Christmas is oh so near!

We have had a very busy and exciting weekend! We did some Christmas shopping on Saturday morning and then went to see Santa (Uncle Marty). She was so cute. It took alittle while for her to warm up to him but then she was fine. We are so proud of her she did so good and we took some great pictures. She is growing and changing so fast, I can't believe she will be 1 year old in less than a month. She has four teeth on top, two in on the bottom and one more coming in on the bottom. She is going through alot but I always keep some anbesol on hand. We put in her big girl seat in the car this weekend, it is still rear facing but only for another month and then I think she may like riding in the car more, especially when she can see mommy. We are so excited to start our Christmas traditions this year and know that there are alot to come. She is such a wonderful baby and we thank God for her everyday. Here is her best shot with Santa!

Next is Christmas!

No, I'm not skipping over Thanksgiving, but Christmas is my FAVORITE time of year so I have officially gotten in the Christmas state of mind. Can't wait for the music to play on the radio everyday and get the house decorated and with this being Eva's first Christmas it is so extra special!! One last pick of Eva from October- What a cutie patootie!!!

Trunk-or-Treat

We had such a fun time Saturday night at church. Eva was a little lamb and she was sooooo super cute!! We did have to take the costume off once inside because she was so hot in it. Later she had some cotton candy and LOVED it. We had her pictures made and I can't wait to get them back. We are looking forward to the coming weeks with Thanksgiving, Charleston, Christmas and not to forget her first birthday! We have so much to look forward to. But now we are enjoying the cooler weather and trying to relish all the wonderfull things that Eva does every day. She is such a blessing. ;-)

9 Months!

Eva had her 9 month appt. yesterday and she did great. She weighs 17 lbs and is completely healthy. She is such an amazing baby. She is standing up all the time now (especially in her crib) and crawling all over the place. She loves to eat oatmeal and anything else you are eating. We just love her to pieces and can't believe she is already 9 months old. ;-)

Hey! Watch our little crawler in action!!

Slow but steady as Mimi says.

8 Months!

I can't believe how much Eva has developed in the last couple of weeks! She has two bottom teeth coming in, has become a full time crawler and waves and says hey and bye bye just to name a few. She is such a joy to play with and loves to be outside. She loves Jack and Bear and always laughs at them and pulls on there ears. Jeremy and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful and healthy baby we can't imagine life without her. Here is a cute pic from our recent beach trip!;-)

Eva's 6 month pictures

We had these made about a week and a half ago and Eva did GREAT!

6 months! How time flies!

How what a true statement, we can't believe Eva is already 6 months old. We have been so busy lately. July 4th weekend at a concert in the park and fun on the lake. She had her first haircut. Last week we had our first family pictures taken and her 6mo. pics and they turned out wonderful! Can't wait to get them for everyone to see. We had a visit from Meemaw Brown and Aunt Shawn and had such a great time! It is so nice to spend time with family, wish we got to see them more often. Eva had her 6 month appointment yesterday and she weighs 15 lbs and is 25 inches long and is PERFECT! The doctor said everything looked GREAT! What more could we ask for. Every moment with her is special and we are so blessed to have her and to share her with everyone. We are very thankful for her sweet nature and how she brings so much happiness to our family. We have posted some new pics!

Make Sure You Have Your Sound On!

Life is Sweet

It's such a blessing to have a baby. Of course she has her moments (she gets that from me!) but she is such a happy natured baby. One of my favorite parts of our time together is rocking her at night and singing to her, she always looks up at me and smiles (usually with her passy in her mouth) and I don't want to put her down! We gave her baby food prunes for the first time this week hoping that will help her system. Technically the Dr. doesn't want her to have food until the week before her 6 week appt. (b/c she doesn't drink enough milk daily)but as my mom says "sometimes you have to take things into your own hands." She loves it! She is going to be such a good eater just like her mommy and daddy (well hopefully not as picky as daddy). So, so far so good. ;-)
