I'm not too young to vote

I took ME to vote with me. I was so happy to have her be a part of that with me! She was such a helper and she loved her sticker.

I'm a little BEE-hind

I know I look sad, but I LOVE my pumpkin that my Grandy carved me! Thanks, G!

OK, I know that I'm getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving and I still haven't posted Halloween pix. Keep in mind that she didn't f eel well on Halloween, but here you go...

We first went to our church carnival. She was a little too young to do anything, so she crawled.

A rare moment...a picture of all 3 of us!
Later that week, we had a pumpkin carving contest with our Supper Club. Check out Cowboy Davis. Then look at Drew's TERRIBLE "sick pumpkin on the right (his lost).
These pix are actually from Halloween day when she didn't feel so well. But isn't she the cutest bee you've ever seen?
Our first trick-or-treaters! My friend Jennifer with her daughter, Paisley, dressed as Bam-Bam Flintstone.
We then went to a Halloween party at The Parrishes house. Don't know why this is turned, but this is ME with our "trashy" neighbor Lauren Huckabee.
Look at all of the kids!!!

Start spreadin' the news



Can you guess where my mommy and daddy are going today?




If you guessed by ME's shirt, Drew and I are going leaving for NYC in a few hours. On one hand, I'm so excited that I finally get to go up there. Drew's dad lives there and we've tried to plan a trip up there for the 10 years Drew and I have been together. On the other hand, I'm really sad that I will be away from our munchkin for a week! I know here grandparents aren't sad about that part, though. :) Thank you so much, LaLa, Grandy, and VeVe for taking care of ME while we're gone!


Bring on the turkey!

If you look closely, she's rubbing her tongue on her bottom lip feeling her new tooth about to pop out just in time for Turkey Day. She now has (as far as I can see) 5 teeth.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Our Heavenly Ham

Check out my cool hair do!

Is this my best side?

Bet you can't catch me.

OK, now I'm ready to pose.

I tried to capture some photos of ME tonight for her 11 month milestone and these were the "best" pictures that I could get of her. Needless to say, you can see why I am now drinking 2 Diet Cokes with CAFFEINE by lunch everyday! Although, I'm tired (which I blame mostly on work) I'm having so much fun with her. She's really starting to develop into a little lady with her personality (drama, stubbornness, playfulness). I know that Drew and I will probably say that we like every stage of her life, but I really am enjoying laughing with her and "talking" to her. We don't go to the doctor for another checkup until 1-yr.-0ld, but here are a few stats about ME:
  • She walked a few steps by herself tonight. After she realized what she was doing, she hasn't done it again.
  • She loves to play "Uh-oh"...Rules of the game: make sure everyone is looking at ME, drop an object, then ME says uh-oh, and then the adults laugh and pick up the object, repeat all the steps until you get tired.
  • She's trying more table foods. Really she sucks the juices out of the foods, then she'll drop the actual food on the floor.
