Trying out our toddler rocker 5/31/07

Lindsay likes this rocker a lot. She can "rock" across the room on the hardwood floors to where ever she wants to go. This is another great toy from cousins' Derek & Adam.

Lindsay likes to "pat her belly" and we say "ALL DONE" when she finishes eating. This is her in the beginning of that belly pat...
This is the belly pat...it looks better on video or in person.
Another famous "tongue" picture.

A few pics from Memorial Day

Better late than never. I only took a couple pics that day. Lindsay is sporting her Old Navy 2007 Flag shirt. Mommy has a matching blue tee and Daddy has a white one. We didn't get it together enough to all wear our shirts this day though. Maybe we'll get it right on July 4th.
Lindsay had just gotten up and dressed and was really not in the mood for a photo shoot yet.
Ok....feed me please...no more photos til after breakfast!

Lindsay's Birthday Dress

Here is the dress we ordered for Lindsay's birthday photo shoot.
I tried to just post the photo but for some reason that would not work so click HERE to see it.

This website is super cute and pretty reasonable. They also have a cool blog I'm going to add to my page.

I have a great idea for her photo shoot that I think will look really cool with this dress. Stay tuned later in June for pics. We're probably going to take her to get them done on June 16 but I haven't scheduled it yet. I can't believe it's JUNE already. 19 days til Lindsay is 1!!!!!!!! Where did the time go???? This is going to be a blogger BUST month with vacation, anniversary and Lindsay's bday my blog might explode!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Lindsay's first trip to the zoo. I can't wait to take her. We have a special zoo day thru my work so it's free. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be taking her quite yet but I'm sure she'll have fun. Aunt KK and mommy are taking her while Daddy gets all his stuff done so we can head off to the beach.
I'll post pics Saturday night.

Thanks Aunt KK for coming with us tomorrow and for house/critter sitting while we're gone.

I've been tagged....

Katie from CUP OF JOE tagged her blogger pals to come up with 7 Random things about themselves. I am inviting those who read my blog to do the same. Tag YOUR IT!

Here are my 7 Random things:

1. My high school band marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1986. I didn't get to go (don't start groaning all of you who know me I'm not going into all of the "poor me" details) but I am determined to someday go to the Macy's parade and spend Thanksgiving weekend in NYC having a blast!

2. I have an obsession with John Travolta (that dates back to Welcome Back Kotter) and have almost met him twice. However, I didn't make it up close and personal. This failure only adds to the obsession. I have also written OPRAH (since he's her BFF next to Gail) and am patiently waiting for her "PEOPLE" to call me to be on one of her shows when he's on.

3. If I hear the song Jack and Diane come on the radio, no matter where I am or what I am doing I have to turn it up and sing at the top of my lungs! It's just something about that song!

4. I met my husband at Northside Hospital while I was working and he was a patient. His mom worked at NSH many years ago and now our baby was born there.

5. I almost broke up with Mike when we were dating about two months because "I can't find anything wrong with him and he's too nice". Thankfully I did not screw that up!

6. I moved to Atlanta in 1991 and missed my friends (boyfriend who I broke up with b/c I moved) so badly that I drove to Orlando and back in less than 24 hours to go to a party and see everyone. I left on a Saturday afternoon, skipped out on work, partied all night and drove home on no sleep in time to be at dinner at my families and never told anyone I left town. That was crazy!

7. I grew up in Florida and never ate seafood until I moved to Georgia and met my husband. I had no idea what I was missing!!

Ok, so those are mine. Not quite as wild as some. I'm sure some of my friends can top this!
Have fun!

Leggo My Eggo...

I warned you guys that we weren't doing much this weekend but we'd still have LOTS of pics
Check out Lindsay's two front teeth...
This was the first time she had mini eggo waffles and she really enjoyed them.
Not sure now what this face was about....
Oh yeah, I've got an eggo...and you can't have one!
Q T PIE!
Moving on to lunch on Sunday...our first jelly sandwich was fun.
Lindsay immediately opened it up and sucked the jelly off the bread. Is this instinct or what?
Eating like a big girl! (I told you we didn't do anything this weekend)
Here is Linds finally passed out for a nap. She fought it all afternoon. The one day daddy and I really NEEDED her to take a nice two hour nap as we were both trying to do projects around the house. She fussed and cried and finally daddy decided to rock her and this is what I found when I went to peek in on them.

So sweet....
This precious sleep only lasted 30 minutes. She woke up and was not going back down so we decided to give the house work a rest and go over to Donna and Aaron's to grill some burgers.
Now THIS is a party says Lindsay...'bout time we got out of the house today. Check out Daddy's glass....is that a yummy RUM drink?
Lindsay hanging over the back of the couch just before we left. We're in our jammies and ready for the road...this child STILL has not slept.
Teething on Donna's couch. Nice. I prefer to call this Portrait of Ziggy.

All in all we did get a ton of laundry done today and some pre packing for vacation. Daddy was able to get some stuff done too but he's back on project duty today. It's been hard having three days off and staying at home doing boring stuff. BUT, after three months of non stop Proms and overall galavanting (me & lindsay) it was time to crack the whip and get some stuff done around the house. We have lots of company coming in June and July so we're trying to avoid our usual stress fest the night before company comes!

Hope everyone else is having a fun filled weekend. We're looking forward to a short work week and the BEACH is in site!!!!

Irrational Fear

Why is it that I will ride THIS and THAT but NOT what you see above. (photo compliments of Kimmy Kay and Ko.)

Caroline's Birthday Horsey ride made me remember my one and only time attempting to ride a horse. I will not go into a lot of detail as it was pretty embarrassing. Let's just say my knees were shaking worse than they ever did on either of the rollercoasters mentioned above. To this day I have no desire to ride a horse. I know Mike loves to ride and so do many of my friends. However, I'm happy to just take the pictures for everyone and sit the ride out. The fact that I'll ride something that goes 200 mph straight down but will not take a leisurely stroll on hoseback makes no sense to me but there you have it.

Karen and Mike....I'd appreciate it if you keep your comments to yourselves. HA!

MY 100th Post!

I noticed recently I was coming up on my 100th post and have been trying to figure out what I would do with it. Well, one of my best friends has finally started blogging. Really she's my other sister as we grew up together and I lived her with her family for about 3-4 years. SO....without further ado I'm introducing KIM to blogger land. Check her out and leave her comments so she'll have fun and keep coming back!

Kim- I hope you understand what it means to give you my CENTENNIAL POST! Only for you girl!

Can't wait to see you again in June! We're going to see RICK at Chastain JUNE 29th! WOOHOO! Maybe you should put a ticker from LILY PIE on your blog to count down the Rick show. Just a thought!

Love you MAN!
