Catch Up.....

I'm a year old!!!!!! Can you believe it? Mommy sure can't. I have grown up so much since the last time we talked. Here are the highlights of my summer.

I took my first road trip to Texas at the begining of June. Thirteen hours one way! It was exhausting. But I did really well. We took plenty of breaks, and as long as I had my blankey tag, I was just fine. My cousin Destiny did a great job entertaining me in the back seat. And my MeeMaw and PawPaw sure feel in love with me. I wowed them with all I can do, and oh the kisses and rock-a-byes on MeeMaw's chest. I really enjoyed my visit.

Not long after we got back from Texas mommy decided it was time for my first hair cut. I kinda got some comments about how long it was while we were in Texas, hint hint. So mommy took the leap and we got out the clippers! I was very patient and didn't mind it at all. But mommy soon realized I look like a little man, not a baby anymore.

I was working really hard at walking before we went to Texas. I can now say I walk all the time. I finally built up my courage and started walking around about 2 weeks ago. I have 5 teeth on top and the 2 lonely ones on the bottom. I now weigh about 26lbs. I haven't put on much weight, but I sure have gotten taller, 31" now! If I stretch I can touch the door knobs. I'm also a little climber.

Life is good and I am into everything. Mom is one of my new favorite words. I'm getting smarter every day, and there is always something new to learn.

Movin' and Cruzzin'

Hi guys! I'm growing, growing, growing, like a weed. Life has been busy. I'm all over the place, I'm only still when I'm sleeping. And most of the time, not even then. I'm a little wiggle worm.

I have my two bottom teeth, and my top two I think will be popping through soon. I have been really clingy and wanting my top gummes rubbed for the last two days.

My cousin Bubba turns a year old on Monday and tomorrow is his birthday party. He is a year old already. It is pretty unbelievable. I'll be one soon, and it kinda freaks mommy out. She doesn't think I should be so big so soon.

Here are a few pics. Momma let me have a jelly biscuit a last sunday. I was kinda upset that everyone else was sitting around the table eating breakfast, so momma let me join in. I'm really starting to expand my eating habits. I also had some cantaloupe, ohhhh how I loved it. It was straight to the bath after though.

We love all and hope everyone is doing well. Be looking forward to Bubba's birthday pics.

Ohhh So Long......But Here I Am

Mommy sincerely apologizes for my delay in blogging. I haven't quite made the last month easy on my mommy. I have been teething. I broke my first tooth around the first week of February and the second one broke through this past week. I have my two bottom teeth....yea!!!!!!! Needles to say I have been extremely fussy and so very clingy.

Well besides my new teeth, I have been a very busy little man. Aside from being the fastest little crawler around, I am pulling up on every thing and cruzing around the furniture. I'm learning the best way to get off the couch is "Feet First". Can you say, "Baby Proofing". I sure can't but I know I try to get everything in site!

I've had some bumps and bruises from my learning and exploring. I love the hardwood floor, and pushing around a 12pk of Cokes is one of my favorite exercises. I'm a little He-Man. I like to push around the kitchen chairs, I love to help load the dishwasher, and these days I'm walking my walker.

We had the biggest snow in years here in Memphis this past weekend. We got a little more than a foot of snow. Mommy didn't take me out, she got my first snow pic during the first snow we had back in January. She figured she wouldn't torture me with that snow suit this go around, so I just peaked out the window as Mommy, Uncle Nate, and Destiny made a very big snowman. Nana took beautiful pictures and Mommy got a Snow Day from work last Sunday to cuddle with me all day.

I got new clothes for spring the other day. It excited Mommy, she picked me out such cute clothes. I'm almost 8months old, so mommy picked out 18month cloths so they would be with me throughout the summer. Needless to say I was able to wear one of my shorts outfits today. That would be because we went from snow and freezing temps on
Tuesday to 70's yesterday and today.

Well, we love all and we hope you enjoy my new pics. And I promise we will get back to blogging on a regular basis. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of Firsts to Discuss

Sorry it has been so long. Mommy sincerely apologizes.

We have a lot to catch up on. I started crawling around the second week of this month. I had my 6 month check up on the 19th. Here's the run down:

Weight: 20lbs 8oz in the 90%
Height: 28in in the 95%
and my head is in the 70% (mommy forgot the exact measurement)

So there's my updates. I finally started going forward and now I am crawling all over the place. The whole world is a new place. Mommy has caught me pulling up a couple of times, I'm still kinda unsure about it. I have my first little bruises on my little head. Crawling comes with a bunch of bumps, and I'm sure many more bruises.

Life has been pretty routine and laid back lately. Cousin Jonathan spent a few days at the hospital with a very bad viral infection, but he fought it off really quickly and is doing much, much better. The family is doing great, everyone is enjoying my milestones.

I started trying some Gerber dinners with meat in them. I'm not so crazy about most of it yet, but I do love the chicken. My Nana gets a kick out of me eating. I end up with food all over my face. And Sunday's are made for kicking back and watching football with Uncle Nate.

We got away for a little this weekend. We staying the night with Aunt Krista, Uncle John, and Brianna. We have had quite a nice visit. Every place is something new and now that I'm crawling it is all that more fun and interesting.

Well, here are some pics my Aunt Krista took. And I promise I will start giving Mommy some time to update my page more often. We have just been so very busy lately. And on top of everything else I'm teething, my doctor said my bottom two will definitely be coming in soon. So I have been awfully fussy for the past week.
