Pumpkin Patch

One of my favorite things to do each fall is go to the pumpkin patch. Last year, I found out I was pregnant right before our annual trip and I remember thinking about how great it was going to be to come back with our sweet baby. We usually go to Burt's and we tried to again this year but it was just miserable. Since Burt's is so far away from our house we decided to try a new place near Athens.

It was awesome.

Instead of having all the pumpkins together, they're still sitting on the vines.

Alaina thought the vines were really cool. And then she tried to eat them.

She wasn't so sure about the pumpkins themselves. She kept touching them and then pulling her hand away and looking at us.

We took a million pictures and tried to get her to smile but she only looked at us like we were crazy. As soon as I lowered the camera she would smile and giggle again!

Finally on our way out to the car I caught a couple of her smiling at us.

Overall it was a wonderful trip and I can't wait to go back again next year!

The Sullivans

I just learned of this family recently and my heart is breaking for this new father and newborn baby girl who have just lost their wife and mother. I can not even begin to imagine what they are going through right now. Please keep Brady & Chloe in your prayers as they deal with their new reality.

Happy Monday

One of my favorite times of the day is when I'm getting Alaina up and ready to go. She's such a happy baby in the morning! I love peering over the edge of her crib to see her smiling back at me. This morning she was especially friendly and was smiling in her sleep.



Then we get up and change out of our pj's and into a super cute outfit. The hardest part is picking which one to wear for the day!

We spend the majority of our morning eating breakfast...no pictures needed of that though! After breakfast it's off to the swing to hang out for a few minutes while mommy packs the diaper bag. It should have been packed last night but football was on!



Here we are all buckled up and ready to go to Aunt Hailey's! She's still not so fond of the carseat unless it's moving...

I hope that you are having a wonderful Monday morning!

Love,

Stephanie & Alaina

Baby Dedication

Last night was Alaina's dedication at church. It was an incredible moment that we give Him all the glory for. During the dedication, she decided to show off her nice healthy lungs! All in all, she didn't do too badly considering she never had a nap on Sunday. We both just feel so blessed to have our baby girl home with us!

It's only fair

Since I posted pictures of my baby girl in her Gator gear last week, it's only fair that I post a picture of her in her Georgia gear this week. She was a good little cheerleader for daddy's team yesterday!

The clouds parted and angels sang

I am doing a happy dance this morning because my baby girl slept ALL night last night! When the alarm went off it took me a few minutes to realize that it was 4:15 and not the middle of the night. Once I did, I was so giddy I could barely contain myself. It was such a treat to sleep 6 hours straight! I hope that your Friday morning is every bit as spectacular as mine!!!

Game Day Baby

This weekend was the start of college football and what a great day it was! Well, for me at least. Daddy's team...not so much. I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of my sweet girl in her game day gear. My dad bought her this stuff last Christmas and I've been anxiously awaiting the day that I could put her in it...thank you Pops!
