Whenever she sees or hears one she starts woofing. So a few weeks ago we had a little family outing to a pet store so she could see some little puppies. Oh. My. Goodness. She had so much fun watching her little furry friends. As soon as we took her out of the car she heard the dogs and she started woofing. We're not planning on getting a dog anytime soon, but after seeing those cute, sweet, little, snuggly puppies it was sure hard not to take at least one home with us.<br />

On Sundays, while I'm in Primary, Dave will be busy running around or doing things in the clerks office. So what does he do with the babe? He puts her up on his shoulders and she'll just hang out there and play. Dave has trained her so well that he doesn't need to hang onto her or anything.<br />
<br />
Part of being on Dad's shoulders is getting a horsey ride. Usually after dinner Dave will give her rides for a few minutes and the house is filled with squeals. I love it.<br />

Whenever I'm trying to get something done in the kitchen Lisi always manages to be in the play-with-me-or-hold-me-and-if-you-don't-I'm-going-to-scream-and-pull-on-your-leg mood. When this happens I can usually just open a cupboard or the pantry and the tears will magically disappear. Then it manages to turn into a mess I have to clean up, but I would rather clean up a mess than have a tiny person I'm constantly dragging around on my leg.<br />

We then got a package from Grammy and Pop Pop which was filled with candy. Dave came home from work one evening and grabbed a couple of Reese's. Lisi wanted to know what was so special about a Reese's so she grabbed one right out of Dave's hand and started gobbling it right down.</div>

We had our ward Trunk-or-Treat the Friday before Halloween and usually Dave isn't too fond of the idea of dressing up, but this year he was all into it.</div>

On Halloween, the application Dave is on at work put together a little Trick-or-Treating so Lisi and I headed over there in the afternoon. Dave took his little banana around to the offices so he... she could get some candy.</div>

Do you think she had fun?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That night, Lisi was a little worn out from all the festivities and skipped out on Trick-or-Treating. She handed out a few pieces of candy and went right to bed. I would have to say it was a very successful Halloween!</div>

I know she doesn't look like it, but believe it or not, Lisi is one! We went out to Utah for a friend's wedding and stayed out there to celebrate Lisi's day with some family. Lisi had a blast!<br />

At the tender age of one, Lisi uttered her first curse word. Oy.<br />
<br />
We were all just hanging out after dinner when Lisi started her I-skipped-my-afternoon-nap-so-I'm-exhausted-but-wired pacing. She was going around and around the ottoman so Dave decided to take a little video. Little did we know we would get a little more than just pacing.<br />

It has been months since I updated the blog. In my defense we have a super old laptop where we upload all of the pictures, but it takes 30 minutes to get online so by the time the pictures were uploaded I wasn't in the mood to blog. This all changed on Saturday, well yesterday, depending on how you want to look at it. On Saturday we went to Best Buy and ordered a computer which came yesterday! In a matter of five minutes I uploaded all of our pictures and I'm ready to go. Instead of catching up on the last 6 months I thought I would just start fresh.<div>

My dad came out to see us (Lisi) for Thanksgiving. Despite Lisi's first really bad cold, long nights, and cold weather, we pulled together a pretty nice meal.<br />
<br />

Maybe it's because Maren's always been a nerd at heart, or maybe I'm just rubbing off on her.<br />
<br />
But the other day (as in about a month ago) after Lisi's bath, Maren said, "Dave, look. She looks like the chubby guy from Star Wars with a monster."<br />

Lisi's had a lost of firsts this weekend, and I was blessed to be here when they happened. First notice of her hands. First night with enough arm control to spend it sucking her hand. First really good day of naps.<br />
<br />
But this evening takes the cake. As Maren was breaking down some packages from Grammy that had contained Lisi's Christmas presents, Lisi started to giggle. Maren and I both looked at each other in joyous disbelief. Then we enjoyed her second giggle with tear (or two) of happiness. We rushed for a camera to document the third. Sorry you didn't get to be surprised by her first giggle, but here, preserved for all time, is Lisi's <i>third laughing fit</i>.<br />
<br />
You're welcome. You'll notice that Lisi doesn't find our laughs funny. Just the destruction of boxes. She's also close to tears by the end. Whatever it takes.<br />

Why, the literature shelf, of course<br />

Lisi can lay and gaze for an hour without so much as a peep (although there are some coos and slobbers). My brain tells me she's looking at all the different colors.
