She looks so cute in her very first pair of overalls.
We went to Grandmother and Granddaddy's for lunch today and she wore her overalls for the first time. They are a 3-6 month size, so they are a little big, but so cute. I've always been a sucker for overalls - I just LOVE them.
She looked so cute playing . . . naked . . . with a cap on . . . I just had to take her picture.
Tyler looks like Santa with his huge bag. He is still clearing the tree that was cut down a week or so ago. He loads the limbs onto a tarp and carries them out to the street so the city will pick them up. His strength never ceases to amaze me - he's my big strong man! 
We took a quick, and I mean very quick, trip to the beach yesterday. Regina's family reunion was this week and she asked if I would come down for a photo session. I said of course . . . I mean - get paid to go to the beach - who wouldn't?
Annagrace was very good at the beach, she happily hung from Tyler's chest in her little Snugli.

We spent the afternoon taking family pictures of the Garners. Max is so funny and he thought Tyler was HILARIOUS!
I think we might be raising a monkey, not a human.
This game night was actually on July 13th, before I started this blog, but this was so cute I had to post it. Annagrace was having so much fun playing cards with us, she refused to go to sleep until around midnight.
We had game night with our friends Angie and Keith.
Annagrace and her prince frog!
Yesterday Heather and Max came over for a visit. Max had fun playing with Annagrace's toys and we all danced to the Wiggles. Max is so cute and silly.
Her latest trick (as if she were a dog) is holding her own bottle. Well, I guess I should say TRYING to hold her own bottle. She can keep it supported, but not up enough to always keep the milk in the nipple.
At her last appointment, the doctor said that we can start trying cereal and even fruit and vegetable baby food. Annagrace has been trying to sit up on her own which made me think she might be ready for a highchair. So, we sold our kitchen table and bought a highchair today.
She loved it. She thought it was funny to beat the tray with her hands. She also really liked that her toys were at hand level and closer to her mouth.
She tried baby food for the first time today - Pears.
She didn't like it very much.
She also got a new toy today that she just loves. She cuddled up with it and fell asleep while we were shopping at Walmart. 
SHE GOT THEM INTO HER MOUTH!
Lucy is still our baby, one of our babies, anyway. She just isn't the center of attention anymore, which has effected her a little. She gets jelous now. When we are talking to the baby, she will come stand between us and try to jump up to get our attention on her instead of the baby.
We had a small wind storm on Friday that snapped the top of the only tree spared by the tornado. 
I had my first paying photo session - the Dryden family reunion. They were a fun group to work with. But, getting 37 people to ALL look AND smile at me at the same time, was pretty much impossible. In the best shot, I got everyone but Lilly, the baby in front, to look and smile. She was way more fascinated with the grass than me and my silly camera. The gardens in Callaway were the perfect back drop for this beautiful family. 
Miss Photogenic. Who else looks this cute when they first wake up? 
Annagrace discovered her feet today and is now infatuated with them. She hasn't gotten them in her mouth yet, but she sure is trying. It is amazing to watch the progression of her physical and mental capabilities. She is getting very tactile. The items that entertained her by sight alone now have to be felt and tasted. She rubs my shirt and my skin and she likes having a hand on my chest while falling asleep. She also LOVES her blankets. 
Yesterday we spent the day in Atlanta shopping at IKEA and visited Aunt Carol. It was a long, tiring day for Annagrace. When she got home she wanted to see her Daddy so bad, but try as she might, she could not keep those eyes open.
The party had a Superman theme all the way down to his present- a Superman movie box set.
Annagrace was dressed up for the occasion but slept through the whole party. Today is also Annagrace's birthday - her 3 month birthday! She celebrated by rolling over for the first time from her side to her belly. (I just happened to be taking pictures of her at the time and got a shot of it!)
We started off the holiday with a Pancake breakfast at Chruch and then we headed out to Aunt Brenda's to swim.
Grandmother gave up swimming to hold the baby in the shade. She thought it was a fair trade!
This silly little girl just LOVES to take a bath, I've never seen a baby love the water so much! I call her my little burrito when I wrap her up in the towel, she always smiles.
My poor baby, she got her first round of immunizations today. She screamed when they gave her the shots, who could blame her. But then she did really well, smiling and cooing, for a couple of hours. Then, all of a sudden she started screaming, inconsolably, and her leg was red and swollen. I called the doctor and they said it was normal, to use a warm compress. It took me an hour of rocking, singing rock-a-bye-baby, and a warm compress to get her to sleep. I also made sure she had her dose of Tylenol every four hours ON THE DOT. I wanted her to feel the least amount of pain possible.
Tammy's daughter Christina got married today. I helped out with the decorations, ceremony direction, and I made the bouquets and boutonnieres.
I just love to hold her while she sleeps, I'm sure I'm spoiling her but I don't care.
Riley and Ian came to Columbus for a visit so we took them bowling, along with Carrie and Soren.
