Comfort and security

Sometimes she just ends up tucked up in the corner of the crib. Maybe she feels safer that way.






And who can be afraid of monsters under the crib when you have your attack kitty standing guard?

She's very advanced

Past and present

Being with Etta day to day really takes the edge off of watching her grow. But when looking back at other pictures you can really see the difference!





A couple of differences:
When brand new her whole torso was about the size of the buckle. Now you can't see the buckle for the blankets.

Her little toes were only about half way to the edge of the seat. Now I live in fear of accidentally breaking one of her ankles as I am hefting the car seat in and out of the car since her feet now hang over!

The shoulder straps were almost too high for her to fit in the seat. Just last week Bob had to switch the straps so that they were in the TOP slots!

Princess Etta Grace

These pictures were taken back in early September (I believe) and I didn't even think about putting them on the blog. When I mentioned it to Montana Grandma she said, "Well, YES you should put them on! Everyone in Fort Benton calls her The Princess". So here is Her Highness.

Thank you

This is a day late. But the gratitude is there.

Thank you for keeping us free and safe.

Hi Montana Grandma!

This is my tie-dyed onesie and my good friend Yotango! We are having fun playing.



Love you and can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks!

Dear Uncle Erik,

This is a post just for you. (Well, other people will probably look at it, but the pictures were taken just for you.) One I am in my totally sweet MSU bib before I ate cereal one day. The other picture is from today. My mom told me that you were tired of seeing me in orange, looking like a boy. Well, today she put me in a pink onesie and purple pants. Is that girlie enough for you? I look pretty good in pink. Makes my hair look really red.

Can't wait to see you in two weeks in Missoula! Go Cats!

Love,
Etta
