Nana's Visit

Here are a few pictures from Nana's visit this week. She and Jim just returned from a two week cruise along the Baltic, so she came to town to take Brandon and LM to dinner for their birthdays!

Nana layed out all the new clothes she brought for LM...Lauren Margaret approves and so does her Mommy :) Between Nana and Grandmommy, this little girl stays looking pretty cute! Thank you!

On July 27th, our friends Lauri and Casey Griffith welcomed Olivia Ann into the world. I got to go see them at the hospital and hold the little cutie. She's beautiful and looks like her Mama!

Dear Mr. Sandman

Dear Mr. Sandman,

Please sprinkle some of your magic dust on my little angel. She's having such a hard time going to bed these days. We used to just lay her down and she was out in a minute or less. Then, she started crawling and standing up and...well...now we are not so lucky. Please whisper in her ear and tell her that we love her and will be right there when she wakes up in the morning. If this doesn't work soon, she may be doing more sleeping like this...(on the floor after she passes out from playing). Thank you!

Sincerely,
LML's Mom and Dad

And, She's Off!

Well, it looks like Might Mouse is officially on the move! She has been rocking and scooting on her tummy for the last few weeks, but this week she figured out how to put it all together. That being said, she has acquired several bumps/bruises over the last few days. She's just so quick and seems to bump into everything. She even managed to crawl up the bumpers in her crib to a standing position. Then, she quickly fell and got a pretty good shiner on her forehead...just in time for her 6 month pictures next week...hopefully the photographyer has PhotoShop...I think we'll need it! Who does that at 6 months? Mighty Mouse, that's who! Needless to say, the bumpers are gone! I guess we got 6 months of good use out them. I put them in the living room to make a little soft fence around her when she's playing. She quickly figured out that it was more fun outside the play area and began crawling over the bumpers. If she could talk she'd definitely be saying, "Mommy, don't fence me in." I think I'm just trying to find a way to use them since they are so darn cute. Here's an action video of her first moves! Maybe she'll be a stunt woman one day!
