Just Showing Off

My little girl gets more beautiful and absolutely precious everyday!  So this post is just a bunch of my favorite pictures as of late that showcase her sweetness :)

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July is a Harrell favorite holiday!  We just love all the patriotism, summer activities, delicious food, and spectacular fireworks!  We've waited a long time to celebrate this day with our baby and the day finally arrived!  Usually we go all out with decorating the house, wearing our red, white, and blue all week, and throwing a big celebratory shindig, but this year we were so distracted with a newborn that none of that happened at all!  Oh well, there's always next year :)  But we did manage to have a wonderful holiday together just us three.  We spent the afternoon at the pool then went to a Charlotte Knights baseball game.  After the game we watched a fireworks extravaganza and Audrey just LOVED it all!  She adored every minute of the day's activities (except for nap time of course - lol) which means it was the best 4th of July we've ever celebrated!

How We Spend Our Days Together

This is how we spend most of our time together:

This little girl is a true cuddlebug!  She loves to snuggle ALMOST as much as her daddy.  Hey, at least she gets it honest :)  Our days together are so enjoyable now.  We snuggle all day and then start cleaning up and preparing dinner about an hour before daddy comes home.  As a family we enjoy eating dinner together before we head upstairs and give our little girl her nightly bath.  Afterwards we lather her up in that sweet baby lotion smell, bundle her up in her pajamas, feed her a bottle, and settle in for the night (all by 8pm).  Sometimes she falls right to sleep and other times she gives us a little happy play time.  Either way, it's sweet family time together and I love it so very much!
