Big Girl

Serena is not quite to the right weight to be able to ride in the built-in child seat in Grammie's van, but we decided she's close enough. It was nice not to have to mess with the car seat! :P She really enjoyed facing forward in the seat and sitting up. On the way to church on Sunday, she made us laugh because of how she straddled the seat (like she's doing in this picture today). It looked so funny since she was wearing such a pretty girlie pink dress and then was sitting so UNlady-like!

Oh! And, as a VERY IMPORTANT side-note, Serena turned 10 months old today!!! :D

AT LEAST Thirty-Second Thursday

Telling an apparently VERY exciting story about the blinds, playing her piano, chasing her ball in the pool

Snapshots from Today

Don't look at ME! I had NOTHING to do with that mess all over your kitchen floor!

Spitting is fun!

What?

Whassup?

New Kiddie Pool

We're getting our first real heat wave of the summer this week! It's actually pretty nice since last week was pretty chilly! On Saturday, Jordan went with Serena & I to Walmart and he got this kiddie pool for our 'kids.' It's a big hit with both Macy and Serena!

Serena took a break from splashing to chase her pink bumpy ball

Church Picnic Day!

Fast Asleep

Sometimes I wake up before Serena, but usually she wakes me up. When she wakes up first, she wakes Jordan and I up by crawling on us (her goal is usually to reach the center spindle top on our headboard). On the somewhat rare occasion that I wake up before her, she is usually sleeping all sprawled out with her mouth hanging open (see picture below). She's pretty funny, though, because when she does wake up she is WIDE AWAKE. There's no 'in between' stage for her. One minute, she looks like that picture below. The next minute she has rolled over and is crawling toward me saying 'ba-ba-ba-ba.'

Always Busy

AT LEAST Thirty-Second Thursday

Serena is getting pretty good at walking with her walker!

Bathtime and a New Tooth

Yesterday, Jordan was playing on the floor with Serena. Suddenly he said he thought Serena had a tooth on top! I was like, Really!? 'Cause I'd been watching for them to start coming in, but hadn't seen anything. He was pretty certain, and told me where to look. Sure enough, there was a little sliver of white. I stuck my finger in there and could definitely feel it; apparently she was working on cutting it last week and we didn't even know it! She was a bit fussy and clingy last weekend, but I just chalked it up to all our running around with family and not getting regular naps. Though it did kind of concern me that a couple times she cried and cried when I would try to put her down for a nap, which wasn't like her at all. I'm so glad to know she had a good reason! The funny part is that it is not one of the front middle teeth; it's the one to the right of the middle teeth! She's going to look like a jack o' lantern! Haha! :D

All those adorable smiles? They were for Daddy!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Serena had fun at Daddy's baseball game!

A Trip to Walmart

Can you believe she's big enough to sit up in the cart now?! It shocks me every time I put her in there!

At the Park

AT LEAST Thirty-Second Thursday

One of my favorite things is watching Serena fall asleep, and today I finally captured it on camera! I decided to transition it into a montage of my collection of pictures of Serena sleeping. Hope you enjoy it!

Don't Take Your T-Shirt Too Seriously!
