Wordless Wednesday "Dancing with MAG"

8 Months Old

Today our little girl turns 8 months old. This month went by REALLY fast!

Here are some highlights:
I don't really know how much she weighs but I'm guessing about 18 to 19 lbs.
She really loves her nanny! We are very blessed!
She likes to eat "real" bananas in her "no choking" container.
She loves to eat puffs.
She takes about 4 bottles a day and eats 3 meals a day
She FINALLY learned to sleep unswaddled
She goes to bed around 7:00 and wakes up around 7:00
She LOVES Blues Clues (she gets really happy when she it comes on)
She loves to roll over and crawl backwards (she gets real frustrated when she tries to crawl forward)
She can say and wave Bye Bye
She did not have an ear infection all month! (This is a big blessing)
She finally got both of her bottom teeth.

Our Surprise Guest

Today I got a phone call from our cousin Crystal and she said that she was in town with her daughter Emma. We were so excited that they were in town and came to visit. We haven't seen them in FOREVER! Emma is growing up so much! We can't wait until the holidays so we can get together to play again!

Our Guatemala Girl

Granddaddy went to Guatemala a couple weeks ago and bought Mary Alice a beautiful dress back! She wore it to church this past Sunday and I must say she was the cutest baby there! (I think I'm a little biased)

Thank you Granddaddy for my dress!

I love you!

Halloween 09

Our Halloween was very busy but we had a great day!
We started by having lunch at my parents house. We wanted to go to Niven's apple farm but it was raining so we just enjoyed playing at their house.

Here are Nana and Granddad with all the grandchildren. The grandkids
My sister and I attempted a picture with the kids. This was the best shot we got!

My cousin was home for his R&R from the war. He made it just in time to see his daughter Kinsley be born! Here he is meeting Mary Alice for the first time. Please say an extra prayer for him. He goes back at the end of the week.

Here is his wife Amanda with Mary Alice

Isn't she beautiful!?!? I really liked holding her! :)

My cousin also has twin 6 year olds! Here is a picture of all the girl cousins.

All the "big" cousins

After lunch and nap we went to the Brockman's house to visit. Mary Alice loves her "Aunt" Laura!

Here she is playing with the girls I use to babysit. I cannot believe how grown up they are now!

After visiting the Brockmans, we went to Grandad and Ma's to visit Patrick's family.

Here is Mary Alice getting some Halloween treats from Pam

Here is our family picture with our little duck!

After dinner at the Graham's we decide to trick or treat in their neighborhood. We visited the Smith's.
