Look out - she is on the go!

Well, Berklie has been on the move for quite some time now. She has been getting around where ever she wanted to go since she was about 5 and half months, crawling since 6 months (and with that came pulling up on everything in sight), and now I think she'll be walking in the next month or so! Can you believe it? She is constantly on the go and can be out of your sight in no time at all! Needless to say, we keep all the door shut now, so she is pretty well contained to the kitchen, living room, and hallways. She is a regular little "Dora the Explorer", too! If you miss her, she is more than likely behind a chair, under the coffee table, between the couch and the end table, ect. I have to say that this a fun age and she is just the cutest little thing ever! Here are some random pictures of her - mostly on the "go!" It is hard to catch her still anymore, so I doubt you'll be seeing many of those pictures anytime soon. Hope you are all doing well! Just think - ALMOST SPRING BREAK!




"Mama, could you move your caboose, please? I need to get through there."


Here she is crawling between the chair and the end table.


You can probably tell this is when she was sick - her little eyes are all puffy and glassy.
She never was in a grumpy mood though.
Heck, if I had a cold and an ear infection, I don't think I would be a very happy camper, but it never seemed to bother her.


This is not exactly what you want to walk in to see when she is only 6 and a half months old!
Talk about - SCARY!


What a cutie patootie!


Here she is having a little trouble on one of her expeditions.


"Hello, there! If mama or daddy ask you anything, you didn't see me do this. Ok?"


"Mama, I know you're out there!"

The Newbies!!! Yippee!!!

Well, we have new baby girls on the way! Berklie can not wait to meet her new b-f-fs, Chloe and Caroline! Congrats, Barbara and Robert on your two baby girls! We can not wait until they get here - Berklie has some pretty neat things she wants to share with them!

Can't you see it now...all of us girls, with all of our girls! They are going to have so much fun together! This time next year we are all going to have our hands full!

You guys are in our thoughts and prayers! We love you, Aunt Babsy and Uncle Robert!

Who needs snazzy toys? Not Berklie Faith!

So, we have ALL of these nifty little toys for Bitty Girl to play with, yet she seems to enjoy the simpler things in life! She had just had her bath and we were about to give her a bottle and put her to bed. When I went into the kitchen to make the bottle I heard a little tussling in the floor and this is what I looked up to find! These are so funny, and probably some of my favorite pictures to date! This is the most fun age! She is such a doll!



"Hey, this looks like fun!"


Yes, her two favorite toys are the laundry basket and her hair brush!


"Entertaining and yummie!"


"I can see you mama!"


"Mama, are you still watching?"


"Uh-Oh!"


"Help, help, help!"


"What have I gotten myself into?!?!?!"


"Maybe I can get out this way?"


"Oh, yeah! I'm good! Look at me go!"
"Man, that was FUN!!!!"
"Mama, did you get all that?"


If you look at where she starts out on the blanket and where she ends up, it is pretty darn funny. While the basket was on top of her, and she was trying to figure out how to get it off, she crawled across the floor in frustration- it was so funny! Flint had a baseball game tonight - I wish he could have seen it, he would have laughed so hard. It seriously was sooooo funny!

My New Kicks!

Here are a couple of pictures of me in my new kicks and some others of me playing! Hope you like'em!



"Hey, ya'll, what's up?"


"Mama you are so tall!"


"Check'em out, guys!"


"Are my new kicks, cool or what?"
"I love the shoestrings!"

Berklie's 6 month check up

Berklie had her 6 month check up today. She is growing right on schedule and is a healthy bitty girl. Dr. London said that she has excellent and very advance motor skills. I thought that was good, and I told her that my mom said I am going to get my payback. She thought that was pretty funny. Berklie did great with her shots - we had the good nurse. Thankfully we did not have the nurse that we had last time - that was not a good experience. The first two shots she didn't cry, then on the third one she cried a little, but when I picked her up she stopped crying instantly. I love the good nurse!!!! Then she pricked her finger for a cbc test to check for anemia. Berklie didn't like it at all, yet she barely cried for that, too. The nurse did call me back on our way home to let me know that Berklie's white blood cell count was elevated a little, but she thought it was due to them fighting off an infection. They are going to check her again when we go back in a month for her flu booster. Hopefully, everything turns out ok. Please say some prayers for her. Other than that, everything looks great! We are so blessed!

Her are Berklie's 6 month stats -
As you can tell we have a healthy bitty girl!

27 1/4 in. - 90 percentile
16.85 lbs - 70 percentile
head circumference - 60 percentile

Tagged - thanks, Kristin.

Here's the deal:

*Go to the place on your computer where you store all your pictures and open the 4th folder.
*Open the 4th picture.
*Post the picture and give an explanation of what it is.
*Tag 4 people.
*DO NOT CHEAT!! You cannot edit or crop the picture!!



This is my 4th folder, fourth picture. The explanation - this is a girl that I took senior portraits of last year. This is one that she chose, but she had some others that were really cute! This one turned out pretty good though! I wish it would have been a picture of Berklie, but you guys see enough of her! LOL! I tag - Kelly, Barbara, Sara, and Alice Ann

Happy Anniversary My Love

Today was mine and Flint's two year anniversary. I just have to blog about how blessed I am. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, a beautiful healthy bitty girl, 4 awesome step-children, loving family, and fabulous friends!

Flint is the love of my life, and I love and cherish him with all of my heart. Not only have I been blessed with the love of my life, but he is also my best friend. He is my rock, he is the smile that brightens my day, the hands that keep me safe, and my one and only. He is my everything!

Thank you, Flint, for all that you do, all that you are, and the person who you have helped me become! I love you with all that I am! ~ Remica

I also, have to say Happy 41st Anniversary to my Mom and Dad, and Flint's parents Susan and Larry. If you all don't know the story - our parent's got married on the exact same date the exact same year! So, we got married on that exact date 39 years later - January 26, 2007! Funny how things turn out! Below are some pictures of Flint and I.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of us.


I like this - we both have natural smiles on.


Our wedding day and the entire wedding party.


I love this one.

Feeding me cake at the wedding.


This is right before we went into have Berklie.
