She's Bee-autiful!

Trial run of Bonnie's Halloween Costume. It's so cute-it even has a little stinger on the back!
I want to eat her up all of the time, but the bee costume is irresistable!

My parents came in town this past weekend, and it was so much fun, as always. Here's a shot Mom took of Bonnie playing in her bed while Mom and I packed up all of her too-small clothes and baby gear. Wow! I can't believe she's outgrown so much so fast!

This is what I found when I heard her wake up from her nap.


Bonnie is wearing the Smokey hat at Cracker Barrell. Mom and Dad taught her how to wave and say hi. She's still working on it!



Mom, Dad, and Bonnie before Bonnie's first UT game in Morristown.


Bonnie loves, loves, loves her Grandma. And, I'm pretty sure the feeling's mutual!


Another photo from Labor Day. She raspberried the whole weekend! She's pretty much over that now, but still does it on occasion. Thank goodness she doesn't do it very much while she's eating anymore!



She's eating puffs at Cracker Barrell. I think she looks like Brandon in this picture!



Some Tom Joy friends met last night for pizza. Bonnie's got that Joy, Joy, Joy down in her heart. She's under Joy's spell of love in this picture! Bonnie adores Joy, but that makes sense. Her Mom adores Joy as well!

Fun Weekend

We had so much fun this weekend hanging out with our friends and family. Bonnie loved having her friends over to watch the UT game on Saturday!

Bonnie woke up early on Saturday to play!
She had some quality time with Dad and Susie.

Her boyfriend Samuel came over to watch the game with her. Isn't he absolutely adorable? Bonnie sure thinks so.

Bonnie "jumped" on the Vols. Everyone else cheered them on, but Bonnie contributed by jumping!

Bonnie always loves to see and play with her GiGi!



How much did Bonnie love Jim and Grace? So much!



And, of course, she loved getting in some play time with Aunt Erin.


Bonnie and Samuel's first photo together. Sallie and I also tagged along on their lunch date today.


Bonnie and Mom played on Sunday while Dad went to the Titan's game. We had a fun time taking a walk and going to lunch with Sallie and Samuel. We had so much fun, in fact, that she hasn't taken a nap today, and was in bed by 6:30.


She loves playing with her toys on her playmat. It's her new favorite activity. She's really studying them in this picture!

Around the House

I've tried to get a few pictures of Bonnie just hanging out this week, but the problem is that she will not hold still! She just likes to bounce, roll, and laugh too much to take a picture. So, sorry some of them are a little blurry!
First biter biscuit-success!
Bonnie and her pal Susie just waiting for Mom to give them some food!

She has two teeth, but I couldn't get a good picture. It's a good picture of a smile, though!


Hanging out with Dad, Susie, and Violet-her talking dog!







Bath time! It is so nice not to have to drag out her infant tub now that she can sit up so well.


She loves playing with her rubber duckie. Sorry about another blurry one!

Sitting Pretty

Our big girl is sitting up unassisted! Hooray! Here are some photos I've snapped the last couple of days.

A girl on rocky top with two great uncles!

Hey all!
Well, we've had a great long weekend. We went to Morristown to spend some time with the family, and Brandon and I went to the UT game on Saturday. We were very happy with the outcome, and Bonnie had a great time with her grandparents. She also got to meet her Great Uncle Hue (Thanks for coming down from D.C. UH! We love you!) and she got to meet her Great Uncle Larry on the way home on Sunday. What a wonderful time we had. We hope all of you have had a great weekend as well, and we appreciate you checking in with us. As another summer officially comes to a close, we have two things to say: Welcome, Fall! Go Vols!

Bonnie and Grandad



Grandma and Grandad bought a swing for their house. Bonnie liked it a lot!




Bonnie's UT dress (the 6 month version). Look at this face-so cute!





Another funny face. Her Uncle Dexter asked, "What did you do? Show her an Alabama picture for her to make that face?"

Finally!

Yay! I am finally able to add some more photos of Bonnie to the blog! I was afraid I might start receiving threats if I didn't add some pictures soon. Actually, Brooks did threaten to not talk to me anymore if I didn't.

Can you believe that Bonnie is 6 months old? I can't! Time flies so quickly. We have been really busy lately. Bonnie has started daycare, and is doing really well. Her teacher says that she is the easiest baby she's had in a long time. Also, our good friends Sallie and Guerry had their little Samuel last week. We are so happy to finally meet him. He is so wonderful!

Here are some things about Bonnie at 6 months:

Everywhere we go people always ask "Is she always this happy?" and I have to say yes. She is very content, especially when we are out and she gets to see new people. We are so fortunate!

She likes all of her fruits and vegetables so far.

She has a tooth! It just broke through, and it's so tiny!

She has become a little clingy. She doesn't like it when Brandon or I walk out of the room sometimes.

She is so much fun-I love being her mom!
Pretty girl
She still loves her Jumperoo!

Check out those beautiful legs!


Henry and Amanda came over before school started. I love this picture of Bonnie holding on to him!



She still enjoys being with her puppy. She laughs at Susie now, and gets really exciting to see her. Susie still loves to lick her face. Susie is benefitting from Bonnie trying new foods. The first time we gave Bonnie those little puffs, she ate one while Susie ate 3 that fell on the floor!



Pretty girl hanging out with Mom before she had to go back to school.


Shoes! This is her real first pair of shoes. She has others that don't fit yet, but these were so cute that my dad went nuts for them when he was here visiting. He had to have them for Bonnie.

This one's for you, Aunt Brooksie. Sorry it took so long to post, and thanks for the great dress!

Coming soon...

Hi Everyone!
I apologize for the lack of posts lately. The hold-up is caused by two reasons:

1. I have started back to school, and I am still learning how to squeeze my Bonnie time into 4-5 hours a day when I am used to spending all day with her.

2. I lost my camera, but my dad has loaned me his. Mom and Dad are sending me the cord to hook up to my computer very soon.

Thank you for being so patient, and for keeping up with us through our blog. We have the most amazing and wonderful family and friends. We love you all! XOXO
