Three Walkers and a Lindsay

Lindsay had a fun playdate with her friend Walker today. They especially loved tooling around with the two "walker" push toys in the background. Walker's mom Jorie and I are looking forward to getting them together again soon.

Saturday Play

This captures Lindsay's routine of emptying her toys off the shelf in her playroom.

I've mentioned Lindsay is an equal opportunity "lovey" giver and doesn't understand the difference between loving: her parents or furniture, a stuffed animal or the floor, a doll or an item of food. Here I caught her giving a lovey to a pillow.

Rocking the chair and rockin' out. Lindsay was "dancing" (shaking bum and swinging hips) when I snapped this shot.

Lindsay loves playing with this Christmas gift from the Lawell family!

Visit with Grandma Ann

Grandma Ann had to make an unexpected trip to her hometown in Southern Illinois so she was able to spend the week with us in Chicago. Lindsay had so much fun with her. Here are some shots of them playing together...

Lindsay loves giving her baby and Grandma Ann "loveys" (leans her head in for a cuddle).

Ladies...All the Ladies...Louder Now, Help Me Out!

Lindsay had a fun playdate with her girlfriends. At this age (10 months - 20 months) response rate isn't the best. The girls were all playing kitchen. Lindsay and Lauren are facing the camera in this shot...

...and while Lindsay is fleeing the scene, we managed to get everyone facing the camera in this shot. Anna and Charlie are in the front (L-R).

Cute...

...not so cute. This is one of Lindsay's favorite new faces. It resembles an overly excited beaver.

Baby It's Cold Outside!

In early January it just didn't stop snowing in Chicago. Here are some shots of Lindsay and us enjoying the winter wonderland from our front porch!

More Family Fun

We loved having everyone from the Peterson side of the family over to hang out, dine and play games over the holidays. Uncle Chris and Aunt Michelle pose with Lindsay by the tree.

Matthew, Andrew and Joey played with Lindsay lots and Scott and I enjoyed playing Catchphrase and Uno with them.

Christmas in Crown Point, Indiana

Lindsay was so excited to meet her cousins and many of her aunts and uncles for the first time over Christmas. Here she is in front of Grandma Pat's decked out Christmas tree with the whole gang: (L-R back row) Joey, Matthew and Andrew Lawell and (L-R front row) Caidyn, Grady & Keegan Peterson.

Matthew is Lindsay's baby whisperer cousin and couldn't wait to get his hands on her when she walked through the door!
