14 Months!

I cannot believe we are already at 14 months. Blakely is walking SO great now. There is no stopping her these days. We have really been seeing a huge improvement with her vocabulary too! Here is a list of words she is saying:

Babee-raffe

bye bee- bye bye

daddddy

momma

zizi

baby

hiiii (to EVERYONE at the grocery store...)

Mimi (sorry Kaki...)

dog

There are more but for some reason they aren't coming to me right now!

I had to buy another gate for the bottom of the stairwell. Our little monkey has figured out how to climb and that ottoman didn't stand a chance once she got the confidence thing going with walking. 

We never went to the aquarium, we went to the lake instead. Here are some pictures from the weekend. We are gonna plan that trip for a little while later when she is just a little bigger!

Weekend at home!

We had such a great weekend just being lazy at home. We ordered in pizza on Friday and started a movie watching marathon! Saturday we went to Trussville for a while to visit Mema, Mimi & Gran but first stopped by their park.  It is such a great park if you haven't ever been! They have another area over there that has a water section where buckets of water empty out and kids can just run around. I cannot wait to take Blakely there next year (or this year if she starts walking really well). We have had such an advance on her walking since last Thursday night. She walked about 5 feet and since then we see spirts of independent walking all the time.

As for Sunday, we didn't leave the house. We just watched movies all day and played with the little dude. LOVE days like this every now and again!

This weekend we are planning on going to the Georgia aquarium!!! Can you tell I'm excited?

Excited for Pizza!

At the Park

Dinner Time

I finally found a veggie that Blakely will eat. I don't think I have had corn on the cob in over 15 years prior to Publix having a super steal on it. I sure am glad I tried it! 

Blakely has been saying so many words lately! I am loving watching her grow these days. She gives so much love back to us now! 

Lake Fun

I'm sad to report that I didn't take many pics this weekend =( I did snap a few in my latest creation though. I just got a new embroidery machine-yay! and I'm learning how to use it. This little jellyfish was my first solo attempt. Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. I made an Auburn outfit just like this one & I'm in love with it! I'll post pics soon of that one!

Oh and I must tell everyone-Blakely officially LOVES 'swimming' in the lake now! YAY!!! She did so great this weekend just floating around. We kept her down there one time for around one & a half hours and she loved every second of it! I can't tell you how happy that made me! I even dunked her under water and she didn't even cry. Such a breakthrough!

Happy Birthday America!

What an awesome weekend! Our little family stayed home and soaked up every second of this three day weekend together! Gray went to the beach and so we got to keep Rezy! (and then Gaby on Saturday & Sunday!) Here are some pictures that can speak of the weekend way better than words!

Good Morning & Happy 4th of July!

Celebrating the 4th with Mimi & Gran

Pizza and Yogurt!

Eating at Donatos Pizza & loving every bite!

 It's offical, like mother like daughter...Poor baby LOVES sweets! We took her to 31 degrees at the summit & it was love at first bite! She couldn't get enough...
