Valentine's Day Pictures




We tried to pose you for some Valentine's Day pictures and this is the best we got out of like 100. Everytime we try to pose you, you get angry! The little Valentine's bear is from Great Aunt JoAnne.

Love or Hate for the Bumbo

This is me in my Bumbo chair. Technically, I am suppose to be able to support my own head when sitting in this chair. Which I can't do for long periods of time yet. At first I held my head up really well but after about 30 seconds, I realized this was a lot of work and started screaming. My lip rolls out like my Great Aunt Bettye's and then I started crying. It is very pathetic.

My First Snow



Last Wednesday, my Grammy came up to spend the night because she was suppose to take care of me when I got my first shots. However, it snowed that night. So the next morning, mom, dad and Grammy stayed home with me. My appointment at the pediatrician got cancelled due to inclement weather. Now Grammy has to come back this week. This is my dad after he played in the snow with Bella with me and Mom. I didn't like the snow falling in my face. I got all bundled up just to run out the front door and take these pictures. Grammy thinks that mom and dad are crazy and I should live with her!!!

My Favorite Toy


My second cousin, Weston, bought me this cool Elmo thing for Christmas!!! I love it. It lights up and Elmo goes back and forth. I love to track Elmo with my eyes going back and forth. I talk and smile at this toy all time. I can play with it in my chair and laying on the floor. Thanks Weston, I can't wait to play with you.

My First Trip to HairClub



Last Tuesday night, was my first trip to HairClub. Mom, Jamie, Maebrie and I loaded up and went to Fayetteville. Mom introduced to me to Krissy and Baby Ian(who is actually like 16). Mom had something stinky put on her head and when I woke up, her hair was a different color!! We love Krissy and can't wait for her to cut my hair too!!!

In Memory of Poppy



For those of you who may not know, my dad and Addie's Poppy passed away last Sunday. We are so very grateful for the short time that she had with him. Dad had been sick for four and half years with cancer. He was a trooper and fought so hard for all of us. We kept giving him milestones to fight toward and the last one was Addie's birth. After her delivery, he seemed to just get worse.

After speaking with one of friends who lost her grandfather at a young age, she told me that her and her sister had heard so many stories of her grandfather that it was like they knew him. They also missed him so much and had barely known him. These are the kind of feelings that I hope to instill in Addie about Dad.

My cousin Tammy made this slide show about Dad and I stole it from her myspace.

6 weeks old on January 7th





We took these pictures the weekend before we went back to work. Addie turned 6 weeks old. She is starting to smile and coo at us. The first two pictures are of her naked with a bow head. The third picture is of her in her crocheted bonnet, sweater and booties from the Boatrights. She looks a little ticked off. The last picture is of her in her outfit from Aunt April. We were trying to catch a smile but she had just started smiling and they were lasting very long!!
