Never Leave Your Baby Unattended.

There is a sticker monster on the loose!

Bucket is so in love with her baby sister.  She always looks forward to an open opportunity to decorate her.

This kinda reminds me of the time when Butter decorated her little sister.

Happy Birthday Baby!

It was like a year flashed by!

Big Brothers and Sisters really enjoy decorating for the birthday girl!

How quickly she has become mobile.

I don't want a stinkin' party hat!

"I like her."

We weren't too sure if she would even care about the doll...

She loves her new doll 'Annie!!!'

She actually hugs her new doll every time she sees her and carries her around.  It is super adorable!

"Ohhhh, pretty..."

 "What do you mean I can't touch the candle?"

SO dainty!  She was not at all interested in digging into her "cake."

But she did like the lil' orange candies!

Happy Birthday Princess.

She's a Walking!

Growler Bucket has been walking for a little over a week now.  She thinks she is pretty neat stuff.  I think she is right.

She is growing way too fast.

She'll be ONE tomorrow!

Seems like only days ago I was posting this announcement of her birth. Time is so precious, and we have cherished every moment with this special little girl.  I don't want to forget a second of it!

I pray Baby Bucket will always be a merciful, kind and mighty warrior for Christ, and that she will love the Lord our God with her whole heart, all her soul, and all her might.  We love you Bucket!  May you live long in the land and may your life always bring Glory to Him.  ~Amen

You Blinked again!

My Sweet, Little, Precious, Growler!

She is nine months old now, and really proud of her new abilities.  Last week she started crawling like she was born crawl, and she didn't even give me a week before she started pulling herself up on things.  She is keeping me busy, making sure the floors and now tables are cleaned off of any baby dangers. of course she loves to put everything in her mouth.

 I can't believe how time has flown.  Sniff, sniff!

Growler

Bucket has a new nickname. She is Growler now. She has become fond of making this obnoxious adorably sweet growling noise at the most uh, unique times (think library, prayer, bible study, you get it) 

She growls. 

When she is not growling (or tasting chickens) she is learning how to crawl.  This was her first attempt.  She was so proud of herself.

She's our little Growler.

Love her!

Oh, my darling!

Who? Me??

Those baby blues...

And do you see those eye lashes? (click the picture to make it bigger)

My, oh my.  

What a sweetie!

6 Months in a Blur!

This little Bucket of sweetness is growing fast! I for some reason imagined that she wouldn't grow much since we left Mississippi. Maybe I thought all the time in the car seat would stunt her growth, but no. She is saying "da-da" much to her daddy's delight, she started sitting up a couple of days ago, and last night I came across the scale and she is a whopping 17 lbs of squishy cuteness! She absolutely loves being squished and snuggled and smooched and we sure enjoy spoiling her. She is going to be running before we know it!
