Two pretty girls...

Golly geez, Mommy loves this kid. She is such a goober!! Karisse loves to dress up, especially in Mommy & Daddy's clothes and shoes. Callie discovered her thumb yesterday. She is officially a thumb sucker (which brings mixed reviews from Mommy & Daddy) and sleeps like a champ with that bad boy in her mouth. She sucks on her right thumb. Wonder if that means she'll favor her left hand in writing and stuff??? (Karisse sucks her left thumb and favors her right hand.) Only time will tell...

More Addyson

I'm not sure why she's in a BLUE gown...the jury is still out on that one. Weird!

Addyson be here...FINALLY!!!

Karisse & Callie are the proud cousins (they don't know it yet) to the newest one in our family...

Addyson Renea Thomas

Here's a terribly blurry pic of Aunt Moe (Little Mama) & Addyson.

Uncle Justin (proud papa) & Addyson

She was born on September 16 at 11:39 p.m. weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz and 21" tall.

This is all we've got since they're in New Orleans and we're stuck here in TN.

Mommy had the divine pleasure of calling Mamaw & Papaw and Granny at 1:00 a.m. just after she got off the phone with Nana (who is proud as punch.) The groggy great-grandparents are excited and relieved that Little Mama and Addyson are doing well!!

More pictures of the sweet cuteness to follow...

Addyson be here...almost

Callie & Karisse are "getting" a baby Cousin tonight or early tommorow morning!! Mommy's sister, Melissa (also known as Aunt Moe), is in labor in New Orleans right now surviving on ice chips and banana popsicles. (Uncle Justin is starving...poor things...)

Addyson Renee Thomas will be here by 8:30 Wednesday morning (that's the magical hour of her water breaking on Tuesday & they only like the baby to be in there for 24 hrs after that.)

BABIES ARE EVERYWHERE!!!

First Haircut!

This post is a little late, but better late than never I guess.

On September 2nd Karisse got her first haircut. She was sooo excited for two weeks before. She goes with Daddy to get his haircut and so she knows Leatha and loves to help her cut Daddy's hair.


She kept saying, "Leatha wash my hair", but when it came time to wash her hair she freaked out!! So, Leatha cut her hair dry. She cried a little about the cutting, but did quite well for a first time. About halfway through she started saying, "all done now?" It was just a trim so you can't really tell much difference, but all in all it was a success.

All done now!

After her haircut Daddy got his haircut and she had to help, as usual.

Callie's Best Friend

Callie's best friend was born yesterday! (While they were both still in the womb we started telling them that they were going to be best friends.)

Our friends Teddy and Kristen Booth (aka: Uncle Teddy and Auntie Kristen) had baby Eliza Mae Booth yesterday at 4:29 pm. She weighed 8 lbs and was 19 1/2 inches. We are soooo excited that she is finally here. We went to the hospital last evening to meet Miss Eliza for the first time. She is beautiful! She looks so much like her mommy!

Sisters...

Callie's First "bath" at home. Since her belly button wasn't completely healed, her first bath was a sponge bath. Karisse kept asking for the water. She was a big helper when it was time to wash Callie's hair.

Karisse and Daddy were playing "cook." Karisse made Pickle Soup (her specialty) and decided to share her dinner with Callie.
