It's been a long time. . .

Ok, so I know I haven't written in FOREVER and I truly apologize. I will give you a little update on how a past two months have been going in your busy little life.

Lets see, we took you to the beach for the first time and by the end of the week we couldn't get you out of the sand. You loved it so much. Thankfully you never tried to put the sand in your mouth, although, you were close on several occasions. At the beach you met all of Grandpa Tom's family, and they loved you. Everyone fought over holding you, and playing with you. Why wouldn't they?! I also think you had more fun than anyone else at the beach, simply because the more people that were around the happier you got and the louder the room was the louder you got.

Your two front teeth came in, those were pretty bad. Much worse than the bottom two. But they are pearly white, and they are coming down quite beautifully!

We took a couple of trips to Hazard, KY to visit Nana, and you tried your first bite of Nana's amazing green beans. This is mommy's favorite dish Nana cooks, and of course you loved it as well. You also tried Ravioli, which was also a success. You ate very well this weekend. Hurray!!!
The day we came home you came down with the Norovirus, oh boy, then daddy got it, and mommy shortly after! This virus was terrible!! You got dehydrated and went to the ER, and of course they didn't do anything that we wouldn't have done at the house, except prescribe Zofran to help settle your stomach. The next weekend, while still recovering, we drove to Atlanta. Seeing that it was the only time we could go we decided to risk getting grandma, grandpa & uncle jake sick. Unfortunately, grandma and uncle jake got the virus, BUT it didn't last long and wasn't near as bad as what we had the week before.

We took you too the Georgia Aquarium, and Stone Mountain to see the laser light show. You loved both places! I think we will have to get a fish tank for the house, because you like the fish SO much! Now, every time we go to Wal-Mart and you see the fish you go insane, and try to catch them. Stone Mountain was a blast and even though you were exhausted from the long day you were able to stay awake through almost the entire show! Grandma and Grandpa Mangan bought you a green stone mountain monkey and you held onto that with the tightest grip possible and clung to your daddy the entire time. You also saw your first set of fireworks during that show, I liked how we killed two birds with one stone!

Now that we are all well and back home, safe and sound, it's time to start getting you on your way to walking. You this walker and you can bust a move on that thing. You basically run across our floors. If only you could build up the courage to let go and walk on your own. I have a feel it's going to happen one day very soon, it's only a matter of when?! It's also getting closer to your 1st birthday! Oh my, ONE YEARS OLD, I can't believe our precious baby girl is going to be ONE! This year has flown buy. I decided to do your party in Minnie Mouse. I also made the decision to handmake your birthday invitations, along with your birthday cakes. . . I'm not so sure how great of an idea that was, but I know it'll be extra special is mommy makes it!

Well this is all I have to report! I promise I will be better at posting from now on! And pictures will be soon to follow!
