Mae is pushing nine months old - three quarters of a year old is just around the corner. It is crazy how much time has gone by. We've now been in the south for five months. When we arrived Mae was just a little over three months old. Which means she has officially been a southern belle for over two months! Yes our little girl has spend more of life in the south than in the NW. She's adapted to her role of a southern belle nicely.
Mae loves to crawl around outside - although often gets timid in the grass and prefers to stay in one place unless she is chasing her brother. She does very well to leave a hat on if one is presented to shade her.
Dresses (another southern belle staple) won't slow her down either. No matter her attire - whether dress, skirt, and just a diaper - she can crawl with great speed and efficiency if she so desires. It's impressive! Occasionally a dress will thwart her because her feet get stuck in it - but she merely does a little foot maneuvering and continues along without much fuss.
Sunlight also is great for Mae... doesn't she look pretty? ;) She loves to play in the sunshine and when it peeks in the house through the windows, she likes to chase it and tries grab it. It's really adorable to watch as she crawls after the sunlight and trying to track it down.

Overall this little southern belle is doing wonderful and I know she will miss the warmth and sun after we leave (we all will!) But I am sure she will enjoy exploring all the other neat things that the NW affords us that the south does not... like snow! Brr!

She has the natural Southern Belle gene...
She is precious and you are right, this atmosphere seems to fit her. Don't be surprised if she grows up and goes to school in the south. :)
I always offered to send her mom to Scooba Tech... for some reason she chose a different school.. I wonder why???
