Beautiful Weather

I know I've mentioned this many times but one of my favorite things about living in the South is getting to enjoy the fabulous weather.  I'm not just trying to talk my whole family into moving down here, it really has been wonderful.  Here we are in the beginning of March and we have had many 70 degree days that have made staying at home with a baby that much more joyful.  I've been able to walk to the library, the grocery store, to Starbucks, and just around our neighborhood for some much needed exercise.  I feel like spring is definitely here to stay and it is one of the best seasons here in Atlanta.  This weekend we really took advantage of the great weather and went to Piedmont Park.  We laid out a blanket and cuddled and rolled around with Lanier, who by the way is on the verge of laughing!  I've included a video of some of her initial giggles but I'm hoping the big belly laughs are just around the corner.  Then we walked to a frozen yogurt place near our house and had a delicious snack before dinner, which is way against Daniel's rules but I really put the pressure on.  I mean who doesn't like ice cream in the middle of the day!  Sunday, we went on a really long walk and ate outside on the patio at a restaurant we love.  This honestly is when it feels really fun to have a baby.  It gives you a reason to get out and do stuff...because of course she needs fresh air and sunshine.  I've attached a couple of pictures from the weekend.  I put Lanier in a dress on Sunday that she is just about to grow out of and still hasn't had a chance to wear!  It's a hand-me-down from her cousin Chappell, and looked so cute on her.  I stood her up in the mirror so she could look at herself and she just smiled like "I look so pretty!"  We had to get some great shots of the outfit, but I do think she needs some lessons on how to be a lady in a dress!  Love and miss you all!
