Uncle Morgan visiting Hickory in his new cool hat - Mr. Cool..

we miss seeing you all of the time, Morgan!

By golly you'd better open this door or I'm going to go through the glass..

She loves the low sills and enjoys watching the birds and squirrels -

Scotty! How in the world did you fit into that highchair?!
Winnie loved visiting with her cousins when they came to visit.

Watermelon days...

the watermelon feels good on Winnie's gums, I guess...

she certainly is concentrating on taking those bites..

....

We went to see Kristi in Blowing Rock at her new place over a weekend in August.. a nice escape for us both! Well, for Winnie and for me... I don't know about how it was for Kristi chasing Winnie all around! Here is Winnie during her first encounter with a horse! She absolutely loved them and was able to rub their noses and pull their manes -

Kristi getting used to being climbed on.

Back in Hickory - visiting with Gee (pronounced like "key") on their back porch..

What are you doing wearing Poppy's hat?? ....

Winnie sleeping at Buck and Tanya's place in Asheville... little froggy. She is nine months old now. She is quite tall - 29", to be exact, and she weighs 23 and a half pounds! She is getting two more teeth in, but she still isn't very fussy. She begins daycare on Tuesday, September 2nd. We've been busily picking out her first outfits... hoping to get a few more summertime outfits into the mix before the weather changes too much!! This is Sunday, August 24th.

Tonya got to go to Northern California for a week, and I benefitted from her borrowing my camera! Look at this beautiful shot of the coast -
