Fair Photo Booth

We went to the Puyallup Fair last night. We walked by one of those little photo booths and couldn't resist. It was a tight squeeze getting the three of us in there, but we had fun! I think the third picture down is the best!

So Sweet!

Mercy is an accessory girl! She loves hair clips, hair bows, my earings and rings, necklaces, shoes, and anything that sparkles. I can't wait until she can play dress up!

Better Late Than Never- Mercy's 1st Birthday

The wrapping is the most fun part of presents!
Being pulled around by Grandpa is even more fun!

Talking with Grandma!

(She has two grandmas named Sandy. My mom is Grandma, and Tyson's mom is Granny.)

Enjoying the frosting.

Not sure she got much in her mouth!

Her first taste of something sweet (besides fruit)!

Mommy and Daddy are so proud of their girl!

Showing off her crown!

Such a princess!

The tower of cupcakes.

Mercy loves to dance with Grandpa!

Tyson and I bought this musical table for Mercy for her birthday. We gave it to her that morning. She loves it!

My dad picked all of these blackberries out around our property. We have lots more.


Mercy's first birthday was on Sept. 13th. My parents and Tyson's mom flew out for her birthday weekend. It was so nice to have family here for her birthday! We had a nice time visiting with all of them. We had a party on her birthday with the grandparents and a couple of families from church. Mercy was pretty unsure about it all, but she seemed to like the attention! I can't believe she is one already. Here is a little of what Mercy is up to lately:

- Cruising! She loves to cruise. She'll be walking on her own shortly.
- Standing on her own
- Playing hide and seek
- Playing with musical toys
- Saying words: dada, mama, moo for a cow, woof for a dog, itty tat (kitty cat), detecta (smoke detector...I don't know, she loves to look at them), and hi.
- Signing. Mercy can sign for a lot of things now and she understands even more.
- Reading books....and reading books...and reading more books
- Eating table foods
- Drinking whole milk
- Drinking from sippy cup
I hope you enjoy the pictures! We have loads more, but I didn't want to post all of them.
