9 1/2 month "sideways" pictures

So, for whatever reason my computer will not let me rotate the photos. I have tried everything! If anyone has a suggestion, I'm all ears! Anyway, these are supposed to be Bailey's 9 month pictures. We had them taken at Sear's. I've gotten her pictures taken at 3, 6, and 9 months. I plan on using a "professional" photographer for her one year pictures. She'll be 10 months tomorrow- crazy!

Gettin' So Big!

Tonight Bailey went with me to Girls Night Out at Dave's Pizza in Homewood. She was soooo good...which really surprised me. She was held by many of her "aunties", ate lots of Cheerios, and did some serious babbling. I told her not to get used to coming to GNO's with mommy because mommy needs a night out alone every once in a while! Michael is on cardiology night float this month so it's been just been Bailey and me hanging out 24/7. We're so ready for this awful month to be over with!!! We want daddy back!

Oh mom, this is so much fun!

Having a serious conversation. Will is trying to figure out how to get his "mack" on both of them!

Napping in her crib with her booty up in the air. This is how she sleeps.

Mr. Tito snoozin' with Baby. He has such a rough life!

Playtime!

Babysitting Anna...Bailey didn't want to sit in my lap for a picture. She's such a busy body!!!
Sweet Anna loved Bailey's teething ring

Playdate with Anna

After they played, Robin and I took them on a walk...they were both knocked out cold! So cute!

Bailey loves her stroller as you can tell- very peaceful!

Last night Michael and I got to go on a "date" for the first time in MONTHS! Our friends, Todd and Robin, kept Bailey while we went to eat. Tonight, we kept their baby, Anna, so they could go eat. Bailey and Anna are four months apart and will eventually become great buddies! We're going to have date night once a month and we'll babysit for each other's little ones! It's about time...both couples desperately need time alone together!

9 Months Old

It's hard to believe that Bailey is already 9 months old! She is into everything and now has two teeth! Last week Bailey and I went to Paducah to spend time getting to know Caroline. She is such a good baby...all she does is sleep...and she NEVER cries! We had a great time at home relaxing and playing!

On the Move!

Miss Bailey is on the move these days! She is now crawling on all fours, pulling herself up, and doesn't sit still for a minute! Also, she has gotten a bottom tooth! It's amazing how quickly she's changing and progressing! (sorry for the sideways pictures...don't know what happened.)

Pictures of Caroline & Paducah

I finally got the pictures downloaded. Caroline will have some story to tell later on in life! They are all doing well and are currently staying at the Ransler's house where there is power. Laura is okay...she'd like to be home, but is holding up as best as she can. Please continue to pray for them and all of my family and Michael's family as they are still without power.

Caroline has arrived...major ice storm in Paducah

My sweet niece, Caroline, was born Tuesday at 2:53 am. She weighed 6 lbs. and was 20 inches. She is perfect! My sister, Laura, only pushed twice. She had an easy labor with no complications- praise God! My mom, dad and I were there at the hospital when she delivered. I still haven't slept in over 48 hours!!!

This wonderful news has been dampened by the horrible ice/snow storm that hit Paducah. I will post pictures later...but I have two words- "war zone." I have never seen anything like it in my life. There are trees and powerlines down everywhere and 99% of the city is without power. Laura is still in the hospital but must leave by Thursday at midnight. No one has power in Paducah. She is thinking they may come to Birmingham and I really want them to. They can't go home to a freezing dark house! They don't even know if they're house is still in one piece. My dad was going to check today, but there are no phone lines that work so no one can communicate with each other. The land lines and cell phones are completely dead.

I am asking everyone to please pray for my family and friends back home. Michael and I left this morning because we knew Bailey needed to be in a house with heat. My heart is deeply saddened right now when it should be such a joyous time. I just pray that my family and friends are okay. Last night the sky lit up like fireworks because transformers were blowing and powerlines were coming down. Every 5 minutes you could hear trees crashing down. We stayed at a friends house and a tree came through their home. Everyone was okay thankfully. I am just so thankful Michael and I could make it home today. The Lord was truly watching over us.

I will post pictures probably tomorrow. Please pray for everyone hit by this awful catastrophic disaster.
