Summer Fun!

We have had such fun this week with play dates and our new baby pool! We went to Winchester, TN to visit Adrianne and baby Collier and Kathryn and Miller (who just turned one.)

Paisley with her "Aunt Adrianne" and three mamas with their babes. 

Sweet memories with special friends. 

 Traffic was stopped on our way home, and as we scooted closer, we could see why. Traffic was still stopped when I took this pic, don't worry :o)

We had a play date with Emory in our new baby pool too! 

P was quite the attention getter (of course!) so she was front and center with the camera. 

Sweet Emory in his coordinating frog gear :o)

 It's unfortunate that Paisley's swimsuit wouldn't stay up... 

It was Lilly's so it's special, but we won't be wearing it again :o(

 They still love blueberries. Here's evidence-

 Mac has really done some fun stuff this week! A tooth is starting to bud, and he's playing peek a boo. As you'll see in the video below, Mac does a funny smacking thing when he eats sometimes. It won't be cute much longer, but it cracks us up now! Paisley is getting around quite well, and Mac is starting to follow suit. I've been in denial about baby proofing my home, but the time is here. I took a couple of videos of Mac's new "tricks".

Paisley has started to figure out how we work around her crib... basically we belly crawl when she's awake to prevent a meltdown. Now that she knows what we do, she pulls down her crib bumper and looks for us. This morning Jordan went to her room, and she had crawled to the other end of the crib, pulled down the bumper, and was staring at the door. Seriously.

 Today I braved the baby pool by myself... 

AND I took a few one-handed pictures. We had our yogurt and fruit in the pool, can you tell?

 Then Paisley nestled in my lap.  

Mac was tired of the water so he sat beside the pool and played.

  

Can we talk about the fact that M and P will be NINE months old tomorrow?! What?! I have loved every age, and this stage is SO fun as they interact more with their environment and reciprocate all the hugs and kisses they get.

TGIF!!!!
