Mamie's new stander, and other cute pics

Going to see "The Muppets", Mamie's first movie! What a momentous occasion! I have saved the ticket stub of course. Mamie really enjoyed it, especially the songs, to which she just danced away!
"Neckiss!" she said. hahaha (necklace)
Mamie gets really into saying, "Cheeeeeeeeese!" for the camera.
I guess she was tired of me talking. :-)


Mamie removed the Christmas tree skirt and wrapped it around herself.
Mamie's new stander! Early Intervention brought it. Afterwards, she tells herself, "Good job standing!"

Getting our Christmas tree! Mamie was very scared of the sound of the chainsaw, but she survived.

More Halloween pics, The Box, etc.

My lovely pumpkins I carved. This intricate carving made my wrists hurt for WEEKs afterward.
Mamie figured her toy frying pan would be a great place to dump her Runts. She wasn't a big fan of them, and preferred to go back to her M&M's.
Papa and Tinkerbell
"Can I take a message? Mommy is busy right now." Mamie would make a great secretary someday.
Or maybe a dr. :-) Whenever she wears this, she goes around saying, "doctuh? doctuh?"

Mamie dragged this big box while she scooted across the floor to her tent. Then she proceded to crawl in the tent and attempt to pull the box in behind her. It was hilarious.

I guess she wants beans, corn, and peaches for lunch. She hasn't been too interested in these cupboards until recently. Time to get some baby proofing done.
Just playing around. This picture cracks me up because it looks like she is pole dancing. hahaha
Having some more fun with the box

SB Clinic and Halloween!

Mamie had a very rough day at Spina bifida clinic. She cried during her ultrasound, sobbed while she was weighed, and wailed while she was measured. But she was all smiles for her PT who brought toys and 3 young female students who ADORED Mamie and said how she was the perfect end to their day!
Mamie also does not like having her ears looked at or anything using any kind of instrument. So I let her play with this while we waited so she would not be afraid of it.
Oooo! It's just like a flashlight. We took turns looking at each others faces with it.

Trying to eat one of her "pops" before it was unwrapped. Didnt' taste good so she moved on to another candy. Whenever people asked what she wanted, we went for "pops" (lollipops) or M&Ms, some of her favorites.
Wade and I were star bellied Sneeches. (You know, Dr. Seuss?) Wade lost his star, so he became a plain bellied sneech. :-) Mamie was a little bit scared of our noses.

Mamie and her buddy Annabelle. What cuties! We tried to get them to smile, but Mamie almost cried, so we had to hurry.
Mamie and her stash.
This is after I undressed her after the trunk or treat because she was dripping candy juice on her costume. She chewed on this twizzler for quite a while...never did finish it.


Mamie also went trick or treating and to the party at Intel, where her Meme works. She had caught on to trick or treating by now, and understood that you were supposed to take a candy from their bucket, not give one of hers TO the passer-outer (which she tried to do at the trunk or treat) :-)

"Where's Mamie?"

"Where's Mamie?"is one of Mamie's favorite games. She likes to play it with strangers while we wait in line at the store.
There she is!
Where's Mamie?
These pics are in a weird order, I'm not sure why they got mixed up like this.
There she is!!!
You can't quite see that well, but she has grits ALL over her tummy
Mamie the firefighter at the Fire Dept. day at the Farmers Market.

Just woke up, but still cheerful!
Using her brace as a hair accessory and posing graciously for the paparazzi. :-)

Visiting Utah in August

Mamie likes to draw and had some special time in Uncle David's lap with his book and pen. :-)
Mamie and Livvy on the way to Gabrie's soccer practice.

Alden is quite the growing boy! He's way taller than ME now!
Mamie and Livvy posing with the penguins. The REAL penguins were
very active that day and made the girls giggle.
Playing in the canoe....
Holding hands....

Mamie had a blast, crawling around the smooth floor of the aquarium
