Happy Birthday, Davy!

I know this blog is suppose to be about McCall, but I just had to make a note that Sunday was Davy's first birthday since McCall was born. McCall helped (well, she watched) Davy blow out his candles after we sang at 7 AM (I think Davy may have enjoyed it a little more if we had waited 'til at least 7:30- sorry!) Happy 26th Birthday, Davy!!

I forgot to take a picture of the cake before we cut it- looks like it was good!

What a busy weekend!!!

Davy and I had such a busy weekend, so in turn McCall spent A LOT of time with my mom and step-dad (Mimi and Papa). First, I would like to say how appreciative we are that they were willing to drive all the way to Florence to babysit her while Davy and I went to various events. We are especially thankful for them watching McCall Friday night while we went to Lexington for our friend Kim's Going Away Party. This was McCall's first night away from me when she hasn't just been down the hall or next door at my in-laws. I was more than an hour away from McCall!! I am more than willing to admit that I was totally out of control when telling my parents her routine and what to do if she fussed, had a stomach ache, etc. I even went so far as to tell them what to do if she started teething!!! I mean, come on Bridget- she's 2 months old! I know, I'm crazy when it comes to my sweet girl! I seriously did give them an hour long run down of what to do ....(like they had never raised kids or something.... they have 4 between the two of them). I honestly don't think my parents would have put it past me to tell them what to do if she were to start driving before I returned home. :) Anyway, thanks Mom and Ken for watching McCall and listening to me be OCD mom! :)

2 Months Old & "Going to Grandma's" (and Great Grandma's)!!!

Today was McCall's 2 month check-up and Aunt Nikki went with us to Dr. Whitehead's office. We were very excited to see that McCall was 10 pounds 4 ounces and 23 1/8 inches long. She is now in the 75th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight. McCall also had to have 3 shots today and she did really well and only cried for about 30 seconds-thank goodness, I was afraid I would start crying with her! Dr. Whitehead gave us more great news while we were there- he gave us the "go ahead" to visit my grandmother (who has been recovering from shingles and is yet to meet McCall). So, while heading home Nikki suggested we visit my grandmother this week while Davy was out of town- WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I thought about what Nikki said for a while and decided that I couldn't wait any longer. I packed McCall and I up and headed to Easley. My grandmother's reaction to McCall was better than I could have ever imagined!! She couldn't stop saying how perfect my sweet baby was. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen! I couldn't help but tear up (and of course my mom did too) It means so much to me that my Grandmother, who has been such an important part of my life, got to meet McCall. Today was one of the best days of my life!

McCall with Aunt Nikki looking happy here- she apparently didn't know she was getting shots! :)

How much will she weigh? 10 pounds 4 ounces!!! Almost a 4 pound gain since birth!

4 Generations!!!! This picture means more to me than anyone will ever know.

McCall's Trip to Columbia

Yesterday I took McCall to Columbia to say goodbye to Aunt Kim. Kim joined the Peace Corp. and will be in Peru for the next two years. We are so proud of Kim and are going to miss her terribly!!

G talking to McCall

"I'm going to miss you Aunt Kim!"

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a pretty relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. Davy took a few days off of work last week and he had today (Monday) off so, it was nice to have so much family time together. Also, we had a few visitors over the weekend. Our nephew, Drake, came to Florence and stayed with the neighbors (aka the Grandparents) for the weekend and Koehler (Gus, Easley and Meadow- her dog and her brothers two dogs) came Saturday and Sunday to stay with us. Below are some pictures from the weekend (I don't know how I managed to not get a single picture of Koehler while she was here... guess we were having too much fun!) It never gets old!!! I know, I take WAY too many pictures of Davy and McCall napping together.

Raise your hand if you like napping with Daddy... Ok, so I know the picture is blurry, but Davy woke up and started doing everything McCall was doing- it was too funny!

This is how I found Wrigley on Saturday morning (my in-laws have a pond next door... you think Wrigley may have gone swimming? I think so!)

Again, my dirty dog :)

Drake came to visit McCall

Cousins

McCall ready for bedtime

Davy and McCall after the Memorial Day Cookout (and I promise that Davy and McCall don't always sit in this chair- I must just always take pictures while they are sitting here) :)

Too sweet for words

Davy put this bow in McCall's hair- I was impressed with the effort :)

A few new pictures from today

The Fam minus Davy. Look at McCall's long legs!

Talking to my sweet girl

Making faces :)

She getting so big- already in the Bumbositter!

Ok, too cute...

Grandma (Brenda) was nice enough to keep McCall today while I got my hair done and she also decided to play dress-up with her. I just had to post this picture she took of her- too cute!!!

Why God Blessed Me With A Little Girl...

I've decided that God knew exactly what He was doing when he gave me a little girl.....to play dress-up with, of course! :)

My little twinkle toes!

A little blurry, but I tried to get a picture of the cute ballet shoe feet!

This one is for the Grandmas!

McCall's fashion lesson of the day: bad hair day? No worries! Put a hat on!

When I started taking her picture she was sitting... this is how she ended up

Uh Oh...she's rollin'!

Yesterday Davy and I gave McCall some tummy time and McCall decided she did NOT want to be on her tummy so she rolled on over to her back! Davy and I both looked at each other in disbelief, "Did she just do that?" I asked! We thought that this had to be a one time thing- she's too young to be rolling over, right? So, we did it again (and again). She rolled over 4 more times onto her back!!! Once we finally realized she would keep doing it we decided to get the video camera out. I will try to upload the video if I can figure out how to do it.

Finished Nursery...well sort of...

I thought I would have a little more time to get the nursery together, but since McCall decided to come 15 days before her due date, I didn't. So, here are few pictures of the nursery- it's finally starting to come together! Enjoy!!!

The middle frame still needs a picture... still a work in progress as you can see...

Thanks for the pretty frame Mary Beth!

One of my favorite pictures that Misty took.

This picture has nothing to do with the nursery- I just wanted to add it because I took it today, also. AND because I think this onesie is funny: "Does this diaper make my butt look big?"- she is her mother's child! :)
