May Happenings!

Aunt Lydia with Megan celebrating her Masters in Education from Vanderbilt.

Poor Aunt Jessica! This is what her car looked like after her exercise class!

A teenager was in a hurry to get to her Final Exams at Brentwood High School....oops!

Coach and his friends running in the Memorial Day Bolderboulder 10k in Colorado

Megan likes Alleys turtle.

Alley trying to tell Megan that's my turtle, but Megan tells her it's "Mine!"

Aunt Lydia's graduation from Vanderbilt was on a warm weekend in May. Everyone got together at their house that night. Lydia's mom had fun playing with me. We went all over the house looking at pictures and toys.

Coach went to the Holy Lands and brought back a noisey recorder. Mom and Dad took it away until I'm older because it's so loud. Thanks Coach!

Coach ran the Bolderboulder and sent a pic with his buddies. Everybody is a runner in this family. Alley will be right there beside everyone in a few years the way she likes to move.

Aunt Jessica went to an exercise class early in the morning and she came out of class to see her car with no front bumper attached. Aunt Jessica wasn't a happy camper that day!

Aunt Lydia and Uncle Ben took care of a house over Memorial Day so Mom and Dad loaded me up and away we went to their house and their big pool. The pool is great. Everyone can touch and walk around! Alley loves the water and likes to go under.

After mom finished the school year, Mama C left for Colorado. Alley is loving having mom home for the summer. So many things to do!

Babysitting Wyatt and Megan

Megan keeping Wyatt happy in his walker. He knows to pick up his feet because Away I go!

Hey, Megan that looks like fun. Can I play too!

If Megan can boss me then I can boss Wyatt, right Mom?

I am so proud. I pushed my little cousin!

Spring Time at the McGaugh's!

So happy and content.

Aunt Becca, Alley's touching me!

Ok Mom, I won't touch her! But maybe if I sit down I can!

10 and 11 Months old

Dad and Alley on Daddy's new mower. John Deers made a big mower.

Now Daddy has more time to play and do chores around the house now.

Pretty cool....I got mom's glasses!

Here mom you wear them now!

I love water. My pool is great but "Mom, can we go to the big pool now?"

Making time to post on the blog hasn't been easy with a busy 10 month old. So many things happened with Alley all at once.... walking, crawling and climbing. And all at such an early age. She still walks better than she crawls! If Alley wants something she will figure out what it will take to get it. Walk, crawl and maybe a little climb or reach to nab it. Her day starts at 5:00 am ready to greet mom with giggles and talk. Milk or juice to quench the thirst and then on to a little tv so mom can get some coffee and wake up. After playing for a couple of hours it's time for breakfast and then a nice long walk maybe falling asleep on the walk or ready for a morning nap when home. Hour or 2 of sleep and then ready to go to the pool or play in the yard with her toys or the kids next door. Lunch, down for a nap and then a nice long stroller ride before dinner and bath time. Lots of pictures to follow showing how much she has grown. It's hard to believe she's not a baby anymore. She's a "Busy, ready to go Toddler!"
