Waving and saying DADA!!!

I love her laugh!

Ensley and Miss Arkansas!






February!!!

What a fun month this has been!!!! Ensley is just more and more fun every day! She loves to wave "bye bye", thanks Mom, Dad, and Meme for teaching her!!! It is the cutest thing ever! She'll wave to me when I pick her up from Miss Niki's and it melts my heart!!!

She has said her first word-DADA of course!!! I was really trying to teach her to say HI (something neutral!) but it wasn't happening so we started working on DADA. Her voice is so sweet and I can't wait to hear more of it!! We will work on MAMA next!! I will post a video soon!

For Valentine's Day, we went to Memphis for a wedding and had a great time. Emily and Jonathan were there to celebrate V Day too so we got to have dessert that night and brunch the next morning with them! It was fun, I love Memphis and miss working over there!

Well, we finally did it---Ensley is in her own room!!!!!! It was a big step---for me I guess!! Kind of funny--I had to move the matress to the lowest level, b/c she is so big and was pulling up!! I was afraid she would fall out! I think she likes it so far, the first night we put her in there it lasted an hour--she woke up so I moved her in our room. But, she has done great since then! I think this week while I am in NY, she is in the pak'n'play in our room near her Daddy, I hope they're having fun!! I am missing her but I think I'm okay...but it is only the 2nd day away!! I did sleep in till 10:30 this morning and took a 2 hour nap this afternoon, which was very nice...but I'm kind of lonely for my baby girl!!! Oh yeah--and Ryan too :-)

Ensley is now 8 months old!!! I can't believe it!!! Enjoy!

Mexico!

Here are some pics from our trip to Mexico...we had a great time! Ensley stayed in Harrison for the week and started waving "bye bye" while we were gone!! It's so cute! Ensley's Great Aunt Garlanda came to Harrison to help mom out and to see baby E--thank Garggie for all your help, huggs, and kisses for E!!!! SHe loves you and hopes to see you again soon!!!! Thank you Grandjan and Pop for keeping baby E--she had so much fun and LOVES it at your house!! Meme and J thanks for all your help too!!

Hi!!

Hey everyone! I am in New York for work this weekend and all of next week so I am looking forward to getting our blog updated!!!! Lot's to come!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

January Pics and Updates!!

The start of 2009 has been fun, busy, and great. Heather and I took the kids to the Peabody for a night of fun and my did we ever leave a trail wherever we went!!! It was hilarious but so much fun!! None of us slept very much either!!! As you can see in the pics, Ensley and Luke love each other and totally carry on conversations, it's so stinkin cute (they are 10 weeks apart)! Ensley can upset him though, I don't know if it's b/c she may be a little much at times and it's overwhelming to him, or if she is telling him something that upsets him. They are precious together and Quince loves them both so much. He doesn't like it when Ensley eats his cars, though.
We celebrated Ryan's, Al's, and Brad's B-days (Jan 11, 8, and 12 respectively!!!) at Pammie and Grandad's in early Jan.
Grandjan and Pop came for a visit and to babysit while Uncle Brad took me to a wedding reception (Ryan was out of town).
Ryan went on too many trips this month but I got a few swimsuits and a new purse out of it so it's OK!
Ensley had her first ear infection this month--WAH! We got rid of it quickly, though, so she is better now. We went to the doctor 10 days apart and she gained almost a pound in those 10 days! She weighed 18lbs 12oz! Maybe it's b/c we've started eating three meals a day this month too.
She is still doing the army crawl this month but is super duper fast--and into everything!! I had to call Poison Control the other day b/c she was eating one of those spider traps/boxes!!! Luckily it's just sticky stuff and no poison, and she didn't have it in her mouth very long thank goodness!! I literally turned my back for 2 seconds, but I have learned that's all it takes!!!
We introduced the sippy cup, she does OK with it, haven't really used it lately, I kind of forgot-whoops!
Enjoy and hope to have more up soon!!

Ice Storm 2009

Wow! Whatta storm!! It hit us on Tuesday Jan 27th, our power went out that early evening and we didn't get it back on until Thursday night. We thought the showroom had power so we went up there Weds night and it flickered on and off all night...crazy stuff!! I think there are still people without power! How awful!! I think it will be a while before our trees ever look the same, some are ruined. I felt sorry for them, they looked so sad! We kept E bundled in a snowsuit mom and dad got for her for Christmas, so she was warm. She had been sick with a cold and an ear infection prior to the storm, and the storm only made her cold workse, but her ear infection luckily went away!!

HOLA!!!!


Hola! We, Ryan and I, are in Mexico!! We are having so much fun! I planned on totally updating our blog this week, but obviously haven't quite gotten around to it...maybe the sun, ocean, and vacation have kept me from it, who knows!??! Anyway, we miss our baby E but she is safe and sound in Harrison with my parents. I will get this thing updated ASAP!!!! Here's a pic of the beautiful Cozumel sunset on our first big vacation away from our precious baby girl. We miss her greatly but are having a really nice time. We've gone zip-lining, had some fun times at Carlos and Charlies and Senor Frogs, thorougly enjoyed the spa servies, and tomorrow are renting a catamaran and going snorkeling. Fun times but can't wait to hold my baby again!
