Rosalie Grace

Just realizing it has been forever since I have posted to this blog. We have been busy, busy, busy ... and Rosalie is growing like crazy!! Apologies to anyone who actually checks this regularly. :( I will try to do better! Rosalie is now 2 years old, three months ... wow ... baby girl is growing so quickly. She talks constantly now ... and sings ... and counts .... and runs. I have to say the "terrible twos" don't really feel so terrible to us. We are enjoying every minute of our baby girl's twos so far--save the occasional tantrum of course. Next course of business, potty training and to rid ourselves of the beloved "paci" not sure which to tackle first--both are equally frightening to me!! Here are a few catch up pics! Enjoy!

Rosalie's First Trip to the Beach!

We had an amazing beach vacation with Donna & Larry (Memuther and Poppa), Daphney, Donald, & Mandy. Rosalie has a blast playing in the sand, swimming in the pool, and dancing and playing with Daphney. What a fun trip ... I was so sad for it to be over! Rosalie loved the sand and hated the ocean--but who can blame her? It is full of sharks and jelly fish and other scary things ... we loved Turquoise Place and Orange Beach. Can't wait for our next beach vacation already!

Rosalie June 2011

Rosalie came home last night after spending the week with the grandparents in B'ham. She woke up Sunday with a really bad cold and we didn't want to send her to school until she was all better. She had a great time ... though I think she threw a few fits the last day or two. She got to help her cousin Samuel celebrate his 5th birthday party and to visit lots of family. Thanks Granddaddy and Grandmommy for keeping her!

Rosalie June 2011

My little cutie and me at Dragon Park June 11th. We hosted a play date event for the Lawyers Association for Women Practicing Parents Committee. We had so much fun! Rose is growing by leaps and bounds every day ... such a smart little girlie. I cannot believe how big she is and how talkative!

Rosalie Grace 17 Months Old

Rosalie had her pics taken last weekend by Sarah Gutin at Eyeris Photography. The pictures are amazing and Rosalie didn't stay still for any of them for more than 2 seconds. Sarah is so talented and I am so excited about these amazing pictures! Hooray!

Saturday mornings usually start with Rosalie's favorite breakfast--mini chocolate-chip pancakes. At the end of breakfast today, Rosalie ended up in the bath!

The holidays

so its been forever since I posted. Work has been crazy this month and we have been super-busy--traveling for the holidays and it seems as if December flew by before I realized it was gone! Rosalie is running around like crazy now .... always busy and talking .... and moved up to the toddler house at school. She is in a class now with all boys! Her best friend Ophelia moves up later this week so there will at least be two girlies. The boys have apparently taught her how to play cars. :) Here are some recent pics.
