fun weekend in daphne

we went to daphne, al this weekend to visit kyle's family. his brother flew in from miami and we had a fun, relaxing weekend. Lucy Neal enjoyed spending time with everyone, and even got to taste some cool whip, which she loved!

We have a tooth!

Finally at 11 months old, Lucy Neal's first tooth broke through this weekend! We thought it would never happen. Until now, it hasn't slowed her down eating...she eats more table food than any of the kids in her class, and they all have a mouthful of teeth. It's no telling what she will eat now!

11 months old

A few new things at 11 months...laughing a lot more, saying "dog" everytime she hears one bark, saying 'baby' when she wants her baby and she carries it everywhere! Don't think she will let you hold it for one second...she will crawl as fast as she can and snatch the baby out of your hand. She absolutely LOVES to play on the bed...here is some footage.
