Fall Collection

I love to pick the seasons "IT" polish color! This summer it was all about OPI's Shrek collection. My personal favorite was Rumples Wiggin...still on my toes now! I was flipping through a magazine the other day and came across the new Essie ad. Their fall collection is gorgeous! I do believe that Little Brown Dress will be the "IT" color for fall!

Nine Months

Lillian weighed 21 1b. 3 oz at her nine month check-up, and was 28.25 inches tall. Every month gets more fun and I can not imagine how I could love this girl anymore! I wonder everyday what I did to deserve this life. God is so good! Lil has developed such a cute personality! She makes us laugh all the time. She is trying to pull up by herself; and loves to stand up if we pull her up. She is still crawling all over the house, but she doesnt get her stomach off the floor. She sort of pulls her body across the floor with her hands. It is the weirdest looking thing I have ever seen! I dont think she will ever crawl correctly, but just go straight to walking! She loves Sid the Science Kid and Sesame Street. She prefers electrical cords or my magazines to any of her toys! What is it about electrical cords that are so fascinating??? She practically hyperventilates over her hairbrush; she loves it so much! Speaking of which, her hair has gotten so thick! I cant believe how straight it is. Dustin and I both have really curly hair, but hers is straight as a board. I am in the process of weaning her. I breastfed her exclusively for nine months! But now I. am. over. it.
Weaning is so intimidating to me! Not sure why. But we are pretty much there. She has only nursed once in two days, and I think she is really preferring the bottle now! She has still never been sick! I pray for her every single night before I put her to bed, and thank God for such a sweet miracle.

The McCain household has been so busy this summer! Dustin changed jobs, Grace is getting married, and we are getting ready to put our house on the market and build a new one! I am so looking forward to fall weather! Is is weird that I'm already planning her birthday party??







Stop taking pictures of me, Mom!

Can I Just Say...

So... I am over a week late in posting my baby girls nine month photo and stats. My laptop has crashed again. Maybe for good this time. My baby sis Grace is in CA this week and left me hers! Thank God for my Droid phone, or I would go crazy! Nine month stats and pic to come soon!
but for today....
Can I just say that I am ecstatic that my sister Margaret is finally moving back to the States after three years of living in Sydney?!!! She has been working so hard on her music, and finally got a CD out. If you haven't bought it yet, you are missing out! For What Its Worth by Maggie Eckford on Itunes! Buy IT! It is truly addictive. She will be home just in time for all of Grace's wedding activities, and then she plans to move to Nashville. I am so happy for her and so happy that It wont take a 36 hour plane ride to get to her! (and a 2k$ plane ticket!)
As for Grace's wedding...only a month and a half! The festivities have already begun and are keeping me super busy!
Isn't she beautiful?
