Gerogia- Hey ya'll

We had a great time in Georgia for my Aunt's wedding. I was already in Florida for work so Todd, the kids and my fam met me in Georgia on Thursday. Bodie did really well on his 1st flight and McKayla was soooo excited to fly in the airplane. She had her cute little backpack packed with fun things and loved watching the movies on the plane and playing with her Paka,Gigi, Nonnie,Uncle Nick and Uncle Scotty. I hadn't seen the fam since that Sunday so when they got to the hotel I ran down as fast as I could and scooped the kiddos in my arms. I loved seeing their faces and getting big hugs and kisses!!!! My Aunts wedding was really pretty and was at a restored plantation. The rehearsal dinner was at a cute little place back in the woods and had a fun garden to walk around. My Aunt and her husband have a lake house that we were able to all hang out at and go kayaking, play ladderball, lounge around and almost step on snakes (yes, I almost stepped on a HUGE black and yellow snake...within less than a foot...I can't believe I didn't faint). We also got to go into Atlanta for a few hours and check out the Aquarium as well as go to Juliette and have Fried Green Tomatoes (this is where they filmed the movie). It was so nice to spend time with family and I absolutely love that our kids are getting to know their great-grandparents so well :-). The plane ride home was a bit more interesting since Bodie and I both had a stomache bug...I held it together, but poor Bodie got sick all over the back of the plane and then all over Todd :-(. Needless to say we were happy when we finally got home :-)

McKayla's 1st Haircut

At 2 1/2 McKayla got her first real haircut. I debated between taking her to my girl or one of those kiddie places, but when I get something in my head that I want to do, I have to do it now...so we went to one Cookie Cutters by our house. She really still doesn't have a lot of hair to cut, but it needed to be trimmed and evened up. She LOVED the place. She played on the slide and then got to pick out a movie to watch while she got her hair cut (she of course picked Handy Manny). She got to sit in the car chair and wear the penguin smock. The girl trimmed the back and gave me some to save and then trimmed the front a little. McKayla asked for a "pony" so the girl gave her a quick blowdry with a round brush and a cute pony in the front. McKayla then got to pick out a sucker and a balloon. She absolutely loved the experience and although $13 seems steep for a kids trim it really was fun to see her be such a big girl :-) and they treated her so sweet!

Bodie- 8 Months

Bodie is 8 months now and definitely has a personality of his own! He LOVES to eat and will eat almost everything we give him. He's especially loved adding in the little puffs and other finger foods. The poor little guy got pretty sick this last month between teething (he's getting 4 new teeth), the flu and a cold but he didn't lose any weight b/c he's an eating machine :-). He's about 18.5 lbs now. He isn't full blown crawling yet, but he does the army crawl, backward crawl or rolls to get where he wants to go. I finally gave in and put him downstairs in his crib (rather than our room) and he has loved it. He sleeps really well down there and definitely likes having more room to roll around. He's still a very happy and smiley baby and can enterain himself for long periods of time. He will let you know when he is mad though...he will yell out at you and get all sorts of huffy (this usually occurs when I take something away that I don't want him to have). He still loves playing with McKayla and they are sooo funny together! He has really started copying what she does and it is the greatest thing in the world to see them communicating with each other and playing their own games together. Their favorite is laying on their backs and throwing their legs up in the air and then bringing them down to hear the loud "thud". He's saying mamma and dadda to the "right" person and has many other baby noises he likes to make (he and McKayla also love to growl together...they think it's SO funny). He still likes daycare and the two woman that watch him there love him (they snatch him right out of my arms when I get there to give him hugs and cuddles). I seriously can't believe he is already hitting these milestones...I swear he was just born, but it's so fun to watch him grow and learn and we are trying to take in every moment of it :-). Oh yeah, many of our friends claim he is already a ladies man...the kid seriously already flirts with all the ladies...doesn't matter the age...his age, my age...we're in SO much trouble :-0

P.S. Pics will be coming soon...I got professional ones done and am just waiting to get them back
