Social Butterfly

What a fun week! We've been so busy, and Miss Helen Grace is quite the social butterfly. I've enjoyed being able to get out and about with her more often, and thankfully, she is a great traveler and loves being on the go. She is getting more alert with every day, and she is busy moving around all the time. She loves to arch her back, turn her head from side to side, and she'll kick herself off your lap if you're not careful! We continue to be so amazed by our little girl, and we are truly blessed to have this itty bitty piece of heaven. Here is our past week in pictures...

Cuddling with Daddy

Helen Grace surprised my mom at work, Greenbrook Elementary, one day this week. Spif saw us out the window and came running outside before we even got to the door- ha! I think she was a little excited to see us. We hope it will be HG's first and only trip to the principal's office!
Check out that tummy! From my jumping on the scale at home with and without her, it looks like she weighs in the high 9 pounds now.

Aunt Emily came for a visit this weekend- we had such a good time! When HG wouldn't go to sleep Saturday night, we had a fun hen party in her nursery in the wee hours of the morning. Thanks, Em, for all your patience and help, and we can't wait for the next slumber party!

We met Ashley and Wynn Carter for lunch at Newk's when they were in town from Nashville. Wynn and HG are about 5 months apart, and it was amazing to see how much they grow and change in that small amount of time.

Wynn Carter and Helen Grace...future Delta Gamma pledge sisters?

Happy six weeks! July 6, 2009

My mom smocked this dress for me when I was a baby! Maybe I ought to sign up for some smocking classes...

We went down to New Albany so that Angela Davis could take some pictures of Helen Grace. Check out Angela's Itsy Bitsy Photography blog- she is an amazing photographer. We tried a naked pose which I think will turn out to be really cute, but it ended with pee running down my leg...and that was the end of the naked pics! Here she is working hard for the perfect shot with HG and Daddy.
