Watching William Grow Up: February 2007

So grown up...

Anna and I had lunch at her house this afternoon and I got there as T was finishing up his lunch. He's layed back in his high chair...with traces of carrots on his face. What a little love T is. He is just so sweet and playful!

T's Nana and Big Daddy brought him this hat from Key West. Anna said he wore it out this morning when they went to the grocery store- how grown up is T?! He's such a little man now.

So, what is it Aunt C? I'm just hanging out playing...are you going to take more pictures of me?!

He crawled all over the place in a "wormlike fashion". He can really get around though. He definitely has determination!

Aunt C will capture many more T moments this coming weekend when I get to stay with him for the whole weekend! Can't wait!!!!

Celebrating Hannah's Baptism

Hannah's family and friends came over to celebrate her Baptism on Saturday night. Below are Amanda & Hannah, Sarah Preston & Sally and Haley and Emory Anne. Lots and lots of little girls!

Emory Anne hamming it up!

Sally checking everything out...still loves laying on her Momma!

Laurel holding that sweet, smiling little Sally!

Mimi and Hannah on her special day!

Hannah had fun playing with her girl friends on Saturday night...we are all so blessed to have such wonderful friends and babies in our lives!!!

Hannah's Baptism

Hannah was baptized on Saturday afternoon. It was a private ceremony with just the close family there. Here is Hannah with her Nana (and I don't know what she calls Tom).

Mimi, Grandaddy and Hannah

Hannah and Aunt C

Hannah and her Daddy...what a ham!!!

I always leave my camera!

I left my camera at Leslies' house on Wednesday night and finally went to pick it up on Saturday. Lel and Pat had left for a wedding, but Will's Aunt Kim was there taking care of him. I stayed for a few minutes...it's hard to leave such a cute little boy!

So I have a funny story...actually it's kind of an ongoing story. Pat and I started calling each other Bob somewhere around our freshman year in high school. Why?, I don't have a clue and I don't think Pat does either. Anyway, when Will was old enough to learn names, I was introduced to him as Bob (of course by Pat). That was over a year ago and I've heard nothing but Bob every time I see him. Well on this particular visit, I think Aunt Kim told him that Caroline was coming. I get there- he calls me Bob, Caroline, Bob, Bob, then he's just utterly confused I think. So when the time came for me to leave, he asked Kim who's car that was outside and Kim said it was Caroline's. He looked at me and said "where's Caroline"? I told him she was out on a walk in the neighborhood and that Bob was going to drive Caroline's car home. Poor Will, Lel what do we do?!?!

Of course Will is eating his favorite things...fruit snacks. I found some in my jacket pocket later on Saturday night.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was spent with 18 friends over at Leslie and Pat's house. Of course I have almost no pictures of the adults, unless of course they are holding a baby! Below is Jay holding little Sally Marzagao. I think we all know that Jay loves babies!

Sally was very content hanging out in her swing.

Daddy next to his baby Sally...

Hanging out...

Sally had a great night the whole time we were there. Apparently she likes lights...Leslie's swing had lights that kept her mesmerized for hours. Looks like Sarah Preston needs to go shopping.

Thanks again for having all of us over on Valentine's Day Lel and Bob!!!

Hannah's photo session

Mom and I found a paper white dress over a year ago and Mimi dressed Hannah in it on Monday night so Grandaddy could take so pictures. They turned out to be precious!!! She has a new thing where she moves her tongue back and forth across her top lip.

Miss Personality

Hands and tongue- on the go!

Mimi...when is Grandaddy going to be through taking all of these pictures?!

I swear I could take a bite out of her she's just so stinking cute!!!!!!!

Keeping Emory Anne

Haley needed somebody to keep Emory Anne on Tuesday afteroon, so she came over to my house. A few minutes before Haley came to pick her, she sacked out.

Sweet sleeping baby...

Lunch with Kelly & Wright

Last Saturday (yes, over a week ago!) I had lunch with Kelly and Wright Collins. We had such a good time catching up and I LOVED seeing Wright; he is absolutely precious. I thought he looked just like Matt, but Kelly showed me her baby pictures and he looks so much like her! He does not take after his mom in size though...he is a BIG boy :)

Kelly had every toy you can imagine hanging off of his car seat...what a little chunk of love!

T pics for BeBe (and everybody else!)

Such a ham!!!!!!!! Look at his two bottom (like he has others!) teeth.

T's trick- he pulls up and crawls, but not forwards, backwards. He's on his way to moving VERY soon!

Hey!!!!

Hey BeBe...

Hannah & Sally

I kept Hannah for a couple hours on Friday afternoon until Amanda got home from school. Sarah Preston and Sally came to visit us- well Hannah LOVED looking at Baby Sally. I did the best I could to keep her from touching Sally, but she was just so interested. I let her get too close one time and her hand went right over Sally's mouth. Looks okay, right? Well look at the next picture down.

Sally's lip is poked out as far as it will go and Hannah thinks is hysterical!

She looked up at me one time, like "Aunt C, it doesn't get better than this...I love playing with Baby Sally"!

I'm not so sure that Sally agreed!

Hannah & Emory Anne

Well after awhile, Haley and Emory Anne came over to visit us too. We just had a baby/Mom/Aunt party for a few hours. It was so much fun to get the babies together! This first picture was taken soon after we put Emory Anne and Hannah side by side on the sofa. Hannah was ready to play and EA was not so sure. It took her a few minutes and she warmed up to her enough to smile a little.
