Zoo & 8 Months

I can't believe it's January with the weather we have been having. I am the girl that never would want to live above the Mason Dixon line and certainly not want to deal with snow more than 2x a year so this mild weather has been right up my alley.

Today we went to the zoo with our friends.

Anna Caroline, Mary Stewart, Caleb & Micah

Perfect morning. It is so fun seeing Mary Stewart get excited about all the animals.

Mary Stewart & Caleb loved climbing on the lions. If you listen closely you can hear Mary Stewart "roaring"!

The elephant even showed off for us! Such gently giants!!!

In other news, this doll baby turned 8 months today!

She is almost 16 pounds! She is crawling and moving. She LOVES her sister & it is so fun to watch them interact together. Anna Caroline is finally getting over a cold and we are still waiting for that tooth to pop through. She is such a go with the flow, easy baby.

Thankful for beautiful days, good friends, and the children God has blessed me with!

Come Thou Long Expected Tooth

We are waiting and hoping for that expectant tooth. That tooth that is causing sleepless nights and our world to be rocked a little bit. However most of the time we are still our sweet little self!

We are officially on the move. Crawling on all fours & when the floor is too slippery Anna Caroline has mastered the army crawl.

Such a sweet heart, even when waiting for that tooth......

In other news we are almost 8 months old and almost 16 pounds! Such a peanut!

A Glimpse

Just a little glimpse into a Christmas Extravaganza ( I Say this because we had 4 different celebrations! Oh wait 5!) as seen from my i phone. I hope to post some sweet pictures from the good camera but here we go.......

My sweet family on Christmas morning!

This was just too cute not to share! Anna Caroline is still just so sweet.

Meredith (my sis's sister in law, Holly (my sis), Fleur (BF from high school) & me!

Don't judge, we took this picture in an attempt to showcase 4 different years of ddd pledge classes. Cheesy I know.

When we go to Baton Rouge it is such a whirlwind but this was probably one of my favorite night. So many of my closest friends from high school and college got together one night. So fun. Wish now we would have taken that group shot!!

Mary Stewart LOVES "Lizzy Goose". I think Lizzy may like her.

Sweet Anna Caroline on Christmas Morning

Mary Stewart with her manger scene from "Maw Maw Anna". She was particulary upset today when I packed up Christmas- "Where baby Jesus go Mommy?"

Ever heard of Kissing Cousins? Here you go.....Look how she just grips him.

Watch out!!

Like I said, this is but a glimpse.... but a sweet glimpse into a wonderful Christmas
