an update in pictures...

hi love=) i have several batches of pictures from the past month or two that i need to show you. so here we go... remember when we went to charleston in february for your ct scan how you got a fever in the hotel the night before your appointment?? well here you are at 2:30 in the morning when i got back from searching for a 24-hour drug store that had children's motrin and a thermometer...just hanging out like nothing's going on and it's normal to be awake at 2:30am with a fever.

one of your favorite things to do since it's gotten warmer is blow bubbles on the porch...

these are from the first clemson baseball game we went to. the first one is when you spotted the tiger mascot across the bleachers and you were trying to decide if you were scared of him or not...then you got over it and had a blast! i love your sassy ponytail and i love that you're staying hydrated in the heat=) the last one is of you lounging at our post-game tailgate with lance and rachel.

the next two pictures have no connecting theme except that daddy is in both of them. the first one is of you two giving each other "monkey kisses" (you two pretend like you're kissing each other like different animals and you think it's hilarious) and the other is of daddy and me on our anniversary.

here you are wearing mommy's glasses. letting you do that is probably not the best decision i've ever made as a mama, but look how cute you are!!!!!

one of our favorite places to go is clemson's botanical gardens. we have actually never been when it was warm and flowers are blooming, but we like to walk around and see the ducks and play on the train...

and this is just a random happy moment caught on the couch=)

i have no idea what you're pointing or laughing at, but i think this is pretty funny.

don't be fooled. you were VERY happy on the couch with violet and your cheez-its.

our friend stacey came to see us this week! he was daddy's roommate all 4 years of college and we kind of planned the date of our wedding around when he could be there. i tell you this just to give a hint of how much we love him=) he and his sweet wife ronna are expecting a baby girl this summer, and i asked if you would help teach him how to play with little girls. this is what you had in mind when it comes to teaching him what little girls like to do...

last night you were playing in your room by yourself, and after i realized you had been down there quiet for a while, i figured you were either pooping in your pants or getting into trouble. but shame on mommy. there were no messes on the carpet in your room or in your undies, and this is what we saw when you emerged...

i love you sweet baby. you fill our home with such fun memories=)
