Anne Bailey's First Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we are so blessed to have our baby girl here. We are so thankful that she is healthy and happy. She brings so much joy to our lives and we are loving every moment with her.

Anne Bailey had a great time celebrating her first Thanksgiving. She got lots of attention and enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Unfortunately she was a little under the weather but she really was a trooper being draggged all over Tupelo.

We started the day out by visiting my grandmother at the hospice house. Next we headed to Perry and Judy's house to have Thanksgiving lunch with Ruff's family. After that we headed to my uncle Jimmy's house for dessert with my family. I had lots of family in town visiting my grandmother so it was nice to see all of them and let them meet Anne Bailey. Here are a few pics from the week.

We started out Thanksgiving week by spending some time with the Carr Family.

Albert was so funny with Anne Bailey.

On Saturday, Ruff and I went to Oxford to the egg bowl while Anne Bailey spent the night with DD and Big Mike. We were so excited for the dawgs to win. Here is Anne Bailey before the game cheering on the dawgs!

Playdate with Tatum

While Ruff was out of town Wednesday night Anne Bailey and I went over to Lauren's house for dinner. Laura and Tatum Dabbs were in town visiting her parents so they also came over so the babies could have a playdate. Anne Bailey and Tatum are about a week apart so Laura and I have really enjoyed comparing stories over the last few weeks. Anne Bailey and Tatum were so good considering we kept them out past their bedtimes. They were so cute just staring at each other and smiling. I know that when they can really play they are going to have so much fun together. Lauren, Laura, and I also had a great time talking and enjoying a great dinner.

Look at those sweet faces

A Birthday Party for Friends

On Sunday we drove to Clinton to celebrate Kennedy and Mary Morgan's 2nd birthday. Anne Bailey loved watching all the older kids play on the playground and jump in the bouncy house. She can't wait until she can join in on the fun.

So sleepy after a long day

After the party we had a sleepover at the Rowland's house. The Newman's also stayed so Anne Bailey and Audrey Grace had lots of play time while the older kids ran around. The grownups also a great time talking and catching up.

The next morning

Anne Bailey is 3 months old

Today Anne Bailey turned 3 months old. Time is flying by way to fast but we are having so much fun watching her grow. Everyday we are amazed at the new things she can do. We are so in love with her and feel truly blessed to be her parents.

Anne Bailey is sleeping about 12-13 hours at night with one feeding at about 5:30 or 6:00 in morning. She takes about 3 naps a day. Her favorite activities include eating, playing on her play gym, standing up(with our help), reading books, watching Baby Einstein, watching football(especially State and the Titans), going for walks and rolling over. Her only dislike is when we try and burp her halfway thru her bottle. She does not like her meal interrupted.

Audrey Grace Comes To Visit

Laura and Audrey Grace came to Tupelo to visit yesterday. We had so much fun watching the girls play together. Audrey Grace is the cutest thing and was talking like crazy. Anne Bailey thought she was funny and smiled at her so big. They are only 10 weeks apart so I know they are going to have so much fun growing up together. I am just sad that they live 3 hours away.

This picture is funny

I had to throw this picture in. This is from their last visit when Audrey Grace was 13 weeks and Anne Bailey was 3 weeks. They have both grown so much since then.
