Photo Shoots!

Hello blog readers!  I am just going to stop apologizing for the delays in between posts.  I guess if I was truly sorry it wouldn't keep happening!  So get ready for a whole lot of Nellie.  I have been trying to get a cute pic of Nellie for a couple of photo contests that I want to enter her in.  So what do I have now you ask?  A ridiculous amount of photos of this kid that I can't seem to delete.  I might be filling up the space on our new iMac a little quicker than we had intended.  






All the previous pics are from our weekend in Glorieta with Cody's Mom and sisters.  Jan took so many cute pics of Nellie but I had to keep trying.  

Those are just a couple of cute faces I like.  
So here is the pic for one of the contests that wanted the baby smiling.  I wanted to make sure you could see her pretty eyes too so I like doing the indoor shot in front of a window.  Go ahead and click on it so you can see how pretty she is!  
Here is Nellie chillin' on a bench in a front of our cabin.  

Yes, I do realize she will hate me one day.  
Two of Nellie's aunties! 
While we were in Glorieta we worked on our furniture for our new house.  Cody's Mom, Janny bought us all this used furniture that we are fixing up.  Janny has a "store" in Clovis called Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.  And now by store I mean her storage shed from which she gives away free to stuff to anyone who asks.  So with the help GT&T we are going to have an eclectic, modern little condo.  We even reupholstered some chair seats.  
Here's Nellie relaxing on a baby sofa at Hobby Lobby on one of our many trips into Santa Fe to find some treasures.  
We have been enjoying the warmer weather hanging out with friends and cooking outside.  Joanna is holding the Davis' baby Hudson.  Who just so happens to be the baby I am now watching twice a week since Dana went back to work.  A pic of Nellie and Hudson will come next post.  

Aaron and Cody
Here is Nellie playing with Avery while Cody plays with Halford.  
Nellie has been swimming quite a few times lately.  She hasn't fussed yet even when the water was little chilly.  

We think Nellie may be teething.  She woke up on Monday screaming her face off and inconsolable for about 30 minutes.  I gave her an ice cube inside a cloth and she calmed down and I nursed her back to sleep.  Nothing has broke through yet but I can see two white buds on her bottom gum.  
Sup' foos?
I came in one day while she was napping and this is how she was laying. She has a whole big ol' crib, why is she scrunched up in the corner?  weirdo.  
Does anybody notice anything odd about this photo?  Hmm....keep looking.  Oh wait, maybe it's the EMPTY bottle of cranberry juice in the fridge.  Now Cody has a bad habit of leaving cartons empty in the fridge.  You know, take the last pudding and leave the cardboard thing.  But this is ridiculous!  

We are still waiting to close on our new house.  Now they say early next week, which is frustrating because we were suppose to close last week.  I have to get everything painted and put away quick because Jason and Sarah are  coming for a visit in two weeks!  

SO...hopefully I'll be posting house pics real soon.  Have a great week!
