Carousel

We recently took a trip to the mall to ride the carousel! Eloise and Daddy rode together and Lucie and Mommy watched from the sidelines. Whenever I try to take El on the carousel she wants to ride on the bench, and acts scared of the horses. Well, lo and behold, when Daddy’s around, she must feel more adventurous because she hopped right up on a horse and had the time of her life!

Waiting in line.

Yes, it was a Tech gameday, therefore you will see lots of red and black and Double T's!

Big smile!

I'm telling you... this carousel is faster than it looks! I actually got motion sickness riding it once!

OK, this one was just too cute to not include! Eloise has mastered getting her "guns up!"

A Visit to El Paso

Last weekend my dear friend, Holly, and I flew to El Paso to see our sweet friend (and new mom), Danielle! It was so great to see Danielle in her hometown and meet her darling new daughter, Blythe Elizabeth. Blythe was 9 weeks old at our visit, and is an adorably tiny little thing weighing in at 10 Lbs! We went out to eat, shopped and most importantly had some well needed girl time! I, of course I took my camera to capture some shots of little Blythe, and our girls weekend, but the battery went dead, and silly me forgot to pack a charger! So here are the only shots I got from the WHOLE weekend. Miss Blythe Elizabeth (Whom I fondly refer to as "BE!") on her new quilt! (this one is the first baby quilt I made!)


Danielle and "BE"

Danielle, thanks for being such a great hostess. I adore your new baby and home. I can't wait till our next visit!

Lucie's 9 Month Stats!

Weight: 18 lbs. 4.5 oz (33%)
Length: 27.75 inches (48%)
Head Cir.: 18 inches (88%)

New Milestones met: Crawling on all 4’s (really fast!), pulling up, and cruising around while holding onto furniture, transferring from one piece of furniture to another while cruising, babbling “Mama and Dada” , she has 4 teeth, and beginning to eat some table food (Gerber puffs, baby mum mums and soft fruit.) using the pincher grasp

I know I have said this time and time again, but I just can’t believe how fast Lucie is growing! Before I know it she is going to be 1. I wish I could freeze time for just a moment so I could soak up as much baby Lucie as I could! The other night, she actually let me rock her to sleep and it was PURE heaven.
