Yeah for Uncle Walker!

My brother, Walker, was in town last week for his Spring Break.  Mary Laine loves loves loves him!  She smiles more for him than for anyone else and is just a big flirt with him.  He was so sweet with her and even babysat her one night.  We miss you, Uncle Walker.  Come back soon!!

Spring is in the Air

We have had some great spring weather in Mississippi. Mary Laine, Deacon and I love going outside to play on pretty days. Here's Mary Laine in the yard one sunny afternoon:


Later that night, this is how I found her sleeping:

It was as if she was doing a little cheer for Springtime in her dreams.

Excersaucer and Jumperoo

Because Mary Laine has had such great head control these days, I decided to pull out the excersaucer and jumperoo. I have a feeling that she'll appreciate them much more once her feet actually touch the bottom. Enjoy the video...

I'm Mobile!

I put Mary Laine on her tummy time mat the other day (thanks Aunt Mary!). This is where she started (notice that she's not happy about it):

... and this is where she ended up:

Play Group!

There are alot of babies that were born within a few months of Mary Laine. Several of us got together for our first play group on Friday. Of course, Mary Laine is the only one screaming in the picture:

Shameless Plug

We order our diapers, wipes, and other essentials from Diapers.com.  The price is right, shipping is free (if your order is more than $49, which is easily attainable), and the diapers are delivered right to your door within 2 business days of your order.  If you have never ordered diapers from this site, we recommend it.  For your first order (must be over $49), if you enter the code GJDH9205, you will received $10 off (and we will receive a $1 credit when you use our code).  This truly is a shameless plug, but when you're blowing over $40 a month on diapers, you can use all of the help you can get!!
