Happy Birthday Baby!

Greer is offically 1 now.  We celebrated her birthday last Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen at our pool.  We've never seen a baby eat her cupcake so slowly and particular, no need for a bib.

Greer is crawling like a pro and pulling up on everything. Yesterday she started to climb the steps for the first time. She also is such a charmer. One of her favorite things to do is to smile and wave at anyone and everyone. It's not unusual for me to have people approach me at the grocery store or other places and act like they are old friends with her b/c apparently she's been smiling and waving at them during our whole visit. It's also fun to see her relationship with the boys, Andrew especially, they are so cute with her and love to teach her new things.

Greer's First Bows

Looking at Greer's hair it seemed like it was finally long enough to put a bow in so we tried it out and went to the store today and bought a pink and a white one.  She's kept them in and hasn't noticed that they were in her hair unless her big brother Wes decides to give her a kiss and adjusts it.  She is so full of personality it's so fun!  She dances to music by moving her head side to side and flapping her arms, she just started to crawl the past week and is now very adept at getting from point A to B very quickly.  She also is a girl who knows what she wants.  When she's handed a toy she doesn't want she immediately throws it aside, same with food.  Her big brothers are really sweet with her which is great to watch.

The Kennedy Space Centerl

Before we left town we were lucky enough also to visit NASA's Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral.  Also because the space shuttle is scheduled to launch May 31st it was already on one of the launch pads so we were especially lucky.

This is one of the last 10 missions for the shuttle as the Intl' Space station will be completed.  A new...I don't know what to call it, it's not going to be a shuttle persay..thing will be completed in April of 2009 I believe our guide said.  Hard to imagine.  This will be able to return man to the moon and beyond to Mars.  

We also enjoyed seeing the many, many alligators alongside our tour bus in the canal.  A little scary.

The Orlando Temple

We decided to stop by the Orlando temple on our way out of town, a beautiful temple.

Sea World Highlights

Sea World was a blast filled with: Feeding the dolphins, watching Shamu and eating  lunch at the Shark's Grill (ie watching the sharks swim in  which surrounded the shark's tank).

I added a few other pics for all those snarky naysayers who were commenting on Greg not being on the vacation. Ahemm, excuse me but do you happen to notice a baby on my back and the stroller in my hands thank you very much ;). Moms are rarely ever included in pictures so I happen to enjoy being part of these memories and proud of it!
