9 Months Today and a Full House

It feels like Louise's first 9 months have been in fast forward mode, and I wish they were in slow motion instead. I can hardly stand it. Here she is...9 months old today:

In other news, we've had our Alabama visitors with us for a whole week!


For starters, we road tripped it to Mandeville for family, swimming and lunch. 

Thanks Meme and Paw-D for the post-swim feast!

Papaw and Matt

Future heartbreaker

Then it was back to Baton Rouge. The rest of the week looked a little something like this...

The little Rodrigue, blue-handed...

...who later met his match at the Blue Dog exhibit... (Thanks, Papa!)

...followed by lunch with the ladies. 

We're eagerly awaiting the arrival of a couple more visitors this weekend, my sister, Caroline, and our buddy, Jon. It's a full house, and it'll be a lot of fun. Hope your weekend is, too!
