It is so hard to believe it, but Miss Heidi Grace is now 18 months old! To celebrate her half-birthday, the family went to the park to play on the juggle gym. Heidi had soooo much fun climbing up the jungle gym all by herself and sliding down the slide. Weeeeee! Here are some adorable pictures :-)

Isn't this just too cute!?!

The Family's First 5K!

We all had such a great weekend! We all participated in the charity run benefiting the Norma Livingston Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. It was the first 5K for all of us! Mom ran alone, but Dad was a total rock star and pushed Heidi in the jogging stroller! This would have been a very impressive accomplishment on its own, but considering that the coarse was pretty darn hilly (is that a word?) Dad got rock star status for the entire weekend ;-) And Heidi, what a trooper! She loved it! There was so much excitement in the air as all the runners gathered to start the race (we think there were a little over 550 runners in the race) and Heidi loved every minute of her super fast ride in the stroller!

Not only did Heidi, Mom and Dad run, but Uncle Scott and Aunt Tasha did as well as Mom's friend Adrienne and her boyfriend Ven.

Aunt Tasha finished first with a time of 30:30, Mom came in just behind her at 30:53, with Heidi and Dad just following behind at 31:15 (we all know that Dad would have smoked us all if he weren't pushing the jogging stroller!), and Uncle Scott was just behind that, finishing a whole 6 minutes faster than he did in his last 5K. We all had so much fun that we are looking into more runs to participate in ;-)

Blink Lady photos

 

We had Heidi's one year portrait...and family portrait done recently by The Blink Lady.   She is such an amazing photographer!  This one is my favorite of Heidi...just looks so angelic.  

Not always happy, but always beautiful!

Mom and I met LaTara and her son Greyson at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens again for a mini photo shoot.  LaTara is a burgeoning photographer and loves to take beautiful pictures of beautiful babies.  So with all of the best intentions, we all met up to take some pics.  Well, little did they know....I was so not in the mood to have my picture taken!  Despite the fact that I was sooo not in the mood, LaTara still got this shot.  Look at those beautiful blue eyes!  Gorgeous!  Mom thinks it is good though...we will need to remember that although I am a beauty...I'm not always laughs, giggles and smiles.  ;-)

Just Plain Cute

Flirty Face

I am such a flirt these days.  Mom just loves it when she catches my flirty face on camera.  Here's one of her recent ones.  I'm flirting with Uncle Brad at The Mont in this one ;-)

This picture is from Mothers' Day.  We went to 5 Points for breakfast, and Mom got the chance to snap a few pics of moi wearing the outfit she made for me.
