Waiting for Plane...

Playing in my cousin Murphy's room with DeDe and Mommy!

This one was taken by my sister in law after our second flight was messed up. We ended up going over to there house to play with Murphyman and she wanted to live in his exersaucer! His is that baby einstein one and has so many more things to do than hers at home! I am sure she was like, i have been getting jipped at home on my exersaucer!!! I love her sticking her tongue out, i am sure it is at Northwest Airlines too!

Ready for the Slopes

This week Graydon has been skiing in Aspen, Colorado with some buddies and we miss him sooooo much! Last week Allie Harris started crying when he would leave the room! She is already such a daddy's girl. How cute! To keep him up to date and so he won't be sad, we send him pics of Allie Harris each day. Here are my favorite ones. She is all dressed up in her funky outfit and fluffy hat ready to hit the slopes and shop til we drop in Aspen! All you have to say is Dada and she grins from ear to ear! Hope you enjoy!

Ready for Aspen!

Wait a minute, your telling me I have to go outside in the freezing cold? I love this bright outfit and her big ole hat. She misses her dad who is skiing right now, so we sent him some pics showing him that she is soooo ready for the slopes when she gets old enough! I know i am a little biased but i think she looks so flipping cute i could just eat those big cheeks up!

Okay, I am ready for the slopes of Aspen! Do you think my outfit is posh enough? I am trying to make a statement! Can't wait to learn to ski very soon!

My First Spoon Feeding!!!

Okay, so i know i look goofy but you will do anything to make things seem fun! The first few times she kept turning her head away but eventually she got it down.

She caught on quick (imagine that!). If it has to do with food she is so on top of it! My silly hand is blocking her mouth but she got most of it in, kinda!

Here is our video from allie harris's first spoon feeding. We got the tail end so it is pretty funny because she gets upset when i take it away from her! She did so well and we can't wait to try it again. Maybe in the next few weeks we'll try squash or something like that... She is growing up too fast, but i do love that she recognizes us and laughs at us all the time. Enjoy!

Hanging Out

Watching football saturday with her Dibs. Even though the colts lost, we were all excited that our Giants won the next day! She loves to watch football...

My dad is soooo funny! Allie Harris is so in love with Graydon, he walks in a room and she smiles and follows him around. Uh oh, sounds like i am going to get pushed to the side! Now i know how my mom felt when I would be like, "Daddy..." And I would always get my way! Payback should be great!

Amazed by my jumperoo...

The Christening Weekend

This weekend our little Allie Harris Flowers received the Sacrament of Baptism at First United Methodist Church in Clarksdale. I think she knew she was queen of the day, because she was so excited and happy all morning. Not to mention how perfect she was during the whole ceremony and afterwards at the party for her. People asked us if we slipped something to her before we got to the church! Really it is that she is just laid back like her dad! It was such a happy emotional experience for us. I was so nervous and holding back tears, then her nanny Aubrey sang a christian lullaby and i lost it. Tears were everywhere! It was beautiful. We want to say a big thank you to everyone who put Allie Harris in their thoughts and prayers this weekend during her special time. We are so fortunate to have family and friends surrounding us everywhere! Love you all and Sorry there are not many pics, we got so caught up in the day we almost didn't get these!

The Christening

Here with mom and dad about to fall asleep after showing out for everyone. Her dress is an heirloom handmade dress and bonnett by Mela Wilson. She did an incredible job! It is made of swedish batiste and antique french lace. The bonnett made me laugh because it is supposed to be fitted but Dibs and DeDe kinda thought she looked like an Amish baby...I can see that.

I am so upset this picture cuts off her gorgeous long handmade gown! We got so busy we didn't get a lot of pictures! She is soooooo tired here, she was such a trooper though. Of course she did great, didn't cry at all and just looked around the church the whole time! Then at the after party she was just as good, just sleepier...But made it through the whole thing fine, and without getting a single thing on her dress! Amazing!

Here with Callie, one of Allie Harris's Godparents. All four, Gene, Bradley, Amelia and Callie were able to make it! We were so excited! We were about to chow down on shrimp and grits at my in-laws house at the party honoring Allie Harris. We had such a great time and are so touched by all those who could attend. Thank you for everything!

Doctors Visit

Allie Harris went to her 4 month check up on wednesday (even though she is 19 weeks old) and she did great. She is healthy as an ox, which we already knew, but were glad to hear it anyway! She is 27, yes you read right, 27 inches long! Takes after her dad in that department... And she weighs 15 pounds even. I think her cheeks are half of her weight! She had to get four shots and cried for a bit, but not for too long and then she started smiling again. I laughed so hard because she is OFF the charts on her height! Her christening is this weekend, so we will post new pics of that as soon as we get them. Have a wonderful day!

Ready for the Cold

So it has finally gotten cold enough (19 degrees!) to wear our precious Ski hat that LaLa and Harry got made on their trip to the Baltic Area in Europe this past summer. She was sporting her hat and staring at the huge fire in the fire place. She kept leaning towards it when i was holding her, that is not a good sign! She likes fire, great that is really safe!

My hilarious nephew!

This is without a doubt my favorite picture of my nephew Murphy! How great is that face!

Two very tired people!

We had such a wonderful time in knoxville, but were pretty worn out after all of our gift opening! This was right before bed christmas night, dreading the ride home of almost 8 hours!

Allie Harris Playing

I don't know why but i just love this face! Were just playing in the den...

So stylish in her new pink and brown ourfit from the Haslams for christmas. And i just had to put her new pinks boots from my mom on her to finish the outfit perfectly!!!

Her new rainforest bouncer from LaLa and Harry, she loves all her new toys. I think she is a little overwhelmed at all her options! She can turn around and bounce up and down in this one.

Playing on her new tummy time spin toy from DeDe and Dibs. She tries to eat everything she grabs on the bottom part of the toy...

Sitting upright in her bumbo seat. She has really good head control and will sit up on my lap or in her boppy (kinda!) Aunt Meghan gave her this sweet outfit!

All in the Family

Sabrina with murphy playing with some of their new gifts. The babies loved miss sabi!

My brother Walker and his mini-me Murphy! Meg and I always joke about how ungrateful those babies are, all we did is carry and deliver them and they don't look a thing like us! He is such a precious dad!

Auntie Meg and AH give big hugs to each other!

Allie Harris's best bud, her grandmother DeDe! I love going home because mom likes to give us a break and take the monitor in her room so we can sleep!!! But then i would wake up before Allie Harris most of the time because she sleeps soooooo long... Mom and Dad were so excited because all their chickens were home and it was honestly the best gift ever. We had a great time and miss them already...

Sabrina finally got to meet the babies! Wes had met them before but this christmas they were able to come and we ALL got to be together for the first time in forever! It was so much fun having her in knoxville for the holidays!

This is a priceless pic because this is my adorable, incredible 98 1/2 year old grandfather with two of his four great grandchildren. He is doing great and i think he had a good time?!

Our First Merry Christmas!

Just watching some football...

Now these two look a little more alike! They are so cute together, she still looks tiny when he holds her! That is her favorite spot to sit.

okay, so i know this will make some of you crack up because i am so gulity of buying matching pajamas for Allie Harris and myself! Don't worry i didn't make Graydon match, too! She Slept so well we had to go and get her up to see Santa's presents! This pic shows you how much we do not look alike! She is graydon to a T!

Allie Harris and Murphy together Again!

Our first christmas together! We are so festive!

Look how handsome! Murphy is the sweetest little boy in the world, I just want to eat him up!w

Here they are at their second gathering! They are the cutest cousins ever! They just giggle and smile, we are all so blessed to have such good little babies who love everyone they meet! This is at dibs and dede's house in knoxville, tennessee before christmas...
