7 Months!

Sorry for the delay in posting. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. McNeill had her first ear infection and Drew had finals.

It seems like there is something new everyday with McNeill. She has started reaching for people (which melts my heart) and LOVES cheerios. She can also hold her own bottle very well now. This picture was taken about a month ago when she first started trying to hold her bottle. Sometimes she got a little confused... :)

And for you nurses out there...no we dont let her hold her bottle lying down.



And, this is her playing with Mrs. Katie during one of the Auburn games.





We were all so happy that the Hardison's decided to come to Birmingham last weekend! We miss them so much. We went to Davenport's and McNeill loved watching them make pizza.





And, I just thought these pictures were funny. She is such a mess!

McNeill Crawls!

Hope everyone has had a great week. McNeill is now crawling (on her forearms) and has two teeth! She won't let me take a picture of her teeth, but hopefully soon!

McNeill LOVES pressing her face up against the side of her pack and play. She looks so silly.





She is still not napping well at daycare so she usually falls asleep as soon as we get home or on the way home. Poor baby...



And, this was on one of Drew's study breaks. It is too much trouble getting both Drew and McNeill to look at the camera :)

Sally's Bday, Work, 6 Months and Football

A lot has happened since the last time I posted....

McNeill has been sick this week so she went to Arab and stayed with her grandparents for a few days. Drew and I enjoyed having date nights, but we missed her like crazy!! We took her to Arab on Monday night and were able to celebrate Sally's 70th birthday. My Aunt Sally is one of the best women I know! She is so thoughtful, ALWAYS doing things for others. We had a wonderful dinner celebrating her.




I have changed my work schedule and am now working at Alabama Pain Physicians Monday-Thursday. I miss my friends at Oak Mountain so much but I am really enjoying having all day off on Friday with McNeill!! We enjoyed our play time this Friday.




McNeill turned 6 months old on the 1st. Her check up isn't until Friday...I cant wait to see how big she is! She is babbling a lot more and is very busy. Her new favorite thing is Lucy. She just smiles at Lucy and pulls her hair. Luckily Lucy just sits there and lets her do it. When McNeill got back from Arab I think she was just as excited to see Lucy as she was us.

I had the hardest time trying to take her picture. She was more interested in the paper and eventually got it and ate it (after spitting up carrots on her dress).





And Lastly, The Laney's have a football kick-off party at their home every year. This year was extra fun with all the new kiddos! Can you tell my child spits up a lot? :)




Their expressions are classic.


These are the Arab children at the party. Owen (Matt and Kristin Fall), McNeill, Micah (Jake and Blair Kelley), and Anna Scott.


It looks like McNeill is telling Owen, "Everything will be all right."



War Eagle!!

Happy Sunday!

Anytime you make a "cow" sound McNeill puckers out her bottom lip like she is going to squall!! Maybe we are mean, but it is so cute. Just look at that sweet little lip!

White Coat Ceremony

Here are some pictures from Drew's White Coat Ceremony on August 14th.



This picture is a little awkward. We look uncomfortable, but it's really hard trying to keep McNeill still and get her to look at the camera! Nonetheless, we are so proud of Drew!!


And, of course as soon as we get home Drew takes his shirt off and Dad takes his coat off. Typical men.




Maybe I'll be a doctor one day too????

Friends with Babies

We had the opportunity to hang out with some of our friends and their babies this week. We had dinner with Scott, Mary Catherine and Anna Scott on Thursday and McNeill and I went to hang out with Emily and Jackson yesterday (missed you Stacy and Melanie!). It is so much fun having friends with babies close to the same age.

On a different note, McNeill started daycare on Monday. And yes, I cried! I know that it will be good for her because she really loves watching other people and will enjoy the stimulation, but she is not napping well. Before she started daycare, she was taking 2, two hour naps and sometimes a one hour nap later in the afternoon. Her first day she took a 5 minute nap and a 20 minute nap. Made me so sad!! By Friday, she was only there for 4 hours and she slept for 20 minutes and 30 minutes. So, hopefully we're making progress. This morning she was awake for 30 minutes and is already back asleep....poor baby!

Have a good weekend!!

Sarah's Wedding

This weekend Drew's cousin Sarah got married. She married a guy from Huntsville named Zach who is a great guy! Drew and I went to Section to spend the weekend with his grandparents. It was so nice getting to visit with everyone and Aunt Janet fed us delicious food all weekend. I'm pretty sure I gained 5 pounds! Here are some of the pictures...
