Dress From Aunt Ella

Mrs. Fran Wright's sister Ella McSmith crocheted this beautiful dress for Mary Catherine. As you can tell Mary Catherine loves to have her picture made. We took these right after church.

Lou Holtz the Pony.

On my 1st birthday Mommy, Daddy andSam(Bubba) began to look for a pony. Bubba found just the right one for me in February. His is about 32 inches tall and is black. He has a little white star and back socks. I call him Lou Lou. Mommy named him Lou Holtz for me since he is a boy and he is tough. I call him Lou Lou and that is okay. I love to ride him. My mommy leads him and Sissy holds my back and walks beside me. Mommy says I will be able to show him this Summer at the Florence horse show. Gaga is having me a ridding coat made. I wanted PINK but mommy says blue is more practical. I am enjoying riding the pony but I especially like when everyone who is watching claps for me.

Will You Be My Valentine?

Mary Catherine is really enjoying Valentines this year. This is the little dress she wore to Mothers Morning Out for Valentines. She is walking good and is into everything. She loves to give big wet kisses and hugs. This photo was just too cute not to share!

MOTHERS MORNING OUT

This week I started Mothers Morning Out. It was harder for Mommy than it was for me. I am in the creepers class with Mrs. Lucille. I have a friend and his name is Robert Lee. He and I both go Monday - Friday 8am-12pm. We have lots of toys to play with and the best part about the day is snack time. Mrs. Lucille has a table with little chairs in it that she puts us all in and then she passes out snacks. We eat Cherrios. Robert and I feed each other. It is very cute. I am still not walking great (still just taking a few steps and falling down) but I do pull up and try to walk. I still have my passy but I am using sippy cups with a straw rather than a bottle.

MY FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

Okay I think Mommy went a little OVERBOARD on my first birthday party. She and Daddy rented the Lynches River Park Building. The theme was going to be "UNDER THE BIG TOP!" They decorated everything like a Circus. We had carnival games, balloons, favors, cake, ice cream, hot dogs, barney, music, popcorn, and a balloon clown. It was completely over the top! I had alot of cousins there and some friends. I really enjoyed playing in the birthday cake. Mommy let me put my hands in it. I am sure I will not remember this party when I get older but it was quite an event!
