Baby Dedication

We will be dedicating our sweet baby(and ourselves as parents)to God next month. The date is set for October 5th. It will be a special day. My mom will be visiting, and Jeremy's parents will be coming as well. I hope that Adam and the girls, and Atlee can come as well.

Spit Up and Grandmother Mimzy

So you know the saying "like father, like son" well how about "like father, like daughter"!!!!!! Flannery decided to spit up and Jeremy received the brunt of her explosion on his chin, and she had the remaining dribbles on hers. I had to capture the moment because it was so hilarious to see their matching chins.






These are a couple of shots of my beautiful mother holding Flannery. She came to TN when I was there with the College girls so that she could get some Grandmother time with her little granddaughter. We had a wonderful time together!!!

On Saturday Jeremy and I decided to take Flannery to the pool in our neighborhood. It was the first time this summer, and Flannery's first official "SWIM". She dipped her toes in the pool when we were in Tennessee, but she was all the way in on Saturday. She loves the water, and this time next year she will be a little fish! So, these pictures are when we were about to leave. She looked so cute that I couldn't resist some pictures. The first is a happy smile, and the second is a "MISS SERIOUS". haha.

She is doing so well, and growing so much. She squeals with delight when she is excited about something, and she will just talk and almost carry on a conversation with me sometimes!! I love it!! She was three months on Sunday, and she stayed with Daddy while I had to take a class for my Esthetician license. Jeremy did a wonderful job! He is such a wonderful Daddy. She loves him so much!!!

Her first time in the pool. :)

This was Flannery's first time in her bathing suit, and I think she liked it! We were in Cleveland, TN last weekend with the College group for a girls weekend. Becky took this picture, and I love it so much.

Doctor Update, and other stuff!

Flannery had her two month check-up a week ago and she is doing wonderfully. She weighs 14 lbs and is 23 inches long. She also had to get some more vaccinations and she cried so much. I nursed her afterward and she went to sleep right away. It's hard seeing her have to get shots. Her face gets the most pitiful little look. I'm glad she doesn't have to do that for another two months. She is doing so many fun things. She will look at her fist, and stare at it for several minutes. She also will squeal sometimes when she gets excited. She is so fun to talk to, and play with. I sometimes don't get much done during the day because I'm so mesmerized by her!

Other news-I have a job at Central Church of God weekday school. I am going to be working in a toddler room, and I'm so happy! I can take Flannery and she will be in the room next to me. I will be working Tuesday-Thursday, 9:00am-1:30pm. I'm so thankful for this job!!!

Photos

So Becky Bernier came over on Saturday and took some amazing photos of our sweet girl! I had such a good time. She is so amazing!!! I look forward to more photo shoots with her!! She really captured Flannery's personality and all her sweet, and quirky little faces that she makes!! I love them!! All 147 shots!!!! I'm out of my mind looking at them all!! hehe!!!!!

Love you Becky!!!

Long overdue!

I have been meaning to update for over a week! We made it to Ky and back already, and it was such a great trip. We got to see several family members, and spend alot of time with Grandmother Mimzy. We also got to see Flannery's great grandmother Lois. Adam and Atlee and the girls were so glad to finally meet our little sweet pea. I have pictures that I will post shortly. She did an amazing job riding in the car. I rode in the back with her most of the time so that I could feed her, and talk to her. She slept quite a bit as well. We had a great trip, but it was very sad leaving. My heart longs for the day when we are not 8 hours from my mom. I want Flannery to grow up much closer to her than this. God's timing is best though, and I know that He has a plan.

This past weekend Bebe and Pop came up to see us. Pop hadn't seen Flannery since she was born, so she looked quite a bit different to him!! much BIGGER! :) We had a great time!

I can't believe that she will 8 weeks old tomorrow!! She is growing so fast. She is cooing, and gurgling, and making squeals all the time. She loves to look at all sorts of things, and LOVES for you to talk to her and sing songs. She is such a joy to our hearts.
