We've been home more than 2 weeks now....

It's hard to believe we've been home for over two weeks now. I've never had so much fun in my entire life. Chandler is doing great! She's learning new things every day. She now says "Mama" when she sees me and also chants "bear" when she spots her giant teddy bear. She's an eating machine and this week firmly declared that she wants nothing more to do with baby food. She's all about grown up girl food now. If it doesn't require a spoon then she wants it and NOW! :)Chandler loves to be on the go and is such a great travel companion. She still doesn't love the car seat but if I time it right, she will sleep through most short trips. On Monday afternoon we went over to my friend Debi's house. Chandler had such a great time with her family. She just loves her new bouncy seat she "inherited" from their kids.
Oh and last weekend we ventured down to the Spartanburg area to visit the Stephens, Johnsons and Helms families. As usual, she loved all the attention and enjoyed playing with everyone.

That ought to do it for our road trips for a while. Our next BIG trip is in less than two weeks to go visit Nana and Grampie in NY. Yay! We can't wait and will be sure to pack lots of WARM clothes. Us Southern Girls don't do cold well! :)

Thanks for reading along and please stay tuned. Chandler's first steps are right around the corner. I just know it! Have a great week!
Auntie Debi showing Chandler around their home. She loved getting to know all of their pets too! I do believe Chandler will be HUGE animal lover just like her Auntie Debi and Cousin Erykah.

Kevin and Kyle make Chandler laugh BIG TIME! This jumpy seat used to be theirs when they were babies. They gave it to Chandler and she just loves it but I think she wishes the boys were here each day to bounce her around and make funny faces with her.

Chandler loved playing with the Johnson and Helms "big kids" and as you can see, she really warmed up to Jessie Johnson.
