Super Sunday!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this Sunday. Our church service was awesome this morning. We followed it with an impromptu lunch with friends, both old and new. Then I had my Sunday afternoon at the gym while Daddy and daughter had a play date at home. This is becoming one of my favorite times of the week. Not because I get to do something alone, but because I love how excited each of them get for their special time. AM is so in love with her daddy. She typically won't nap if she knows he is home, there is too much fun to be had I guess!

How cute is she in her new tutu?


I hope you have a wonderful week. We sure got ours off to a great start with a great weekend. I'll be making some more of these this week...

Pretty Toes, Pretty Dolls, Pretty Messy

Anne Morgan's first set of pretty toes. It wasn't very easy but it sure is cute!


One day earlier this week, Anne Morgan woke up from her nap and noticed a doll that has been on a shelf above her changing table since she was born. It's pretty high so she's never really noticed it. It happens to be my American Girl doll Samantha from when I was a little girl. She became immediately enamored with her. Here are a few pictures (as you can tell she JUST woke up)



She generally carries things around in pairs. So here she has Samantha and her favorite stuffed animal, Tyler the dog.

And just for kicks, here she is pretty messy. I think this is the messiest she has ever been!

We are looking forward to spending time together as a family. Trey was in a seminar all weekend last weekend so we feel like we haven't really seen him in a while. AM is getting VERY ( and I mean VERY) clingy to him when he's around. She does not want him to leave in the mornings. I have to pry her from him, she is definitely a Daddy's girl.

Hopefully her top teeth will make their appearance this weekend, or in the next few coming days. You can see SIX on top trying to pop through. Her gums look so incredibly painful. She's been a GREAT sport though. I just hope they come on through.

Have a great weekend!!

a FEW of her favorite things...

Anne Morgan is so fun these days. She plays with so many different things. Here are just a couple of them.

AM picked these SUNGLASSES out all on her own the other day. We had to pay for them before we were finished in the store so we could take the big bulky tag off since she wouldn't put them down!


We enjoyed a delicious dinner and CHOCOLATE CAKE the other night
And her BABY DOLLS and her new BABY STROLLER. She's so cute!

WAR EAGLE!

We are getting ready for football season around here, including the cooler weather. My sister passed along this old school Auburn cheerleading outfit for AM. It is the exact same style that she and I wore growing up!

Notice the bow in her HAND. She will NOT wear one in her hair. (She tries to put it in herself after pulling it out right when I get it on her head. Obviously she can't do the clipping so she ends up carrying it around)

And I have to be extra careful these days, she LOVES to stand in her rocking chair. Still refuses to look at the camera for me to get a good picture.
And here is a picture of her in her adirondack chair. She loves these chairs. She won't look at me though!
Still no teeth and I think her ears are still bugging her. We've gone back to the paci. It has seemed to help. Guess we'll just wait until she gets more teeth before we take it away.

Hangin' in There

The title pretty much sums things up these days. AM has done really well without the paci, it has almost been 2 weeks. She doesn't even think about it in the car, she hasn't had it for bedtime once since last Wednesday but it takes much longer to get her to bed, but she does get it for nap time. If she didn't get it she wouldn't take a nap at all. Even though I give it to her then, she still isn't napping well. There are two villains she's facing: an ear infection and teething. My goodness I feel so awful for her. She is so tired, and in so. much. pain.

The first two teeth didn't seem to be a problem at all but these top teeth are wretched.

I don't think she really misses the paci. In fact I tried to give it to her yesterday when we were coming back from Montgomery and she didn't want anything to do with it. Another time I tried she just wanted to play with it and put it in my mouth, not hers. I wasn't going to give in but she is in so much pain I thought it might help. If she will decide to take it we may just forego the attempt for a little longer.

Yesterday she didn't let me leave her in the nursery at church and this afternoon when I finally got her calmed down in the child care center at the gym a little while later they came to get me. They said she would play and be fine and then just lose it a minute later. That continued for about 45 minutes before they came to get me. Poor baby. Please pray for her. I hope that her ears feel better soon and those blasted teeth finally make their appearance.

(I've been trying to take some pictures of her but she refuses to look at the camera these days. Not only does she not look at it, she looks the opposite direction!)
