Yea Alabama!

Adam and I took Caroline to her first Alabama game last weekend. She has been tailgating in Tuscaloosa before, but never into the stadium. She had a blast!! We played MSU and won. We got to town a couple hours early to tailgate. She was so tired but the closer it got to game time the more she perked up. She kept saying, "I go to the game now." When we finally got to the stadium she was beyond excited. She would shake her shaker at everybody around us and say, "Roll tide. That's right!" She loved the blimp and pointed it out every ten minutes. She devoured a hot dog, which is a must if you want the whole Alabama experience. She learned to say "Go Bama" and "Alabama." It was such a fun day!!

Six Months Old!!!

Six Months Old - October 20, 2012

Yesterday my sweet Ann Parker turned six months old.  A half a year has come and gone.  It feels like I just had her last week but also like she has been a part of our family forever.  She is such a wonderful little girl and we are having so much fun with her.  Every day Caroline will ask for "two girls" meaning she wants me to hold both of them and then she will reach over and hold AP's hand.  So sweet.  AP is still wearing size 1 diapers.  She fits into all of her 0-3 month clothes, but is also wearing things up to size 6 month.  We have her well check up this week so we will have stats then but I know she has grown a bunch!!  She is still eating 5 times a day (7, 10, 1, 4, 7) but is now also eating three meals a day!!!  She eats oatmeal mixed with fruit after her 7 am bottle (she's actually only had pears so far and she loves them), rice cereal after her 1 pm bottle, and rice cereal mixed with a veggie after her 7 pm bottle.  She is getting mostly breastmilk, but has had some formula mixed in lately.  She sleeps from 7:30-7:30.  She is no longer swaddled at night.  She will wear long pants/sleeves or footies with a sleep sack. 

She is not sitting up by herself yet, but she is getting there.  She still loves all the things from last month and is now getting into teethers and other fun toys.  I'm going to have to start carrying around all sorts of toys again!!  She seems to love grabbing hair, which isn't so fun. 

So far we have tried peas and pears and she's done a good job.  She didn't like peas alone, but will eat them mixed with rice cereal.  She is going to have sweet potatoes tomorrow and apples later week.  I am making all her food like I did with C. 

When C turned six months old, we traveled to Charlotte, NC (it was the day before Thanksgiving).  My whole family was there and we all gave her presents and celebrated.  For AP's six month birthday we spent the day at the BSC Homecoming game and after party.  It was a beautiful day and we loved strolling our girls around our old stompin grounds :)  We figured out that if they were to go there for college (this would really apply anywhere) that they would be the class of 2032 and 2034!!  C wore a button that said '32 on it!

Ann Parker loves when her daddy sings to her.  She just might be turning into a little daddy's girl.  She is still unsure about most new people.  She is a pretty happy and content baby. 

Happy 6 Month Birthday Ann Parker!!  We love you so much.  You are such a blessing and we are so thankful you are ours!  I still cannot believe that I got lucky enough to be chosen to be your mommy.  I am so in love with you little girl.

Peas

I don't think Ann Parker loved her first taste of peas...do you?

Pumpkin Patch 2012

On Saturday we all loaded up in the car and went to Old Baker Farms Pumpkin Patch.  We had the best time!!  The weather was perfect for our adventure.

Caroline loved riding the little tractors.

They had live music - which we all loved listening to.  Caroline had a blast dancing and singing along.  I'm pretty sure she was singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" so maybe she wasn't singing along...just singing :)

 We went through the hay maze.  C had a great time saying "this way" at each turn.  When she finally found her way "out" (back at the entrance) she threw her arms up and said "Ta da!!" 

The petting zoo was a big hit, of course!

 Ann Parker and I were there too, we were just behind the camera most of the time!

They had a shoot out at the corral.  I was sure that it would scare Caroline.  Turns out, that was her favorite part!!  For hours after we left she kept talking about the shoot out!!

Cotton Picking.

Me and my sweet girls!

We went on a hayride out to the pumpkin patch to pick out the best pumpkins.

  
On the hayride back with one of our pumpkins.  Poor thing was so hot and exhausted at this point.

Good thing it was nothing that playing in some water couldn't fix!

We look forward to the delicious lemonade at the pumpkin patch each year.  I am not a lemonade drinker, but I will drink this.  Caroline stole mine and drank the whole thing herself!!

After our long, but oh so fun, day we headed to a friends house to watch the Alabama game before calling it a day.  Since it's October now, skeleton pj's are a must!

This is a picture from the following day.  I just wanted to show off my cuties in their cute little Halloween spiders shirts! 

We had such a fun day at the pumpkin patch!!
