More Teeth!

Well, it appears McNeill is cutting a mouthful of teeth. I think she is getting 3 more. So, we may go from having 2 teeth to 6 in less than a week!

Drew and I went to Highlands Bar and Grill last Thursday for date night. We had a wonderful time and the food was delicious!! Our menu consisted of crawfish etouffee for an appetizer, beef tenderloin for my dinner and pheasant for Drew. For dessert we had strawberry tarts...yum yum yum. Matt and Andrea..we wish y'all were there with us!!

Happy Wednesday!!

11 Months!

Let me go ahead and apologize for the picture overload!

This month has been busy. Drew has a test almost every 2 weeks and I have helped throw two showers. Our friends Blake and Holly Beth are expecting Jack in March (unless he decides to come sooner!). Now for McNeill news...she has taken her first steps this month. She has started standing up a lot and her balance gets better each time. It is so hard to believe that I have a little girl who is walking! She refuses to eat out of a spoon. If you try to feed her something she just shakes her head no and keeps her mouth closed tight. Little "Miss Independent" only wants to feed herself. She prefers things she can just pick up but she'll attempt to use a spoon. It is hilarious. She can get it in her mouth but it may end up everywhere else first. And, she refuses to leave a bow in!

This picture cracks me up. I guess I need to put these play clothes up as it appears they no longer fit. She loves her chair and spends a ton of time sitting in her chair and then standing up. Then back down again. And, the scratch on McNeill's face is from herself. She was fighting having her diaper changed and ended up scratching herself.






We had brunch a few weeks ago at Kinnery and Luke's. This picture is of the 4 babies. 3 of them were born in March and one in June. We are so blessed to have friends with children the same age. Quinn looks like quite the player in this picture. His head is leaning over on Hadley and he and McNeill are holding hands.



McNeill's favorite thing is bath time. She would stay in there all day if you would let her. She loves to kick and splash. I can't wait to see her in the pool this summer.







She loves her baby dolls. In this picture she is trying to get the baby to suck its thumb. Always makes me laugh. She spent 30 minutes the other night putting her baby doll in and out of the seat of her elmo airplane.



This picture was from a shower at our house last weekend. DA and Charlie showed up with the same shirt on and Drew had the same shirt upstairs so he put it on for a picture...



This was her before school on Valentine's Day. Look at those sleepy eyes!!



She has gotten really hard to photograph...none of these are that good of a picture but I think they are funny....especially if you knew what I had to go through to get these.









And, McNeill is finally getting another tooth! It is the one beside her left front tooth. Maybe that is why she slept til 8:30 this morning.
