Opening a Present from Great Grandma Weese!

As you can see Pearce tore into the gift that Great-Grandma Weese sent her last week .... it was her favorite thing ever , a book. We love reading to Pearce and she enjoys "pretend" reading or whatever you call it that she attempts to do with the books!! Thanks Weese for the great bedtime book!!

Random Pictures ....

Pearce is 10 months old !!

It's so hard to imagine that 10 months agoI gave birth to Pearce. She is such a sweet and happy baby growing up way to quickly. She now has a couple of words to her vocabulary ... the latest being "Bye-Bye" when she waves at herself!! So, we are officially tired because she is crawling all over the place and starting to really pull up. As you can see in the pictures she LOVES the computer -- we have decided that she will know more than us very soon. Each day brings a new challenge but many joys ... honestly, we would not know what to do without Pearce. We are very excited for the holidays and look forward to being with our family!

Pearce Got Her First Tooth Today!

Look very close on the bottom right and you will see her tooth ... very exciting!!

So, Pearce got her first tooth today (or we think it was today but are not really sure!) and we did not even know. She woke up last night screaming in the middle of the night so we assumed she had an ear infection .... My dad was with her today and said she was in the best mood but I was convinced. So, we get to the doctor and the ears are clear .... BUT when the doctor looked in Pearce's mouth she commented on her tooth and I about fell over. So of course I started acting goofy and Pearce was laughing up a storm. The pediatrician who we saw today must have thought we were nuts -- actually she was laughing with us!

We have been waiting for her tooth (some people can remember that we thought one was in a couple of weeks ago -- thanks mom!!) but it was her very swollen gum!! So, when it gets more noticeable I will take a picture and show you. Matt and I are hoping for a good nights sleep tonight !! One tooth is enough for now ---

Some pictures from Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving in Florida and got to spend time with all of Matts family. Pearce loved all the thanksgiving food and cleaned her plate -- it was so fun to have her at the table with the family! Pearce also got to meet Brooke, who is the little girl of my old work partner in Florida. They had a good time playing but Brooke was not quite sure of Pearce!! Santa Clause was already out in Florida so Pearce got to get her picture taken for the first time and had a blast. She was not scared at all and thought he was very funny!! When we returned home to Atlanta Bates came to spend the day with us and helped us pick out a Christmas tree -- Thanks Bates !! Now, we are all exhuasted and ready for another week!!

Check out her snow boots!!

She is ready for the snow to fall here in Georgia!! Everyone at Publix loved her new boots!

Pearce and Maggie's New Best Friend!

As everyone knows I married into a family of GATORS!! So, Granddaddy could not resist buying Pearce this HUGE stuffed animal that is a gator ... she got it when she was visiting in Tallahassee and it has made its way to Georgia. Matt decided that it was precious cargo so the gator was buckled in the front seat on the way back to Atlanta ... talk about some weird looks at the gas station!!

Even Maggie is loving all of the new toys!!
