Officially Everywhere

Mims got a new headband that she is planning on wearing during football season. She is working on the best way to wear it.

She decided that wearing it on her head instead of on her face was a better look.


Mims has been crawling around more and more lately. One day she tried to get on the table.

The next day she succeeded.

Never let Robert babysit your child. This how Mims and Robert started their Saturday morning.

And this pictures is for those who says Mims never cries.

Big Week

Been a big week so far. Mims's cousin Eli is up this week staying with us and going to Baseball camp. He and Mike are becoming good friends. Oh, and did I mention that Mims turned 9 months old and that she is crawling and has a tooth.

The 4th in Heber Springs, Arkansas

The Neelys were nice enough to invite us to their lake house over the 4th. Check out the activities below.

Margaret and Robert headed to watch the fireworks

Mims and Leighton headed to celebrate the 4th.

Mims around the house

Mims has been hanging around the house lately.
Here she is working with Dada on his day off. Have you ever seen anybody so exited to have a keyboard? (I'm talking about Mims, not Robert).

Mims is trying on moms shades.




And here is what happens if you leave your backdoor open with an 8 month old unattended.

Running out of titles

I am running out of titles for all these posts. This is a post with pictures of Mims. Pretty much like all the other posts.


Here are Mims and Leighton down by the pond in the backyard. Mims loves the water.


Here is Mims just sitting around wondering why we are always shoving a camera in her face.


And for a finale a short video of Mims clapping. When Mims went to daycare today Mims showed them her new trick. They promptly told us that trick was weeks old. What else are they keeping from us? Can she do algebra?

Blogworthy

With iPhones and digital cameras everywhere these days we get submissions for the blog all the time. Here are some pictures from last weekend.


Here is Nelson's submission of the picture he took after he and Mims hung out at the pool. She is giving him some kind of look.


John has hung out with Mims several times but this is the first time he has held her. He broke his long standing rule of not holding a baby until it can walk. He claims he waits this long to make sure they can withstand a fall.

The Beach

Mims went to the beach last week. Lots of pictures were taken to document the occasion. Thanks to Grandmama and Sweet Tea for a great trip.

Too much lovin
