Selah is very alert now (especially at 2 AM :-). She is very vocal & will tell you all about being a 3 month old if you give her a chance. We think she is going to keep dark hair and eyes like her daddy. We are only a little concerned about her having his ears! (Ha, ha!)Selah smiles

Charis looks grumpy, but don't think she isn't milking being around 2 sets of grandparents for all its worth! I may never get her "unspoiled" with Mawmaw to play with all day and Nana to scratch her back while she goes to sleep at night - not to mention Pawpaw bringing her candy every other day.
Beach trip
In November we took a trip to Corpus Cristi. Charis loved the beach and "swimming". Even though it was cool, we had a great time playing in the water and relaxing. We drove down on the beach, so Selah got to sit in the comfort of the warm Jeep in her bouncy seat.
Thanksgiving
We spent Thanksgiving with the South Georgia side of our family, which was a blessing. Memaw cooked lots of food, and we saw quite a bit of our family, too. Earlier in the week we saw Keith's family in Cumming, and we enjoyed the beautiful leaves there. It was a great change from Texas' dry hills.
Charis' funny face
Charis likes to make funny faces! She also is a book lover! Instead of taking a favorite animal to church with us, we have to carry out a stack of books - we never get into the car or stroller for a walk without a fresh stack of books to "read" on the way.
Growing, growing, growing
Hi everyone. I temporarolly forgot I had started this blog. I'll try to update it when I can get to a computer. Selah is growing so fast. I think she is about 10 pounds - judging from my non-scientific weighing with her on our bathroom scale. She has filled out and begun to smile - chiefly at her mommy who she adores :-) (I'm also the food supplier, so maybe that's the connection.) The ladies who had her in the nursery at church say she smiled at them, too.
Charis, on the other hand, is growing in language skills so quickly! She has begun to say things like, "Ok baby. Mommy's coming." (when little sis cries) She also asked me recently "Mommy, what you doing?" and "Mommy where are you?" or "Where mommy go?" More often she just says "Mommy, wanna go" - to see Nana, to church, outside, to play with Lexi...it doesn't matter, she just likes to GO! Wonder where she got that?
Keith preached today at church. It was good - the theme was are you at WAR with God (as in warring against powers and principalities) or FAR away from him. An added bonus was that Dan, Carrie, Dalton and Lexi came to church with us and then had lunch. We had a good time visiting. I must say that Lexi and Charis probably had the best time. They love to play together, and we laugh at Charis because she has been saying her name is Lexi for the past 3 or 4 weeks since we last saw them!
First Sunday
Our first Sunday at church was great because Paw-paw preached, so that made it very special. Charis sat in church as well and fell asleep in Nana's lap.
New Arrival
Hi. We had Selah (Say - la) Abigail on August 15 at 4:17 PM. It was not a bad labor, all things considered, but I decided I don't like epidurals. It's easier to handle the pain and be done with it. I reacted badly to the epidural & they had to insert it twice while I was in heavy labor and it double numbed my right side. I couldn't use my right leg or feel my back for about 12 hours. Selah is doing well, eating like a little pig most of the time, and sleeping quite a bit still. She weighed 6 lb, 7 oz (she dropped to 6 - 1 after a couple of days) and was 19 inches. At her two week visit she was up to 7 lb, 5 oz. She looks a lot like Charis did at birth, but I can see some distinctions between them as she fills out.
