Kate's Wedding

My lifelong friend Kate, got married 2 weekends ago in Tuscaloosa, to her husband Scott! It was such a wonderful weekend and fun for Clint and I to be back in Tuscaloosa again!! The wedding took place at our old Church (Trinity Presbyterian), so it was great to get to see everyone that we use to attend church with. Kate looked beautiful on her special day and I absolutely loved her dress. She looked stunning. She is such a special friend and I am excited for her to start her new life with such a Godly man. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Hannah Grace's new dress for the wedding that Nana got her!

Dancing with Daddy at the reception (she lasted all of about 10 minutes here!). The music was so loud that she was screaming right after this pic.

Thanks to Nana and Cousin Natalie for keeping Hannah Grace most of the weekend :)

8 Months!

Hannah Grace is just growing up before our eyes and I can't believe our baby is only 3 1/2 months from turning 1! It makes me a little sad, but I also love watching her learn new things and grow up into a precious little girl! This past month has brought on a lot more activity! She is starting to move around a lot more!! She rolls everywhere and will not sit still in your lap, but insists on crawling all over you. She is still not crawling yet, but it looks like it might be soon. She is trying very hard, so we will see when she decides to start. Until then, I am still enjoying her not being mobile. She still doesn't have any teeth, but I think the bottom 2 will pop in any day! Hannah Grace still has the most fun loving personality and still loves people. She will go to anyone and loves being the center of attention. Although she is mostly always happy, she has started to throw some fits!! She does this most of the time, when you take something away from her that she shouldn't have. But, as long as you give her something else, she is usually fine. Hopefully, this will be the extent to her fits, but if she is anything like her Mommy, this is just the beginning! Supposedly, I was a pretty bad toddler (with attitude!!), so we will see if Hannah Grace takes this on. We go to the Doctor at 9 months, so I will be interested to see what Hannah Grace weighs and how tall she is. Maybe she will make it on the charts this time!! (haha)

Rolling all over Daddy!!

In the outfit that BG made!

Clint reading his nightly Bible Story to Hannah Grace

Of all her toys, her hairbrush is by far, one of her favorite things to play with!

LOCKED IN!!

What my child was earlier this morning!! Locked in what you may ask?!! THE CAR!! I locked my poor child in my car at the church this morning! I seriously felt like the worse Mom ever. You may be wondering how this happened. Well, I always go in to get Hannah Grace and put my keys in the diaper bag. Well, for some reason I had hit the lock button and realized that I had forgotten my Bible in the front seat. I went to get it and when I did, that is when the back door shut and I realized what I had done. So, I frantically run into the church crying, trying to get to a phone (since mine was in the car) and try and get Clint, who has my spare. Well, he didn't answer and in the meantime I ran into one of the girls in the B'study and she informed me to call 911. Much to my surprise, they will come and unlock your car when a child is involved. They got there in about 2 minutes, but it took them around 15 minutes to get her out! Supposedly, my car is hard to break into! While, they were still working on getting her out, I did get in touch with Clint. Thankfully, he was right around the corner, heading to his office. I informed him on the phone that they were having some trouble and he steps out of his car with a hammer!! He was ready to knock out the window, if they didn't get her out soon! Those of you who know Clint, can imagine this sight! Well, we finally got her out and she was fine! She was actually fine the whole time and having a great time in the car, while everyone else was panicking. She was playing peek-a-boo with the pastors and laughing and admiring everyone around her. Gotta love her personality :) Oh, and if you do lock your child into your car, what better place to be than at your church. The staff was great and was so encouraging, while thanking me for a bit of excitement in their day!

Zoo

About 2 months ago, Hannah Grace went to the zoo for the first time! I have been meaning to do this post and keep forgetting, so finally I am posting it. We went with my friend Margaret and her son Charlie. It was such a fun day and I think Margaret and I enjoyed the zoo and conversation more than the babies!! Maybe next summer they will be able to enjoy it a little more. Hannah Grace and Charlie play so well together and although Hannah Grace is bigger than her friend, Charlie is actually 2 months older! I don't think I realize how big she is, until we are around other babies!! We just wish they lived here in Birmingham, so we could see them more. Here are a couple of pictures from the zoo and of them playing afterwards at the house. My favorite animal at the zoo was the Gorilla!! It looks so fake!

4th Of July

What a wonderful 4th of July we had at Lake Guntersville! All of my family was there, along with Kendall's family too! It was great to meet her niece (Harper) and nephew (Miles). They are both so precious and Miles was so cute running all over the place. Hannah Grace adored him and would just stare at him constantly! We took Hannah Grace on the boat for the first time and she loved the boat, but hated her life jacket! So, the ride lasted only a couple of minutes. Maybe next year she won't be so bothered by the life jacket! On the 4th, we had a crawfish boil and it was so much fun! My brother Will, is a great cook and did a fabulous job on all the food. It was such a great weekend and I enjoyed all the time spent with family and friends. I also have an update on Will and Kendall. Hannah Grace will be a cousin to TWINS! We are all so excited and everything looks perfect with both of the babies. I just can't wait for them to be here!!!
