Where have my pictures gone?

I am still trying to figure this blogging thing out..I have just posted a new blog about Simms' first tooth (it should be after this one) but all of my pictures from my last post get bumped to the bottom. Can someone please explain to me how to upload pictures within a posting so those pictures will be a part of my latest posting? As of now I have to upload the pictures and write my posting as the caption...Any help would be great!

We have....

Oh my goodness! Simms has a tooth, finally! It has just broken the skin and is the bottom left, in the middle! It is so cute and I am probably more excited than anyone in this world to see it! You see, she is going on 9 months old and most babies I know have at least 1 tooth by 6 months. Not to mention anytime she is cranky we tell people, "Oh she is teething!" (We have been doing this since February!) It makes me sad too though! Has time gone by this fast? It is crazy to me that I have just scheduled her 9 month photo session and her 9 month peditrician's appointment is next week! I am interested to see how much our chunky bunny is weighing now. Last time, she was in the 79% for weight and only the 35% for height! How adorable! I will post pictures soon of that tooth when she'll let me get a shot of it!

A Relaxing Week at the Lake

We have had a wonderful week at Lake Martin with Dru and his entire extended family (almost!)! I do believe there are like 45 people here but at least there is room! We have had a great time with Simms! She loves the lake!We did not take her to see the fireworks though! I was pretty sure they would frighten her! You could hear the fireworks from the lakehouse but she slept through that! Little monkey girl is a great sleeper! We sure have had fun dressing her up in her cute little outfits! Dru PROMISES to upload all of the pictures we have taken so that I can put them on the blog TODAY!! We have had fun meeting up with friends that are here also and hanging out with them! I hope Dru has enjoyed a week off from work! He deserves it! We have gotten way too much sun and eaten great food all week! I will hopefully have pictures up by tonight!

The most wonderful 8 months of our life!

Today Simms is 8 months old! Wow! (I will post a picture later; Dru is having to help me with our camera). The past 8 months have been incredible! Simms is such a blessing to Dru and me, and our family and friends! She is such a sweet, calm baby and each day has been filled with excitment! No one could have prepared me for the love I feel for Simms and it has been such a special time in our lives! At 8 months she is full of energy! We are eating lots of baby food, and hoping to get off soy milk soon! Simms STILL has no teeth! She is continuing to "teeth" and we are waiting everyday to see a tooth! She laughs all the time now; that wonderful baby belly laugh and she is so observant of everything especially her daddy! Thank you for changing our lives in the best way possible Simms! We are so in love with you and thank God numerous times day and night for you!

A Wonderful Reunion

We had a wonderful reunion of great friends Saturday night. Our "group" from college (we missed Anne Marie), helped to host a party for Laura and Andrew. They are getting married on July 19 in Mountain Brook. It was so much fun to be able to do a party for them and get to see everyone. We had a great time reminicising! Sally even had an old scrapbook she broke out! This group of girls is so wonderful and have been there for me whenever I needed them! We are so happy for Laura! She is such a sweet, true friend and we are so glad she and Andrew have found each other! I love you all and can't wait to see you as we stand up for Laura and Andrew in a few weeks! On another note, Dru and I headed back to the lake from the party, which was in Montgomery, and we will be here for a week to celebrate the 4th! I will be posting pics of sweet Simms (who will be 8 months old so so soon!)!!!

Father's Day

We had a wonderful Father's Day today. Simms woke Daddy up extra early and gave him some new gear for the Lake! Of course last year, for Mother's Day and Father's Day Dru and I were already buying mother-to-be and father-to-be cards for each other because we were just so excited about the prospect of being parents! Nothing compares to it! We had lunch after church at my Meme's house (she cooks huge dinners every Sunday for our entire family!) and Simms got to spend time with her daddy, grandaddy and great-grandaddy! It was a wonderful first Father's Day with Simms! Not to mention she was very well-behaved in church! That is always a blessing!

I think I have it!

Ok..now that I think I have this thing set up, (except for the pictures being out of order)I will give a little update on Simms. She was 7 months old on June 1, and oh my goodness how fast it has gone by! She still doesn't have a tooth, although it seems as if she has been teething for months now! She is saying Da Da constantly, and of course it delights Dru! Simms is just the happiest baby, and we enjoy every single minute with her. She loves her sweet potatoes, and almost any food at that, and she will take soy formula whenever it is offered! (Lactose Intolerant by the way! We found out after lots of sleepless nights of breastmilk only!) The last 7 months have been full of joy and excitement and of course love and we are so truly grateful for what the Lord has provided!
