First Cereal

We gave Carter her first taste of rice cereal from a spoon (she's been getting it in a bottle for a couple of weeks). I must say, it was pretty entertaining. She thought it was funny as well! The video is not great because we are laughing so hard.

You're my blue sky. You're my sunny day!

We are back home now. Time to get back in to a routine. We get 3 month pictures made this week - better late than never!

The Beach

We went down to Ft. Morgan with my family for a few days after the Delta. It was good to go on a little vacation. It was the Bug's first beach experience, and she did beautifully! She slept all night, every night, and acted like a little angel most of the time. She even shopped at the outlet mall with her Nonna for hours with no complaining. She acts better than her mother...

Not sure what to think about all the heat and wind

Family photo - typical. I think she was over it at this point.




Eating at Tin Top! yum, yum...

The Delta

Luke's sweet grandmother - Rick Rick - passed away last week. We love her, and she will be missed! I am so glad that she got to meet Carter, and I know that she loved her. We headed to the Delta to say goodbye and be with family for a couple of days. On a lighter note, what is with the mosquitoes in the Delta? I have to hand it to you folks who live there - they put our NE Mississippi mosquitoes to shame, and I do not know how you stand it!!! I applied Off constantly while we were there - even in the car and inside. Sheesh...
the Bug ready to hit the road again.
Second stop - David's in Shelby (first stop was in Oxford at Big Bad Breakfast) - for a great hamburger and a RC Cola with some of the family.

Third stop - Holiday Inn in Cleveland - the Bug let us know that she can now get herself out of her carrier... She was pretty proud of herself.

Ready for her mid-afternoon snack

Delta storm. It was a fitting way to end our trip to the Delta.
