Chris wanted an "artistic" type picture of the one with Phoenix and him on the stairs. Here's the result. We both thought it was very pretty.

Phoenix, Chris, and I went to a great park this weekend called Davis Park. It is within the city of Highland Park, which is a really ritzy part of Dallas/Fort Worth. We took some great pictures.


















After being at the park, we headed to Mom's to eat dinner. Phoenix is taking more interest lately in walking, as you can see for yourself.

These next shots are just a few everyday shots. She is starting to look so grown-up is some of them and you can tell she's definitely a "toddler" now and not a baby anymore. She really feels grown-up in her little pink chair, but we've had to stop putting her in it because she's started climbing on it, and it's not very sturdy. Anyone who's thinking about what to get her for Christmas, here's a hint, those children's foam chairs at WalMart are very sturdy :) .

I thought I would post a few more pictures before I sent an email to everyone telling about the site. These first three are some pictures that we took of her in her Christmas dress, and one of them will go in Mom and Dad's Christmas card, and one will go in our Christmas email. She just adored having this hat on at the consignment sale we went to (she didn't want to stop looking at herself in the mirror), so we got it for her.

All of you have been asking to see new pictures of Phoenix. I thought this was a good format. I think I am going to try to do updates every week or so. For now, here's some pictures we took of Phoenix at a pumpkin farm on Oct 8.
