July 2010

 HOT HOT HOT

A day at the zoo with Carter, Courtney, Courtney, Lanier and Myself

She would not sit down and eat, ALL over the place. Courtney sent these pics to me.  SO SWEET

Momma, her little nuggie and Marrin TOO

Collierville sprinkler park

Lovin' her Natural Cheetos

and water

Fourth of July at the Tansey.  Too bad the twins we snoozing while we were there.

Ohh and somehow... we have about 5 bathing suits and I am looking at these pictures I have uploaded and Lanier seems to wear this one MOST of the time... I need to break out the others.  I think this one just happens to be in her swim bag

Lanier and Daddy on the 4th

Hi. Can you see my first busted lip.  Fell on the walkway at her Aunts house.

Ain't she a BEAUTY

sleepy head

Redbirds Game

We first went to see the walking of the ducks at the Peabody...WOW, I knew it was a BIG deal but I guess on a Saturday, in the summer, on a game night... it's a REAL BIG deal. ALL we could see was the duckmaster... you would have thought the President was in town.  People were cramed in and the balcony was standing room only.  So we went on our way.

Love this pic.

Just when we thought our busted lip was a big deal.... a WEEK later Lanier got a doggy tooth or nail to the cheek :( ( it was my in laws dog BUDDY, they rescued him a couple months ago)  Lanier was right under me when this happened.  She was whining when I tried to pick her up and somehow he squeezed under my leg and then I heard her cry.. looked at her and there IT was :(. It was bleeding and we put a cold rag on it... yep not just a scratch... rather a gash if you will... so we went in and Dr. Cat glued it.  I cried, Lanier cried... but she was fine when it was all said and done.  We are keeping her out of the sun the best we can, Mederma three times a day and plenty of sunscreen.  Its gonna scar but it is tiny and WOW, i keep thinking it could have been ALOT worse...

Zonked out

Uncie Jason and Aunt KeKe came in from Idaho for about 2 days and we spent every waking second with them !!  we miss them sooooo much. 

Soo sweet

our little one and her glue face.  It all flaked off about a week after the incident

Mellow Mushroom.  Jason had bought Lanier the dress she is wearing and what better place then to wear it than there. He did a GREAT job

playing naked in the backyard... I'll save her cute little naked booty pic for us.

We recenlty went out with Daddy for a round of golf at the club before dinner. We had so much fun

I LOVE these next 2 pics

 I dont know if you can tell, but I found this cute outfit at cotton tails on sale and had to get it for a day like this.  It has golf clubs, a golfcart and hole with a flag on it...  VERY appropriate attire  

Her NEW LOVe

Meet baby...

we come EVERYWHERE.  She was a gift for Courtney for Lanier's birthday and one day she just couldn't put her down.  I will have to buy a backup soon.,.. just in case.  LAnier also has her blankie ( a regular FLEECE baby blanket that she puts by her face as she sucks her fingers to sleep).  I keep telling myself I must get pictures of her walking to bed for the night with baby dragging from one hand and blankie dragging from the other .  It's TOO cute

 What a cheese

In other news.. I have managed to paint both girls rooms and we are now starting on curtians.  Lanier is in her BIG girl Bed ( a twin, and has yet to climb out) and I will post those pictures after we fix up her room this weekend.   Marrin and I are doing great !! 29 weeks tomorrow !! OHH and how could I forget. Lanier is getting her FIRST molars and they are NO fun.  Molars + 3 other teeth= FUSSY FUSSY FUSSY, NO SLEEP and did I mention FUSSY baby.  Her teeth take FOREVER to come in too so it sould be a rough couple days but were all hanging in there.

 Hope you enjoyed my long post.

lazy days of summer

This has been a great and HOT June, as is to be expected in Memphis.  Lanier and I have been hanging out at the house, swimming at Busia and Bear's and the country club, sprinkler parkin' in Collierville and in our backyard and chillin' at the children's museum.  Its just so hot to even be outside, even if it is in the water.  This is such a cute age !! Lanier is like a little person with an adorable little personality.  She is using her words and is very smart. No mama yet... actually no M words yet but she can say Casey, Stoli, grapes, keys, fishes, dada, please and a couple other words.  She still says "where is it" when I ask her where her milk is.  Its soo cute and she is just a cheese.  She still has her little attitude when she doesn't get what she wants :).  I try not to laugh but sometime it gets the best of me.  She is a great sleeper as long as she has her blankie (the lovely huge fleece pink dwell blanket from target).  I love the stares I get from people as we carry it in this 100 degree weather.  Any mother should know that there is no luck changing what she loves.  So recently I bought one that looks almost like it to have a back-up just in case something were to happen to it. She is going turbo all over the place and it is so nice to be able to put her down to walk every once in a while when were out running errands.  She still only has 4 teeth fully in with her fifth half way in and a couple more just under the gum.  She now loves to put her wet diapers or anything in the trash.  She says please to open the door and in the trash they go.  Such a nice help, maybe she can bring all of Marrins diapers there too !!

   I have been feeling pretty good with this pregnancy, just tired, which is to be expected I guess.  Its not like the first time around when I could sleep when I wanted to, but Lanier is a really easy baby and we just play and she plays very well by herself when I need to take a break on the couch.  I still cannot believe that come October we are gonna have 2 little girls :).  I have been busy making clothes and appliqueing outfits for the girls ( he he ).  I recently made a duvet cover for Laniers new room.  She is getting the spare room with twin beds.  Hope that works out like we hope it will.  We don't really want to buy another crib.  Marrin is getting the nursery with a couple new added touches to her walls.  All an all, it works out pretty nicely for everyone. 

   With our little Lanier growing so fast, I have found that she is in need of some big girl toys, so she has gotten an adorable shopping cart and a whole basket of play food to go along with it.  Today we went for our 15 month appointment and Lanier weighs a wopping 20 lbs 3 oz (20th percentile), she weighed 19 lbs 8 oz at her 12 month appt.  Dr. Cat is not too worried seeng as she is now 75th percentile in height and 50th in head circumference.  So we are to beef her up a bit.  She is such an active little girl and great eater. Check-up went great and she got 2 shots.We talked about her crooked 2 fingers that she sucks but other then taking them out of her mouth when she sucks them to bed...there is really not too much we can do about it at this point and I am sure they will straighten out.

  So long for now.  Enjoy some pics from the last month.  Ohh and I cannot believe that I am already 23 weeks pregnant.  Miss Marrin probably weighs about a pound.  She is moving all over the place and I am loving every second of it !!!
