McCall's First PAID babysitter!

Davy and I are so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful parents, (especially moms- sorry, David, Dad and Ken- we love you guys too, but we know it's really Mom and Brenda who do the dirty work- aka-dirty diapers, spit up, etc..) who are willing to babysit our sweet McCall. But both of our moms had plans (how dare them!!!! just kidding) on Saturday night and we had to pay for a sitter.
I wasn't near as nervous as I think I should have been- probably because we were only going to dinner with some friends and because we got Amber (who has been around McCall plenty of times) to babysit. Amber is Will's girlfriend (Will is Davy's cousin) and will most likely one day be part of the family, so I felt very comfortable leaving Miss McCall in her care.

McCall watching Davy and I get ready (obviously I don't follow the Bumbositter guidelines of not putting it on an elevated surface- I was standing beside her the whole time for those who are concerned :) )

"Mommy and Daddy, you are going where? Without me?" Amber arrived to keep McCall This picture has nothing to do with the post- it's just from this weekend and I thought it was funny. She looks scared to death. She probably has bad dreams about flashes of light because I take so many pictures of her- sorry sweet girl!

Busy, busy, busy

Life has gotten super busy lately and I have been slack on posting- so sorry. Below are some pictures from the past week or so with McCall.
Tummy time for McCall
...then McCall discovered she could see the tv
McCall: "Mom, I can't see the tv"
"No, seriously, I'm missing my favorite show!!!" At the pond with Grandma
What is this? A picture with Mommy?!?
Oh how I love that sweet face!
Church time Davy wanted to play with McCall
then he realized her idea of "playing" was pulling his hair :)

Happy Birthday, America!!!!

McCall had a fun and exciting 4th of July. She watched Davy play baseball in two SC Alumni games (Friday in Columbia against the Blowfish and Sunday in Florence against the Redwolves). McCall was VERY proud of her dad- he had two great games! McCall also experienced fireworks for the first time in Columbia. I wasn't sure how she would react, but she did great! Also, Mimi and Papi (my mom and dad)came to visit for the weekend!!! Saturday morning we all headed down to the Spirit of Florence at Timrod Park. McCall was still a little too young to participate in the activities, but it was still a lot of fun. We spent the rest of the afternoon grilling out and just spending quality time together. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better 4th!
Our little lady- crossing her legs! :)
Happy girl!
Silly girl
Ernie got to meet Miss McCall! Davy and McCall at Friday's game against the Blowfish
Not too sure about the swing....
McCall is not so fond of the swinging.....
Decided swinging was not so bad
The park wore her out!

Thanks for my 4th of July outfit, Mimi!
McCall making faces! haha!
Look who stole McCall's hat!
Having a heart to heart talk Papi: "McCall, go check your piggy bank when Papi leaves!"
Who is that kissing you, McCall?
McCall loving on Papi
Papi telling McCall goodbye
Holding on to Papi's shirt(that happens to have her name on it)- so sweet!
A quick Sunday nap before heading to the baseball game

Looking for her Daddy!
Davy would have NEVER stopped to smile for the camera like this when he was in college- I think coach Tanner might have a little something to do with that :)

3 Months Old Already??

I am having the hardest time believing that McCall is already 3 months old!?! Where did the time go? My once 6 pound 6 ounce and 19 3/4 inches long baby girl is now a healthy 11 pounds 11 ounces and 25 1/8 inches long!!!! McCall's personality is truly starting to shine through. Right now McCall:

  • LOVES bath time!(as a new born she was NOT fond of this)
  • loves to play in the bouncer
  • HATES (and I mean HATES with a passion) burping
  • smiles a lot
  • makes lots of noises
  • moves ALL the time
  • loves watching the ceiling fan go round and round
Below are a few pictures from today- enjoy!
See- even McCall is shocked that she is already 3 months old! BUT she does want you to see how big her foot is!
Daddy/Daughter time- super sweet!
