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!

Playtime

Mary Adams is six months old today! Although we won't go to the doctor for a couple of weeks, I know she is getting bigger by the day. She is loving sweet potatoes now and we're starting peas tonight- yum! She plays so hard during the day that she is sleeping great at night. Seven to seven, can't complain about that, can we? Here are some pictures of her playing...

Playing in her bouncer

Eating her good supper from Charles (her grandparents babysat last weekend while we enjoyed a nice weekend away in Highlands- much needed!)

Posing with Aunt Libby

Playing with her new dog-in-the-box that GrandMil bought for her

Sleeping in her new favorite position

Playing in her stroller on a walk

Baptism

Mary Adams was baptized on February 13th at the chapel of Christ the King where Charley and I were married in 2006. There was still a lot of snow on the ground and unfortunately Charles and Milly's flight was canceled that morning- sooo sad!! They will be in town this weekend though to babysit so at least they'll get to see her in February!

Here is a picture with the godparents, Lindsey and Matt, before the baptism started. MA was being a very good girl... But here is a picture of what she did throughout the entire baptism once it started!! Luckily it was a private baptism so other babies weren't affected!

Posing afterwards with my family- you can tell she's been screaming!

Getting fired up again with the King boys. Look at the beautiful gown my mother made for her! At least she looked sweet!

Libby and Ernie were so nice to host a lunch after the baptism where she was a perfect angel. She got a nap then was so good when she woke up. Mak's cake and petit fours

Sitting Up!

Here are some new pictures of Mary Adams learning to sit on her own! She still topples forward after a few minutes but she's getting better every day. I'll add pics later from her baptism last weekend...

Sitting in her room

Laughing on our bed with her favorite frog

Posing with Aunt Lindsey on Valentine's Day

Sitting in her chair in the snow- doesn't she look proud of herself?? Getting tired of posing?
