Baby, It's cold outside!

We have had a cold snap this past week! I guess everybody has really.

So here is Sarah all bundled up!

My First Snow!

Mommy and Daddy with Sarah in the back yard. We tried to get her to hold a snowball, unsuccessfully! Oh well, I guess we have to save some things for later.

Sitting Pretty

Sarah is still not rolling over but doing very well at sitting up by herself. She really likes things that crinkle so I gave her this bag of frozen spinach. She like to make it make noise.

Popeye doesn't stand a chance of getting this spinach!

Eat this! You've got to be kidding me! Cereal Smear-eal!!

GO JOHNNY GO-O GO-O! Gaa Gaa!

This is where I hang out when mom is busy upstairs!

Daddy and me love to laugh and play together. He was tickling my chin with the pillow fringe.

Well, I hope everyone is having such a fun start to the new year as me. Love Sarah

Happy New Year!

We hope that everyone had a safe and happy end to 2008 and pray these things for 2009!
New Year's Eve Day is Brian's birthday so we always celebrate that too! We had a few friends from church over and had a great time. New Year's Day we headed to Greenville so Brian, Brad, and Jim could all meet up and go camping. Here are some beautiful photos Brian took from Cheoah bald. It was very cold, but they all had a great time. Sarah and I stayed in Greenville with Monica and we had a great time too - shopping, watching movies, visiting Melba, and just hanging out!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We hope that everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday. Here are some pics for you to enjoy!










Sarah was so fun to watch! She loved to rip the paper (and chew on it)!





Christmas at G. Monica's & G. Jim's

Aunt Coy Beth held Sarah while I helped her go through her stocking. Brian was taking pictures.

My family came in to spend Christmas at our house. We had a wonderful time. Sarah with G. Darrie & G. Scott.

Toes,Toes, Toes

Sarah's latest passion seems to be her toes. She is changing so fast. We are now beginning the transition to her nursery. She is really only eating once during the night now and when Brian gets up for work it is starting to disturb her sleep so we decided it was time. She is doing great too, except this week but that was because she had her shots. The doctor report is good she is 16lb 3oz now and about 25 1/2 " long and we believe she is in the beginning stages of teething. Hope that everyone is enjoying the Holidays. We will definitely have a Christmas update. There is definitely something about having a baby all the time that makes you really appreciate Mary and the fact that Christ humbled himself so much so that He could become man and take our place on the cross. Merry Christmas!

She loves to hold and feel things now. What a grin.

Momma and Sarah.

Happy Thanksgiving

Sarah is smiling so much now. This is her first attempt at sitting on her own about 3 weeks ago.
She is working on it but doing so much better. She also is beginning to stand with support. Along with that sometime this week she found out she could scream and has been letting us know it.


Left: All bundled up for the cold, we had just run outside to the mailbox real quick and when we came back in she fell asleep. Just a precious picture in her adult sized hat. Right: Aunt Coy Beth and Uncle Brad came up for the day to spoil their neice. We had a good time.


We spent Thanksgiving in Birmingham, AL with Brian's dad and family. We ate so much good food and I had lots of willing babysitters. Below: Sarah is chewing on everything now and found this Mountain Dew bottle. She love bright colors and anything that can fit in her mouth so she found the perfect toy. And no, she did not get a sample of the Dew.

Three Months Old Today

Happy 3 months old, Sarah!

This is Sarah's 3 month birthday. It is amazing the change in just 3 months. She is so vocal with coos, caas, goos, & gaas. She is so much more alert and interactive. When I am on the phone she really likes to join in the conversation too! She is trying to sit up though she can't balance on her own yet (but she is close). Today she figured out how to pull the cord on one of her toys so that it makes a noise. In late October we went on another trip to Knoxville where Sarah got to meet her Great Aunt Laurie and Great Uncle Kelly. It was so good to see them. It had been so long. She also dressed up in her TENNESSEE Orange - still a loyal fan regardless of performance. Well, that's it for now - more later.
