We may have a prisspot on our hands

Yesterday, we got to spend the afternoon with Grandad, Gigi and the girls. When we went outside to watch Aunt Sarah and Mae Beth twirl, we tried to put Anna Kate down in the grass...she would NOT touch it, and almost fell over trying to quickly retract all limbs that might be in danger of touching the stuff! She did love watching the girls twirl....she even tried to pick up a baton at one point, but alas, she only wanted to eat it! :) :) Here are a few pics!

Give me that baton!!!


My favorite


YAY!!!


Don't put me in that grass!


I DO NOT LIKE THE GRASS, I told you!

Long Time No Blog

I guess maybe having my hair "did" made my blogging ability disappear! We have been kinda busy lately, and, honestly, I haven't taken many pictures at all. Anna Kate is growing and changing so much. She is starting to have that toddler look now. I see newborns, and it makes me so sad, because she is definitely not a teensy baby anymore. She is laughing ALL the time, still growling occasionally, and avoiding walking at all costs. I'm convinced that she could if she got the urge, but she just prefers crawling right now. She is SO fast. I guess she feels like walking might slow her up a bit. I am already starting to think about her 1st birthday party, believe it or not. It is impossible to believe that it's that time. People say it all the time, but it really does fly by. We are trying so hard to savor the moments we have with her.

On another front, we put our condo on the market yesterday, and we are THRILLED at the prospect of moving to a house. We would certainly appreciate it if you would pray with us as we seek the Lord's will in this. So...if you know anyone in the market for a condo in the Western Ave area, let us (or Fran) know! :)

Here are a few pics!

Helping Grandaddy work on making the condo look great!


Hanging out at the Olive Garden...she LOVES bread! I'm afraid this may be inherited


If you can't see how much Anna Kate loves her daddy from these pics, I don't know what to tell you!

Mama got her hair did!!!

Alright girls, let me know what you think...if you think it's terrible, lie! :) Just kidding! I just decided it was time to do something different, and it felt good to have a break today! Thanks, Mom, for watching Anna Kate!

9 Month Checkup!

Hey everyone!
On Friday of last week, Anna Kate had her 9 month checkup (a little late, thanks to mama!) and we got a great report! Apparently, Anna Kate is one healthy baby! She weighed in at a little over 21 lbs, which put her in the 80th percentile, while her height at almost 29 inches, put her in the ninety-something percentile, so she's not heavy for her height! Her head is huge at almost 29 3/4 cm, so hopefully she'll be smarter than her mama, especially when it comes to math! :) Her hemoglobin, which I think measures the iron in her blood was 14, which, the doctor said, is on par for a teenage boy...EEK! So, obviously, we're not anemic! God has been so good to keep her healthy and well, especially this winter. We are thankful to him for her progress and growth and will pray that it continues! For those of you that are familiar with it, the nurses thought Anna Kate's growl was HILARIOUS! They just kept coming into the room and laughing...I, of course, was mortified. They saw that she is a happy baby, though, despite the growling. :)

We spent Sunday traveling, and were able to go to Gallatin to hear Tyler's grandaddy preach. What a treat! He is such a precious man of God, and we were so proud of him. He spoke on sexual purity with such fervor and conviction. Afterwards, we got to see Tyler's grandparents' new condo. It is so pretty, and we were thrilled to have Tyler's grandmother's awesome homemade rolls with our home-cooked lunch! Today, I got caught out in what I'd call a blizzard. I decided to take the back way home...NOT SMART, and if it weren't for the prudent advice of my daddy, I'd probably still be stranded in some ditch between here and Kroger! I went out early this morning to have the oil changed in my car, so mom came and had breakfast with me, then brought Anna Kate home so that I could get some shopping done! Thanks Granna!

Here are a few pictures:

Us with Tyler's grandparents...Tyler's grandmother says "A well dressed baby is a barefoot baby" Hence, Anna Kate's bare feet! :)


Pulling up on Grandaddy and Gigi's cabinets in the kitchen. She kept hitting them like, "Hey! Let me in!"


Anna Kate & Daddy in the snow today!


The funniest picture to date...This made me laugh out loud!


Anna Kate is pulling up on EVERYTHING!


One of my new favorites!


See...she really is happy...I have NO idea why she growls...


Cute, huh?


Storytime with Mama


I think this is sweet. We are beginning to have a TIME getting Anna Kate to look at the camera!

Snow Day

Well, we certainly enjoyed the teensy bit of snow we got yesterday. If it's going to be this cold, then I don't mind a bit of the white stuff! :) I do wish it had been enough to snow us in for the day...We took Anna Kate out in it for a little bit, and she just seemed annoyed and COLD! (She is her mama's girl...definitely a warm weather girl!) I did put her little snowsuit on over her sleeper, so she was probably feeling a little constricted! Here are a few pictures!

Daddy had a big shindig at work Monday for which he had to wear a suit, so we had to get a picture of that! He looked so handsome!


Mama: "See the snow, Anna Kate?"


Anna Kate: "What's the big deal? It's COLD out here! Seriously!"


Awww...LOVE the bunny ears on the snowsuit


What IS that stuff???


Uncle Ben and Aunt Lacy were in town this weekend, and Uncle Ben actually fed Anna Kate a couple of times!


See...she is NOT a fan of heavy coats and all this cold weather!

January, I'm not a fan...

Hey y'all! Sorry it's been awhile since I last posted. I have to tell you, with the FRIGID temperatures, we haven't been venturing out much. It's just too dang cold! Plus, we've all (well, maybe just me...) had a bit of the January blues. Tyler's convinced that someday if we could have a sunroom, it would fix all this seasonal affective disorder aka NOT ENOUGH SUNLIGHT!! :) Monday, Anna Kate and I did get to go to lunch with some dear girlfriends, well, we did get to see precious Drew, too! It was good to catch up and just sit and chat for a while. Drew was pretty much terrified of Anna Kate's scary baby growl (which some of you are familiar with), and I have to say, I'm not a fan, either, Drew, but it was so funny to see them start to interact a bit more. In other news, Anna Kate's started clapping and shaking her head...not necessarily at the same time, but both are extremely funny, and we're just having fun watching her grow and explore new things! Here are a few pictures!

Hey Drew!


Drew: "HELP!!!"
Anna Kate: "...Can't get chair to move..."


I was so excited to get a picture of both of them looking at the camera!


I thought this one was TOO funny...she's certainly got a hard life, huh?


Again, HILARIOUS!!!


For Christmas, my cousin Danielle and her family sent Anna Kate this adorable singing storybook. It has all sorts of nursery rhymes and little songs, and as you can see, she LOVES it!




Two things, I have to apologize for my singing, but it made her shake her head, so it made it on the blog...Casey, you have to watch it til the end. The video I took of Anna Kate and Drew at lunch is pretty funny!

Another new Montage!

Hey guys...it seems that I don't get on onetruemedia.com often enough, but when I do, I get a lot accomplished! Here's the montage for the Fall, including Halloween and Thanksgiving. There are some really funny videos in here, even if all you bloggers have seen all the photos, before! :)
