For the past 1o years, my dad and I have travelled to Augusta for the Cutting Horse Futurities. It is an annual father-daughter trip that I hope continues for many years to come. This year we took two extra attendants. Of course, where I go my baby girl goes, and if I was going to attend the horse show without having to feed a baby, change diapers and rock a crying baby, I had to take someone to tend to the baby. So I took a babysitter...in the form of a grandmother, AKA Bunny.
Now my bestie friend lives in Columbia, South Carolina which is roughly an hour and a half from Augusta. Every year we meet up in Augusta and do a little shopping on Saturday before the show. This year, it was a little different. We didn't get too much shopping done. My bestie, Elizabeth, had a baby just six weeks after Wallace Anne was born. Her name is Isabelle, and since they too are going to be besties and college roommates, we thought they should meet at a very early age. It was love at first sight. I have never seen Wallace Anne so animated and vocal over another baby. She was throwing her hands up in the air, screaming and spitting with complete joy in her voice. At one point she reached out for Isabelle and pulled her to her. It looked like they were hugging. I kid you not, we had an audience watching this baby-baby interaction.

Now the dentist is all for Issie and Wally being college roommates. He definitely wants her to room with a good Southern girl with good parents, but he says Issie is just gonna have to be a Bulldog! Issie's mom was a Clemson Tiger, which the dentist says he would rather Wallace Anne not be, and Issie's daddy was a South Carolina Gamecock, which he just doesn't think he can stomach. So I guess we will have to start some imprinting on this little princess soon. From now on, every Christmas Issie will get and bright red Georgia Bulldog t-shirt!
