Milestone and Baptism

2009-07-26T20:35:28Z

Today LAS rolled over from the back to the front! She did several times. I guess we better get ready because she is going to be on the move before we know it. I am so glad Phillip was home from work and we both got to see it happen. It was a great moment. This afternoon we went to Anderson's baptism and reception. It was wonderful. Margaret did a great job and Anderson was perfect. It also was a great chance to get LAS all dressed up. We had such a good time. Thanks for the invitation.

Come Back Already!

2009-07-26T20:30:28Z

This weekend our great friends, Andrea and Scott, flew in to see us from Charleston. One, that was soooo nice; two, it wasn't long enough. We had a great time. Phillip and Scott played some golf and Andrea and I just hung out and caught up. We really miss them. The great thing is that we can always just pick up right where we left off. That is how you know they are great friends. LAS loved them and Barkley and Brooke did too. Barkley and Scott have always had a special friendship and to say Barkley was sad when he left is an understatement. Come back soon!!! Once again I didn't take enough pictures.

Stayed Put

Today we actually did not leave the house. It was a good thing beacuse LAS did not want to take a nap. I think that I have just come to terms with the fact that she is not a consistant napper. She is sleeping through the night though. We are doing it almost everyday now. I guess you get some good with the bad. She has found that she can hold her toes and does it all day. She loves it. I think that rolling over from back to front is not far off. She really can do it if she wanted.Our complex had a pool party tonight. It was packed. The band was great and I won an emergency kit for my car in the drawing. LAS is doing better with the cereal. She seemed to kind of figure it out a little better tonight. I don't think that she liked the taste, but she didn't mind trying something new. I think she is a bit of a dare devil.

Applique Fun

2009-07-22T20:35:08Z

Today I went to Stroller Aerobics again. I am going to really try to be faithful and get in shape. It also fun to socialize. After that LAS and I came home and she played and napped. I made some cute outfits for her. I got these great appliques from JoAnn's and these plain white outfits from Dharma Trading. (While I was in JoAnn's I registered to win an $8000 sewing machine. Keep your fingers crossed.) Together I think they make for some pretty cute clothes. The only problem is that I ordered much bigger sizes thinking that she had enough already for her current size. They turned out so cute I want to make more! Easy and cheap project.

Girl's Night

2009-07-22T12:57:55Z

I just started stroller aerobics and they invited me to their girl's night at the Melting Pot. It was a lot of fun. I have met some really nice people here. It was really great to get out by myself for once. This is a cute outfit that my mom got LAS. The shoes are hillarious. Oh, we went to Mommy and Me class this morning and learned some baby CPR and weighed LAS. She is 13 lbs 14 oz.

Just the Girls

2009-07-22T13:03:59Z

We went to church this morning and LAS stayed in the nursery. She did great. There is no way we could have taken her into church, she would have talked the entire time. After church Phillip went into work and took Barkley. He said the played around on the job site and Barkley slept most of the time while he worked. That just left us girls at home. We did some playing on our mat and Brooke slept most of the time. She is the sleepiest dog I know. That night we went over to our friend's from Sunday School's house and had fish. They had caught it the day before. It was awesome. Another weekend down! They go too fast.

Eating with a Spoon is Fun, I promise

2009-07-18T20:18:35Z

Well, the doctor gave the go ahead for LAS to try to eat some rice cereal. She gets to practice eating with a spoon. I thought that she might like it at first, but that was not the case. She screamed! We will keep trying. I also started going to stroller aerobics. We meet in the park and all of the excercises use the stroller in some way. We also sing to the babies as we are excercising, not easy. I met my friend Rachel there. She had been before, so she kind of let me know what to expect. It was hard, but fun. I will be there next time. LAS cried almost the whole time. I think she felt bad for me sweating and working hard!

Zoo Day

2009-07-16T13:52:35Z

Ok, so she might be too young for the zoo, but I think she liked it. She really liked looking at the goats because they thought she had food for them. She started crying when the monkeys would not stop screetching. It was funny. We had a great time and she did really well. LAS loves to roll in her umbrella stroller, because she can see everything that is happening. I like to think that she had a blast. We will go again. The Zoo in Gulf Breeze is really great. They have so much to see.

Stats--- Almost 25 inches long-75% 13 lbs 10 oz -50% Head - 50% Officially LAS can start a little bit of rice cereal. We will see how that goes. She had a great check up and is perfect. I can't believe she is that old!! Also, our friends came over for dinner last and Anderson and LAS played on the floor. They were very interested in eachother. We had a great time. I forgot to put up a picture of LAS playing with her friend Merritt the other day. He is just over two months.
