Merry Christmas

We recently had our family photos done for our holiday Christmas cards. It was a chilly day, but we managed to get through it! Macey was not too happy with us; Poor babe was cold.
Here are some shots Ms. Tena took.

6 months!

My little baby just turned 6 months on the 30th! We soon followed up her 1/2 b-day with a visit to the doctor for her check-up and shots :(
She's 16 lbs still and is in the 75% for her height. I'm a bad mom because I can't remember how long she was; I do know that she has some long legs though.

That night, her daddy and I fed her GREEN BEANS for the first time! She seemed to enjoy them, but lately, she's been gagging. Who knows! Today, we're trying carrots, soon followed by sweet potatoes!

The pics attached are kind of random. They mostly involve her car seat though! I got some shots of her in her new Yoga pose (as Ashley would say,)on the floor in our living room, watching Handy Manny w/ a little bit of Espanol, hanging out in her car seat with her new pink tobaggon, (we sit in the back seat together; it's our hang out spot,)trying a sippee cup, waiting at the doctor, before/after we got our shots, and our favorite...Our first Christmas tree w/baby!
More decor pics coming soon!

On another note, I'm about to start, "Twilight." I can't wait! I have girls in my classes who are now re-reading it for the 3rd time. UNBELIEVABLE!

Have a great weekend and enjoy a good vampire story~

On all fours, Bath, & Thanksgiving

I begin this blog by giving thanks to God who has surrounded me with such special people. I'm amazed that I'm able to share our God given creation, with my husband Derrick, and all of our families and friends. I'm thankful to be alive and I'm gracious that God has given me this day to continue on with those I love.

Over the week, Macey got a new toy! Little girl loves to be in on the action, so, laying down and playing with toys isn't too much fun lately. She loves to be up and around a familiar face to look at.

My big girl is trying soo hard to crawl! I was able to get some pics of her on, "All Fours." I love it.

She also got a big girl bath. I love washing her little delicate body.

I attached some pics of chubby in our bed. I love to put her in bed with us when she wakes up in the morning. There's nothing like snuggling up to that sweet breath and soft skin.

Lastly, here are pics from Thanksgiving at my mom's. Cam and Macey both sported their turkey shirts! Ashley made Macey's, and I made the pants. They were both little dolls, all dolled up.
My eyes are nearly closed in the first pic of me and Mace. BUT, look at her smile! She looks so grown; momma's girl.

Mr. D had to work; I'm sad when he misses holidays, but he knows we love him very much, and I know he misses us as well.

I hope everyone had a safe, and fun holiday. NOW, bring on Christmas!
