OH.MY.GOSH.

OH










MY










GOSH




I can't believe the year of my birth is over!






Hey y'all, it's me, Fannie B.

Well, the year of my birth is almost over. I can't believe it. It has been such an awesome year. I can't believe I have been around for over 7 months. Pretty cool. But 2010 is going to be so great too. I keep hearing something about a Christening, Easter Egg Hunt and 1st Birthday Party. I can't wait!



My mommy has alot of blogging to do, this is what she owes y'all:


First Sippy Cup Experience


Georgia Bowl Game


Christmas


Christmas Eve


Christmas Eve Eve


Random December Pics


Washington Trip ~ November


Waynesville Trip ~ October


St. Simons Trip~ September



She keeps threatening she is going to go check into a hotel, take some wine and just sit there and blog. I keep hoping she goes and leaves me with Daddy. It's no secret, he is my favorite. I am a good actress and act all sweet to Mommy all day giving her hugs and kisses but when Dada gets home, I am one happy girl!

Well, I gotta go to sleep now. We have 2 parties to go to tomorrow and munchkins are invited. Woo Hoo!



Happy New Year!


Happy

New Decade!




My aunt Courtney took these pics of me over Thanksgiving and just sent them to my Mommy. Pretty funny! I am such a diva.

3 years and 7 months

In honor of Fannie Bradley's seven month birthday, we returned to the site of our rehearsal dinner to visit Santa.



It was 3 years and 7 months ago to the day and almost to the hour, that we were surrounded by our closest family and friends, the night before our wedding at The Commerce Club.



We are glad that FB got to visit the original club before it moves to 191 Peachtree.

Beautiful!






This huge painting is in 3 pieces and will be donated to the Atlanta History Center when the club moves




Yes Summer, another blazer!




Silly Fannie







This isn't what it looks like!









Ole' George is one of Daddy's all time favorites


(This painting is one of only two that GW actually sat and posed for.)





It was great to be Downtown and to catch a glimpse of SunTrust Tower, Georgia State, Woodruff Park, Broad Street: where John spent alot of time courting me, back in the early days of our relationship when I would come down from the 16th floor of the bank and meet him outside the Tower for 5 minutes before he had to get to one of his graduate school classes.



On the way home, we drove through Ansley Park and Brookwood Hills to look at Christmas lights.



It was a pefect night.



Thoughts on Fannie Bradley's Seventh Month


seven months is closer to one year of age than birth. can't believe it. so sad!






these monthly pictures are getting more and more difficult to take!








Visited her 5th state: Alabama


food: sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, bananas, baby oatmeal, pears, water (trying to break up some congestion~she doesn't like it), apples, peas with brown rice, prunes


rolled over ~ stomach to back ~ November 29


said "da da" ~ December 14 ~ now says it all day!


favorite body part: hair ~ it is out of control! It is a crowd stopper too. We get comments every where we go! It is starting to have some curl to it. dern. as someone with naturally curly hair, I was hoping she would have straight hair!


nicknames: Fannie Girl, Boobsie Boo


tooth count: 2


cranking her air motorcycle


playing hide -n- seek ~ with a burp cloth or she will nuzzle her head into our side to hide then turn over so we can find her. "Where's Fannie? There she is!'


making this screaming noise (but she is not upset). she loves to hear herself.


been congested for 4 weeks but no runny nose. no fever. and she doesn't seem to feel bad either. little noses saline drops and the blue nasal aspirator are our new best friends. sounds like she is snoring (very loudly) when she sleeps. went to her first "sick" appointment on Thursday. Pretty good for 2 days shy of 7 months.


making a gurgling noise


playing super fannie with daddy. he flies her through the house.




FB is ticklish ~ upper rib cage


making a blowing noise. she takes in air, puffs out her cheeks, holds her breath for a second, then blows really hard out of her nose. I am afraid she is going to blow out her eardrums.




will try to climb off your lap if the remote control, cell phone or laptop are in sight or reach!




she is a busy bee these days. talking all day. playing all day. moving all day. and she's not even mobile yet. I am exhausted already!



when laying on her back, she will extend both of her legs out super straight at a 45 degree angle



she has started to fuss a little if we leave her sight. not all of the time just occasionally. For example, if she is laying on the full size bed in her room and we leave the room to go grab something, as soon as our feet hit the hallway she starts to meltdown. As soon as we turn around to look at her, she starts smiling and laughing. little rascal.





this little girl already has so much personality. I am scared. She is going to give me a run for my money!

Santa visits Playgroup

The Poers hosted our playgroup this afternoon and Santa was there!


Thanks to Daddy Henry for dressing up in that hot Santa suit.









This is Fannie's buddy, Wyatt Childers. He and his mom Laura were in our Play 2 Grow class all summer and fall and now we are in the same playgroup.



You can tell that his mother is a photographer because as soon as he got on Santa's lap he turned to the camera and started grinning from ear to ear. So funny.









For years I have stalked, errr admired Laura's photography work via her website and blog.


Check it out!






From Left to Right:


Walker, Carter, ?, Henry, Eleanor, Fannie, Wyatt, Michael, Whit, Lowry Ann and Grace in the front










Fannie gets the most hair award, especially for a 7 month old. Most people think she is much older because of all of her hair and her size might add to that too!
















































If you are not laughing OUT LOUD right now, there is something wrong with you!
