Baby Lover

Our very good friends had their baby girl the other day.  Savannah has been waiting to hold that baby for nine long months.  She sat patiently in the waiting area while we waited for Nola to be born… asking me every five minutes if she was here yet.  The moment when she finally got to hold Nola was priceless.  Savannah was so happy and just beaming.  Needless to say, we have made several visits to see Nola since her birth.  Who doesn't love holding a sweet newborn.

Savannah and her uncle Scotty.  This picture makes me smile because I have the sweetest picture from when Savannah was a newborn of Scott holding her.  Seven and a half year later and Savannah is holding his newborn.  I love it.

The whole gang… baby Nola has NO idea the craziness she was just born into.

She Can't Be Six Already

There is just no way that this newborn...

or that this one year old...

is now a six year old... seriously, it happened so quickly.

Six looks good on her though.  She is so smart, so beautiful, and so challenging.  She keeps me and her daddy on our toes.  She is the best big sister, a really good singer, and a very thoughtful and sweet friend to her classmates.  She has one loose tooth, read an entire book (minus a couple of words) to me last night, and can't wait to get to school every day.  I can't wait to see what the next six years have in store for her.  Twelve seems so far away, but I'm sure it will be here before I know it.

Seven Months

It is getting soooo much harder to take these pictures of Ryder. Not because he is fussy or anything like that, but because he can barely fit in the actual picture anymore. Huge baby. The next several months of pictures should be interesting.
