Highlights

Hey sweet girl! I've been so wrapped up in enjoying you that I've quit posting. I'm sorry. I knew it would happen when I went back to work. :(

You got your first walker last weekend and you LOVE it!! 

On the 11th you threw up IN my mouth! It was not our best moment. I was holding you up above my head and making faces at you at Nonnies house and you just threw up! I has to wash my mouth out and change my clothes. 

Yesterday was your first time sitting in a high chair and you looked like such a BIG girl! It made me want to cry!! 

You had your first sleepover a few weeks ago (last weekend in August) with Nonnie and Papa while Mommy and daddy went to see the tigers play. I cried like a baby when it was time to leave you and I cried in the car on the way to Elloree. I knew you would be safe and have fun but my heart broke being away from you. That Sunday you peed on papas bed. Little does he know, I don't think that will be the last time. :) 

You got your first cold this week and it makes me sad. I wish I could take the coughing and snotty nose and aches away from you! 

Well I'm off to bed. I love you as much as the sky is big as your aunt Candi says. 

Love you!! 

Trip to Pennsylvania

Hey Lady!! 

Well, you have been a traveler lately! We went to Pennsylvania a few weeks ago on the 10th. My Gram (Great Grandma) fell and broke her hip and wasn't doing well so we took a trip to see her and our other Gram (Gram Coslo) with Mom, Aunt Susan and Granddad. You were the BEST girl ever! You didn't cry the whole 12 hours we were in the car. Can you believe it?! I was sooooo proud of you! You didn't cry the whole way back either. You just made faces and napped and were a happy baby. 

We had a busy trip. We got there Monday really late and then we were really busy on Tuesday and left Wednesday morning. I took lots of pictures (of course):

 

The first picture is our car ride and the second is the next morning. you were ADORABLE.

We went to see Gram Clark first at Foxdale. She was 97 years old and still had her humor in her, she was an amazing lady. 

 

Then, we went over to Bellefonte which is where Gram Coslo used to live. I used to go there every summer on vacation and it's a beautiful town. We went to the park and took a picture by the train station. One day we will go back there so you can ride the train! You'll love it. I did it when I was a kid!

After that we went to Altoona to see Gram Coslo. She is 87 years old and has Alzheimer's. She is one of the best people I have ever known. So loving and funny and caring. We had a really special relationship when we used to visit her every summer. Mom introduced you to her and I got to take a picture of it. It's an awesome picture. 

Aunt Judy was with us (that's Nonnie's Aunt) and she got to hold you and spend time with you. Then we met her daughter Rachel for lunch at Olive Garden and she held you too but then you got hungry so you got cranky. :)

 

Before we left the next day we went and drove through Penn State's campus. We tried to get a picture with their lion statue but it was under construction so we took a picture at a sign. We will definitely go back there too when you're older!!

Here are some photos from our trip home. I was so proud of you and so happy I could experience that with you and that you could meet your Great GREAT grandmothers! Not many people can say that they've done that. You are one blessed girl. 

 

This is you the next morning, you were TIRED!

I loveeeeeee you!!

Your first Trip to Ringgold

Hey beautiful girl! Well this past week we took your first trip to Ringgold, GA to see your family. It was a great trip! We left on Wednesday night and you slept the whole way. We got to Aunt Judy and Uncle Shannon's at about 4am and we took a nap before going to visit a lot of your family for the next few days. 

On Thursday we went to see Aunt Candi at the court house and she just loved you a lot. Then we went to visit with Ms Jordan. 

 

Because we visited around Memorial Day, Ringgold had flags out for all the men who died during wars. Your Granddaddy (your Dad's grandpa) has a flag so you and your Dad posed for a picture beside it. 

We stopped by to see your cousin Kyle at work at Ace Hardware and then headed over to see Granddaddy and Gail (Gigi). They couldn't believe how small you are. They loved you so much. 

 

We had a great, long visit with Granddaddy.

On Friday we went to lunch with Pat and Jill and your Memaw. 

 

After that we went to your Aunt Rhonda's for dinner with a bunch of the family. They passed you around and held you and spent time with you the whole night.

Saturday was your cousin Savannah's graduation so we went to that and it was HOT but you did so well and looked so pretty. I was so worried about you that I got sunburned! haha

At Savannah's Graduation

We went to some flea markets and bought you some really adorable headbands!

Daddy took us to see your Granny and PawPaws grave and you guys took a picture next to it.

Later that night we went to dinner with the family to celebrate and there was more passing you around and loving you!

Family photo before we left

We had such a great time even though it was a short trip. We will be going back more because we want you to know your family really well and have you grow up loving them just like they love you. 

Today we had your 2 month check up. You had to get three shots. It made me sad because you cried but you were such a big, brave girl. You have been sleeping ever since, I'm sure it was traumatizing for my sweet girl. You are 8lbs, 6 oz now and 22 inches long. You're so big now!

I love you so much! I can see you growing in front of my eyes and it makes me so happy and so sad at the same time! 

Mother's Day!

Yesterday was Mother's Day and it was awesome! 

Daddy let me sleep in and then we had lunch and I got to open my presents from you guys. You got me a gift card to a massage place and a beautiful mother/daughter necklace. 

Then we had dinner with Memaw and big daddy and went to the beach where mommy and daddy got married and took pictures. I'll cherish these forever! 

Today you went to the dr and we went for a walk. I got this adorable picture of you in the car. 

We went to dinner with Noni, papa, aunt Brittany and Cody on Saturday. 

Remember that I love you, always and forever!!
