Beach Trip

We went to visit my parents in Destin and Mary Adams went to the beach for the very first time. She loved both the sand and water (though the waves had her a little scared at first). It was a great trip with perfect weather and water!! Lindsey, Mimi and Nana were there also, so needless to say MA got lots of attention. Here are pictures from last week.

With Cap on the beach

Swimming at my parents' house

Swimming at the big pool with her starfish raft It was Lindsey's birthday last Tuesday so Mary Adams loved helping her unwrap presents!

Who do you think is more excited?

Loving the sand and surf!

This is a picture from our first day at the beach. She hasn't quite made up her mind about the water... Back home- MA came to cheer for me in a 5K I ran.

This is how she gets around while wearing dresses- I have to tie them up so her knees don't get caught!

Her favorite new activity: standing! So proud of herself

Pool!

We went to the pool after a wonderful Mother's Day brunch- Mary Adams is so sweet! She loves the water even though it was a little bit chilly.

Still having fun!

Drying off with Dad

Waking up after a nap

She loves to read!

Crawling around- and into everything!!

Zoo and More!

We took Mary Adams to the zoo for the first time the other day and she loved it! Her favorite animal was the warthog but I couldn't get any pictures because there were too many kids around (I guess they all liked the warthog, too!). She also liked these pigs at the Children's Zoo: I had to get a picture of us with the flamingos for my mom!

Here she is with a goat

And here she is after about an hour and a half after being there!

This is MA's spot to watch when I throw the ball to Ruby. Do you think she likes it?

Best friends. By the way, Mary Adams is crawling now! I cannot believe it!

Swinging at the park

Playing with Winnie at the park

We were in Charleston for Taylor Materne's wedding and the Blue Angels had an airshow on Saturday! It was so cool but very LOUD!! Anyway, MA didn't really know where to look for the planes but it was still fun.

Here she is sleeping after a very long day walking around in Charleston. Charley likes to put a towel over her pack-and-play to make a little fort for her while she sleeps- so weird...

Eating in her makeshift highchair for the weekend!

Of Late...

Mary Adams loves to help me with the laundry!
Here's our little Easter bunny. She loves all of the toys she got in her basket.

Before church on Easter

Being a good girl at brunch after church. MA loves sitting in high chairs when we go out to eat!

This is the Easter Egg Hunt at Capital City on Saturday with Carter and Winnie.

Mary Adams and Winnie looking for grass, not eggs!

Eating breakfast in her brand new highchair! We knew we had to get her one but it became imperative when we couldn't get her out of her Bumbo (where she had been eating with the tray) because her legs were too fat!! Sweet girl- she loves her "big girl" chair now!

Sitting with daddy

I thought this picture was funny! MA seems to love wearing headbands, hats and bonnets. I'm so happy!!

Trip!

Mary Adams finally got down to visit my parents in Destin. We had so much fun playing with Honey and Cap and even got to celebrate Cap's 41st (ha!) birthday with him. Mimi was there so MA got to spend time with her also! Here she is in her sailor suit...
This is her pink pack and play where she sleeps when we go on trips. She loves it but Charley thinks she looks like she's in jail!

Posing with Cap... this must be before she had her dinner because she doesn't look too happy.

Honey teaching her to "open wide!" (as if she didn't know how- check out those arm rolls!)

Mary Adams and Mimi enjoying the weather

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Mary Adams had so much fun on her first St. Patrick's Day! We had playgroup at our house and all of the babies had a blast dressing up and playing- at least I'd like to think so!!
MA and Annie

Vivienne, Carter, Mary Adams, Annie, and Reed

Just threw in a pic of MA with her dad and dog. She loves feeding Ruby treats now!
