New Pictures

A few weeks ago Marcee's two wonderful grandmothers took her to have her picture taken as a surprise for me. Well, the pictures were just posted on the photographer's website... and they are great! That truly was a surprise since normally Marcee starts screaming anytime a stranger is talking to her and I'm not holding her. :) But, not this time. Granny says she wasn't in a good mood but you'd never know it in these pictures. Scarlett (the photographer) did an amazing job with her. Now I just have to decide which ones are my favorite. Here's the link to Marcee's gallery. Let me know which are your favorites!

Thanks again Granny and Me-Mama!!! Y'all are the most amazing grandmothers ever!

10 Months!!!!

This past Wednesday Marcee was 10 months old! It's so hard to believe that in 2 months we'll be celebrating her first birthday. Can she really be turning into a toddler already?!?!

She wasn't really wanting to cooperate for the pictures. But she did want to push her "Polly Wolly Dolly" around. I found the stroller/walker at Dirt Cheap for $9 and the doll Aunt Zan-Zan had given her fit it perfectly! It's one of her favorite toys.... Thanks Zan-Zan!

She's getting so big! I can't believe just how fast 10 months has flown by!

Now this a true reflection of Marcee at 10 months....

Happy Spring!

How Did 9 Months Go By So Fast?!?!

That's right... Marcee was 9 months old on the 21st! It's just so hard for me to believe it's been that long since the day we brought that tiny little girl home.

We went in Wednesday for her 9 month check-up and got a great report. Marcee now weighs 21.15 lbs. and is 28 1/4 inches tall. And... she's no longer in the 90th percentile for everything. We've moved down to the 75th! Woo hoo! :) She can now start trying some table food so we're really excited about that!


These pictures were actually taken on the day of her doctor's appointment right after we got home. This is her adorable "fun" Easter outfit.

We're so thankful for a healthy, happy little girl! She's such a blessing and makes my life complete. I have no idea who I would be or what I would do without her...

Beginning of 2010 (241 photos),

I finally got around to uploading all of our cute pictures from January until now. I put them in an albulm on Snapfish so those of you not on Facebook can see them all. Hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

Easter Dress Sneak Peak

We had Future Citizen pictures this week so Granny and her amazing sewing amigos had several emergency sewing sessions in order to finish Marcee's Easter dress early. Well they did and it is absolutely beautiful!!!

I wasn't going to post any pictures before Easter but I just couldn't resist!

She just looks so pretty in her dress.

Speical thanks to Me Mama for keeping Marcee during all the sew days so the dress could be made, to Granny for making the dress, and to Miss Kay, Miss Prissy, and Aunt Jane for all their help! Marcee's first Easter will be even more special because of all of you. We love you all so much!

Marcee's First Outdoor Adventure

Sunday afternoon we took Marcee out to Rosebud for her first afternoon in the woods. She loves to be outside so she was so excited... she's definitely our child!!!

She loaded up with Daddy Craig and Granny and was ready to ride! I'm still not sure who had the most fun but I'm betting on Daddy Craig...

We stopped for Daddy Craig to lead us on a "short" walk through the woods.

We decided to take some pics of Marcee since it was her 8 month birthday but she wasn't really in the mood to smile. This is actually one of the better ones. :)

Although the pictures by herself didn't turn out great this one did! It's too sweet and looks great in black and white! JT's such an amazing Daddy... Marcee and I are really lucky!

A Picture Perfect Valentine's Day...

Wasn't Marcee just precious on Valentine's Day?! She was so cute in her special outfit Granny made her. Yes, I realize I'm very lucky!

Marcee wasn't the only thing around our house Granny helped to look cute. She bought me these three cute cupcakes from Hobby Lobby. I just loved them on my dresser that I use to store my china in!

Granny also made me some adorable napkins for my table. Yes, she amazing... think I'll keep her around! :)

So, my Valentine's Day was picture perfect! Marcee was precious... as usual! :) And, JT and I even went on a date... well, a double date. We went to Prattville to a movie and dinner. It was a wonderful day!

Snowy Day

Marcee got to see her first snow yesterday! We woke up around 6 and it was coming down hard. I just had to take her out to get a few pictures... just for a few minutes.

She wanted to play in it so bad!


It was really beautiful!

Marcee's 7 Months Old!

Wow... Time sure flies by! As hard as it is to believe our little princess turned 7 months old last Thursday. It's really hard to think that in just 5 months we'll be having her first birthday party. She really is growing up way to fast! She's definitely not a little baby any more. She's all over the place now and is pulling up all by herself. She is going to be walking in no time. Sometimes I think she's not my child... I was just content laying on the floor. Not this one, she's full of energy! We just can't wait for it to warm up some more outside so we can get out and play. She sure loves riding in her new Cozy Coupe!

She also likes playing in Daddy's jeep... Who said JT needed a boy?!?!

Look out world, here she comes!!!

I wanna be like Mama and Daddy!

Marcee trying on her Daddy's hat... she had so much fun!

And then she decided to play peek-a-boo...

What fun!!!

Look... I can wear Mama's shoes too! I'm such a big girl!

Who knew such simple things in life could be so amuzing?!?!?

A Very Special Gift

One day this week we got home to a great surprise... Marcee had her very own package waiting at the doorsteps!!! So we rushed in and opened it right away. Once we got it open I teared up and Marcee started smiling. It was this precious baby doll from none other but my sweet Ju-Ju. Marcee loved her right away and was facinated with her bunny ears! On Christmas day Granny gave Marcee her first Madame Alexander doll and we named her Stacy... just thought it was the perfect name. We play with and talk to her every day. I think this doll from Ju-Ju will be an addition to our favorites!

Happy New Year!!!

This year the Christmas season seemed to just fly by. As wonderful as it was there were several things I didn't get around to. One of those was my tradition of making "Papa Cookies" (a.k.a. ginger snaps). So I decided to make them today with Marcee... maybe it will be our New Year tradition from now on. It was just as much fun as I remembered and I even had a little extra help...

And when they came out they looked so tempting....

So I had to give in and let her taste test one.... Papa would have!

We even put them in the same jar as Papa did when we were little! What a way to start the new year!
