But first I need to give Laurel's stats from her recent doctor's appointment. She is 24.5 inches long (75%) and 12 lbs. 11 oz. (approx. 37%). She is a little string bean!
This picture is from Laurel's 3 month photos that I took in our backyard. Even though I missed and only got her eyes, I think they look so cute and "smiley".
Here she is with her new jungle gym that great-granny bought her. She loves playing with it. Especially the monkey on the left of the picture. I'm not sure if I should be worried that she is gazing at herself with such adoration (that is a mirror on the other side of the "tiki hut".)!
Poor Laurel...I took her outside for some nice fall pictures, but it was way too cold for her.
I just thought this was such a cute way for her to be sleeping! (Don't worry...I didn't just leave her there where she could roll off!)
There is much rejoicing from the fruits of Laurel learning to suck her thumb! She is really able to soothe herself to sleep and it doesn't fall out like a pacifier. Plus, I think it is very cute.
Recently Bill built a firepit in our backyard and we had a fun family night making s'mores and talking. Add s'mores to the list of things that I didn't like in Charlotte and like in Knoxville (Egg salad and baked beans are also on that list...go figure!).
It was so wonderful to have Dad, Mom, and Mike come for Thanksgiving at the Kittrell's. We had such a great visit filled with lots of eating, talking, and laughter. I am so grateful that the Connollys and Kittrells are such great friends! Mom and I got a lot of special time together!! Here we are before talking Laurel on a nice, long walk. I am SO grateful for a mom like mine!
Granny (Bill's mom) was able to join us for Thanksgiving which is always a wonderful joy. She really loves her little great-granddaughter and it is so fun to have them spend time together. I hope that I am as joyful and contented as Granny when I am her age.
Celebrating "Pop's" birthday!!
NOT celebrating "Pop's" birthday. This picture cracks me up!
So does this one!!
How can you not adore this little person!
Laurel adores her bath time! She gets a bath most every night and no matter how tired she is she will almost always be very excited in her bath and splash around and smile. After seeing how many bubbles she ate, I think I will wait on the bubble baths until she is a bit older.
I was talking on the phone to Anne recently and telling her about how I didn't used to like these little hairbands on other peoples babies, but now that Laurel has them I just think they are the cutest thing in the world!! Do you agree with me?
"Gosh, I have such a terrible stomach ache!"
Looking back over these pictures I realize that allowing Laurel to play with plugged in Christmas lights really isn't such a great idea! God is the one protecting our little girl!
This is one of Laurel's favorite activities. She loves playing with her Dad and being turned up in the air and being upside down.
Oops! I didn't realize this was sideways! Anyway, check out those pretty eyes!
I like this picture of Laurel with "Grandfather" and "Mom-Mom".
Will is a wonderful Dad who sure does love his little girl!

Yay! I LOVE new pictures:) Some of these made me laugh so much! The look on Laurel's face in the one you you and her and mom is too funny. I can't wait to see her in person!
I have to comment again because I was showing the pictures to mom and realized that in the last picture Will looks HUGE. It look like he has air puffing his coat out to its maximum size. Hilarious
ummmmm...why aren't there any pictues of your father on this post????
she makes SUCH funny faces! love it!
I can't wait to meet your baby-cakes! miss you!
She is adorable, Meg! What a fun age. (Do I say that every time? LOL) The Christmas lights probably are not safe but it does make for a really neat picture and captures that Christmas "glow."
Wesley is a thumb sucker and I agree, during the night it is much more convenient than a paci! Savannah uses neither which I have to admit liking best of all because first she comfort nursed and now since she is almost weaned she doesn't need any soothers but a hug! (Whereas I still haven't gotten Wesley to stop sucking his thumb at night.)
She looks like a little porcelain doll in the first picture with the bow! How pretty! And I love the picture with the lights, sometimes you have to brave it out for picture's sake!
i disagree with dena. do not endanger laurel again with your festive decor!
Maytee! Your pictures are so beautiful and I miss you all so much. I can hear your laugh as I see Laurel's sweet face and know you and Will care for her so well. I hope you have the sweetest Christmas ever. I love you!
ummmm...there aren't any pictures of your father on this post.
embarrasing derth of pictures of your father!!!
What a joy to see sweet Laurel grow and to see wonderful memories being made! God is so good- so kind! Have a glorious Christmas celebration! Jesus Christ is born!!
Love you!
it would be an even greater joy to see laurel with your father.
i almost laughed harder at mick's comments than the actual pictures.
please reassure Laurel that she will get to see me again soon. i know she misses me after our delightful bonding time when she tried to win my affections. please pencil me in on the "holding her" schedule.
thanks.
love you maggie!
