So, I will be posting multiple "mini posts" of mostly pictures. Since I lost all that I wrote, I am including more pictures than I normally would.
A few things about Freyja:
She has been scooting backward and just started crawling forward on May 11 (few days shy of 9 months old). She is pretty quick and has become more confident in just a few days! She was hesitant for a while and often face planted or ended up on her belly--or with her legs flailing but not propelling her forward--but now she is less frustrated and can explore the world in a whole new way!
Here goes:
APRIL 23
Nick & my 2 year wedding anniversary. We woke up to the sight of a whole lot of snow!
APRIL 26
Freyja and I enjoyed a "picnic" on the deck with our new patio furniture. We had a nice time!

| I love her smile! |
 |
| Gasthof is ready to clean up any dropped food... |
 |
| 2 spoons...which to use? |
 |
| "I want food!" |
APRIL 27-- Freyja loves her daddy! She is close to being on the move. She loves to smile, clap, stick out her tongue, and say things like "da da da, ma ma ma" and she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. Even socks.
(I try to keep the socks away, but she is sneaky!)

Enjoying our new patio furniture, part 3! A nice birthday gift for Nick and me from our parents :)

|
 |
| She loves sticking out her tongue! |
 |
| She doesn't like to just sit still. She wants to stand like a big girl! |
 |
| The tongue again! Silly girl :) |
 |
| "All right daddy, let's go!" |

| Relaxing...beer, sunshine, and family. Doesn't get much better.
You may have noticed already, but Freyja loves to eat!
 MAY 7 Freyja's daycare was closed for a staff development day, so I took the day off from work to hang out with Freyja. It was nice to have a whole day with her during the week!
|
 |
| Ready to go to the zoo! |
 |
| Grandma took this picture before she left! |
 |
| Her first time in the "big girl" stroller (previously we used this stroller, but with the car seat attachment. |
 |
| Pretty blue eyes she inherited from papa! |
 |
| Freyja's first trip to the Como Zoo. The stroller worked as a stand-in high chair! |
 |
| It looks like she is sleeping--but she wasn't. I just caught her looking down & blinking. There was so much to see that she didn't nap the whole trip until the car ride on the way home. |
MAY 11
Freyja has gotten more interested in Gasthof in the past month or two and tries to "talk" to him to get his attention. She will try to pet him, and he responds by giving her a bunch of licks. He is aware of her and doesn't seem to mind that she plays on the floor too. He is very sweet with her.

Freyja and her piano
 |
| She is proud of the music she makes |
 |
| She loves being able to hold on and stand up on her own! |
 |
| Jam session |
 |
| Such a sweet daughter! |
MAY 11 PART 2
In the afternoon we hung out with Katherine & Andy and their 1-year old daughter Sophie. It was a cool but sunny day, but we all enjoyed a walk to the park! Katherine and I have known each other since we were 3 years old--we lived on the same block and went to preschool through 8th grade together. It has been fun to see the changes over the years and I am so happy for the wonderful blessings she has in her life!

| Double slide! |
 |
| Swing time! |

May 11 Part 3
Another nice evening on our deck.
MAY 12--MOTHER'S DAY
Nick took care of Freyja in the morning and I got to sleep in! We then went over to my parent's house to get together with my mom's side of the family, including my grandma!

| Mother's day. I love her smile! |
