The Best $10 bucks We've Spent...

Lately I have been searching through Craig's list every once and in for baby toys/gear. Earlier this week I found a backpack kid carrier that retails for $130 that someone was selling for $10. Jason went and picked it up on Monday night and Aspen has really been enjoying her new mode of transportation.



This morning we took the dogs (babysitting my dad's dog, Layla) and set out to do a little hiking in the greenbelt. It's been raining here the last few days, but we figured we could get a walk in without hitting to many showers. Aspen was having a great time watching the puppies running around and taking in all the sights from her new vantage point.





We stopped at a bench halfway through the walk to give Aspen a bottle. She was so excited watching the dogs playing in the water it was hard for her to concentrate on eating, but she got it all down and then we hit the trail again.



About 15 minutes after we started back on the trail the rain started to come down. Thankfully we brought an umbrella to put over Aspen and it worked really well positioned into the pack. At least she stayed dry...the dogs and the two of us on the other hand were soaked.



Aspen is so active the last week it has definitely shown me where I need to start doing some baby proofing. It's pretty exciting to see she her figuring out how to get around. She still loves her empty diaper box--couldn't this be an ad for Huggies??



I know I have been posting videos a lot, but I had to include two more. The first one is her pulling herself up to standing on her own--using her dad. She has been doing this a lot this past week.



This second video is Aspen army crawling across the floor. It seems harder than just normal crawling, but she doesn't seem to mind.



Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
