Mary Reilly walks!!!!

Ok so it's not full on walking but I count three or four steps as walking. She started this morning.
I tried to fix the video and for some reason I can't. Sorry

I am going to be an Aunt!!!

I am so excited! It was a total surprise but a very good surprise. I am so glad because our baby's are going to be about a month apart.

I am so happy for both of you. I can't wait to meet this little person!

Mary Reilly's First Christmas/10 months old today

More eating the paper than opening it. Mary Reilly had a good first Christmas.

A work in progress

My brother is doing a portrait of Mary Reilly for Christmas. Needless to say these aren't finished. Trying to get a (almost) 10 month baby to stay still if work in itself. He finally had to take some pictures of her to work off of. When these are finished I will post the finished product.

Names!!

I haven't really talked about my pregnancy. I don't know why. I am almost 3 months along and I guess I really don't feel pregnant. (minus the getting sick all the time) Ladson and I were talking and picked some names. If it is going to be a girl (heehee) we are naming her Catherine (calling her Catie) Abigale Mills and of course if it is a boy Ladson Frazier Mills IV. Poor boy. Catherine is my great grandmothers name and Ladson just liked Abigale. I had an ultrasound done a few weeks ago but my dad's scanner is broken. I will post them later.

Of course these are subject to change and probably will.

Lawn mower rides

My dad took Mary Reilly on her first lawn mower ride. She liked it and didn't cry. It does look like she was scared. I just don't think she knows what to think of it.

Ladson

Ladson told me where these were taken but I forgot. Sorry. Just know they are somewhere in Iraq or that general area. I rarely get pictures of him over there so I like to post them when he sends them (hint hint Ladson). Six more months to go then he is back home. (For now) Have I ever mentioned I (and every other Army wife) HATE 15 month deployments.

On that subject: Air force only does 4 to 6 months

Navy does 6 months

Marines does 6 months

We are the only branch that does 15 months... Not fair!!!

Ok I feel better :)

First Time meeting Santa!

We went to the Miler Country Club Christmas party tonight. My dad plays Santa every year so they asked him. I thought she would cry but she really liked him. (I kinda think she knew it was her popsie) Can you guess which one I will be using on my Christmas cards this year?

Slacker I am

I am sorry for all who read this. I am such a slacker! It's been a long time since I have updated but I promise I will tomorrow. Mary Reilly will be going to see Santa tomorrow night so I will have plenty of pictures to show.

Mary Reilly in jail!

This is how I found Mary Reilly this morning after her nap. It's like she was in jail and loving it! She wakes up so happy!

We love playing with books!

Mary Reilly has her first cold. Poor baby. It's not bad just a running nose. I feel so bad because there isn't anything you can give them.

Ladson sent me a Christmas gift in the mail. This is how I got it. I don't think there is anything breakable. I just thought the postal service would care alittle.

The tree lighting

On Tuesday Mary Reilly, mom and I went to the Summerville Tree lighting. It was really cold so I had Mary Reilly all bundled up. You couldn't even see her cute Christmas outfit.
