Weekend Fun - The Aquarium and New Shoes!

This weekend we took Scarlett to the New Orleans Aquarium...her first visit to an aquarium, although it is the 3rd time we said we were going (first in Boston, then Atlanta, and we finally made it to the New Orleans one!). We had a great time and Scarlett loved it! She talked and talked to those fish. I sat her up on the railing in front of the huge tank with the big sharks and turtles and stuff and she was just waving and carrying on.




Another highlight from the weekend for Scarlett was getting her some new shoes! With her "walking" about now and us out of the house a lot, it's about time the girl had some shoes she'd keep on her feet. This is the second pair I tried, but with flexible soles she doesn't fall all over herself and gets around well. And look how CUTE!

Scarlett's 9 month checkup

Man...I am falling down on the blogging recently! I guess that's what happens when you live out of a suitcase with no laptop in sight! It's been a fun few weeks back and forth to Atlanta! Our impromptu evacuation vacation was good times for all..well, except for that 15 hour car ride there. My visit this past week was great too and we really enjoyed getting to see everyone!

Scarlett had her 9 month doctor's visit today. I had to reschedule it since it was originally booked during the evacuation fun. She's 20 lbs 5 oz and 28 1/2 inches long now. The new doctor is really nice and the office is nice and big too! Scarlett had a good checkup. We're going to have to work with her on being such a picky eater and try to transition her to table foods between now and 12-15 months. We're also on the lookout for allergies since she seems to have a touch of eczema (it's not a bad case and the doctor seems to think she may grow out of it). Nothing shocking though since Colin and I are both allergy-prone!

Well, that's all from here. I will get some new pictures up soon. I figure everyone can stand to wait a few days since almost everyone just saw her! I'm getting a CD of her 9 month photo shoot soon so I can't wait to share a few of my favorites from that!
