Latest Events ...

Mary Audrey attended the 4-H Village this year at the State Fair. She was very impressed with the cow!

Playing on the slide at Ms. Kara's house (Friends in Vicksburg we visitied while in Jackson)

Oooooooooooooo ... Ms. Kara, I love this big camera!

Thank you to the Cracker Barrel in Pearl and Dr. Randy Cotton for encouraging John to bring a stuffed possum, yes that is right, possum, home for Mary Audrey. She actually really likes it! Some of you may know that I have a childhood nightmare with a dead possum so it is not my favorite.

And BTW, thanks Aunt Kristen for the "dddaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwgggggggggg" pajamas. She loves them!

Happy Birthday to Mary Audrey

Eating Birthday Cake

Mary Audrey enjoyed her birthday cake!

It has been a while ....

I sincerely apologize for not updating my blog through the summertime. I would give you a list of excuses but I won't. I'll just say I'm sorry and move forward.

We have seen a lot of "firsts" with Mary Audrey over the last few months. I recommend that you start at the bottom of this post and move upward. That will get the pictures in time order. It is truly amazing to watch a child grow up before your eyes. John and I just love MA to death and thank God for her each and every day.

Enjoy!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Me ... playing in my grandmother's dishwasher at 9 months old.

Mary Audrey playing in my dishwasher at 8 1/2 months old.

Amanda Iles original

Since it has become consistently warm now, I decided to break out her Amanda Iles original dress. MA wore it to church this sunday and I was asked many times where I got the dress. I told them ... "she is wearing Amanda Iles." My sweet friend in LA (that I miss desperately) made the dress for her. Is it not precious. So cute ...

Wagon Ride

She is her father's child ... MA loves to be outside. But she especially loves to ride in her wagon or stroller at school. Doesn't matter which vehicle as long as she is outside.

We must wear our sun hat while we ride.

After our wagon ride, we pulled into the driveway and the wagon came apart. Geez. Thank goodness we were in the driveway. So ... we decided to play on a mat in the carpot.

Our Miss America wave. She waves bye-bye to everyone. If you are special, you get a double wave (both hands).

Is she relaxed or what?

All smiles ...

John and I are so blessed to have such a happy, smiley baby. She really is a great baby ... only gets upset when she is tired or hungry ... Just let her parents! :)
