10 on Tuesday

Well, it has been a long time. I will try to sum up some recent happenings into a 10 on Tuesday.

1. Yesterday was our annual Memorial Day cookout with the Watfords. I didn't even get out my camera.




2. Speaking of cameras... I am so behind on taking pictures. I think these last two months I have stayed so busy with other people's pictures that I haven't taken the time to do my own family's.




3. This past weekend my Aunt Bo and Uncle Mike came to visit. And I took a total of 4 pictures... :(




4. Harrison is now 6 months old. I need to work on his photos soon.




5. This is my last week of school. PRAISE the Lord!




6. Ava is going to be participating in a cheer leading camp next week. I pray that she does well and doesn't give them too much trouble. I can't wait to see her perform at the end of camp.




7. Harrison now has 2 teeth on bottom. I do believe that Gripe Water is a lifesaver. He has slept through the night for the last 3 nights (and it has been a while since that happened).




8. Ava has been a real pain lately. I miss my sweet baby girl instead of this rude little gal.




9. I have been yearning to scrapbook lately and have just ordered some new supplies.




10. My mom is coming to visit next week.
    

At the park

I took these photos a few weeks ago when I took the kids to the park. Harrison enjoyed strolling and Ava enjoyed playing at the playground. She still refuses to go down the "big slide," but always climbs up and looks around.

Happy Birthday, Nana!

I've been bad about keeping up with birthdays on the blog. But since I had this recent picture, it reminded me that today is Nana's birthday! Happy Birthday, Nana! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.

My First Mother's Day with Two...

Here are some photos from my first Mother's Day with both Ava and Harrison. It started off with a nice breakfast, had a crazy photo shoot in the middle, and ended with a nice Filet Mignon and baked potato. Great day and I got to spend it with the ones I love.

Can't you tell that she loves photo shoots...

Mother's Day Trip to KY

Last week we ended up out of school for 4 days due to flooding in the county. Ava, Harrison, and I enjoyed our time together and on Friday we headed up to KY to surprise my mom and dad with a visit.

It was Harrison's first night away from home and with him being such a horrible sleeper, it was a very unpleasant night. We did have a nice visit and Ava and Harrison got to spend time with Grammy and Gramps and also with my two grandmothers. Harrison had never met Mammaw, so he finally got a chance to see her. He also got a chance to meet his Uncle Nick Knock.

We stayed just the one night, but had a great visit.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

Harrison at 5 months

Here's a look at Harrison at 5 months-

• No surprise here, but he is a good eater. He currently eats rice cereal and oatmeal. He also eats bananas, applesauce, green peas, squash, green beans, and carrots. He detests peaches.



• He has a funny, staggering crawl.



• He always tugs at his ear while nursing. The doctor says that it's clear, but he still pulls it. Sometimes he falls asleep with it in his hand.



• He is a COMPLETE Momma's boy. He is not content to let me leave the room.



• When I walk into a room, he tries to swim towards me.



• He is becoming more content to crawl and play for a bit on your own.



• He is very interested in Ava's toys.



• He likes to pull hair.



• He tries to grab EVERYTHING. Most recently, it was handful of spaghetti off of my plate.



• His favorite toys are his "noodle" and his chewing giraffe.



• He is squeezing into 9 month clothes, but fits more comfortably into 12 month clothes.



• Size 3 diapers



• Size 4 shoes



• He loves having his bottom gums rubbed.

Everyday Life

Just some recent everyday life shots.

This was Ava before we left for Nana's one morning. You can't see that she has 3 ponytails and she is wearing lip gloss. She loves to smear on her Ariel and Princess and the Frog lipstick.

When our washing machine broke, we were without a washer for about 4 days. They were the longest days ever. I am so thankful for this invention.

Straight up Momma's boy

Loving the bubble wrap

Note the fashionable hair style

Loving some sweet baby feet!

She said that she "worked hard" and needed grilled cheese and tomato soup.

You can barely see his road rash that he gets from crawling. Plus he has this beautiful slobber blister.

When he gets into her bed, he makes a beeline for the stuffed animals.

Here are a couple of videos of Harrison crawling...Big Boy!

A Few Recent Photos

I am sooooo far behind right now. The end of April/beginning of May is the busiest time of year for me. I have been so busy with photo shoots and school that I have rarely picked up the camera. Harrison has turned 5 months old so I need to make a list of all of his new doings and post some pics of him. Just haven't had a chance. To hold you over, here are a few recent snaps.

This is just a crazy picture of what our house always looks like: Mess!

On Harrison's 5 month birthday, he ate carrots for the first time. They were a hit!
