First Park Visit

Last Friday night daddy had to work at the Waynesville Pizza Hut. We decided to go eat dinner there so we could see him. It was very impromptu, but we invited Tara and her family to join us. We all ended up eating dinner together. They said they knew of a really nice park in the area so we took advantage of the daylight saving time and had a fun play date, too! You enjoyed swinging although you are still quite small and need to be held secure. We put you on a rubber bridge and let you show Tara and Jimmy how you scoot around. Dax had a poop accident that we quickly cleaned up. Going commando didn't slow him down! Him and Aubry enjoyed running and playing together. You enjoyed watching the big kids. As we were leaving Dax slipped and fell hurting his chin. We learned flip flops and the park do not mix! We will remember that the next time we visit a park. It was indeed a blessed, fun Friday with family and friends!

Dedicated to God

"Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

 --Proverbs 22:6

 

 

Today was a very special day.  On this lovely Mother's Day we went to church as a family.  Thankfully, daddy did not have to work and was able to go with us.  His schedule has kept him extremely busy lately.  At the eleven o'clock service there was a special ceremony for baby dedications.  Daddy and I made a public promise to raise you in a Godly home so that you will grow to know the Lord as your personal Savior.  I live for the day when you and Dax make the decision to accept Christ into your hearts.  Our family came to share in this special occasion and took up an entire pew at church!  Grandma, Uncle Wade, Pawpaw, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Bobby, Gracie, Moses and Mamaw all came.  The church service was a true blessing and encouragement to be the best mother I can be for you two wonderful boys.  Being Mother's Day I can honestly say that I am truly blessed and love being your momma!  Every day is such a joy with you and Dax.  You both keep life fun and interesting.  For about a week now you have been on the move!  You're not crawling yet, but you sure are scooting around.  We've been calling you "Scooter."  Also, the past four nights in a row you have slept through the night!  Usually you wake up once, get a diaper change, drink a bottle and go back to sleep.  Daddy and I have enjoyed sleeping through the night and hope this is the new bedtime routine.  Hopefully I didn't jinx it by talking about it! :)

 

As you sleep and I write this, I vow to teach you about God, take care of you, comfort you, be here for you, cheer for you and always try to be the best momma I can be for you!  I love you with all my heart my sweet four toothed, scootin' happy boy!

 

Big Boy Car Seat

You have grown so much! Your little toes now hang out of your carseat. Daddy changed out you car seats last Sunday. You are no longer in a carrier but a big boy seat rear facing. Also, we took you to the doctor on Wednesday for your six month shots. You made a pouty face but did not cry! I was so impressed with you! These days I do not sit and feed you a bottle to put you to bed. Now I just play Scout and lay you down. You sometimes cry a little but for the most part you go to sleep quickly on your own. Last night you slept through the night! Dax is spending the night with Papaw. You were really sweet with Papaw tonight! Sweet dreams happy boy!!

Blueberry Muffins-Yum Yum!

On Saturday I woke up and made blueberry muffins. We were all enjoying them, except for you. You were sitting in my lap staring me down, actually staring my muffin down! You watched me take each bite and tried to grab the muffin. Daddy told me to give you a taste. I gave you a small nibble and you seemed to like it. You continued to eat several bites.

Tooth Time Times Two

Last Wednesday, February 27, you got your first two teeth! Your two front bottom teeth came in at the same time! You were so sweet tonight! You didn't go to sleep when I laid you in your crib so I just held you on the couch while mommy and daddy watched our show. I absolutely love holding you! You and I went to the grocery store last night and a man asked hold old you are. I said six months. Later in the car I realized I was wrong! You just turned seven months old! My baby is growing up way too fast! I have also nicknamed you the baby bandit because you love you cover your face with whatever cloth is around. I will say "Where's Hudson?!?" and you uncover your face and smile! I hope you have sweet dreams tonight! XOXO Mommy

Six Months and Growing

Last night I spotted your first tooth coming in! Daddy said it looked looked like two tonight! It's your two on the bottom front. You are such a happy, content baby! Everyone who watches you at church tells us how sweet you are and how much they love keeping you. One of your favorite things to do is lay with a blanket and cover your face while you kick around! I love to play Peek-a-boo with you and say "Where's Hudson?!?" You also like to take baths. I don't use a baby tub anymore, just hold you in the tub. You enjoy the freedom to kick and splash around. Each day is filled with joy watching you learn and grow.

First Valentine's Day

This morning daddy got you and Dax ready for the day. You looked so cute in your special outfit! You spent the day at Gammy's. This evening the four of us went to dinner at Longhorn with Madge and Carl. We actually had to be out of the house because our house was being showed! After. Yummy dinner we came home and relaxed. You are the sweetest lil' guy! You are loved so much! Dax tells me to give you double hugs and kisses at night! :)
