Panama City!!!

Last week, we went to Panama City with Aaron and Carrie. We had a great time just relaxing on the beach and floating in the ocean. We're taking the kids to Perdido Key in about a month. I can't wait to go back! I'm usually a little tired of sand by the end of the week, but I could've stayed a few more days. We missed the kids though so it was great to get back. I don't have any beach pictures so I'll post more when I get a copy of Carrie's.

On the way down. We went to Memphis the first night. We ate at Rendezvous and listened to some live music. It was fun.
Every year we make a HUGE bowl of guacamole. Yeah, we ate the whole thing!!Don't ask!!

One More!!

This is my last post! I guess it's actually the first that you are seeing. I downloaded all of my pics at once and it's been a busy week! Lydia pushed herself up and stood yesterday!!! She did it several times and then last night she did it when Jared was there and actually stood straight up (I didn't get a picture of that-in these she's leaning forward more).

She pushed her piano around.
She's got a new gummy grin!!

Track Meet

Zane's school participated in a track meet yesterday at Fayetteville High School. He did a great job!! He came in first in his heat in the the 50 meter dash.It was CLOSE!
He jumped over 9 feet in the running long jump.
He threw the football 21 yards.

It's That Time...

We took the kids swimming at the club a couple of days ago. The kid area was closed so we swam in the big pool. The water was a little cool (can you tell by Lyddie's face?).

Is that MY son?? He likes to take pictures like his mom!
"Hey you."
Harrison wanted to hold Lydia. She was wanting his attention!

"Don't Lydia!!!"

Today, Harrison decided that him and Lydia were going to play a board game. It started off really well, but Lydia didn't cooperate (as you can imagine). "I don't understand the rules."
She is becoming dangerous. She's strong enough to push herself up on some things but not steady enough to be safe!
This was when Harrison started to get mad. It's the first time that I've heard him get frustrated with her (but it definetly WON'T be the last). Every time I would move her back to her blanket, she would head straight back over to him. She's getting MUCH quicker!

Yet ANOTHER First!

O.k., ya'll are probably getting really tired of these "first" posts but it may be the only way I can remember them until I actually get her baby book filled out (especially since they've all happened so close together)! She's started going from crawling to pushing herself up and sitting down. She first did it on Saturday while she was in a room ALONE. I had walked out of the room to look at something and when Jared walked in she was sitting there holding onto the couch. Now she's doing it like a pro!

"Mom acts like a dork everytime I do this!"

Stealing

O.K., I'm stealing an idea from a friend of mine's blog (I'm sorry Kara!!). She has what's called "What I Love Fridays". I'll do a little spin off of it and post it randomly when I find things that I'm loving. The idea hit me the other day when I was using a baby product on Lydia (of course--most of my loves will probably be kid related, unintentionally!) and thought how much I LOVED it! O.K, simple enough.

1. I love these baby wipes for Lydia. She's super sensitive and I will occasionally try regular sensitive baby wipes and she is raw within a day. They are by Lansinoh and you can get them at Target.

2. California Baby diaper rash cream. Same reason as above!

3.Avalon Baby Organics shampoo and body wash--I haven't gone crunchy, this is just good stuff (not that there's anything wrong with being crunchy!!).
I had more but they've left me (mommy brain) and Harrison just woke up and wants some breakfast. Let me know if you've found things that you love. It's a great way to know what's out there with out having to trial and error everything (especially health and beauty products-I love ideas for those!).
