Happy Birthday Aunt Amanda

Happy Birthday Aunt Amanda! 

We love you!!

Are you ready??

We are so ready for fall and football season!  It was such nice weather Saturday, we couldnt resist going for a stroll on the quad. It was AR's first time on campus and I do think she loved it.  She kicked back in her stroller and just took it all in.  I dressed her in one of her bama dresses so that if she was in the mood, we might could take a few pictures and we were able to get a few and that was about it.  We did a little shopping and walking around on the strip and then headed to lunch at DePalmas.  Anna Riley had her first taste of spaghetti and she really liked it. I mean are you surprised?  I could tell she liked DePalmas as much as we do!  :) 

I really like this place! 

And I like those puffs even more!

Spitting

Spitting is her new favorite thing!  She also likes to blow rasberries on people and herself. She does it and then just laughs because she thinks it is so funny!  When did she grow up so fast?? Where did my littly bitty baby go?  I am loving every minute of it but WOW it is flying by so fast I just want to savor every moment..even spitting! haha

I love you, little one

I love reading to Anna Riley and it is amazing how much she seems to love books already.  One of her favorites (and yes she does have favorites)  is I love you, little one by Nancy Tafuri.  We read this one almost, if not every day beause she loves it so much.  And I just love watching her as I read it.  It is about these baby animals that ask their Mama's if  they love them and the end of each page the text says "Do you love me, Mama?  I smile everytime because everytime I read that sentence she turns to looks at me as if she were saying "well..do you?? haha.   It goes through several animals asking and the Mama answering and explaining and everytime she looks at me and sometimes smiles.  I just love it! :)

Daddy's girl

Riley and Anna Riley have been getting some special time together since I go to my Zumba class usually 3 nights a week.  I have been doing this for a few months now and I think they really enjoy the time together.  This was Tuesday night right before I was about to walk out the door for class.  Can you tell she is a Daddy's girl? 

CHOM

This week's playdate we decided to meet at CHOM (The Children's Hands on Museum) here in Tuscaloosa.  This has always been on of my favorite places (even as an adult).  It is such a great place for kids and they have activities for a wide range of ages and they just keep adding new centers.  We went to Yummy Tummy Time which is songs and a snack and AR loved that!  They whole time we were singing she kept looking up at me smiling! We had s much fun and I cant wait to take her back...I know it will just keep getting more fun the older she gets!

Tucker (the only boy right now) 

He was not interested in me taking his picture!

Tea time in "Grandma's Attic" (dress up area)

That hat was one of the most ridiculous looking hats I've ever seen! haha

We found a prettier hat!

Caroline must have been the only other one that would let me take pictures

Just a swingin'

Yesterday evening we could actually enjoy being outside for a little while because the weather was not so hot.  I have been getting so excited everytime I see its only going to be 90! haha Only in the south would we get so excited over that because that is still so hot but much better than a heat index of 110!  Anna Riley got to enjoy her swing for a little while.
