Santa's helper... moving around

Here are some video of Annalane's First Christmas at our house in Nashville. We do our Christmas before traveling south. She is getting closer to crawling everyday.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Annalane's first Christmas!

We had some family and individual photos of Annalane made on Wednesday of this past week and this is her after our photographer left (as she was getting upset and then smiled for a few photos for me). She is getting closer to crawling but not there yet (i am ok with this)...she can reach for anything and rolls all over the floor.

one day after school, wearing her santa shirt

oh, how sweet. shelton loves her sister.

This is the front view...shelton doesn't want her to move

Happy Annalane and Merry Christmas as we will have more to come...

November video

Here are some video's of annalane clapping with her phone and eating a teething biscuit. We have had a great fall and now enjoying swimming lessons at the YMCA this winter. She is still content with sitting and not crawling, but it may not be long...enjoy!

Pulling everything out...

Today I was in the back bedroom and kept hearing things move around. I walked up where Annalane was and she had not only got closer to the basket filled with books/toys but was pulling everything out of her basket. She is rolling around everywhere on the floor but not crawling yet, which i am ok with...kab

Cheekwood Botanical Gardens 2009

Sunday, November 1st we went to Cheekwood to enjoy the sunshine and nice weather. It was a great day for us to get outside and enjoy each other's company.

Playing with the leaves!

It's official, fall is here and we get the most leaves. It is amazing how fast they change in color.

all smiles

Annalane is 7 months and time sure is flying by. She is doing so many different things daily. She loves to sit on the floor and play with her toys. Books are also a favorite thing to hold. Right now it is hard to read to her because she wants to grab the book from you and put the pages in her mouth. She is definitely cutting some teeth as I mentioned before, she has two coming in at the bottom. We all are in good health and hope to continue that way. Michael has slowed down some with work so we look forward to spending time with each other. Annalane is still not interested in crawling, which I am fine with. She never liked to be on her stomach much but we do tummy time everyday to encourage it.

Bama Saturdays!

Two weekends ago, Oct 17th Annalane and I drove to Birmingham for the weekend and I kept Parker and Annalane while the other's went to the Bama vs South Carolina game. Then we went home to Ozark for a week as we saw a lot of family. It was good to see everyone, as we had a great time but were glad to be back home. Annalane actually started smiling and laughing when she walked into her room. She was also glad to see shelton.

playing with each other

Parker was showing Annalane how this toy worked and at one time he had placed his arm around her back for support. He is so gentle to her.

Bama vs Tennessee game! Oct 24th

I went to the game and Kelli stayed home with the kids.

Now we have a football player and a cheerleader...Roll Tide Roll!

These were taken Monday after our doctor's appt- 6 month check up

Annalane had another round of shots, she measured in 50-75 % with all the measurements;

Shelton likes the blankets on the floor (at times) and thinks that they are for her, go figure...

Meeting friend's this week!
