The Nose Bubble

So I know this is gross, but I had to post this picture because it is kind of funny. Pressley has a little runny nose so when her Uncle Adam came in to visit this weekend, he and Chris were thrilled to catch a picture of her "nose bubble."

Uncle Adam!!

After Pressley and I returned from Hendersonville on Sunday we got to visit with Uncle Adam, one of Chris' brothers, who came to visit for the weekend. Pressley loves her Uncle Adam! Although he and Aunt Sara don't have any kids of their own YET, Uncle Adam was a pro at making Pressley laugh.

Bama's New House

This past weekend Pressley and I drove to Hendersonville to visit my mom who just moved back from Raleigh. We had so much fun and Pressley has finally decided she really likes Bama (after a brief period of crying every time Bama walked into the room!) Before we left, we were sure to take some pics of Pressley, Bama and Bama's new house. We are so glad that Bama is now less than 2 hours away!!! Yeah!!! That means lots of visits!!!!

My First Mother's Day

I thought being pregnant last year meant I could celebrate Mother's Day. But now that Pressley is actually here, this Mother's Day had a whole new meaning. I feel like I have finally accomplished something in life. What a blessing Pressley has been to me in the short time I have known her. She has changed my outlook, my opinions, my purpose, my priorities . . . . my life. I can finally appreciate a mother's love and there is nothing like it.

Blue 21! Blue 21! Set....Hut....Hut!

Pressley's Pops gave her a football yesterday and it has quickly become her favorite toy. Of course Chris was thrilled to see her holding a football and grabbed the camera and started snapping. The first picture is her best Heisman pose. In the second picture, she fumbled the ball but had a nice recovery with her neck. She's practicing her grip in the last pic.

Get Out The Vote

Yesterday was Primary Day! Will this election ever be over??? After Chris got home from work, we walked across the street to the Methodist Church, which happens to be our polling precinct, and cast our ballots. Pressley was so excited to participate in her first presidential primary, but she wouldn't tell us who she voted for!!!!!

6 Months Old Already????

It is so hard to believe that Pressley is already 6 months old. I mean there were times that I didn't think I would make it through the first 6 weeks. But now it feels like these past 6 months have flown! She had a good doctor's appointment on Monday weighing in at 16 lbs 12 oz and she is now 26 3/4 in. long. Here are a few pics. of the little one through the months. . . . .

Baby Dedication

On April 27th Chris and I were honored to dedicate Pressley to the church and commit to raising her in God's service. It was such a sweet ceremony. There was a reception at the end and each family had its own table, which was nice. Pressley was pretty much melting down by the end, but it was still a very special day!!
