Acker Country Living: Wares in Wears

This past week was spent in Wears Valley, TN with the Ware side of our family. My parents, siblings, and nephews stayed in a spacious cabin in the mountains for the week to enjoy some quality time while also enjoying what all the Tennessee mountains have to offer. Susannah is in love with both her cousins and has a special affection for her Aunt Katie. She often thought Katie was me until she got close enough to detect whatever it is that tells a baby that her mommy is a different 5'4, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, however-many-pounds-that-will-remain-a-mystery-to-you lady. Pete and Brian dubbed Katie with the nickname "Fake Mom" for the week because of Susannah's love for her. It was real cute.

Susannah had some major milestones this week, too. Her cousin Holland, who is two months older than her, crawls, pulls up on stuff, eats solid foods with his own hands, waves, and many other things that Susannah had not mastered and/or attempted yet. She watched him so carefully all week long and came home with several new tricks: crawling, pulling up, eating solids with her own hands, and waving. Regardless, this is way too many new things for me to handle. She's growing up too fast!

And this just in: Susannah has another tooth coming in! One of her top middle teeth has broken through as of yesterday evening!

I didn't take many pictures during our vacation, so here are the ones I snapped or that a family member sent me:
