HO, HO, HO!

Lola & Santa (someone needs to tell me where the cheap, dollar store Santa is. We went to Green Hills Mall out of convenience and spent $14.99 + tax for one photo). It’s awfully cute though!

Your It!

I have been doubled tagged (Tracy, Casey). I am supposed to pick my 4th picture from my 4th folder and explain, then tag 4 more people. So here goes! This is a photo of Lola when she was about 5-6 weeks old. It was after her first trip to church. I so wanted a sweet little picture in her dress, well this is what I got. I tag Joni, Lori, Angie & Chris Anne.

O Christmas Tree & More

We have had our tree up for a week or so now. I thought Lola would be more fascinated with the lights, but she goes straight for the bows on the presents! Here are a few photos of her helping decorate the tree.

Really?

Lola is still loosing so much hair. Every morning when I get her out of her crib, there is a big pile of hair left on the sheet! When will it stop falling out?

Thanksgiving

We had a super Thanksgiving holiday, filled with family and food. We were in Nashville for Thanksgiving Day, and then headed to Atlanta on Friday for the weekend (after I woke up Friday morning at 4 am to go shopping). Lola enjoyed her first helping of sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving Day, we could not feed her fast enough.

Sweet Cousin Beau

We have so much to be thankful for this year, God has so richly blessed our family. I am especially thankful for Wanda. Wanda was Andrew’s grandfather’s wife and she passed away last Friday. She was such a kind and caring person that had a special place in her heart for the disabled. I always loved the fact that Wanda was never afraid to get her hands dirty. She was always working around the house or on the farm. I am so happy she was able to spend a little time with Lola. She will be greatly missed.

5 Months Old & First Shopping Trip

Our big girl is 5 months today! Judging from the above photo, I think she was surprised about how quickly the time has gone by. She is still a sweet and generally happy baby. She is sleeping well again at night, but really fighting those naps. She would sleep for hours if we held her, but the crib is for napping so Mama can get something done. She has been really sweet at bath/bed time, giving big smiles and kisses. She opens her mouth wide when excited and has started sticking out her tongue.

Crazy Hair

This past weekend we went on a girls shopping trip to Birmingham (my Mom, Grandmother, Kristen, Cousins Kim & Wendy, Lola & I). To say the least, I think we have a shopper on our hands. We were at the mall all day on Saturday and the only time I took Lola out of the stroller was to eat or change her diaper.

My grandmother made us all matching aprons, she made Lola a little apron too.

Sweet Mess

Lola is my little sweet mess, with messy hair. I think she does something new everyday, it’s amazing. Last week I was able to have a girls night with some friends from college, we had so much fun at dinner. Kate, Rebecca, Chris Anne & I got together for a play date on Friday. The kids had a great time, below are a few photos.



This is the only photo of Kate's little Sam (far right) I got all day!

Campbell, Lola, Andrew & Ella Grace

Campbell was so good at holding Lola

This week we were able to go to Colton’s house to play. It’s fun because they are so close in age. Here they are flapping away!



Below is a video of Lola trying to sit up...

And the Giggle box video, she laughed tons this week!
