Look at this face.  Cecilia, you are the most beautiful baby.  Your eyes are one in a million.  You watch your dad and I so much more now.  When you cry, tears stream down your face.  I can barely take it.  

A couple pictures from the Indy visit.

This is a little outfit your Marm bought you. You are so yummy. I just can't get enough of you!


Here is your mom and dad at a wedding.  Marm and Grandpam came to Chicago to take care of you while we enjoyed friends at a fabulous wedding!  The next day your dad and I went to a cub's game where he surprised me with tickets on the rooftop.  We had some delicious hot dogs, pizza, and ice cream.  It was so much fun!


Ella came to visit you.  She was so sweet. She thought you were her baby.  She cried when you when down for a nap because she wanted to hold you.  Ella also loved your toys.  She climbed into your bouncer and laughed along with the adults.  I just love her. 


Here is a special picture! Aunt Kelly with Lola and Ella.  Kelly came over with Lola to see you.  Lola is so darn cute.  

Indy Visit.


This is your great grandmother Joretta.  She was the ultimate best growing up.  My grandmother loved her three grandkids.  She went to my games, came on family trips, always had your aunties and mom spend the night, and showed us the way to be an independent woman.  She played hide and go seek, made up fun games for us to play, and made the world's best peanut butter and honey sandwiches.  Sadly, Joretta became sick with alzheimers.  For years she lives with us and gave me memories to last a lifetime. Some very funny and others not so much.  Now she lives in a sorority type home for woman suffering from the disease.  She does not know who we are which breaks my heart but sometimes I can tell she feels safe when we are around.  At one point when she met you she cried and asked if you were really hers.  Mackenzie and I cried.  It was very sweet. Maybe she understood for that moment in time.

Here you are with your cousin Tyler at Aunt Alicia's house.  He is the sweetest boy! He kept looking at you to see if you were real. You are so lucky to have him.  He is an extraordinary young boy!

Mamaw and Papaw love you so much.  Mamaw holds you tight and lays back in her chair while you fall asleep. We are going to visit them in January! It will be so much fun!


We went to eat with your Nana and Pop. Pop took off two days to be with you. Below Nana holds you while you fall asleep.  She knows just how to calm you down when you are upset. 


We went to Indy for a week! It was so much fun. We had friends over for some food and drinks one night. We went to visit Mamaw and Papaw.  We stayed at your Nana and Pop's house one night.  It was a great time. I can't wait to move back!

Photo Shoot.


I could barely take these pictures I was laughing so hard. Less than two months here and you are so chubby!

My Girls Came to Visit.


Aunt Annie and you hanging. Courtney drinking because I made her! Ha.

Look at you with Aunt Courtney.  Next time Ella will have to come!



Whitney was sick the whole time, pregnant with a little button. (A girl?)
She took you to the rooftop pool of our building and had to fend off mean looks from the old ladies.

Where is Shelly? I can't find the picture. She was in the kitchen making our drinks?
