Catch up...

The previous post was done in July and posted today- go figure. I've been MIA from the blogging world for a while. Maybe it's because I'm working, taking care of my family and going to grad school. Wowza! It's been crazy..lots of crying, sleepless nights and more crying. 

Anyway, I thought I would do a phone dump of pictures of Jaylie. 

This is on her birthday! We played outside all day that it wasn't raining. 

I had to keep the gate around the tv for a while because she kept touching everything. I moved it and she still touches everything but I give up...

Jaylie loves the pool for about 15 minutes at a time and then she wants out. But she loves her some uncle Josh. 

Look at that hair! Yes, I'm that mom that does funny stuff with the child's hair and then takes pictures. 

Oh this picture!! Let me tell you what happened. We were all swimming at my house and Jaylie got tired so she took her in the house. About 10 minutes later, Scruff runs outside, as if he is telling me to come, and I hear screaming..from Jaylie and Ganmama. I run in to see and Jaylie fell in my room and cut the inside of her mouth on the bed. Blood is everywhere and it looked so bad. So of course, I run her to CARES where nothing is done about it....but she was fine after 3 hours.

First day of daycare!! 

I prop her stroller up like this when we are eating somewhere and she falls asleep. 

She always sits with her legs crossed!!

She came to school to do some work with me. Before we all know it, she will be sitting in that desk. That makes me shed a tear...

At Elynns birthday party, Jaylie and Addie liked hanging with the dogs or helping fill up the tank.....

She loves wearing glasses. We took the lens out of some old reading glasses and she looks so cute in them.

Loves riding on anything with her daddy. 

Y'all.. Where did my baby go? When I first saw this picture- I did a double take because she looks so growny. 

Well, I'm not making any promises that I cannot keep so I'm might  be back on here before Christmas or maybe next year! 

Beach Trip

We went to the beach with our friends- J- Mac and KL. we had a great time and keeping the babies contained wasn't as hard as we thought. 

Seersucker is too much...so cute!

She was scared of the ocean the first 2 days on the beach. She wanted no part of it. 

The beach wore them out the first day. But we paid for it that night when it was 11 before they went to sleep.

She would steal your chair when you weren't looking. 

Waiting to eat at Boondocks

Selfie with my girl...

She would take the best naps on the beach. It would start of like this and before long....

It was this. 

They slept for almost 2 1/2 hours. 

Curly Sue- her hair curls when it is wet. It is sweet. 

This is her Ace Ventura look. It sticks out like that. But check out her Pineapple willy shirt. I think it is so cute.

More beach pictures to come! 

It's a start

I ran my first 5K today. I am very proud that I went through with it and didn't give up. Now, I wasn't first or last, I just wanted to finish. I want to keep it up and run  more  and  improve my time. But it was definitely a start!!

7 months

Apparently, when you turn 7 months- things get serious!!!

Jaylie turned 7 months and then we had the surprise snow. It took me 3 hours to get to her in Lineville. Jaylie and I stayed with Mom and Dad while Jay and Joshua were stuck in Oxford. 

I got the dreaded virus on that Tuesday night. I was so so sick. I couldn't hold me head up without moaning. I wanted to go the hospital but finally by Thursday morning was better. 

Jay and Josh made it to Mom and Dads Wednesday and Thursday we got our first picture in the snow.

Look at all this blonde hair. I am in awe of how God works. I always thought I would have a brown eyed and dark haired baby; but I love love her blonde hair and bike eyes. I just stare at her. God knows what we need. Always:)

This is how we spent her first Valentines: puffs, burger quick and tv.

She loved her balloon. 

Rocking her camo bib and flower. 

6 months

This sweet girl was 6 months old on Dec. 18. She is really becoming such a funny little girl. 

On Dec. 13, Uncle Josh graduated from Troy and she did so good. She and Gandaddy took 2 naps during the ceremony- except Jaylie didn't get punched in the arm like Gandaddy. 

We went to the Birmingham zoo for the Zoolight Safari with the Bishops. 

It was kind of rainy and cold but we had a great time. 

Here we are on the train. Jaylie was not impressed; she just layed there.

Meet Bugsy. This is the first toy that Jaylie conned( spelling?) me into. She was crying in Old Navy and mother of the year here- forgot her bottle in the car. We were checking out and they have these toys so I grabbed this ladybug and Jaylie stopped crying and started laughing. 

People around were like, " Oh, she likes that. Keep it up momma." Um, they just didn't want her to cry. I tried to put it up but she screamed- so we bought it. But let me tell you, she loved on Bugsy all day after that. She loves it. 

Her hair is getting long. That long peice sticking up is what she was born with- it is from the womb. 

One night, Jaylie and her daddy slept I the recliner for a long time. 

She loved meeting Santa in Dillard's. 

Loves getting baths in the sink. We have to move everything because she grabs it.
