  She is SO adorable. Hang onto your “hat!” It will be a wild and crazy ride from here on — such an adventure along the road of life…

  You know once she can start getting around, she will start getting into things. Now the discipline begins.

  Oh my, she is so active and she is making me such a nervous wreck. She has started pulling her self up on her knees and has already conked her head multiple times and fallen face first into a wooden chair and her crib. I took her bumper out of her crib because she was pushing it down and getting tangled in it. But, I don’t feel great about leaving her in her crib without it. She is so wild, I just know she is going to knock herself out in her crib . Any advice?

  Ever heard of the “school of hard knocks?” Literally! Yeah, go ahead and take out the bumper pad. She WILL survive. She is absolutely a cutie! I love hearing about what she is doing. Grandson Aaron is about six weeks behind her, so Dawn can be forewarned as to what is coming soon. They were just here for a visit. He has really grown in the six weeks since I’ve seen him. You and Brance are so abundantly blessed. It is so wonderful that you appreciate all that the Lord has given you in her.

  Thanks for responding back Aunt Mary. I think I’m being an overly protective mom . I took Haddie to church yesterday with a nice size goose egg on her little forehead where she fell face first into our couch. I’m sure this will be the first of many bumps. I tend to be a worrier. I think the Lord might be using a rambunctious baby to help me learn to trust him .

  Your little grandsons Noah and Aaron are both just adorable! Since they are so close to the same age, I’m sure they’ll have lots of fun together over the years. I hope we get to meet little Aaron before he’s too grown up.

  These are the first pictures I’ve seen of her where I think she really looks like a Gillihan. She still must have a lot of Lauren in her, but I’m beginning to see more of the Gillihan baby look (and that’s a good thing- Gillihan babies are very cute

  Really? Everyone says she looks just like me. I think she’s prettier than that though! Ha!

  I can see Lauren in her, but generally everyone says she’s my clone.

  She does look a lot like you, but Gillihan babies have a very distinct look, and until now, I hadn’t noticed it to be very strong in her. Katie came out looking exactly like her daddy (like he does now and like he did as a baby), but I thought Haddie had more of Lauren in her. But the older she gets, the more she looks like a Gillihan. Little cutie.

  By the way, I like the Christmas background!
