying to drop out the 3rd nap of the day, though. She's down to two and most of the time she still lays down to sleep easily. Just every once in a while now she just stands at the side and cries. It breaks my heart.
These days she is all over the place and it's so FUN!! I love all these milestones. She has been pulling herself up on furniture for months so now she enjoys crawling to each piece of furniture or toy. She's super quick at pulling herself up, and she balances more often without holding onto anything. Her new favorite trick is to pick things up while she's standing. Yay for mobile babies! Love it!
