A Little Something Moore

Lots of Pictures!

2011-05-18T08:54:00.000-05:00

Once again I have failed miserably at updating the blog, but I am uploading lots of pictures today so it should make you happy for a little while. Maybe just maybe I will somehow find time to update more often, but for now here you go.

By the way, today is Alan's birthday!!! Happy Birthday, Alan! Thanks for being such a great husband and daddy! Anne Wylie and I love you so so much!

Happy Graduation, Bebe!

May 14, 2011

Blair graduated from Ole Miss last Saturday, and we couldn't miss the big event!

Double Decker in Oxford

April 30, 2011

She crashed as soon as we got back in the car!

Hanging out with lambie and eating her "nacks" listening to the band (her very FAVORITE part)!

Breaking it down!

Just dancing away - entertaining the crowd too!

Anne Wylie and Bebe!

Easter Weekend

April 23-24, 2011

We spent Easter weekend in Duncan at Mama & Daddy's. Anne Wylie LOVES it there because she is allowed to wake up and play outside in her PJs! ha!

No comment - I promise we are teaching her manners!

Hunting eggs - I was so surprised at how great she was at it!

The only pricture I have of her in her Easter dress. :(

Looks like the Easter bunny came!

Just a swinging... "Sang, Sang" as Anne Wylie would say.

See all the fun things she gets to do at Gran & Jack's house!

Bebe went along for the first ride to get Anne Wylie comfortable with riding.

Bebe, don't kill me for posting!

Ridgeland Kid's Fest

April 17, 2011

Waiting on the circus to start!

Love this face she made when it finally started!

Riding the "lellow" horse!

She just had to climb up in the big tractor like Jacks!

Riding in the "choo, choo"!

She isn't afraid of very many things, but we discovered she didn't like to be too close to the clown.

(He was making balloon animals and tricking the kids while we were waiting for our turn to ride.)

She literally cried when we left the "horses". :)

She loved them so much!

The face I get sometimes when she doesn't get her way... oh well, she has to learn. :)

Sweet girl!

Beginning of 2011...

2011-03-16T08:30:00.000-05:00

Ok, ok, ok...I am finally posting an update. There are probably only about 5 people who actually look at this blog becuase if you aren't really interested in checking out pictures of Anne Wylie then you are going to be disappointed. I am not a writer and have never claimed to be one. My few little paragraphs at the top of each post is really stretching it for me. ha! The family has been begging for updated pictures of Anne Wylie for a while so here it goes. There aren't really that many even though I haven't updated since Christmas. You know winter isn't too much fun. We didn't receive a big pretty snow (although daycare was closed a whopping 3 times for ice - icy bridges at most) so nothing too exciting happened for me to take pictures of. We are so glad the spring is here so we celebrated by taking a weekend trip to New Orleans. Anne Wylie was perfect and loved every minute of it!

Anne Wylie playing in the one small snow we got... it was gone by mid morning the next day.

Riding the train...she loves saying "Choo,choo!"

Waiting at the doctor's office...we have had a nasty ear infection. Ugh!

This girl still loves playing in the tub!

Helping me cook... isn't that interesting. Notice the spoon has already been to her mouth! There is evidence on her chin! ha!

At the zoo in New Orleans

I can't express enough how much she LOVED the petting zoo!

Loving on the goat... seriously, giving it a hug?!?

See, she loved those nasty animals... she cried when we left this area of the zoo. She wasn't afraid of one thing!

Dancing in the street after dinner in New Orleans to one of those side walk bands trying to collect change...she attracted a crowd too! People sat down on the curb to check Anne Wylie out and clap her on! hahaha! It was HILARIOUS!

Checking out the fish at the aquarium.

She loved that the fish and turtles were swimming over her head!

Still checking them out... Alan turned the flash off so he could see the fish in the picture. Mr. Photographer!

If you look closely, you can see her big smile (flash is still off)!

Sitting on the frog... this area included the flog exhibits. My skin was crawling!

Christmas 2010

2011-01-04T16:13:00.000-06:00

We loved every second of Christmas this year! Alan and I both enjoyed several days off before Christmas and did lots of visting with family in Clarksdale. We even took Anne Wylie to Enchanted Forest at the Pink Palace in Memphis. No one hates seeing Christmas come to an end more than me. I look so forward to it and the day comes and goes so fast!

Seeing Santa at Enchanted Forest

Visiting with Grammy... she loves pointing out "Ho, Ho, Ho"

Do you think Jo was just a little excited about her life size picture blanklet of her baby?!?

Santa Came!

She was thrilled!

Mimi reading Anne Wylie one of her new books.

Thanksgiving through December!

2010-12-21T09:27:00.000-06:00

It has been WAY too long since I updated the blog! We have been extremely busy and somehow I haven't found the time or energy to upload all of these pictures and post them on here for you too see. Anne Wylie is growing up so fast. She is practically running around every where and jabbering all the time. She is saying several words and even said her first sentence - "Who is that?"! I can hardly wait until Christmas!!!

Christmas in Canton!

Anne Wylie loved seeing all of the lights and said "Ho, Ho, Ho" every time we passed a Santa!

On the carriage ride in Canton with Gran and Jack

Disney on Ice

Alan and I took Anne Wylie to Disney on Ice here in Jackson a few weeks ago. I was so worried about her sitting still through the whole show because she hadn't napped all day, but she did great! She loved seeing Mickey Mouse!

(This is the reason why I think she didn't close her eyes for a nap all day!)

Attempt at Christmas Card Pictures for Mom

Something must have been really funny!

This one had potential but we didn't need the remote in the picture

She was sick of the picture taking at this point.

Attempt # 1 the day before... Anne Wylie making her new favorite face showing us something. She loves saying "Oooo" and pointing at things. ha!

Finally a keeper!!

Christmas Decorations

I know it has been a very long time since I posted considering I was completely decorated by mid November, and I haven't posted these yet!

Playing in Bebe's purse

We caught Anne Wylie hiding behind the chair one night emptying out Blair's purse. Once she finished she brought Blair all of her stuff a few items at a time then came out with the purse on her shoulder. Apparently she is starting early! ha!

Relaxing with Bebe watching the Backyardigans - her FAVORITE!

Madison Christmas Parade

Too bad I didn't get any pictures of the floats...

Thanksgiving Break

We loved spending Thanksgiving Break in Clarksdale with family! We have so much to be thankful for!

Riding the pig at Abe's after church... She can hardly eat for wanting to see that pig!

Trying on Jack's boots

I love her sweet face and those curls!

Thanksgiving Day!

My attempt at a picture with my sweet girl. She is always on the go!

Someone mst have hurt her feelings...

Girls Trip to New Orleans

Mom, Blair, and I spent the weekend before Thanksgiving in New Orleans. We had so much fun and really enjoyed some girl time shopping! There is no telling how many miles of walking we did that weekend, but it was SO worth it all!

My little walking Butterfly!

2010-11-08T08:45:00.000-06:00

Anne Wylie's first Halloween was spent in the grove! I dressed her up late in the afternoon, and she had a blast walking around showing off! It was precious! I LOVE that she is walking now! She took her first steps (only about 3) the day after her first birthday, but definitely still preferred crawing to get where she needed to go. Finally, Thursday, October 21, she decided that she liked walking much better and hasn't slowed down since! I feel like I say this with each stage, but this age has to be my favorite! Check out the pictures of her in her butterfly costume...I must say she was the cutest butterfly I have ever seen!

Bebe decided we should carve the pumpkin. Anne Wylie loved showing you the eyes and nose. ha!

Great job, Bebe!

State Fair Fun!

2010-10-22T08:25:00.001-05:00

We took Anne Wylie to the fair a few Sundays ago to let her see the petting zoo and ride a few rides. We had so much fun, but I was so ready to go home after just a few hours! You can only handle so much of the fair smell and the fair clientele. haha!

She wasn't scared of any of the animals.

We definitely washed our hands with the sanitizer outside. She loved petting them all.

Her 1st ride ever!

Clapping away

The Carousel...I promise it was the fastest one I have ever ridden. I was so thankful Alan was on there with me to help old her on becuse there were no seatbelts on the horses either!

It's finally FALL!

2010-10-22T08:17:00.001-05:00

Well it was a few weeks ago anyway! I am so ready for it to cool off for good! These 80 degree temps in late October are killing me! Anne Wylie is trying so hard here to walk. She could make it a few steps then fall. We are getting better and better at it by the day. I think she just might have it mastered by the end of this weekend!

Grovin' Again

2010-10-22T08:13:00.001-05:00

Alan was able to go to the Ole Miss Kentucky game with us! We loved having him there to say the least! Anne Wylie did great in the grove again. We can't wait to go back next weekend!!!

Walking from chair to chair. Still holding on...

Taking a little snooze

Very happy after her nap

She loves watching the cheerleaders at the pep rally in the grove!

Anne Wylie turns ONE!

2010-09-27T13:53:00.007-05:00

Anne Wylie turned 1 on Saturday! I can't believe a whole year has passed. I spent most of last week remembering and reminding Alan of every moment up until her arrival last year. It is amazing how everything down to the tiniest thing comes back to you like it happened yesterday. We celebrated with a birthday party at our house on Saturday! I didn't get many pictures of the actual party...my camera went M.I.A. for a while, but I posted some from before and after and of course of her trying her cake! Thanks to everyone who was able to come make it special for her!

Birthday breakfast - complete with a candle in her buscuit :)

Can't you tell she just woke up from her morning nap just in time for the big party?

So hard to get Miss Busy Body to look at the camera and smile

Something must have been really funny!

Anne Wylie and her favorite person!

About to dig in

Well maybe just taste a bite of the icing...

Back for another small bite of icing...She was picking the balls of icing on the boarder off 1 at at time!

Finally one big bite...but after that she was done. The mess on her fingers wasn't making her too happy about distroying the cake.

Blair, Betsy, and me

The 6 cousins

Sweet girl at 11:43p.m. - Exactly 1 year old! She has gotten so big!

My little water baby!

2010-09-10T21:20:00.002-05:00

Just a splashin

She still loves her turtle

A little more splashing

Sweet girl

Big smile with all 8 teeth!

Love her so much

Still splashing - thank goodness for my deep bathtub

She's already striking a pose!

Anne Wylie's Grove Debut

2010-09-10T21:10:00.000-05:00

Anne Wylie made her grove debut last weekend. She did great!!! I was amazed at how good she was to only have a 30 minute nap all day long. She had so much fun playing with Jackson, seeing Ava Mongomery again, and checking out all of the people. Too bad the Rebels lost... Better luck this weekend! Go Rebs!

Anne Wylie and her future Ole Miss roommate!

I feel sure she has probably just taken this cookie from poor Jackson... I had to watch her like a hawk! Everytime his mom gave them one, Anne Wylie took Jackson's away from him. She would cram hers in her mouth as quickly as she could and take his before he could get one bite down. Please come back and play at the Vandy game. I will pack lots of extra cookies! ha!

They were loving playing with each other's toys.

Finally...a quick 30 minute nap

The Cookie Monster

2010-08-30T12:26:00.000-05:00

Anne Wylie loves butter cookies, and she gets so excited when we let her have one! She was being so funny last night, I just couldn't help but snap some pictures. They are so good that she devours them in 2 seconds hence the cookies running down her chin. ha!

She's 11 months old!

2010-08-25T21:01:00.000-05:00

I can't believe my baby will turn 1 just 1 month from today! Time has literally flown by. I feel like I say the same thing all the time, but this is by far my favorite age so far. She is so much fun to play with and is developing more of her cute little personality every day! Enjoy lots of new pictures!

She was SO sleepy for her first ride turned around in her new carseat. The new carseat finally came in a few weeks ago, and I just couldn't wait to get her turned around facing forwards so she could see out the windows. She loves it!

I don't think we will have any problems getting rid of the bottle.

Thanks Gran for my early present! I love it!

Peek a boo...Elmo sees you!

This child loves anything electronic. We even had to give her an old remote that no longer works so that she wouldn't accidentally reprogram the TV. haha!

"Love the bunny, Anne Wylie." She immediately crawls over to it and gives it "love"! So sweet!

She is finally walking behind the lion and not just pushing his nose to hear the music!

Still going!

On a roll... still going!

She's almost made it around the whole house. ha!

First time with messy, messy spaghetti...I let her have at it and feed herself. Watching her eat was so funny, but the cleanup wasn't too much fun...

She LOVED it!

"I've got to get that last noddle!" haha!

Digging for toys

Such a sweet smile! She is so much fun to play with now!

Picking out a book

She sits so still now while I read. I love it!

Pointing out the teeth!

Daddy's turn to read

I love this picture!

Our Beach Vacation!

2010-07-30T07:54:00.000-05:00

We had an awesome time in Orange Beach last week with my family! Mom, Dad, and Blair were such a big help with Anne Wylie, and we can't thank them enough. Anne Wylie loved the beach and especially the pool. She is a water baby for sure, unlike her mom! ha!

Our first night! Anne Wylie was checking it all out...

Just a swinging :)

How Funny!

She is obsessed with her Bebe!

Bet you can guess who she's laughing at... Bebe! She starts laughing literally every time Blair enters the room. Hilarious!

She is NEVER still. ha!

Gran's girls

Anne Wylie loved being down by the water, and Gaston was sweet enough to play with her every day!

She loved the sand to say the least!

Like I said...Never still and heading to her favorite place - the water!

Honestly I can't think of a worse feeling that sand...wet sand at that... all in my swimming suit, but it didn't bother Anne Wylie a bit! She loved it!

Fixing to love on "baby"

Riding her 1st carousal

One of the few pictures of us as a family

I turn my head for 1 second...

2010-07-09T13:47:00.000-05:00

and she is in the dishwasher! I am telling you she is into everything these days, but it is so cute and so much fun!

"You caught me, Mama!"

Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog!

2010-07-07T16:52:00.000-05:00

Anne Wylie loves Micky Mouse Clubhouse on Playhouse Disney! Well, maybe not the whole show... it doesn't quite hold her attention for 30 whole minutes, but she loves all of the songs sung during the show, ESPECIALLY the "Hot Dog" song at the end! She lights up when it comes on and even bounces on her knees like she is dancing. She is so cute doing it. It makes her so happy that I even have the You Tube video of it saved on my phone so I can pull it out in the car if needed. ha!

Blair was in Orlando last week and thought of her favorite little girl... Check out Anne Wylie's new ears! She loves looking at herself in the mirror with them on and never tries to pull them off.

We had her 9 month check up today with Dr. Storey... she weighed 17 pound and was 27 3/4 inches long. Dr. Storey was so impressed with all she is doing these days. It is hard to believe that my baby will be a year old at her next check up....

Horseback Riding

2010-07-06T12:38:00.000-05:00

We spent the 4th at my aunt and uncles in Oxford swimming and cooking out. Anne Wylie loved the pool as usual, but I didn't get any pictures until they decided to ride horses. She has always liked pretending to ride a horse on our knee while we sing, but Sunday she got to ride a real horse!

Blair, Anne Wylie, and Thomas

Eating at Lost Dog Pizza in Cleveland Saturday night

Cruising Around

2010-06-29T12:46:00.000-05:00

Anne Wylie is pulling up on everything and definitely cruising around on what ever she pulls up on. She is testing herself by letting go, but she hasn't quite got her balance to stand up on her on. If she would ever learn to stand on her feet without being on her tip-toes, we might be in business.

Checking herself out in the mirror at the mall

I love catching her getting her own toys out of her toy basket!

She's 9 months old!

2010-06-25T08:31:00.000-05:00

Today Anne Wylie is 9 months old. Whoa...how time flies! I guess I better really start thinking about her 1st birthday becuase it will be here before I know it!

Mom, Blair, Grandmama, Donna, and Gaston are visiting this week and Anne Wylie is loving all the extra attention. Anne Wylie loved playing with Donna in the grass. Poor girl never gets to do that with her mama because I am deathly afraid of all of the lizards that are in our yard!!!

Finally an Update

2010-06-22T09:37:00.001-05:00

I have done a terrible job keeping this blog updated lately. Some times it is so hard to find a free minute in the day to post an update and some pictures. We are really enjoying summer time. Anne Wylie is on the move these days. She is crawling every where and pulling up on every thing! It is so cute to watch, but I can't take my eyes off of her for a second now. ha!

Playing in the fountains at Renaissance in Ridgeland

Taken after church in my grandmama's yard

So sweet!

She LOVED the pool! I can't wait for our trip to the beach!

Jackson and Jessica came to visit!

My camera was fogging over...she is on the move

I love seeing her go!

She is pulling up on everything!

Her favorite toy is my cell phone... she lights up when it rings!

Laughing at Daddy

Bebe is teaching her how to brush her teeth

Smile for the camera!

Emma and Anne Wylie are cousins and only 4 days apart... it was SO hard to get a picture of these two playing together since they are never still. ha!

Happy 30th Birthday, Alan!

2010-05-18T13:38:00.002-05:00

Alan turns the BIG 30 today! Hope it's a good one! We had our annual family crawfish boil this weekend at our house and celebrated with a crawfish birthday cake that was so cute and yummy! Happy 30th Birthday, Alan! We love you so much!!!

How cute is that?!?

I know she looks scared here, but you have no idea how many times she tried to grab it!

Yummy!

Totally loving the attention

Maybe one day she will love to actually read the book, but for now she is interested in chewing it.

Attempting to help me fold the clothes...once again they clean clothes went strait to her mouth!

Playing Catch Up

2010-05-10T15:39:00.001-05:00

I am so sorry I have disappointed so many of you faithful blog readers. I realize I haven't posted in over a month. I really am going to try to do better. Needless to say lots has happened since my last post... Anne Wylie is growing like a weed and babbling away, my best friend had a baby, and I celebrated my first Mother's Day! I wish all of you could hear Anne Wylie's sweet voice on the recordable card she gave me. I will keep it forever!

Anne Wylie playing with "Jack"

Thinking hard! ha!

My best friend in high school and roommate all 5 years at Ole Miss, Jane, and her husband, Richard, welcomed their first baby into the world on May 5, 2010! Ava Montgomery Cross is precious! Who knows - maybe she and Anne Wylie will be friends too... that would make us both so happy!

Sweet Ava Montgomery

I love this one!

She is so tiny! You really do forget how small a newborn is.

Kaycee and Anne Wylie - just hanging out

The "Fullilove" cousins at Josh's memorial benefit Saturday night.

Don't know what I would do without her!

Alan and me

Love you, Mom!

So happy all the time!

Bebe!

Happy Easter!!!

2010-04-08T21:58:00.001-05:00

We enjoyed a beautiful Easter weekend in Clarksdale visiting our families. Each holiday this year is special to me because it is Anne Wylie's first! We dyed eggs, the Easter Bunny filled her basket and even paid her a visit Sunday afternoon. All of these things are lots of fun, but we must not forget why we celebrate Easter.

We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Romans 6:4

First look at the Easter Basket

Checking it all out

Her first Easter Basket and a bubble machine from the Easter Bunny

Our little family

Gran showing her her Easter happies from Mimi... Thanks, Mimi!

My sweet girl

The Easter Bunny surprised her!!!

Worn out after all the Easter festivities

Have we skipped the sippy cup phase all together?!?

Alan finally got her swing up! She loves it!!!

Happy 1/2 Birthday!!!

2010-03-25T21:04:00.000-05:00

Honestly, I can hardly believe 6 months have already passed. My baby is already 6 months old! I will be planning her 1st birthday party before I know it. Alan and I can neither remember life without her. Her big blue eyes and that big smile of hers just light up the room. She is growing up so fast. I feel like everyday she can do something new. She is sitting up so good now and is so cute playing on the mat with her toys all by herself. She loves her jumper and makes the cutest noises while jumping. She smiles and laughs the whole time she is in it. Anne Wylie and I both love the warm spring weather. We both look forward to our stroll every afternoon. She sits up the whole time and her head is never still. She looks from left to right the whole time. I must admit she is one nosey little girl just like her mama, Gran, and Grandmama! ha! She is eating three meals a day. I love feeding her and seeing that little mouth open so wide ready for the next bite. She has tried all of the Gerber 1st foods and LOVES them all. Now that she has been introduced to baby food she isn't near as interested in her bottle anymore. She takes two bottles at daycare and one right before bed. I personally love that I don't have as many to wash anymore! I love her more than I can even put into words.

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Anne Wylie! Mama and Daddy love you so much!!!

Spring Break with Gran

2010-03-23T11:09:00.000-05:00

Since last week was Spring Break, Mom was out of school. Gotta love all those teacher holidays.... Anyways, she headed to Madison and spent the second half of the week playing with Anne Wylie. I think they both loved every minute of it! Anne Wylie started sitting up like a big girl while she was there too! Bebe came in from the beach on Thursday just in time to spend the weekend with us. Thanks, Mom, for all you do! I know you never think you do much, but Alan and I both appreciated the break from just the little things like washing bottles and folding clothes. ha!

Playing with her toys

"Mama, enough pictures...I'm trying to play"

First shot of her actually playing with her baby doll.

This is how she gives kisses... the whole mouth is open! ha!

I'm sure she will kill me for posting this picture one day!

She loves her "real" food! Check out her licking the bib!

Just a Jumping...

2010-03-12T09:29:00.004-06:00

Nothing makes me happier than to see that big smile!

She's worn out from jumping! Time to chew on those fists. ha!

FINALLY!!!!!

2010-03-10T08:43:00.004-06:00

Anne Wylie slept through the night!!! We have had her on a really good routine since she was about 6 weeks old. The routine worked wonders, but she has never slept all the way through the night. She was usually getting up once or twice for only a few minutes to eat and would be sound asleep again. We couldn't really complain because we were only up for about 10 minutes each time but it was still broken sleep. It was SO nice last night to not get up at all! She went down last night at 7:30 and Alan had to wake her up this morning at 7:20 to get ready for daycare!

Still sleeping when I left for work this morning at 7!

She has 2 teeth!!!

2010-03-09T06:31:00.002-06:00

So Blair has been getting on to me lots lately about not updating the blog as much as I should. I promise I will try to update more often! Things have been pretty busy around our house over the last month. Anne Wylie has started eating cereal and baby food. She LOVES real food! I haven't found one thing she won't eat yet. Watching her open wide and lean towards the spoon is so cute. She has also cut both of her bottom teeth!!! She was crewing my knuckle in the car one morning on the way to church, and I noticed something cutting me! Now that we have some teeth, we have had to add brushing those pearly whites to our nightly routine. That toothbrush must feel great to her sore gums because I think she would let me brush them all day. She is more fun to play with each day! Nothing is better than watching her personality develop! She also spent her first weekend in a hotel room with us this weekend while we were in Oxford celebrating Thomas's wedding! She did great!

Congrats, Thomas and Sarah! Thanks for letting me share your special day with you!

The 6 grandkids at rehearsal

Fun in the bath tonight!

Chewing those keys!

Look at that big smile!

Sweet girl getting dressed and ready for bed

Check out those 2 teeth!

Anne Wylie's Dedication

2010-02-21T21:11:00.007-06:00

Sunday, February 21st was a very special day for our family. Alan and I dedicated our precious baby to God and promised Him we would raise her in a Christian home and teach her about Jesus. Thanks to all of our families who made the trip to Jackson to share this special time with us.

Thank you, Ginna, for the precious invitation!

Getting ready for church

She was very sleepy but still interested in the big audience!

She made the big screen :) The family was SO proud!

Our family...

Anne Wylie and her Grammy

I couldn't resist posting a picture of the food table. It was so pretty.

The yummy Chow cake!

Telling her Bebe bye bye and thanks for spending the weekend with us!

SURPRISE!!! Blair got a NEW car!

2010-02-21T20:29:00.003-06:00

Friday night when Blair got to our house she was surprised by Daddy with a NEW car!!! She is now the very proud owner of a 2010 Acura TSX!

SO NICE!

Check out her reaction!

We have SNOW!!!

2010-02-12T10:08:00.004-06:00

Rarely does Jackson ever get a good snow, but this morning we woke up to almost 6 inches! It is beautiful! We bundled Anne Wylie up and took her out for just a second so she could see her first snow. Alan and I thought it was so funny that she kept sticking her tongue out to catch the snow flakes! ha! We are so glad BeBe came last night to spend the "snow day" with us!

All Bundled Up!

I don't think she knew what to think...ha!

Look how pretty!

Winter Wonderland

It's still falling!

Looking down our street!

Birthday wishes and RSV...

2010-01-19T20:38:00.009-06:00

Last week, a sign was on the door to the infant room at daycare letting us know that there was a case of RSV in the room. It didn't take long for Anne Wylie to have it too. We went to Clarksdale this weekend for Blair's 21st birthday. Anne Wylie was fine Friday when I picked her up from daycare. I was only hearing a cough here and there, and she slept fine Friday night. Saturday she was worse and Sunday wasn't any better. Her little smile had quickly faded, and she could barely keep her eyes open. Monday morning we paid Dr. Wells in Clarksdale a visit and sure enough her RSV test came back positive. She is pitful... struggling to breathe and coughing and sneezing all the time. I'm ready for my baby to get better!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, BLAIR!!!
We love you!

Blair's sweet friends surprised her and took her to Memphis

Check out the cake Blair's roommate, Sam, made!!!

Lots of new things happening around here...

2010-01-12T21:39:00.004-06:00

New things are happening every day in our house! She is teething now and ALWAYS has something in her mouth to chew on. She also rolled over! We were playing on the floor last night when she rolled over for the first time. I thought it was probably by mistake, but I put her back on her tummy and she did it again!

Chewing on her favorite bath toy! Outside of the bath it is usually her fist.

All the way from ALASKA!

2010-01-01T11:11:00.002-06:00

Thomas and his fiancee, Sarah, surprised us on Christmas and showed up in Mississippi all the way from ALASKA! We were so excited to see them, and Anne Wylie loved meeting her cousin! We loved getting to visit with y'all! Can't wait to see you again in March!

Anne Wylie's 1st Christmas!

2009-12-30T15:02:00.016-06:00

Christmas was very special for us this year! Anne Wylie had a great first Christmas. I can hardly wait until next year when she may actually be able to have some fun opening presents.

We spent Christmas Eve at my Aunt Donna's house outside of Oxford. Anne Wylie was such a champ being passed around for everyone to love on her! Thanks, Donna, for the special braclets you gave Anne Wylie. I can't wait for them to actually fit her!

Santa came to visit Anne Wylie! Christmas morning she woke up to lots of toys, a new stroller, and some luggage to use on our trips to Clarksdale! She really isn't old enough to play with many of these toys yet, but Santa knew she would be needing them soon!

Christmas Morning!

Christmas morning, we opened presents with Mom, Dad, and Blair then headed to Alan's mom's house for Christmas lunch. Thank y'all so much for everything! We are so blessed to have such great families!

Alan's mom opening her gift from us. Anne Wylie slept the whole time we were there so I don't have any pictures of her with her Mimi... :(

Christmas night, we were in Cleveland for Christmas at my Aunt Debbie's. We loved being able to visit everyone. Thank you, Debbie, for the special cross ornament. We will always treasure it! Each year we pull it out to hang on our tree we will remember Josh and thank God for sending His only Son to die on the cross so that we can be reunited in Heaven with our loved ones one day.

Lots to Catch Up On...

I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have my computer back! It crashed about six weeks ago and has been at the computer doctor since trying to get cleaned out and fixed.

Anne Wylie is growing like a weed. Over the last six weeks, I started back to work, we spent a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, Anne Wylie spent the night away from me with Mimi while I went Christmas shopping, and she started daycare. She has done great with daycare. In fact, it has really helped get her on a good little schedule. She is sleeping SO much better at night! Friday night she slept 7 hours straight - 7:30 til 2:30 - with out waking at all!

We are so excited about Christmas! Anne Wylie loves the Christmas tree. She loves swinging and staring at the lights! She smiles and laughs at us all the time now. It is so much fun!!!

Anne Wylie and Neicee
Finally! You made the blog!

Our first try with rice cereal...we thought it would help her sleep better, but it didn't so we decided we would wait a few months before we try it again. She did great eating it though.

Her first Thanksgiving - I forgot to pull my camera out so this is the only picture I have of her all day.

Anne Wylie in her Christmas PJs. She is so very sleepy here. At 7:30, she is ready for bed! She can't seem to stay up one second later.

Thanks Bebe for the cute Christmas outfit!

How cute is she?!?

3 stockings this year!

Our Christmas Tree! Anne Wylie's favorite thing to stare at... I don't know what she is going to do when we take it down.

Pray for Josh

2009-11-08T21:15:00.002-06:00

It makes me really sad to have to write this post, but my cousin, Josh Abide, was in a bad car accident last night. He was airlifted to The Med in Memphis almost immediately. He has a collapsed lung, two cracked vertebrae, and a cracked skull and eye socket. There were three questionable spots on his brain that they are going to keep a close eye on over the next 72 hours. He is now in a drug induced coma but is responsive with his fingers and toes.

Josh has the most precious family. Please keep Debbie, John, Hunter, and the rest of the family in your prayers. Hunter and Josh are only a year apart and are not only brothers but best friends. Josh is Blair's age - a junior at Delta State. I added a link to the Caringbridge website that has been created to keep everyone posted on his progress. These next three days are very crucial, and both he and his doctors and nurses need our continuous prayers.

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who trust in Him. Nahum1:7

This is how she went to sleep...

2009-11-04T14:19:00.004-06:00

And this is how she woke up...

How funny is that!?! We heard her squirming around and this is what we found when we looked over to check on her. The funny thing is she never cried. Alan and I couldn't help but die out laughing! Please look how precious she is in the top picture. I know I'm her mom so I'm probably partial, but isn't she the cutest thing ever!

Time flies... She's 1 month old!

2009-10-27T11:15:00.004-05:00

Anne Wylie was 1 month old on Sunday! Time has flown by. She is such a sweet girl when her stomach isn't upset. Alan and I have been working so hard to find a formula that agrees with her so that she will feel better. It breaks my heart to see her hurting. We started her on soy formula last weekend. We have our fingers crossed that it will do the trick. She is growing every day. I can't wait to take her back to the doctor to see how much she has really grown.

All the way from Miami!

2009-10-27T11:10:00.002-05:00

"Auntie Rose" came to visit all the way from Miami! She definitely wins the award for traveling further than any other to see Anne Wylie. She stopped by on her way to see the Bulldogs play Florida in Starkville last Friday.

Date Night!

2009-10-17T14:06:00.003-05:00

Last night, Alan and I had our first date night since Anne Wylie was born. Kaycee and Ben came by to meet the baby, and Alan and I joined them for dinner at Char. Gran, Grandmama, and Aunt Bebe were in town and loved babysitting and spending time with Anne Wylie while we were gone. Dinner was delicious, and we really enjoyed a night out!

We loved our visit!

Our first trip to Clarksdale!

2009-10-14T08:58:00.004-05:00

We made our first trip to Clarksdale this past weekend, and Anne Wylie got to visit and meet lots of new people. She did great in the car - slept the whole way there and back home on Sunday! I wish I had take pictures of the car loaded down for the two day trip. There was more packed in the car than Alan and I have packed to go on a week long trip to the beach! Looks like an SUV maybe in our future. ha!

I left Anne Wylie for the first time for several hours on Saturday so we could go to Oxford. Alan and Dad went to the Ole Miss game, but Mom and I only went over for lunch with Blair because I couldn't bare to be away from her for too long. She spent the morning and most of the afternoon with her Mimi in Sherard and seemed to love every minute of it! While she was there she was also able to spend time with her Grammy, great aunts, and some cousins. Thanks Mimi for keeping her! I don't have any pictures of this visit to post since I wasn't there...

Anne Wylie also met several of my family members this weekend too. Everyone in the family and even some of Blair's friends stopped by to see her. She was definitely the center of attention! MamaAnn, my grandmother and her namesake, was able to meet her for the first time on Sunday.

Aunt Bebe even came home from Oxford to spend some time with Anne Wylie too!

Four Generations

Two Week Checkup

2009-10-09T23:31:00.002-05:00

Anne Wylie had her two week check up with the peditrician this morning. Dr. Rohman was so sweet, and Anne Wylie is doing great! She weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces and is already 20 1/4 inches long! I can't believe I forgot my camera to capture the moment. I am still trying to adjust to me gettting ready and having a baby ready and fed and where we are supposed to be on time. I promise I will do better next time!

It's just the 3 of us now...

2009-10-05T14:57:00.007-05:00

We have had visitors since Anne Wylie's been home. Alan's mom left last Wednesday, and Blair came into town the end of the week and left us Sunday. Mom spent all last week here with us helping out, and I must say that Sunday was a very sad day because she left us to go back home. I'm not going to lie. I shed many tears this weekend knowing that her time with us was quickly coming to an end. How was I going to handle all of this on my own?? Alan is a big help getting up all hours of the night with me, but waking up this morning was a little scary knowing that it was just going to be Anne Wylie and me all day with out anyone here to help out. Mom did SO much over the last week. She has cooked, cleaned, washed clothes, helped with the baby around the clock.... the list just goes on and on. I don't know what we would have done without her!

Thank you so much, Mom, for all you did to help us out! I only hope I can be half as good a mom as you are! We love you, Gran, and can't wait to see you again! Hurry back!!

Anne Wylie and her Gran

Here are some more recent pictures of the sweet baby girl!

Bath Time!

2009-10-01T13:16:00.003-05:00

Anne Wylie had her first sponge bath a few nights ago. I thought I would share some pictures. She is such a sweet little girl. She didn't seem to mind us bathing her at all.

Anne Wylie is HERE!!!

2009-09-28T18:44:00.003-05:00

Anne Wylie made her grand entrance into the world, Friday, September 25 at 11:43p.m. She weighed 6lbs, 2ozs and was 19 3/4 inches long.

So here's the story. Dr. Nicols had scheduled me to be induced on Tuesday, September 29. I had prayed for long time for her to hang in there until her inducement date so that I could be in Oxford for the weekend with Blair for rush at the Tri Delt house. She has worked so hard being on rush team, and I couldn't imagine not being there for such a big weekend in her life! Mom picked me up Friday morning and we headed north. The ride seemed long to me, but I hung in there and felt great once we were out of the car. We helped Blair out around the house for a few hours and even watched the skit as they had their last minute practices. Anne Wylie loved the music so much she danced around inside until I decided it was probably best I went and rested in Blair's bed. About 5:30, I told Mom that I was a little uncomfortable. I thought maybe I had overdone it a little, but by about ten after 6, I was feeling pains on a pretty regular basis. I still wasn't convinced I was in labor. Mom began to time the contractions. They were anywhere from 3 to 8 minutes apart and all lasted about 40 seconds each. We quickly decided it was time to head back to Jackson. I was so disappointed about leaving Blair behind, but I knew I didn't have a choice. The contractions were quickly becoming more intense, and I continued to tell Mom we had to hurry! After driving 100mph and being stopped for speeding around Winona, we made it to the hospital. I was ready for the epidural as soon as I was admitted and two hours later she was here! Anne Wylie was PERFECT to say the least. We were instantly in LOVE with her! I have already decided she's a nosey little girl. She just couldn't stand all the action going on around her on Friday and had to get out to see! Aunt Blair is convinced she is definitely going to be a DDD one day!

Here are some more pictures of her first days...

The Nursery is finally FINISHED!

2009-08-23T08:26:00.005-05:00

Things have actually come together now. The nursery is finished, and it looks exactly the way I have always imagined! We can't thank Mama, Daddy, and Blair enough for all of their help. Alan and I couldn't have done it all without their help. I am so pleased with everything and love to spend time in her room. When Alan can't find me anywhere, he has now learned where to look. I could sit in there for hours and just stare at her room. We are so ready to meet Anne Wylie. I can't believe we only have 5 and a half weeks to go!

View from her bedroom door...

Mom used this crib with Blair and me, and Alan antiqued it for Anne Wylie. He did an awesome job. I love it!

Just waiting on pics of Anne Wylie to fill these frames on the wall.

Everything is perfect!

I am so blessed...

2009-08-17T19:02:00.006-05:00

God has richly blessed me with great friends!!! They gave me the most perfect baby shower. Anne Wylie is set for a while. She got so many cute things. I am going to have to play dress up every day so she can wear all of the sweet little clothes. The food was delicious especially the Chow Cake, my favorite! Thanks so much to all of you for such a great shower to celebrate baby Anne Wylie!

Beach Bound 2009

2009-06-26T19:11:00.003-05:00

Blair, Mom, Alan, and I spent a week in Orange Beach in June. Daddy was unable to go with us due to his crops not all being planted. It was very disappointing that he wasn't with us, but we made the best of it. The weather was perfect, and the water was beautiful. We can't wait to go back next year with Anne Wylie!

We're excited to announce...

2009-05-04T19:27:00.011-05:00

We will be welcoming a beautiful little girl into the world in only 5 short months! So it's been a really long time since I have blogged. It is so hard to believe almost 14 weeks have passed since we found out we were going to be parents! I have started growing now at a pretty rapid pace. My body looks different almost every day which is still so strange to me! We had our big ultrasound last Friday and found out that we are having a GIRL!!! She was perfect! We love her already and can't wait to meet her! I have included pictures below so that you can see just how much she has grown already. Yes, they are pictures of pictures since I don't have a scanner.
