Where has the time gone????

Our little Lola is now 9 months old....I have no idea where the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday I was waking up with her every 3 hours to feed her and now she goes all night long and is trying to walk on her own. She's our little Miss Independent. She wants to do everything on her own...which makes mommy (and maybe daddy) really sad. We took these pictures a week or so before her 9 month birthday but they still work. Haha.


Lola Jean Kipfer chillin' in the bath tub!

LOOOOOOVVEEEE this picture!!

She loves to "swim" in the bath tub.

It's nice to eat the letters and use them to spell things.

Fall in Indiana

Drew and I both love Autumn and all that comes with it. I particularly like pumpkin flavored things. Drew loves the leaves. We decided to go to the new 100 Acres that just opened at the IMA. The leaves were absolutely beautiful. And we got some pictures with us and Lola too.









To see all the best pictures from that day follow the link to see my facebook album. There were just too many pictures to put on her the silly way they do it.

How big is Lola??? SOOOOO big!

We taught Lola to tell us just how big she is. We ask "How big is Lola?" and when we say "Sooooo big!" she puts her arms in the air just to show us that she's becoming a big girl.



For awhile when we were teaching her she would put her hands up and hold her thumb so it was more of a ballerina pose. It was still super cute!!

More cute pictures of Little LJ

Just a few random pictures of my stinker pottomus!!







Cradle Cap: Round 2

The fact that Lola has blonde hair means that we can really see the scales that Lola had on her head. We had already done one treatment of baby oil on her head to get it off. It was time for round two to get the rest out. We covered the top of her head in baby oil, that was the only place the scales were left, and then waited and brushed it out. Now Lola's head is scale free!!

Mama! Look at my ducky!!!


Hanging out by the bath tub while we waited for the baby oil to soak in.

Newport Hill Climb

A few weekends ago Lola and I traveled to Newport, Indiana Hill Climb. It's an old car show where older cars try to drive up a VERY steep hill. My Uncle Jeff and my grandparents show their cars. When Lola and I got there it was pouring down rain. Luckily it stopped raining but it didn't really get nice. It was still very cold. I owe Will and Julia a lot because I talked them into driving all the way from Martinsville to hang out with me. Sadly when they got there our grandparents went back home. It was nice getting to see a very chunky Liam!!

Lola playing in my grandma's old plymouth. She loved it!!!


I tried dressing her for the occasion but I probably needed a rain slicker around the ENTIRE stroller!!!

Caffeine Fiend

Drew is in LOVE with Mountain Dew. He's addicted to it. After finishing off his bottle of Dew, Drew figured he'd see how Lola liked the bottle. She loved it and tried to drink from it. I'm glad there wasn't anything in it!!



Starry Eyes

We had given Lola a bath and Drew that this was the cutest thing he had ever seen. He said that her eyelashes being clumped together made her eyes look like little blue stars.

Lola and her baby blues!

Street Fair

Drew is from a small town in Northern Indiana and every year they have Street Fair. Tons of rides, fun games, and plenty of fair food!! I had my deep-fried cookie dough and I got to introduce it to Drew. He also loved it. It was great getting to spend time with Drew's family and walk around Bluffton.

Had to get a picture of Lola's cute outfit.


Family pic!!


This was a replica of an old electric car that ran between Bluffton and Fort Wayne.

Play dates!!

One of my good friends had her cute little girl, Adilyn, last year a few months before I had Lola. Ady is her little countdown baby. She was born 11-10-09. Courtney is amazing and has been there for me through a lot of stuff so it's great to get to share our little girls exciting times with each other. Lola and Ady love playing with each other!!

Ady and Lola chased each other around Courtney's living room. It was great!!


Our two cutie pies!!!

Play date #2

Bath-time Baby!!!

Lola loves anything having to do with the water. She loved the lake, the pool, her baby pool, and especially the bathtub. Lola loves splashing around in it and kicking her legs in it. At Drew's house Lola gets to play in the "big girl bathtub", but at Mommy's house Lola gets to play in the....SINK!!! It's perfect size for her right now and I don't have to bend over to wash her. Perfect set up if you ask me! She loves the shiny surface of the sink too! Plenty of entertainment for my little bean!






"My Hair had a Party Last Night"

So Julia, my cousin, used the name of my blog as an idea for the name of her blog, meaning she took "Kipfer" and replaced it with "Tucker". I decided to do a little borrowing of my own. (I love you Julia!!!!) Lola had her hair pinned up all day and this is how it looked when we took it down...



My little fashionista!!

Everyone seems to think that Lola needs to have on a different outfit every 20 minutes. Okay maybe not every 20 minutes, but I promise that when I leave for school in the morning I have one outfit on her and when I come home she has a totally different outfit on. My mom tends to use Lola like a little girl does a baby doll...she dresses her up ALL the time!! This is probably a good idea since Lola has more clothes than Drew and I combined!

Great-Aunt Debbie got her this cute little outfit!!!!


I love this dress!! The little red flowers are so cute!
