Haylee's Baptism Weekend

This past weekend was Haylee's baptism.

Chris and I were lucky to be joined by

many loving, out of town family & friends.

Saturday, our family ventured out to the

Faust Park Butterfly house and Carousel.

Haylee and her cousin Holden had a great

time in the butterfly house checking out all

the amazing creatures flying above their heads!

(Us adults thought it was pretty neat too!) Daddy, Haylee & Mommy inside the butterfly house

Christian had a special friend land

on his shoulder for about 10 minutes!

It was amazing watching Haylee look and try

to touch the butterflies. She loved it!

My best friend Ericka (who is Haylee's godmother)

joined us too!

Saturday evening, the whole gang

went to dinner at Wild Horse Grill...

It was nice, relaxing and the kiddos

were on their best behavior!

Kimmswick Trip

So, what else do you do on the Saturday of

Labor Day weekend?

That's right...headwest to Kimmswick, MO.

A little crafty town

off of I-55 past Arnold. It was my 1st trip to

this hidden "country" town and Haylee plus

Holly, Abby, Stacy and Stefanie decided to

meet at the Blue Owl restaurant for lunch!

The Blue Owl is well known for its great food

and even better desserts!!!

We had a great lunch indoors on this rainy day!

Haylee even wore her owl outfit and her
owl Robeez to dress the part!

5 years and counting!

Our 5 year anniversary was Sept 4th

and Chris surprised me with TWO dozen

white roses (my favortie flower) early

morning when I was getting ready for work...

I fixed him cinnamon rolls and the day

was off to a great start!

Later that evening, Chris surprised me with

dinner reservations at Monarch. Our friend Stacy

watched Haylee and we had a very nice,

relaxing and delicious dinner.

Monarch's exec chef was featured in the new

September issue of Southern Living--so for

all you SL readers--check out Josh Galliano!

I had a delicous bacon wrapped chicken loin

on top of buttered grits with muschrooms and

a mixure of snow peas and french cut green beans!

Fantastic!

Chris devoured his top grade seared tuna

with quinoa and roasted zucchini.

Sex and the City 2 is scheduled to

hit theaters May 28th, 2010.....
Mark your calendars & grab your cosmo's!

(I love these girls!!!!)

Exhausting Weekend...

This past weekend was exhausting for the Jamerson family!

Friday night, Chris and I took Haylee to a Parents As Teachers open house! It was really neat and she had a good time! For those of you with kiddos, I highly recommend joining PAT!
(It is a free service through your school district where you are matched up with a PAT educator, who is a mom who makes housecalls to come check on your child's development and offers great ideas and informations on their different stages of development!)
The PAT open house had a mini book fair, different areas for kids, depending on their age, to play and socialize, and we signed Haylee up for a free vision & hearing screen. Over in the infant/crawlers section Haylee was joined by a 4 month old girl and a 10 month old boy. Haylee was so cute when she just sat on the mat area, shyly observing everyone. She loved playing with a wooden spoon and did not want to crawl anywhere! She was just content observing and visually taking everything and everyone in!!!

On Saturday, Haylee woke up with a low-grade fever and was really sick. She didn't even look like herself with her drowsy eyes and little bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. She was quite fussy which made for an exhausting day for Chris and I. Thanks to Nana for coming over and babysitting for 2 hrs while I went to my hair appt in the Central West End! My good friend Stacy came over and brought me dinner and helped with Haylee which was a blessing!

Sunday started early with Haylee rising a bit before 5am, so we let her sleep in our bed until Church. Daddy went to play fuzz ball while Haylee and I went to church then hopped over to Papa's house for the day to play with Papa and cousin John Paul! It was fun, but exhausing....

Early this morning, Haylee woke up fussing from 2-4am which made for a very early morning for Chris and myself....Hopefully she will feel better today and get back to her good sleep patterns ASAP!

Can't wait to see what this week brings! Glad there is a 3-day weekend in our near future!!!!

8 months old!

I usually take a picture of Haylee with

some object or thing displaying an "8",

but I haven't found anything yet, so....

I thought these pics from her 8th month

birthday this past Sunday, August 23rd,

were cute!

She is such a blessing in our lives &

Chris and I look forward to the adventures

each day brings! We love you Haylee Elizabeth!

Look out world, I can crawl!

Last Friday evening, Haylee just took off

crawling. At 1st it was very mechanical looking,

but now she has really got the moves down!

Chris and I were really excited to watch

her and see the excitement on her face!

Here are a few pics below, but like any

mommy knows it is really hard to capture

your baby crawling on camera!

Luckly we took a little DVD of the action....

This is Haylee on her knees

(its a very common pose for her these days)

Just finishing crawling & going to the

sitting position
