Louise's first Easter

Louise had a wonderful first Easter. We went to an Easter egg hunt yesterday at church where she fiercely hunted for the eggs =) She also got to see the Easter Bunny! We then had church this morning followed by an eventful day watching the Masters. Here are pictures from the weekend.

9 month check up

Louise had her 9 month check up on Friday. She was 20 1/2 lbs (75th percentile) and 29 1/2 inches long (>95th percentile). She did not weigh quite as much as I thought, but is growing well according to the doctor. She did not have any shots...only a toe prick to test her iron, which was in the normal range.

We went to the park today. It was a beautiful day in Atlanta. She really enjoyed being there...so many people to watch. Here's a short video.

Visit from Gogga and Granddaddy

Anna and Bruce came to visit this past weekend. Who knew it was going to snow 3-4 inches? We had a nice time playing in the snow. Winnie loved it!

Louise says "hi"

Louise said her first word! OK, maybe it's a stretch, but it's still really cute.

Here are a couple recent videos...she's 8 months now!

Trip to Blowing Rock - Jan 16-19

We went to Blowing Rock for MLK weekend with the Richardson side of the family. We had 16 people in one house and I think it was a success. We went skiing while we were there...a first for many of us. Cole really did outstanding. He had never skied before and by the end of the last day he was on the blacks! How many people can say that? I did not take that many pictures, but here's a couple.

Louise's first Christmas

I've fallen behind again...sorry. We had a great Christmas in Wilmington and Elizabeth City. On our way back to Atlanta we stopped in Grandfather Mountain and visited with Sammy/Jane, Lee/Amy, Elizabeth/John/Jack, and Grant/Kathleen. It was so good to see old friends. Here are some pictures from all of those visits.
