...Learning not to settle for the "American Dream"

This is our most recent picture. It was taken today! She is soo big. We can't believe how fast she is growing. I love cuddling with her!

One of our favorite times of year is the fall. It truly is beautiful here as the leaves change.... So we wanted to capture this beautiful picture for you who live in Florida to see.....especially in South Florida. Greetings! From us here in N.A!


Go ahead and admit it......She looks NOTHING like me! I know! She really is a spittin image of her daddy, which isn't a bad thing!





This is her bumbo seat (we are borrowing from the Joneses) to help her learn to sit up. We have "bumbo time" every day. She also is learning hand- eye coordination....Everything she sees or touches goes IN or TO her MOUTH!!!





Daddy's new way of eating dinner!



Precious!! Charis at 15 weeks.





HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We spent Woody's birthday at the Moss Rock Festival
here in Birmingham. It was such a fun family day! We even enjoyed a carriage ride!! Woody literally wore Charis all day in the baby bjorn. She LOVED it!









Before we got on.










Charis had a long day. She still seemed to stay on her schedule though (we have worked really hard on this) and she took her 2 hour nap on daddy!!!





SNOOZING!!












The Armstrong family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










So, I have "found my place". I love being the wife of Woody and the mother of Charis. Life is wonderful!!!














Hold on Charis!


























Woody's favorite time is in the morning. Even if she is not "scheduled" to wake up yet, he will come to me with that sweet, father face....and say " Can I go get her up now?" I have learned to say yes! and forget about keeping her on schedule in the morning. As soon as he walks in her room she smiles soooo big and starts kicking and laughing. This is clearly "their time." I do love her being on a schedule, but what I love more is this daddy who wants to start his day with his baby!



















































Funny story! Look at the BLUE PLASTIC BAG she is wearing. Well, we were at a friends house and had a blow out. We didn't have any diapers with us (my bad, I didn't refill the diaper bag) so we had to get creative.


























































She does everything with me!!





























































































Grandma!!!!






















































CHaris at 14 weeks


























Look at her jeans!!! :-) Judy and Dave got her these! SO cute!
