Labor Day- Destin 2010

For the 5th year in a row we headed to the beach for Labor Day! This year was a little different of course because we have our sweet Mary Clark. She LOVED the beach...

Posing with Mommy

Pajama Party with her cousins, Barnes and Pollard! Mary Clark had so much fun watching the big boys run around..

The Trotts, I LOVE this pic of their sweet family...

Daddy's Birthday!

Heath turned 33 in August and I am just now posting on it! Heath is a WONDERFUL Dad to our sweet girl... Happy Birthday Daddy... we love you!

6 Months!

6 months!!! We turned 6 months on the 25th and are loving it! We have tried sweet potatoes, bananas and apples... so far we love it ALL! At our check up we were 13lbs 13 ounces (12th % :)), 26 inches- 60th% and head was in the 40th% .. so I think it's safe to say we are petite... at least for now! We are sitting up, on our own MOST of the time..

We are a computer geek already.. LOVE our Dell keyboard..

And love hanging out with Henry more and more!

Mary Clark's First Trip to AUburn!!!

Yesterday we took Mary Clark to Auburn for the first time.. I was so excited I woke up in the middle of the night! So apologies for how awful I look..ha!

My sweet cousin Carsen went through Rush so we wanted to be there to support her. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication about the time bids were handed out so I missed getting pics of her and the new pledge class but Mom and I did get some good pics of Mary Clark at our "tribes"!

Here we are at lunch.. Carsen pledged ZTA... it was her first choice so she was thrilled! The girls in her class were super cute from what we saw and she is going to have a blast this fall getting to know them!
Melanie (my 1st cousin), Me, Mary Clark, Mom, and Carsen (I have always said Melanie looks more like my Mom than me!)

ADPi!! Maybe Mary Clark will be running through these doors one day.. we'll see!

It rained before we got there hence the crazy hair!

Mary Clark, already not paying attention in the chapter room!

War Eagle!!! she said...

Nice job on the flowers Beta Omega :)

Nana and Mary Clark...

Nana and Aunt Caitlin (not pictured) were AOPis.. Mom was thrilled to see her composite up in the chapter room.. oh the bee hives of the late 60's!
Thought their red looked really pretty..lots of fresh red roses..

Already trying to sway her.. that's DIRTY RUSHING Nana! Oh, and I let Nana get Mary Clark a silver baby bracelet that says "AOPi Legacy"... I am a very understanding Mother in my opinion!

July 2010

Well July was a busy month..

We celebrated several special birthdays!
Gigi... Heath's Grandmother and Mary Clark's Great Grandmother.. this lady is amazing with all she does! We love her SO MUCH! (that is Aunt Hillary with her, Heath's sis)
This special girl turned 30!!!! I had a great trip to the beach with Ryan, Scott and a group of their friends from Nashville. I did not take any pics! And since most of us have kids now the pics I've taken recently over the past year when we've been together have been of her precious boys.. so here's a pic from Christmas like 2 years ago. Anyway, we went to Grayton and had a wonderful time.. it was my first weekend away from Mary Clark and she did so well. Daddy too.
Some fun around the house activities I wanted to document..
We LOVE bath time.. I think she might be a swimmer.. she practically kicks the water out of the big tub from her little whale tub.. it's so cute..

We started on Oatmeal Cereal... it went.. o.k..

Well, kind of...

Maybe we need to mix in some apple sauce?

This picture cracks me up.. she doesn't really even look like herself.. but I thought it was so cute.. she and Henry are becoming best friends..

We took lots of naps...some with our twin.. Daddy

We love the Bumbo seat... and are hopefully on our way to sitting up all on our own!

We tried some pool time in the yard.. not really her favorite thing..

"Daddy, you are getting me wet"

I hate this pic is blurry but we've enjoyed our Jump n Go... for about 10 minutes MAX..

We concentrate extremely hard on the task at hand..

Nana and Pee Pie went to Highlands for the 4th and came back with something you wouldn't expect.. Mary Clark's first AU hat...:) ( I promise my child has clothes.. it's just so stinkin hot she plays in her diaper a good bit)

We took a great trip to the lake... here is Mary Clark on Friday night...

And Saturday Morning...

Helping the guys get their beer cooler ready...

Daddy being silly as usual...

Loving our float...

Reaching for the water...

And just a few days ago, we bummed the exersaucer from Nana's house and we are LOVING it!!!

So, it's been a busy month. Hopefully the next update won't take as long!

4 Months

Mary Clark was four months on the 25th. I have not been good about writing a quick little tid bit at her month birthdays but I am going to try and start!
So, we went to visit Doc Stone today and here are your marks sweet girl..
11lbs and 13 ounces -20th percentile
25 and 1/4 inches long -90th percentile
16 inch head circ.-70th percentile
You did very well with your shots.. Daddy calmed you down much faster than I did last time... and we drove straight to the store to buy OATMEAL CEREAL! We'll try some tonight!
You have been so much fun this last month: squealing and giggling constantly, grabbing everything in sight, watching your brother run around and bark at the thunder and my favorite.. you can take your passy out of my mouth and put it in yours! You have to concentrate very hard but it is ADORABLE!!! We love you little Kitty Cat!

okay, enough posts for a while.. see you in a couple weeks!
