New Year, Big Boy

It's been awhile since I've been on here, and boy have I grown up! I had a fun time at the new years party at mema & papas house. Nana gave me a little gift every hour from 8 till midnight & I love gifts! We ate new years lunch at Granny & Papas house & I realized I hate collared greens! Then it was Valentines day. I got cards, candy, stuffed animals, & a huge singing balloon. I've been carrying my balloon around since I got it. Me & Daddy got Mommy a card, a stuffed puppy, & some roses & she loved them very much!!

I'm almost 18 months old & I'm learning so much, so fast! I've got 8 teeth with one more almost thru. I'm getting so tall & I'm talking so much. Mommy & Daddy love seeing me grow up, but they wish I would slow down a bit!!

Merry Christmas

I had a very busy Christmas weekend! I had two parties on Christmas Eve. I got a mini-quad, a remote controlled ford truck, other toy trucks, & clothes. Then on Christmas day Santa came to see me & then I went to Nanas, Memas, & Grannys. That day I got a play kitchen, a shopping cart, playfood, a tent, clothes, books, a talking dump truck, a racetrack, a spongebob toothbrush set, penguin bath wash set, a bubble set, candy, & some lighting mcqueen houseshoes. Then I had one more party the day after Christmas. There I got another talking dumptruck, a boat for the bathtub, & some clothes. Now it's almost a new year & I'm ready to celebrate & dance the night away!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

For Halloween Me, Mommy, Daddy, & Nana went to Aw Shucks Pumpkin patch. I got to dress up as Tigger & I got to pick out my very own baby pumpkin. I even carried it around! I got to walk through an old rail car, climb hay mountain with Mommy, go in a tree house with Mommy & Daddy, & slide down a giant slide with Daddy. I got to work on an old truck & see a turkey & some chickens & a roaster. Then I got to pet some goats & I loved them! We went on a hay ride & saw people walk through the corn maze. I think Nana had just as much fun as I did that day! On Halloween I went trick or treating with Mawmaw & Pawpaw & I got lots of candy. I also got some yummy animal cookies & cotton candy...two of my favorite things. Then the next day I went with my Favorite Aunt Kim to a fall festival at her friends church. I had a blast there too.

I just recently turned 14 months old & now I have 6 teeth. I'm getting into everything & running around all day long. I love to eat, play, & be outside. I'm starting to talk alot too. It's getting close to Thanksgiving & Christmas. Mommy even has our tree up already. I am learning that I can only look at it & not touch it. Mommy saids she's already bought a few of my presents. I wonder what I'll get!

Mr. One Year Old!!

I had a wic appointment on august 24th. I had to get pricked in my big toe, but I never shed one single tear! I had my 1st birthday party on august 29th at My mema & papas house in lancaster. My whole family was there and it was a spongebob party. I got alot of great gifts. I got two tool sets that I love, I got a lightning McQueen ride on toy from my Nana, I got an orange motorcycle & fake bloody hand from Johnny ( And it didn't even scare me!), I got books, pjs, lots of cute clothes, diapers, wipes, a little firetruck, a big firetruck, & a big car hauler with a little yellow car. I loved my spongebob cake! I didn't even make a mess, I just ate it like a big boy! Turning one sure was hard work because it wore me & mommy & daddy slam out! The day after my birthday I had my one year doctors appointment. I had to get 4 shots and then get blood drawn. It hurt really bad and made me really angry & ill nearly all afternoon, but Daddy got to stay home & help take care of me. And they gave me a sticker, but I hope that the shots are over for now because I really don't like them!

Life in the fast lane

It's almost time for my 1st birthday! Mommy has no clue where she's gonna put all my presents! I'm having two parties so I'm sure It'll be a blast. I already have two teeth & it looks like 3 more are coming soon. I say "dada" all the time & "mommy" mainly when I want food or I'm super sleepy. I love to dance & I'll dance to everything musical. Even comericals and Mommy's phone ringing. I love to go swimming at Nanas' & to ride around outside in my little red car. Lately I'm making it difficult at bedtime. But I just like to play & scream when I don't get my way! I'm still eating any & everything I can get and I love it all. I love to hear mommy read to me & then I act like I'm reading to her. I love having my hair brushed & trying to brush daddy's' hair. I love bath time. I get to sit in the water & play with all my water toys while I get clean. Sometimes I even hate to get out, but then mommy puts lotion on me & rubs my piggies & brushes my hair & then I'm alright again. Mommy's almost finished with my scrapbook for my 1st year of life & it's full of pictures of me & my wonderful family. Sometimes she even lets me look at it & help her put pages together. I sure do love my family!!

Growing up!

It's been almost two months since my surgery & I'm good as gold! My doctor saids everything looks wonderful. I have two bottom teeth & am crawling & pulling up on everything! Mommy's already planning my 1st birthday party. It's gonna be a spongebob party, since I love to watch him on tv. I love food, Mommy saids I can eat just about anything you put in front of me. And I haven't found one thing that I dislike. I especially like watermelon & baby cheetos. Now I can say "papa', "bye", & "hey." And I loved the fireworks on the 4th of July! I'm getting good at crawling around the house & getting into EVERYTHING and mommys' getting a great workout too!! I love being outside & going to the go-cart track. It's hard to believe that soon I'll be one year old..my how time flies!!

My 1st Surgery

May 11, 2010. My papas' birthday and my first surgery. When I was born only one of my man parts dropped down into place and my doctor had to put the other one down into place with surgery. I had to be at Palmetto Children's Hospital at 6 am with my Mommy and Daddy. I went to registration and they had a race car I could play in. I loved holding the steering wheel! My Papa, Granny, Pawpaw, Mawmaw, Nana, and Aunt Kim all came to be with me. After I was registered they took me, Mommy, and Daddy to a room and changed me into a gown and I got to play with a toy and spend time sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's arms. Then the doctors came in and talked and made Mommy sign alot of papers. Then they came to take me to the operating room and take Mommy and Daddy to the family waiting room. It only took 45 mins for my operation and then I went to recovery. Daddy came in for a second then Mommy came in and I was put in her lap and given a bottle for the first time in over 12 hours. After my bottle I fell asleep and they wheeled me & Mommy to a regular room and than Daddy came back in. They had to give a breathing treatment because I sounded a little froggy, but it helped alot. Then it was time to go home. I'm doing pretty well but I'm in a good deal of pain. I've got good pain medicine though. Right now I can tell something went on and I'm not happy about it at all. It hurts a little to try and move around and I'm really out of it from being put to sleep, but hopefully in a day or so the pain won't be as bad and I'll be a happier baby boy. Mommy and Daddy hate seeing me in pain and it's hard to hold me and walk around with me and try to be as easy as possible. Mommy and Daddy have to go back to work 2morrow, but not at the same time so I won't have to leave my house until Friday morning. For the next two weeks I can't be in my exersaucer, bouncer, or swing and have to be careful not to hurt my man parts. I go back to the urologist on June 21st to make sure all is healing and back to normal.

Rollie Pollie

I've missed some time, but here I am! I have my 2nd cold and 1st ear infection and mommy and daddy are sick too. They are miserable, but I'm still Mr. Happy pants! I'm learning to crawl but until then I can roll anywhere I wanta go! I can finally sit up without much support and I'm learning to eat real foods. I love Cheetos and cereal puffs and sucking on rib bones at Nanas'! I'm already 8 months old and Mommy's thinking up 1st birthday party themes and I hope she picks spongebob because I love that show!! I've also had my 1st zoo trip, carnival trip, and been to my 1st rodeo and loved it all. I spent my 1st night at my aunt Brandy and uncle Bryans too and had lots of fun playing with my cousins Caroline and Ashton. I love going to Nanas every other weekend (Mommy & Daddy enjoy the break too!). We go shopping and swing outside and I get to play with aunt Molly, Nanas' toy poodle. I just love pulling her fuzzy hair! Nana really helps my parents out alot. Along with the rest of our big family. I'm spoiled rotten and truly blessed in Life!!

Growing up too fast..

I'm about to be 6 months old already!! I'm a little over 18 lbs. & getting so long & chubby! I'm trying to roll over & babble to carry on a conversation. I've learned how to spit & I do it all the time to my mommy & daddy! My hair is finally starting to grow back, so no one can call me bald anymore. I love playing in my exersaucer & horsey jumperoo & with my play cell phone that mommy & daddy bought me, even though I'd rather chew on a real one! I now wear a size 3 diaper & eat baby food, I love everything sweet & Mommy calls me a little piggy! I love playing with my feet & I try to put them in my mouth to! I'm still working on getting my first tooth & lately my mouth's bothering me alot & it's hard for me or my parents to get much sleep. I just got two huge bags of new clothes and Mommy's looking for a bigger car seat because I'm trying to sit up in mine. Mommy doesn't understand that all I wanta do is see the world!!

My playdate with Landon & Valentines' Day!

On Wednesday I had a play date with my older cousin Landon. We had lots of fun after his mommy woke him up from his nap! We sat on the couch and played while our Mommy's' took a million pictures and Amanda was their and Aunt Kim even stopped by. We went to take lunch to Landon's' daddy, shopping, & Zaxbys'. Then we went to see Jessica, Henry, & Kaelyn. We had a great day and I got my Valentines' gifts from Nana, Mawmaw, & Paw. I got candy, stuffed animals, toys, cards, & a coloring book! Mommy and Daddy got me some candy, a stuffed red monkey, a rose, & a pretty card that I tried to eat! I had a great 1st Valentines' Day!!

A great start to a new year

I'm loving this new year. I've grown so much since I was born & Mommy & Daddy say I'm growing way too fast! I love spending time with my parents, we have so much fun together. Mommy reads to me & we play peek-a-boo & lots of other fun games. Mommy loves rubbing lotion on me & I love it when she rubs my little feet. Mommy also opened me a bank account & she puts money it so I can save up & go to college one day. I wonder what I'll be when I grow up? I like watching mommy play on the computer, I love watching football with daddy, & I taught myself to close mommy's cell phone when she's playing on it & it's annoying me! I sleep great though the night (but when I stay with my Nana I think it's play time 24/7!!), & Mommy loves to cuddle with me. I have a little cold right now, but my doctor gave me cough medicine & mommy got me a cool mist humidifier & some saline drops for my nose...I'm starting to get over it & that makes Mommy & Daddy very happy..I also ate in my high chair for the first time & it was new and interesting for me..I love my baby food..I love applesauce, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, & pears & I also like apple juice & rice cereal...I had a day at the mall with my Mommy & my Nana & I had a blast! I rode on the carousel for the 1st time with my Mommy & it was fun..I loved watching the animals move up & down..and I talked all day long while I rode in my stroller playing with my monkey who is my new friend...being a baby is pretty sweet, but now I'm turning into a big boy right before everyones' eyes...

I know I'll go see all my family & I've been told that I'm gonna get a million new clothes, books, & toys..I surely can't wait to be able to play with toys. I'm starting to babble & laugh all the time, but Mommy just wishes she spoke baby! I'm also almost 13 lbs & Mommy wonders where these past 4 months have gone so quickly. I'm slowy turning into a daddy's' boy..I keep one eye on him everytime he's around me & I love to snuggle with him & Mommy too!

She's been giving me teething caplets & their helping with my pain..I love this great baby life I live..

My Playdate with my older cousin Landon..don't we look so cute?!!

Sweet Baby Life

Saturday, November 28th, I spent the night at Pawpaws & Mawmaws'. Pawpaw loves messing with my nose & he gives me yummy suckers! I had a great night and even saw Pawpaw drive a tractor. I can't wait till I can ride with Pawpaw in the rollback. Sunday we had Turkey lunch at my great-grandparents house. I got to meet even more of my huge family. I was amazed with all the pretty girls with all their long hair! Thursday Mommy gave me some banana baby food & I loved it! And now I have a bumbo seat & I'm learning to sit up like a big boy. Friday I got to sit in my cowboy jumperoo & listen to the horsey noises. I'm not so sure about it yet though. Friday I also went with Mommy & Daddy to a Habatii restaurant and I was a very good boy while Mommy & Daddy ate their dinner. My Mommy's' been back at work for 3 weeks now & she's working more hours then she would like & she still hates to leave me for the day. But I get to stay with my Granny, Nana, & Mawmaw so she knows I'm safe, well taken care of, & have a great time. I'm one very spoiled little boy!

My 1st Turkey Day!

I had a great first Thanksgiving! I woke up in the bed with Mommy & Daddy and we snuggled together for a while & they told me how thankful they were to have me in their lives. Then I took a power nap while Mommy & Daddy got ready. Then we went to Memas' & had Thanksgiving dinner & they even let me try some banana pudding, which I loved! I got to see my whole family & my baby cousin Landon, he's only 3 months older then me so we get to grow up together. Then Mommy made me take lots & lots of pictures, which got tried of very quickly! And Mommy saids the best part of it all was that I slept all night long!

Baby Santa gives good kisses

Today I learned a new trick! Now when my daddy tells me to give him kisses I open my cute little mouth & kiss my daddy back! But for some reason I only do it for my daddy & I'm turning into a big time daddy's' boy & making mommy jealous! I love watching football while laying on daddy's' chest & at night when daddy hands me to mommy & saids night, night I pitch a fit until mommy calms me down. Today we also took some family Christmas pictures & mommy & daddy even bought me a Santa suit! I hated my Santa hat, but mommy said I had to wear it & mommy loves the pictures my aunt Kim took of our adorable little family. Not to mention aunt Kim got to be in a few too..she's a camera hog as mommy saids, but we still love her!! Friday night mommy & daddy bought my Christmas gifts & I got to stay the night at paw paw & grandmas'..they told mommy I had loads of fun & I slept really well. And Saturday morning they even took me shopping. I got two new outfits & three pairs of socks & when they brought me home I was pooped. Monday night mommy goes back to work, and she's really dreading it majorly! Luckily she'll only be working 15-20 hours a week & we have a handful of people who will watch me, but mommy doesn't think she'll make it thru her first week without crying! I can't blame her, she's had 2 1/2 months to spoil me around the clock & she's afraid to miss a single tender moment with her adorable, favorite baby boy! My daddy has two jobs now. He works at my pawpaw's' tire shop as a mechanic & is now the head wrestling coach of north central middle school. It's a dream job for him. And he's hoping that next school season he can move up to varsity wrestling at north central high school, since the coach is leaving the school & he's highly recommended. Then mommy can say bye-bye to rite aid & spoil me 24/7 which is what she's praying for! I also recently started my baby cereal & I love it! Well I've had alot of things to tell, but now mommy's gotta spoil me some more!!

Playing with Mommy & Daddy

I have a new toy! It's a ring with 3 little monkeys on it. I am learning how to hold it in my hand & when it makes a noise it simply amazes me. It makes me laugh too! I'm also getting good at playing on m tummy. I lay on my tummy & kick my little feet like I wanta go somewhere! Mommy & Daddy are very proud of me.

My day with Mommy & Nana

Today my Nana came to spend some time with me! And Daddy didn't know it, but Mommy & Nana put our Christmas tree up. It's white with multi-colored lights & it simply amazes me!! My Nana kept waking me up so I'd sleep at night time for Mommy, but I hate being woke up, so I had a major fit. Mommy & Nana just thought it was funny because I got so mad that I started snorting like a little piggy!! Mommy also got a special package from ups today..it was a huge blanket with a picture of me on it. Mommy almost cried when she first saw it! I was really sad to see my Nana leave, but Friday night I get to spend the night at her house..I love my Nana very much!!!!

My 1st Halloween 2009

I was a cute little monkey! I went to Aunt Brandy's', Grandpas', Mommy's' work, Grandmama & granddaddy's', Memas & Grandpas', & then Carrisa & Brandons' for my 1st Halloween party. I got to play with my cousin Landon, whose only 2 months older than me. We kept kicking & touching each other! I slept alot, but I also had a great time!
