Give 'em the Stink Eye Gray!!

Gray has been looking in the mirror and doing different faces, then laughs at herself. But this one takes the cake! Now she does it all the time, almost on command because we all laugh so hard! Allie Harris tried to do her best impression but had a hard time not laughing while doing it! She kinda looks like popeye?! Too cute!

You talkin' to me??
I SAID...You talkin' to me??!

About to laugh, but still trying to give the stink eye...

Rosy lips trying to do the same, not quite the same effect!

Finally broke down laughing!

Every night during our prayers the first thing Allie Harris says, "Dear Jesus, thank you for my baby sister!" Then she goes through everyone and everything else she is thankful for but ALWAYS says her baby sister first:)

Both doing the face. Allie Harris also thought she would attempt to sit in the bumbo chair...and got stuck.

Come one Gray, you can do it!!

Hi!!! Look at this sweet smile, baby blues and long lashes:) She is amazing!

Our family happenings:)

FINALLY a family photo that isn't that bad! For those of you who have kids you know how hard it is to get an actual picture, so these turned out pretty decent and we are thankful for that. So much has been going on recently with Gray, it is like each week is a milestone. She is 6 months and weighs approximately 13lbs 13 oz and 25 inches long. This puts her in the little peanut category of the 10th and 25th percentiles respectively:) Allie Harris was always over the 100th percentile so needless to say they are different which is awesome! Gray is sitting up on her own and her official first word was Dada. So adorable to hear her babble. She is sleeping about 12 hours a night and takes great naps for right now. I know this could change at anytime, but am soaking it up for now!!! Allie Harris on the other hand has really grown up a lot lately. She has always been a loving little girl but now she will just stop doing whatever she is doing for a second and always tell you, Hey, Mommy, I love you. (or whoever she is spending time with) I love that she is so aware of telling us and other family and friends that. My mom said if AH told me once, she told me 100 times, DeeDee, I love you so much. Melts your heart! We also traveled to Nashville to visit my cousin Rachel and her hubby Chip, where we had a blast! Adorably pregnant Meghan came and kept her nieces while Rach and I went to run the 5k together. Thanks so much, Meghan and we can't wait to meet Miss Benton soon!!!

My beautiful family (I am partial!)
Shadows are bad but I don't even care because we got one all together!

Visiting Graydon grandfather on his 90th birthday! He was having such a good day, recognized and spoke to everyone, even the little ones! What a blessing! He is truly amazing and we are so glad we got to have some quiet, quality time with just Amelia, Julie, Gaines and us. Perfect!

She looks so much like her Papa Flowers it cracks me up!

LOVE this one:)

Sits up all by herself, such a big girl!

Our beautiful, sweet, amazing daughters!!! I cannot believe we have two daughters! They are such a joy and such blessings every second of every day!

Giving little sister some love...

Cheese!

Ole Miss Black Bears?? Mom, you're too funny. She loves her Col. Reb:)

We had an amazing long weekend trip to Nashville to visit my sweet cousin Rachel and her husband Chip. We had a blast and can't wait to go back soon! The girls had so much fun too and slept well, which makes or breaks a trip! And my wonderful Mommy came over for a night so we could go to a movie with them and she could visit with her granddaughters:)

The late night that got a few of us the next day...But all worth it!

After running the Susan G. Komen 5K which was a great idea. Rach and I really got to talk about all sorts of stuff:) Miss you!

More Birthday Parties and family time:)

The weather has turned a little mild which has made the weekends even better! We went to a birthday party saturday morning for Allie Harris' best friend, Mary Mason Dunn. Then after I cleaned house all day (MUCH needed) Lala, Papa and Aunt Meme came over and we had family dinner of spaghetti and salad before they left for Spain! Sunday was absolutely gorgeous as well. Got up, went to sunday school and church (we had nursery which is always a hoot) then I got to go on a nice 3 mile jog while the girls napped. That evening Allie Harris helped me make dinner and she did a wonderful job! She helped me make her cheese, black bean and corn quesadilla in the skillet and helped Mommy stir and pour all the other stuff. She gobbled it up and loved it! I think it helped that she actually made it. She was so proud and told me she was such a good helper:) That she is! And this is after she had gotten in a bit of trouble for mysteriously disappearing to "clean" the toilet she says. This involved scooping the water out of the toilet by hand (hold back my vomit) and throwing it all over the floor and rugs in the bathroom and rubbing down the seat (again, trying not to vomit). THEN she thought her Dora talking back pack was thirsty so she decided to squirt a whol 33 oz bottle of water into it. FYI-the back pack is plastic and full of holes so that went everywhere:) And then being a good helper wanted to unload the dishes with me and grabbed all the plastic stuff for me. Not realizing it she grabbed a Reidel "O" Wine glass and "tossed" it to me when I wasn't looking and it shattered all over the floor by her bare feet. It was an accident and I felt so bad for that one because she really didn't mean too! Now the toilet and back pack, oh she totally meant to! Here are some pics from the weekend (too bad I forgot to take one of the bathroom). I was so grossed out I could barely contain myself...

Gray relaxing in the playroom

Mom...I think Allie Harris might be crazy! AH loves to play and love on Gray, it is so adorable!

My little photagrapher, Allie Harris, taking pics and then looking at the screen saying "oh, that is so cute, let's take another one!"

Trying her hardest to sit up!! (Photo by Allie Harris) She is so much mor independent than AH was at this age, probably because we allow her to be:) Now Allie Harris could talk all day to you in understandable words, but didn't sit up until 7 1/2 months. I suspect Gray will be crawling and walking before AH did but may not have all the verbal skills AH did. But not many babies do! AH would tell you complete sentences at a year old?! What?!

And about to tump over... Gotta learn someway

Before church, sisterly love:)

Our Beautiful girls being silly

Priceless. Can we freeze time because they are growing up way too quickly:(

MOM GRAY TOOTED AND IT IS STINKY!!
Gray looks relieved!

Mary Mason's princess party with Cinderella!!!! Such a fun birthday party and all the girls had so much fun! First thing AH told Cinderella? I saw you at Disney on Ice and I am going to be you for Halloween! Adorable.
