What we've been up to...

So it's been a while. I thought I'd give an update on life since our new addition. She is so adorable, a ton of fun & WE LOVE HER!
Alice Teal has many names, and the poor girl may never know what to answer to. She is Alice, Teal, Ali, Tealy, and the list goes on; there are the other nicknames of precious, sweetheart, honey... we figure she'll let us know what she wants to be called when she gets older. I call her all of them, her dad calls her most of them, plus others.
Some of the things she's experienced and her firsts.
She has been to several football games, high school & college.
She has been golfing with us a couple times, she's good at driving the cart & getting her picture taken. :)
She has been with us to preg check cows, ship cows, & sell calves.
She has taken her first 2 flights, and been to Tennessee & Mississippi, she got to meet her MS relatives. They LOVED her!
She's spent her first night in a hotel.
She is a happy smiley baby, she smiles with her whole face, and her eyes LIGHT up. She will smile like crazy in the morning.
She follows me with her eyes, and likes to keep me in her line of vision.
She knows her mom & dad very well, and is starting to get pretty attached. She's usually pretty mellow about being passed around to everyone, but that has changed a little as of late. She wants Mama or Daddy!
If she could, we're both pretty sure, she'd already be trying to talk & run around. She is very verbal, & likes to jabber & coo. She never quits moving & squirming.
She had her blessing & was such a charmer to everyone that day. Hootie gave her a beautiful blessing, he did such a good job!
She has the most beautiful, long, dark, curly, thick eyelashes. She makes grown women jealous!
She loves when Daddy baths her, he is funny & lets her splash the water everywhere!
She was SUPERGIRL for Halloween, but the only trick or treating we did was Maddox takeout, but she sure looked cute with her cousin Trey, the HOT DOG!
She is a TALL girl, who now has some meat on her bones. The Dr. says she's getting some good cream! (She was so skinny when she was born, hello chicken legs.)
Some of her 2 month stats; Height- 24" (95%), Weight- 11lbs, 9oz (75%)
Hootie was her first babysitter, the first time I was away from her (went to Thriller) and they got along good.
I am heartbroken about going back to work next week, but I'm sure it'll be good once i get there & get back in the groove. I will just be doing locals, no overnights for now. That would be pretty rough on all of us. So there is a little about us, & our baby girl for now.
