An evening with Nana and Papaw

Cecilia spent Saturday night with Nana and Papaw Wilson. She had a great time!

Cecilia's first crawfish boil. Nana and Papaw love their crawfish! (The newspapers are for easy cleanup)

After dinner, Cecilia played frisbee with Pippy.

Then she swung in the swing with Nana while Uncle Scott watched.

Cecilia just adores her Nana! She spends much of her day saying na-na but when Nana is around she says da-da. They must be her two favorite people!

The Greenbrier

We took a little a little mini-vacation to The Greenbrier last weekend. It is such a beautiful and scenic resort. Cecilia enjoyed her first trip here!

Cecilia turned 10 months old during our trip. 10 months!!! Where has the time gone? She is crawling everywhere. She pulls herself up to standing all of the time and is even taking "steps" while holding onto the furniture. Maybe walking is around the corner?

Life is grand at The Greenbrier

Ready to hit the pool!

Relaxing at the pool

Cecillia likes the taste of pool water so when she isn't slurping it up by putting her face in the water, she is licking it off her toys.

"Mama, are you finished taking my picture yet?"

A little spa treatment after a day at the pool

Dan hit the links one day

What a beautiful course!

While Dan golfed, Cecilia and Mama went to the park

Ceci loves to swing

Her top tooth finally came through - it makes #3. #4 is not far behind.

Looking very michievous and acting that way too!

Sittin pretty

Falcon and owl demonstration.

This owl was the same size as Cecilia but only weighs 5 lbs. She had her eye on Cecilia the entire time!

Amazing colors and patterns exist throughout the resort

Dan and I took Cecilia to Adornetto's for the first time over the weekend.  Adornetto's always brings back such fun memories growing up in Zanesville.  After dinner, we took Cecilia to the St. Thomas Festival for our first festival of the summer.

Ceci's very own pile of cheese (Mommy kept the iceberg)

Checking it out...

This is some good stuff!

Ceci's first taste of spaghetti (Mommy's favorite!)

Playing with the food more than eating it.

Yum!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!  Dan and Cecilia made my first Mother's Day one to remember.  It was such a beautiful day and I am so happy to have such a wonderful family.  

Cecilia, also, turned nine months old this weekend.  Where has the time gone?  She is starting to crawl and move around.  She is standing up very well.  She gave me a wonderful Mother's Day gift...she finally said "mama" this past week.  What a sweet sound it is to hear your baby say "mama" for the first time.  

With my beautiful baby girl!

Kisses from mama

Checking out the grass

At home after visiting with her Nanas.  Ready to play some more!

All smiles!  Must be because of her cool hat!
