Look, Mama!

I really need to watch the girls more closely... even if I only hear laughter.
Addie Lane was so proud of herself and couldn't understand why the stroller wasn't a perfect fit for Lucy. But before I took Lucy out of the baby doll stroller, I had to get a picture.

Lucy loves to make messes. She is all over the place now... her favorite place is the bathroom. Playing in the toilet water and eating toilet paper are her favorite pastimes. GROSS!

Fun at Gena's house

Addie loves taking pictures... she's getting better!

around the house

Addie loves to look at her books these days. I watched as she "read" the entire stack of books to her right. She's growing up fast!

Looking good

Happy Halloween

Cute girls!! Lucy the ladybug, Addie Lane the bumblebee and Miller the chick

Miller liked Lucy's antenna
Pop and Addie Lane LOVE jumping on the trampoline
grandma snuggles with Lulu
Daddy loves his girls
The Fall Festival at our Church... Addie Lane LOVED the bouncy house and the BIG slide.
in mid-slide... can you tell that her legs are almost above her head.

Pajama Time

Lucy is 9 months old!

What a smiley baby!
That is the comment that I get everywhere I go. Lucy has always been such a sweet and smiley baby. She loves her big sister and wants to be around her all the time. Addie Lane is really sweet and will share most things with Lucy, but her books (especially her Curious George book) are off limits. Addie will try to distract her with other toys, but Lucy just wants whatever Addie Lane has.... so cute!
Not only is Lucy crawling all over the place, but she's pulling up and has even started cruising too. She's often saying ma ma ma and ba ba ba. And she loves to clap when we clap.
I love my precious girl!
Here are her 9 month stats:
16.12 lbs 20%
27 in. 37%
45cm 83%



Addie Lane went with us to the appointment. She's old enough to associate the doctor's office with shots, so she was a little on edge until they handed her a sucker and then she was all smiles.

My Big Backyard

The Memphis Botanic Garden just opened the coolest children's garden ever! We took a picnic lunch and played. It was hard to tear Addie Lane away from all the fun, but I assured her that we'd go back soon.

pumpkins and swings

Aunt Jo was here for a long weekend- unfortunately not enough pictures were taken. We had lots of fun and loved having her here, as always.

Great Grands

I am one of 14 grandchildren on my Mom's side. So far there are 9 great-grandchildren with another on the way. Here's a couple pictures of 4 of the 6 girls: Kendall, Addie Lane, Lucy, and Alia.
