Memorial Day - Atlanta Zoo
Mary Lee was down for a nap yesterday morning. Griff and I were discussing what we wanted to do for Memorial Day since he was off, and I am of course off for summer! Well, the next thing we knew, we had a hotel booked in Atlanta. We headed to Atlanta Sunday afternoon. We got a great deal on the Hilton through Hotwire and were very happy with the hotel. Sunday night, we checked in and headed out to eat at Copeland's. Copeland's is one of my favorite restaurants, but since it left Birmingham, I don't remember the last time I ate there, and the spinach and artichoke dip with bowtie pasta is amazing! After eating, Griff and Mary Lee took a quick swim in the pool, and we went to bed. Monday morning, we headed to the Atlanta Zoo! We all had a great time!

8 Months Old
Another month old...I can't believe it! Mary Lee is doing great! She is just the sweetest baby, and we are in awe of her every single day! Here are some things we want to remember about
our sweet girl at 8 months old:
- How much you love your puffs
- The way you sleep on your tummy with your cute butt sticking up in the air
- The way you have started to take steps with help from Mommy and Daddy
- How your feelings get hurt when other babies cry at daycare
- The way you say "Da Da Da Da" ALL the time
- The way you laugh when Mommy tries to get you to say "Ma Ma", but you won't say it
- How unbelievably sweet you are
- The way you immediately try to eat your books when we read to you
- The way you LOVE to splash in the bathtub or pool
Here is a video of Mary Lee "riding" in the car with Daddy...she LOVES to do this!

Beach Baby
Mary Lee went on her first beach trip this past weekend! We went with the Guice crew (G Pop, Lolly, Uncle Tay, and Uncle Ty). We were blessed to be able to stay at the Phoenix West...It was sooooooo nice! We had an amazing condo, lazy river, slide, and pool. Mary Lee was an ANGEL and was so very happy on the trip. She LOVED, LOVED being in her float and going around the lazy river...she would go for an hour or so at a time! I even fed her bottles in the float on the lazy river! We did take some time to get some cute pictures so enjoy...

7 Months Old
That's right, my baby girl is over half way to a year! Mary Lee is just the best little girl...goodness we love her so very much! It seems that Mary Lee has grown and changed so much from 6 months to 7 months. We have had some ups and downs during this month of her life. The biggest UP is that Daddy finished his surgery rotation!!!!!! This means that we actually get to see him now, and we are LOVING that! A major DOWN is that Mary Lee has had a very bad ear infection in both ears...YUCK! She is presently on an antibiotic, so hopefully her ears will be cleared up soon. We will go get them checked again in about a week. Here are a few pictures and then below of course will be a list of things we want to remember about Mary Lee at 7 months old!
Beautiful Eyes
Hanging out in my PJs
Attacking my turtle
Strolling with Daddy
Beautiful
I now want to hold my bottle by myself ALL of the time
Not feeling so great with an ear infection but
hanging out with Squirt from Nemo...Look at those pitiful eyes!
Things we want to remember about Mary Lee at 7 months old:
- The way you immediately grab your bottle and put it in your mouth when you see it. You still have not quite figured out that you must tilt it once it gets low, but we are ok with that because it means you still need Mommy and Daddy to give you a bottle.
- The way you talk all of the time saying "Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba" and "Da-da-da-da-da"
- The way when we try to get you to crawl, you seem dis-interested and get very frustrated that you can't quite do it yet
- How many different positions you are in when we get you out of your crib in the morning
- The way you pant when we are feeding you and don't put it in your mouth fast enough (Your teachers at daycare even asked us if we had a dog you were imitating, and we said "Nope, the girl just LOVES to eat!")
- The way you are becoming so fascinated and curious about the world
- The way you immediately stand up when we hold your hands
- They way you violently shake your toys and bang on your books when we are reading them to you
Mary Lee, you continue to amaze us! You truly are a beautiful, sweet, smart, talkative, funny, loving little girl, and Mommy and Daddy are blessed to call you our daughter! WE LOVE YOU!

Happy Easter!
Today we celebrated Easter! In all of the busyness of the day, I did take time to think, pray, and talk to Mary Lee about the true reason we celebrate Easter! Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for a sinner like me...The ultimate love story! The good news is that it did not end with His death! He indeed is ALIVE, and as I told Mary Lee this morning...He lives inside of you and me!
