She can walk.... just kidding

Presley LOVES to stand up and so we've started "teaching" her how to walk. I know it's months before she'll take her first steps, but it cracks us up how she moves her feet like she's walking. Here's a video we got this weekend.

I could listen to her talk and laugh all day! It is the most precious noise to me!!

Here's some pictures of what we've been up to. This is P before our walk. We try to take a walk daily. We've been meeting Ashley and Mia for walks lately. Today, Presley and Mia decided they did not want to go on a walk, so we left the park and Mia had us over to play. We have had so much fun making new friends and love hanging out with Ashley and Mia.

More Rolling

Ok, so I'm slightly obsessive. I just cannot get over her "zest" for rolling! Here's another video that is just hilarious.

Here's a picture of me and Piggy at the gym. She was loving the bubbles! Ok, that's all for now...

She's officially a Rolly poly

Presley has rolled from her back to tummy before, but never like this!! She did it like once and hated when she discovered she was on her tummy so she just stopped....till tonight! I put her on her playmat so I could eat dinner and she just started rolling all over!! I swear, she was loving it and would not stop! I am so proud, this is a big milestone.

We had a playdate at our house yesterday with all our new friends from our Mommy and Me Group. It was so much fun! I am so excited to have met such nice moms and babies that are Presley's age!! We LOVE all our playdates with them and are so excited to see all the babies grow up together. I meant to take more pictures of our whole group, but just didn't get around to it. Here's two of our new friends.

This is Mia, she's 6 months old and so precious!!

Below is baby Luke and his mom, Brittany! Luke is so cute and is just 6 days younger than Presley.

And this would be Presley sleeping in the middle of her playdate while all her friends were here...

We went to My Gym today for our class. Here's some pics of Presley in her element. She was SO tired when we got there and I thought for sure she wouldn't make it through the class. However, she perked right up when the music came on!

Becky and Tony got her her own phone and she LOVES it! Thank you guys!! Her new favorite toy, though, is her feet as you can see!

And here's my sweet girl smiling for the camera! She is at such a fun stage right now. She talks pretty much all day! It's hilarious to just listne to her babble to us.

Fun Times

It has been too long since our last post.... we've been busy! Presley and I have joined a new playgroup and we LOVE all our new friends!! We're actually hosting a playdate at our house tomorrow, so I'll have to do another post with those pictures. Anyway, we've been going to lots of different playdates, story times and coffees with friends (yeah, I don't really drink coffee, but a good white chocolate mocha, straight sugar, is delicious!).

Presley has also started off her first Football Season in great form! She's 2 for 2 on Auburn games. She has quite a cute wardrobe of Auburn clothes, which is probably no suprise to anyone reading this. Here's some pictures of recent game day outfits.

She's continued to grow before our eyes! She found her feet the past few weeks and it's so hilarious to watch her try to get a grip on them as she's rolling around on the floor. She really doesn't like to be laying down really anymore- she prefers to stand! I swear she's going to completely skip crawling and just start walking one day. I'm on a mission tomorrow to get her an exersaucer (sp?). She's just a little too tiny for the jumperoo that we have. Anyway, we're doing great and I'll update more after our playdate tomorrow.

4 month shots :(

Presley got her 4 month shots today :( Shots are never fun, but she handled it like a big girl. She got 3 shots and 1 was orally. She's so funny because she's learned how to purse her lips REALLY tight when you give her an oral medicine. She's a smart one, our Presley! She's 13.3 lbs, 23.5 inches long and 16 in head circumference. She's dropped from being about average to being in the 39% for her weight and head. She's on a great growth chart and things are looking really good. She smiled at all the nurses and the doctor right up until the shots.... Here's her bandaids.

Otherwise, things are going great. She still plays a good portion of the day. Tomorrow we're meeting some friends at Newborn Storytime! I'm sure it'll be interesting with all the little ones, but we'll see how they do. Here's some current pics of Presley:

Taking after cousin Liam, we're trying to get her to love books!

She kept trying to watch TV instead of reading...

Playing with her blanket after napping.

And I looked over the other day while I was rocking Presley and noticed, Marge is also enjoying the bumbo chair!

4 months old!!

Ok well not quite, but she will be four months old on Monday and we cannot believe how much she's grown the past few weeks!!! She is talking more everyday and she's really taken an interest in all of her toys recently. It's so great seeing her face light up when she sees some of her new favorite toys! She loves the Little Piggy that Mallie and Dallie got her, the Mickey Mouse that her Great-Grandma got her from Disneyworld and the caterpillar that Julia, Mark, Max and Olivia got her. I'm sure her favorities will continue to change on a daily basis, but those are the ones that really make her smile when she sees them these days. She's at such a fun stage and we are really enjoying every day with her! Here's some pictures of her playing.

Emily- this pic is for you. She's mastered tummy time after having a rough start :)

Here she is reaching for some toys on her play mat....a true action shot!

This is her big girl chair we just opened the other day. (She looks a little boyish in this outfit, but it was orange and blue so it was a must in her wardrobe.)

Oh and my big girl in her bumbo!!! She used to look so tiny in this chair and now she fills it out quite nicely. Liam- thanks for letting Presley borrow your chair :) She loves it! I put her basket of toys next to it and she loves to hold on to the basket.

Here we are celebrating Cameron's birthday. He was out of town for the actual day so we had a party when he got back from El Paso last weekend.

Oh I forgot, this is another favorite toy- her butterfly. We are in the process of moving Presley upstairs to her room to sleep and taking her out of her pack and play in our room. My goal is to do this next week... I mean, she'll be 4 months, so it's time. I just moved her up to her bathroom to take her baths this week. She has all of a sudden started really enjoying bathtime. She plays with all her toys and just sits back in the big kid tub we got and smiles while she plays. She's such a happy baby- if you can't tell, we are just so in love with her and slightly obsessed! I'll get some bathtime pics to put up here soon. She gets her 4 month shots next week :( That will not be a fun day, but she's a tough kid. We are staying busy though. We just joined a new playgroup in our area and with football starting up here soon, her Saturdays will be spent in training with daddy :)

Beach Vacation 2009

We had an awesome family vacation this summer!! We went to the beach with all my brothers and sisters, cousin Liam, Mark, Julia, Max and Olivia and John, Shannon and John Thomas. We had a great week with everyone!! Unfortunately, Cameron had his 2 weeks of Guard duty, so he didn't get to make the trip :( We missed him a lot!!! There's lots of pictures below of our trip...

Here's our awesome house that had beds for all of us!

Presley watching everyone play in the pool.

We celebrated Christmas in July and Presley wore one of Cameron's t-shirts from when he was little. She and Olivia got matching outfits.

We celebrated Liam's birthday while we were all together...unfortunately, Presley fell asleep before we broke out the pinata.

Presley loves the beach! She's been twice since she was born....she is one lucky girl.

Uncle Nick and Presley

Too much fun at the pool - this is the life.

Presley loves her some Amelia.... through all her seperation anxiety issues. Amelia was the only one she could consistently go to. I think it's cause she looks like me :)

Nick was a hit with all the kiddos.... this is my cousins Max and Olivia. They were great with Presley. Olivia would sing her songs and Max would help change her diapers :)

Presley got a new beach outfit from her G before we left for our trip.
Olivia at the beach.

Mom and Dad babysat one night so we could all hit the Red Bar. It was a lot of fun.


Nick looks pretty comfy driving two kiddos in the minivan :) hehe
