Jet-setter Ameliah to Pacific Northwest

In September, the three of us took a trip to the Pacific Northwest to visit some friends and to watch the Huskers beat Washington (yay!). We had a great time visiting our friends the Johnsons in Portland, OR, and then the Larsons in Seattle.

In Oregon we had the chance to visit a few wineries in the Willamette valley near Portland. Ameliah had fun "climbing" on the barrels.

We had a fun hike up to the Multnomah Falls. It was a pretty easy ride on daddy's back for little A.

We went to visit uncle Mark at the Starbucks a couple of mornings while we were there... nothing like taking a ride to the Bux in your jammies.

We took the train from Portland to Seattle; it was a beautiful ride. I think Ameliah was excited that she didn't have to be in the carseat.

We took a quick peek at Snoqualmie Falls near where the Larsons live.

Ameliah - 8 1/2 months

A few fun pics...

Ameliah has recently figured out how to pull herself up to standing, but hasn't mastered how to get down. This was Ameliah trying to go down for a nap...

Here she is with Aunt Coartney while we were back in Nebraska for Aunt Jenny's bridal shower... note the Husker red!

With Ameliah's new-found freedom in getting around, we finally had to get a baby gate for the top of the stairs. Here's Ameliah testing her limits.

Just bein' cute...
