Walkin' Around

Because spring has stuck around for us here in south Alabama, Eileen and I have been enjoying long walks every day.  And it's been wonderful.

The walks are helping me on my quest to lose the last of this baby weight.  On my first week of Weight Watchers, I lost 1.8 pounds.  Of course, I would love to report that I lost 20 pounds in one week, but that's not really how Weight Watchers works.  All in all, I'm pretty pleased.

Speaking of walking, Eileen really, really wants to stand up and walk.

She doesn't seem so interested in crawling.

So we have been putting her in her walker.  And she loves it!

Of course, the walker is for older babies, so Eileen is not tall enough for her feet to touch the floor.
David and I solved that problem by putting a law book under her feet so she has something to push off of.

It's a book on Federal Income Tax.  I think it's also Eileen's first political statement.  

The walker can capture Eileen's attention for quite a while.  It makes her such a happy baby!

Sunday, we got a double dose of church: early mass in Greenville and then church in Beatrice.  Eileen behaved like an angel through both services.

Eileen did require several wardrobe changes, but I didn't remember to get pictures.

Sunday night, we all watched Duke beat Georgia Tech.

You might say that the Yellow Jackets were Ramblin' WreckED.

And the Blue Devils are once again ranked #1!

Eileen loves her bib & shoes.  Thanks Whitney!

We are going to try to transition Eileen from her bassinet in our room to her crib in her own room.

The video monitor is set up and we've removed all of the "unsafe" things like bumpers, pillows, and toys from the crib.

It looks kind of stark and depressing to me.


But SAFETY FIRST!

Eileen loves her crib and really enjoys the extra space.

But moving Eileen to her own room is going to be hard on her momma.

Last night, Eileen decided that the best place to sleep was on Daddy.  

I love these pictures!  Those two are so sweet together.
