Last Week

This past week was filled with fun times. Anna Claire is officially crawling. Super cute! She is so curious! I have a feeling that it will not be long before she starts walking. She has gone from crawling to constantly pulling up on furniture and the fireplace. We are going to have to buy a cover for the fireplace. It is a little scary! This past week Anna Claire was able to spend some good quality time with all of her Grand people. On Wednesday she stayed with Nana ( Judy-Robb's mom) while we worked. They had a great time! Wednesday night Grandmother, Granddaddy, and Uncle Jonathan came up for a visit ( my parents and brother) We had a blast eating stuffed bellpeppers and then playing dominoes. There was some fierce competition. Anna Claire stayed home on Thursday and Friday with them. She blessed them with a great blow out diaper and had fun playing all day. Anna Claire attended her first movie on Friday night. She went with all of us to Fire Proof. Her eyes were huge as she tried to take it all in. She and grandmother went out after the first 1o minutes. I am sure everyone in the theater was glad of that. We took her yardsale shopping and enjoyed watching the Alabama/ Georgia game. Roll Tide!!

A long Summer's Break

It has been a busy summer!! One that left little time for keeping this up to date. However, I will try to do better now that life is getting into some sort of routine. Since Mother's Day we have moved back to Cleveland. This has been great! Anna Claire is able to see all of her family so much more! I am thankful that God opened the door for this to happen. We have had many first! The first time for Anna Claire to go swimming. The first time for her to go camping. The first time for her to say "Mamma" (July 5th) and "Dadda" (Aug 5th).Her first time to meet her great grandmother (Omi) and great grandfather (PawPaw). Her first 2 teeth. - These popped out while we were visiting Grandmother ,Grandaddy, and Uncle Jonathan. ( My parents) This was not a super fun experience but could have been a lot worse! She now sits on her own. Eats solid foods like a champ! And likes her new room that she has all by herself. Anna Claire is sooo expressive! I love playing with her and seeing her grow. It is hard to believe that she is a little over 8 months old. Here are a couple of pictures of the fun we have been having.
