Silly Girl!

 

 

Katelyn always makes some silly faces, but today she was in her pack n' play & was acting really silly. I couldn't catch my breath I was laughing so hard at her, & I had to share the pictures.

Practice, Practice, Practice







Thursday night I met my friend Kristy at Dana's house to take pictures of Braelyn. I have been wanting to learn how to do some studio pictures & Kristy offered to help me. We took so many pictures & I had such a good time & a great learning experience. I owe it to Kristy for all of these pictures turning out so good! If it wasn't for her I would even have these pictures & the would have been set up so cute. Katelyn got a few of her snap shots in too for her 6 month pictures. Thank you to Kristy & Dana & Braelyn for helping me get the experience I need in my picture taking, I still have a long way to go & need a lot more practice!

Just a reminder, voting ends tomorrow July 16th. Go to www.cbs42.com/contests
THANK YOU so much to everyone who has voted for her, I have had so many people tell me they have & I appreciate everyone taking the time to do it!! Maybe she will have a chance.

What a Suprise!

 

 

 


We have been planning this for weeks! Tammy's birthday isn't until the 29th of this month but we decided to throw her a suprise 30th birthday party this past weekend. We did it Saturday because we knew she wouldn't suspect anything & we were right. She was so suprised & had no idea what we had been up to for the last month. Anyone who knows Tammy knows you can't pull one over on her, but we did. Happy early birthday Tammy, we love you very much & are glad you had a great party!

6 months

 

 
Posted by Picasa

I can't believe it!! My baby is getting so big, so fast. We were playing around this afternoon when I took these pictures. Her head is finally big enough for the bow & the necklace she had on is a gift from a friend at work. She wanted to give this to her when she was born but decided to wait for her "6 month birthday" It is an Add A Pearl necklace. It is so cute and dainty, I plan on adding a pearl every birthday & special occasions. It was a very nice gift & I had to take a picture of Katelyn wearing it for her. This child cracks me up on a daily basis, she acts so goofy most of the time with her squeals & giggles. I love her so much & she has been such a blessing to us. This has to be the best 6 months of my life & it keeps getting better!

Today was my mothers birthday & we went over to her house for cake & ice cream. Katie had the best time visiting with everyone. It was the first time she has met her great-grandparents on my mom's side & the first time everyone has seen her in a while. I think everyone wore her out, she has never been passed around so much.

Braelyn Emery Carter

 

This is my friend Dana's baby who was born July 1st. I haven't been good at blogging lately & should have put this picture on here last week, but I have been sick once again. She weighed 6 lbs. & was 19" & is sooooo precious!! I couldn't believe how little she was, & of course I was comparing her to Katie who is a big girl now. I got to change her diaper & give her a bottle & I didn't realize how much I already miss having a little baby. I am not ready for another on just yet, but I can't wait to do it all over again.

Such a Big Girl!

 

Katie is now sitting up alone, she has been doing it with support or a prop for a few weeks but it seems like over night she started doing it all by herself. She is also pushing herself up so I don't think it will be to much longer before she is crawling, she will scoot across the floor backwards now but I think she will get the hang of it before we know it.

VOTE FOR KATELYN



I sent Katelyn's picture in to CBS 42 for a contest to win her picture in a local Birmingham magazine, Portico magazine. To vote go to www.cbs42.com/contests & click on the most loveable baby icon. You can vote as many times a day as you want to & the voting ends July 16. The picture above is the one I sent in & you have to look for it on one of the pages of babies. It is never in the same place. Once you see her picture "Select" it & proceed through all of the pages, on the last page you can cast your vote for her. After you vote go to the top of the page & click "Vote" to vote for her again. Thanks to everyone that votes for her in advance, I know this voting procedure is a little time consuming.
