Pictures of my precious daughter this week (so far)

Here are a few pictures I've snapped this week...so far (we all know I will take a few hundred more before the week is over- I just can't help myself). Father/daughter time

What she does best :)

Play mat time

Trying to talk to me :)

This face makes me laugh!

McCall is not too sure about the play mat sometimes.

Bad blogger

So, I've been a bad blogger this week for several reasons. The main reason being that I've had a cold/sinus infection- blah! BUT I'm feeling much, much better now! These are a few pictures of McCall this week- ENJOY! Getting ready for our Sunday walk around the pond.

This picture is kind of dark, but it's McCall and Drake on their way to visit Sissy and Boots.

Taking a nap with Davy- I never get enough of this!

So sweet!

Nap time- how sweet is this?

Ashlee and the girls came to see us while I was sick.

Peyton's outfit matched McCall's room!

Pryce giving McCall a kiss.

April 20th- what an exciting day!

McCall getting checked out by Dr. Whitehead at her first appointment

April 20th has turned out to be quite an exciting day and there is still half of the day left! First, I'm happy to say that Russell Price Miller made his arrival into the world today at 2:20 AM. Davy, McCall and I are so excited for Kristen and Blair and can't wait to meet Price.

Candice and Ashley visited baby Price in the hospital (thanks for sending out pictures!) Look how handsome he is in his little Gamecock hat! Secondly, McCall had her first doctor's appointment today with Dr. Whitehead. I was so nervous about taking her out alone, so when Davy's mom offered to go with me I decided that it might not be a bad idea for her to tag along. My heart was beating so fast when it came time for the nurse to put McCall on the scale. Had I been doing a good job with feeding her?? I could not believe my eyes when the scale read 6 pounds 14 ounces!!! I was so worried about her losing more weight and she had actually gained 8 ounces since birth and really 11 ounces since her last time being weighed. I was thrilled!!!! Also, she came in at 20 1/8 inches long (she was 19 3/4 at birth). My baby is growing!!! The rest of the visit went great. She goes back in 6 weeks for her 2 month check-up.

Fun with Mimi and Grandpa

Saturday morning Mimi (my mom) and Grandpa (my dad) came to visit McCall. The weather was beautiful, so Davy and I decided to take McCall and my parents to the Flower Show at the Farmer's Market. I have been a little hesitant to take her out because I don't really want a ton of people touching her (I know, I'm being paranoid), but decided that since this was an outside event that we could put her in the stroller and cover her up, thus reducing the amount of people that might touch her. McCall was in a great mood- she slept part of the time and looked around at all the people the rest of the time. We were so glad we were able to venture out for a few hours without a melt down (it's the small things that make us happy these days :) ). It was so nice to have my parents here. They were such a huge help with McCall and around the house- again, it's the small things that really help Davy and I out (like watching her so we can eat, shower, take a nap, etc.).Needless to say, our house was not a fun place to be for an hour or two after my parents left- we sure do wish they lived closer! :( Anyway, below are some pictures from the weekend.

I think it's so sweet to see how my dad is with McCall- precious!!!

You have to watch this lady- she keeps trying to take my baby home with her! Just kidding, Mom! :)

McCall on the way to the flower show (sporting her new outfit that D's mom got her- super cute!)

Tomorrow is McCall's first doctors appointment AND the first time I will be driving or taking McCall out by myself. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. I hope everything goes smoothly- I'll update the blog once we return from the appointment.

Picture Day!

Yesterday McCall had pictures made for her birth annoucement. She was such a little model for the first 30 minutes or so. She let us do just about anything with her without getting fussy, but we soon found out that 30 minutes was definitely her limit (and then came the huge melt down).

Anyway, I snapped a few pictures of her sitting in a basket with my camera. After looking at these, I can't wait to see how the "real" photographers pictures turned out.

Visitors

McCall has had SOOOOOOOO many visitors over the past two weeks and I wanted to post pictures with some of her visitors. Ashley looks like a pro! (Probably because she has 3 precious boys- Andrew-4, Henry- almost 2, and Jacob- 3 months old. McCall can't wait to play with the Love boys!!!!)

Kieley came to visit!!

Caroline, Terryn, Koehler, Ginni and Kim came to see McCall on her Birthday!

We are going to have to keep our eye on these two- K will probably teach McCall lots of bad habits :)

Look how happy McCall looks with Caro and Kim

McCall and G spending some time together.

McCall was so happy Carmen came to visit!

McCall's First Easter

Gregg Easter Family Photo Wrigley was upset that we took a family photo without him. And I hope no one gets upset by this picture- Wrigley LOVES McCall and would never hurt her. He is very curious about her and loves to sniff and lick her. As you can see here, he is sniffing her face.

I couldn't get this picture to turn (I know it is probably a very easy thing to fix, but I'm on a time clock right now- she is about to wake up to feed :) ) This is McCall on Easter. Davy's mom made the outfit she is wearing- too bad her hands are in the way- the pattern was very cute!

Cousin Drake all dressed up in his Easter outfit- so precious!

Cousin Pryce wanted to hold Drake- how cute is this???

I love this photo for several reasons- McCall is smiling and because she and Drake are both in the picture.

Aunt Nikki holding McCall Ok, so the next two pictures aren't from Easter, but I thought they were too cute not to include. I think McCall is saying "I can't hear you" in this picture. Davy must have taught her this... This is how I found McCall in her bouncy- I think this is how she feels about all the pictures I take of her. Davy definitely taught her this!!!

What a busy first Easter McCall had! Aunt Nikki, Uncle Eric and Cousin Drake came to visit!! I loved taking pictures of the two of them together and can't wait to look back on these pictures once they are older. Drake was born January 5, so they are a little under 3 months apart. The weekend was a lot of fun- not only because McCall and Drake were able to spend some time together, but also because Nikki totally spoiled us! She cleaned my house and cooked us breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday they were here..... that makes me want to ask- when are you coming back, Nikki? It's not me that needs you, it's McCall :) Anyway, it was amazing!

I'm so glad we had such a great weekend because I have to admit I was pretty bummed that we weren't able to see my family in Easley or go to church. I think this is the first Easter I have not attended church on Easter and it was really strange. Not only was it strange, it was ironic. It was ironic mainly because this Easter I had so incredibly much to thank God for- my sweet little girl is perfect and I could never say thank you enough for such a wonderful gift.

Also, I was upset that we couldn't make it to Easley because Saturday was my Grandmothers 87th Birthday. Happy Birthday again, Grandma!!!! McCall can't wait to meet her great-grandmother.

A week of "firsts"

This week has been a week of first time events for McCall- her first bath at home, her first walk, her first night in her crib, etc. So, of course, I took pictures of these events to share with everyone. I hope you enjoy! McCall was wide awake during the walk.

Wrigley decided to join our walk- he's still not sure what to think of McCall

Getting ready for her first walk around our house.

I just had to take a picture of Davy's Mt. Dew- he felt like he "needed" it to make it through the walk. Too funny!

McCall on her play mat.

Can you tell Davy is sleep deprived? But he does still love to hold her

I love this face- looks like she's thinking about something

Daddy's girl

Look at those little hands! Oh I could eat them up.

Much happier after I dried her off from her bath.

Three generations.

Miss McCall was not happy during her bath.

And she was so happy before the bath.....
