The Davis Family: Davis Family Visits Alabama

We had several days of jam-packed fun with the Davis crew from Texas! Granny, Greg, Dana, Payton and Finley all arrived in Birmingham on Thursday and we hit the ground running immediately and never stopped. Payton is such a sweet, energetic, spunky little three year old that loves action. She was so sweet and gentle with William. I know they are going to be great buddies when William is a little more interactive. Thursday night we ordered pizzas from Whole Foods and ate at the apartment. Payton helped me bathe William and was a little shy about little boys in the tub. She asked me if she could just wash his hair :) After bath time we read a book.

Payton held William's hand while we read a story.

Sweet Finley! She may be the happiest baby I know. Always smiling and just goes with the flow!

Friday morning we went to the McWane Science Center. I think Payton had a good time touching sharks, making bubbles, watching the "fishes" I-Max, and running around with her Daddy.

William did this the entire time except when he woke up for 15 minutes to eat.

Friday night we had dinner at Superior Grill which was a good choice by Grant, because it was very kid-friendly. This was mine and Grant's first experience feeding William in a restaurant. After I fed him and before I ate, I passed him across the table to Grant, and William kicked over my glass of water which ended up landing directly into our platter of fajitas! I did manage to eat one before the water incident. Aunt Dana graciously agreed to take William outside so Grant and I could eat more chips. It was such a fun night!

A little sweaty waiting outside for our table, but I had to post this pic of Payton having a choke hold of the babies. Love it.

William loves his Aunt Dana!

Saturday morning, we took Payton and William to the pool. Finley stayed with Granny so she could take a nap. Payton was so brave and went down a very curvy slide AND jumped off the diving board! Julie met us at the pool and enjoyed seeing Greg and Dana since she hadn't seen them since our wedding. Of course everyone obsessed over Payton's precious little personality. I could eat her up!!

I think William enjoyed his 1st trip to the pool.

Finally opened those eyes and flashed us a smile!

Love that little tummy :)

Saturday night, we celebrated Granny's birthday with a cookout at the apartment. We had burgers and Dana made a bunch of delicious sides. We topped off the weekend with a birthday cake for Granny.
