Pictures, Turkey Day, and Black Friday

Have you ever seen a baby so cute? Wednesday Mrs. Lindsey came and took my picture. Mommy was so excited to see her again. It's been at least 6 years since they have seen each other. I really like Mrs. Lindsey...she got down in the floor and played with me, and she asked mommy if we could go outside and boy do I love going outside. She took a ton of pictures and she had me sitting in my rocking chair from Aunt Jeanine. Then she brought me back inside and took my clothes off and made more pictures. I managed to flash a few smiles at her. She sent mom one picture and our disc should be in the mail soon with the rest of them. Mommy and Daddy can't wait to get it. Mommy enjoyed getting to catch up with her best friend from high school and we all are very grateful she took amazing pictures of me.

So yesterday was Thanksgiving. Me and mommy got up early and enjoyed the beautiful day. It was windy but it looked pretty outside. Mommy cooked a green bean casserole, then she woke daddy up and he made some yummy mac-n-cheese. Mommy made a gallon of tea and then we were off to Granny and Harold's. Uncle D, Aunt Sharon, and Robert were there too! Uncle D held me til I fell asleep. I slept most of the time we were there. Once mommy and daddy got done eating we went to Aunt Shellie and Devin's house. Mommy and Daddy ate a little more once they got there. Aunt Shellie made all the food, and mommy said she was thankful for not having to cook :) My big cousin Devin read me a book while we were there and then he went through all the sale papers and made a list of toys he wanted. I can't wait til I can make lists. When we left Aunt Shellie's we went back to Granny and Harold's. We waited on Granny to get back from the nursing home before we ate dinner. I met some new people tonight too. Mommy's cousins William, Nique, Lexi, Austin, Malcolm, Misty, Mallie, Mackenzie, and Mary Grace stopped at Granny's to see us. Lexi has learned to whistle and I smiled cause she whistled at me. Once we ate dinner I went to sleep and mommy went with daddy to get some gas. I stayed with Granny. Mommy dropped daddy back off at home and then she came back to Granny's. She fed me and then she went to Toys' R Us for there midnight sale. The lines were so long she didn't buy anything. I'm glad she didn't stay long because I was starving by the time she got back home. She fed me and we went to bed. I think I finally quit fighting sleep around 2. I slept til 5 am. Mommy got up and fed me then she woke Granny up and Granny went back to bed with me while mommy went and picked daddy up. For some reason they were going shopping before the sun even came up. Around 8 am. mommy and daddy came back to Granny's and picked me up. Daddy says he missed me and I missed him too. They took me to Target to pick up a few last things. Then we went back to Granny's so they could eat lunch. We finally made it back home and I was pooped. Me and daddy were gonna watch Christmas movies but we both fell asleep. Mommy got all the gifts wrapped that they bought today. I took a very long nap. When I woke up my Grandpa Tweedell called. They wanted to come see me and bring me a gift. Grandma Becky bought me a HUGE nutcracker. She knew mommy and daddy collected them and she wanted me to have one of my own. Mommy and Daddy had already bought me my first one, but this is my first big one. It's way bigger than me. I really like it. Now it's night time and I've slept most the day. I'm kinda tired now. I guess I am gonna go snuggle in the bed with mommy and daddy and try to watch those Christmas movies. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Night night

Tomorrow is the big day

Geez..I've gotta start keeping up with my blog more often. Let's see Saturday I took my first trip to Wal-mart. Mom and dad got separate buggies and they bought groceries. Well dad pushed me in one buggy and mom shopped. I don't really see what the big deal is about wal-mart. I slept the whole time, seemed kinda boring to me, but it made mommy smile :) Mom saw lots of people she knew and she loves showing me off. Saturday afternoon we went to Aunt Sharon and Uncle D's to listen to his band practice. Well mom and dad went to the basement to hear them play and I stayed upstairs with Aunt Sharon. She put me on the floor and the drums vibrated the floor...and I fell asleep :) Sunday Granny came over and played with me while mom decorated her Christmas tree. Then we went to Ross and Walmart with Granny while she did some more Christmas shopping. Then we came home and mom decorated some more. Then Aunt Sharon and Uncle D stopped by to drop off my hat that I left at their house the night before. Uncle D held me and talked to me. He even made me smile. Monday was pretty much the same ol' same ol'. Me and mom went to Granny's and stayed until the afternoon. Then we came home and hung out with dad. Today has been pretty boring too. I've been sleeping at night like a good little boy, and now mommy and daddy can't sleep. When I laid down this morning to take my early morning nap mom got up to clean and dad was finally able to fall asleep. I napped a few hours which mom greatly appreciated. She's been cleaning the house like a mad woman today...because tomorrow is the big day...Mrs. Lindsey is coming to do my pictures. Mom is excited to see what she comes up with. I might even decide to flash her a smile :)

Well I won't promise I will "blog" every night this week because I know it's gonna be busy the rest of the week. Tomorrow pictures, Thursday is Turkey Day...whatever that is. Thursday night we are spending the night with Granny and Harold so mommy can get up early to go shopping (how silly) and Sunday is my dedication at the church. Wow I need a nap just thinking about all that :) Anyway until tomorrow night night.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Ok I don't remember the last day I blogged. Wait...it was Tuesday. So let me see...Wednesday was a pretty boring day. Woke up went to Granny and Harold's. Went home and watched mommy and daddy cook and clean. They sure do a lot of that. Then Thursday I woke up with horrible gas. Mom took me to Granny and Harold's because I didn't feel good and I usually rest over there. I will lay in my bed an just be content. But not that day I cried and cried. My belly really hurt. I had gas so bad, and I kept spitting up. Mommy and I went home around 3. I was starting to feel a little bit better. Dad hasn't been feeling well lately and he's been really tired. Me and mom decided we would spend the night at Granny and Harold's Thursday night so daddy could finally get a full night's sleep. I've never spent the night away from home. We sure did have fun. I got to play and look at my new mobile in my bed at Granny and Harold's. Mom bathed me off and we went to bed. I actually slept last night too. I think it might be because I slept in the bed with mommy. I seem to sleep better and most of the time mommy is so exhausted she just lets me sleep wherever. Everyone says you can spoil a baby by letting them sleep with you but mommy says she doesn't care I'm only gonna be little once :) Granny woke up at 4 am to see if I was up yet. And by 5 am she came in the room and got me so mommy could sleep a little more. Mommy sure did enjoy those extra hours of sleep. Me and mommy stayed at Granny's today until 3 then dad came and picked us up. We ran some errands with dad then we went home. Mom and I had planned on going shopping with Granny and Harold and we were excited. We decided on spending the night with Granny and Harold again. Daddy was having a guys night in. He and his cousin were gonna grill out and watch movies tonight. Mommy fed me then we got ready to go shopping. We went to Iron Horse with Granny, Harold, and Robert, then we went to the coolest place ever. Toys R Us. It's a HUGE TOY STORE!!!!!! All kinds of toys, trucks, trains, video games...I don't ever wanna to grow up! Hey I should write them a jingle :) Granny got a few Christmas gifts and mom bought me some kind of medicine for hiccups. I tried a new kind of formula tonight. It wasn't all that bad, but we will see how it does tonight. Let's hope for mine and mommy's sake I can keep it down. Well I guess I need to go, I don't want to keep Granny, Harold, and Robert awake by using the computer. So night night.

Oh What Fun It Is To Ride...

In my carrier! I thought that sounded funny. Me and Daddy have been listening to music and I think my favorite so far is Jingle Bells. Anyway back to the carrier...I love this thing. Mommy can put me in it, walk around and clean for hours while I nap. Although today I didn't ride in very long because I'm fighting sleep and I knew if I stayed in it very long I would be snoozing. Today has been pretty boring. I woke up at 8 got fed, diaper changed the usual. Then I got to swing for a little bit. We went to Granny and Harold's for the morning then we came home got daddy and ran our errands for the day. It's rainy and chilly outside today so I couldn't get out of the car. Now we are back home and just relaxing. Well I'm relaxing, mommy and daddy have been washing clothes and cleaning. Seems boring to me...so I'll just swing. I was in such a hurry last night that I forgot to mention that I'm being dedicated at the church where mommy and daddy got married next Sunday. I'm excited. Mommy is a little worried that I might get hungry while we are at church but I think everything will be ok. Mommy has a special outfit picked out for me and my Granny bought me a cool blanket with a bear and a cross on it. I'm excited to go see new people! So nothing much is going on this week. Nothing planned for this weekend either. Next week Mrs. Lindsey is coming to do my pictures she is finally gotten over her cold and they are gonna be in Newnan anyway for Thanksgiving. Mommy is really excited. Sorry I just don't get excited over having my picture made but I'm sure it will be fun. Maybe I'll even flash everyone this beautiful new smile of mine :) Well I guess that's all for tonight. I better go sneak me in a nap so I can pull an all nighter :)

I'm Smiling

No seriously I'm smiling. I started this today. Me and Mom were at Granny's and I did. Mom kind of blew it off because she assumed it was gas but tonight she was trying to wake me up to feed me and I thought why not make her day and smile at her. She grabbed the camera and I thought what the heck I'll do it again. I can't keep from smiling now. Well I do have a pretty good life, wake up eat, sleep, play, eat, sleep. It's pretty great if you ask me.

So today started like any other day...I woke up ate tried to go back to sleep but my tummy started rumbling and I had to let it out. Mommy changed my diaper a million times today. I guess it's that stupid formula working it's way out. Anyway daddy got up and helped mommy put me in the carrier. She can wear the carrier and clean while I'm close to her. I love to ride in it and sleep. I can tell when mommy stops walking though, so I wake up and make her walk more :) She doesn't mind really, at least she can clean while I nap.

We had company today. Mommy's friend from high school, Brandi Bays, came to see me today. She brought her little girls, but they didn't seem to interested in me. They didn't stay long but we are very glad they came to visit.

Anyway I can't write much tonight mom is wanting to go take her bath and I can't be on the computer if no one is around so that's all for tonight.

"MOM...I'm HUNGRY!"

I feel like that's what I've been saying the past two days. Mom has been worried that I'm eating too much or not getting enough to eat that's why I'm staying hungry. I swear I think she just read all those books to take up time because she doesn't remember a lot of what she read. I'm going through a growth spurt duh. She keeps trying different formulas with me and I wish I could talk because I would tell her to keep it to herself I don't like the stuff.
So again it's been a few days since I've blogged. I'll catch you up on all my events. Friday we went to the bank to open my very own savings account. While mom was pregnant she would put change in my piggy bank every week. Kind of an early allowance I guess. Then when someone would give me money she put it in my bank. Well I had 102.00 to open my savings account with. She kept out my very first dollar from Maw Maw Marks and my two dollar bills daddy has been saving me. Mom and Dad were very excited about my savings account and I guess I should be too. Maybe one day I will have enough money in there to buy my first car. Heck right now I would settle for a Hot Wheels. :) OK so on to Saturday now...mom had a baby shower to go to. Mom and Dad's friends the Hall's are expecting a little boy. So we drove to Villa Rica for a baby shower. I was the littlest baby there and the cutest if I do say so. Saturday night was pretty boring. Mom and Dad couldn't get me to go to sleep...I wasn't tired. They tried everything and I put up a strong fight until they pulled out the big gun...the car. They put me in the car and I was out like a light. No fair. And I think they might have went to McDonald's too, because I'm pretty sure I smelled fries in my dreams. So that brings us to today. Me and Mommy went shopping with Granny. I got a new shirt and a pair of pants and gas drops. Yay for me! And Granny bought lots of Christmas gifts and I'm pretty sure one of them was mine. But I didn't peak. The rest of the day we spent at home. I love Sundays.
Well that's all for tonight. Tomorrow is Monday I hope I sleep well tonight because Mondays stink.

It's Been Awhile...

Yep it's been almost a week since I've "blogged". Alot has happened. Friday I went in my very first store. Me, mom, Granny, and Aunt Sharon went to a place called What's in Store, and I can tell you what was in that store...a lot of glass. I can tell I probably won't get to go in there once I get older becuase there is alot of stuff in there that might break. Then we went into a really cool toy store. My dad loves that store and I can tell why. I think I could probably spend my whole allowance in there! Going out is really fun but I don't get to do it very much but that's ok I understand my mom just doesn't want me to get sick. Then last Saturday I met my Aunt Jeanine, Angie, Bovine, Leah, and Jake's girlfriend (my memory isn't all that great yet) I think I did good to remember all these new people. Aunt Jeanine and Angie brought me a basket FULL of food and juice. I sure can't wait til I can dig in. Sunday me and mom spent the morning at Granny and Harold's then we went to Aunt Sharon's to look through some Christmas stuff. When we got home me and mom sat on the front porch. She sat in her rocking chair and I got to sit in my swing outside. Man I love it outside. Mom and Dad pulled me around the yard in my wagon the other day too. I loved that. Sunday night the Hall's came to see me. I slept the whole time they were here. That's ok I heard mommy say we were going to a baby shower this Saturday so I have another chance to see them. They are expecting a little boy in January, and I'm sure he and I will be great friends one day.
Monday mommy had another Dr. appointment. Thank goodness this was her last one. She is so happy she doesn't have to go back anymore. Her Dr. said she had to watch her blood pressure and if it goes up she will have to go back, but hopefully that won't happen. After we left the Dr.'s office we went to Babies R Us. I've never been in a big store like that. Mom and Dad bought a few toys...not sure who those were for, then they bought some gross formula. Then mommy wanted to get something to eat. Mommy and Daddy had agreed that they wouldn't take me to a restuarant until I was old enough to eat but they splurged today and took me into Cracker Barrel. Granny met us out there and they all had lunch. I knew I was some place different so I cried so they would take me out of the car seat. When we started to leave Granny bought me a Thanksgiving plate...but I won't be able to use it until next year. Then mommy and daddy actually let me go home with Granny. They went shopping for a few things then they came and got me. Tuesday Aunt Sharon came to see me, and so did Betty, Thomas, Dawn, and Leigh. More new faces makes me happy. Wednesday me and mom stayed at Granny and Harold's most the day. Daddy isn't feeling to well so me and mom have been letting him sleep. I don't know why him and mom like to sleep. I don't like it at all. In fact if I'm gonna sleep I want to do it during the day. Then today has been exciting too. We went to Granny and Harold's again this morning. I like to sleep over there and mom actually got in a nap today too. Then we came home and got daddy. He took us to the bank, then to the water department to pay a bill. When we came home mom fed me then we picked Granny up and went to the nursing home to see Maw-maw. Everyone there makes a fuss over me. Now we are back home and dad is watching a movie. We are trying to get ready for bed. I might sleep some tonight, but probably not much. Well sorry it took me so long to write this time. Maybe I can keep up now. Well it's bed time for now so night night.

To Busy to Blog

I've been a very busy baby lately. Yesterday I didn't blog because I had so much to do. Let's see yesterday I had a doctor appointment. I went to see Dr. Whipple again for my 1 month check-up. I have gained up to 10 lbs. and 7 oz. I am 21 inches long. And I'm healthy. Oh and I'm the cutest baby ever...apparently :) I have to go back to the doctor in December and I'll start getting shots at that appointment. I'm not looking forward to that and neither is mommy. After the doctor appointment we came home and mommy and daddy had lunch. After lunch me and mommy went to Granny and Harold's and spent the afternoon so daddy could have a little time to his self. Mommy put me in my stroller and pushed me around the front yard, and I sure did enjoy looking at the bright light and all the things around me. Then mommy and I went back home and picked Daddy up and we went to visit Mr. Steve and Mrs. Patsy. When we got there Mr. Steve had taken Austin hunting so we only got to visit with Mrs. Patsy. She held me the whole time and you know I love to be held. They even have two dogs and they barked at me the whole time, but I just slept, they didn't bother me. We stayed there for about an hour then we went home and daddy started dinner. He fried a chicken in his new fryer. Mommy made some sides and they had dinner. After dinner daddy and I decided to give mommy a little time to herself. We went in their room and watched Christmas shows while mommy took a bath and who knows what else. I tried to get her to blog for me last night but apparently she found something better to do. Oh well us guys had a great time watching TV.
Today mommy and I got up and decided to let daddy sleep in so we went to Granny's to spend the morning since Harold isn't home. We didn't want Granny to get lonely, and honestly who can be lonely when a baby is around? We stayed with her until 2 today then we came home and got daddy and he took us to Subway to get lunch. We got Granny and Robert a sandwich too, then we went back to Granny's so they could eat. When we left Granny's we came home and mommy cleaned the kitchen. Me and Daddy have watched some fighting on TV tonight then mommy and daddy ate dinner. Daddy and me played while mommy took her bath and now daddy is downstairs in the movie room watching a movie while me and mommy hang out. We've got a busy weekend...Aunt Jeanine and Angie are coming Saturday and The Hall's are coming Sunday so I guess I need to go and get some rest before this crazy weekend.
Oh and I guess I should explain the picture...I HATE MY CAR SEAT!!! It's a wonder we ever leave the house because I cry the moment they put me in it. Night night.

New Day...New Faces

This picture really doesn't have anything to do with today...just thought it was funny. It's me before mommy and daddy gave me a bath. Let's just say I put up a fight (see I even have my fists clinched.) Although I have found that I like it when they use the sprayer that come with my bath tub. It's still not my favorite part of the day but it's getting better.
So last night I sleep really good. I know my Great Aunt Jeanine is coming this weekend, and last week she told me I had to start sleeping better so I don't want her to be mad the first time she sees me so I've been trying to sleep more for mommy and daddy. Last night I even managed to stay asleep 4 hours!
Anyway I woke up this morning and had breakfast, went back to sleep and then woke up around 11:30. I had my lunch then mommy and daddy dressed me and took me to Granny's so they could run a few errands. Mommy and Daddy take me there so I don't get this flu everyone is talking about. Then when they got back...mommy dropped daddy off at home and even though she's still not supposed to be driving she drove to Granny's all by herself! We stayed at Granny's the rest of the afternoon. When we went back home there was a note on the door that said Mr. Ray and Mrs. Peggy Sue had come to see us. Mommy was pretty upset that we missed some visitors. We love having people visit. So when we got inside mommy fed me then she called them to see if they were home. They were and said they would love it if we could visit. So mommy and daddy loaded me up in the car and we went and saw someone new. Of course Mrs. Peggy Sue wanted to hold me. And I love being held :) I spit-up on her twice but she didn't even seem to mind. She stayed almost an hour then we headed back home. I'm so glad I got to see new faces today, even though I slept most of the time.
Once we got back home mommy fed me and daddy changed my diaper. I felt like a new baby :) Since then I've just been relaxing, laying on the couch with daddy, then swinging in my little swing. Being a baby is hard work, but it's worth it. Well I have a doctor appointment early in the morning so I better get to bed. Night night

I've Been Busy

So I haven't blogged since Thursday. I can catch you up now...Friday we hung out around the house most of the day. Then mommy and daddy decided they needed to go buy groceries, so they dropped me off with Granny and Harold. It took them a little longer than they expected and Granny had to give me a bottle of yucky old formula. I slurped it down but I paid for it later that night. When mommy and daddy got back they took me home and we went downstairs to watch a movie in daddy's movie room. I did really good for a little while. I got to swing while mommy and daddy ate their sandwiches, then I got a little fussy so mommy decided to hold me, well I was only fussy because I don't like formula and my tummy was tore up. I threw up everywhere. Mommy and Daddy had to change my clothes three times and mommy had to change pajamas twice. Every time I ate for the next day or so I would spit-up. I DO NOT LIKE FORMULA. I didn't sleep much Friday night, but by Saturday other than still trying to get that formula out of my system I was feeling much better.

Saturday was Halloween. My mommy put on my skeleton outfit soon as I got up. Daddy found another box of Halloween decorations so he got those out and finished decorating while me and mommy took it easy. Mommy did eventually get up and make cupcakes for the trick-or-treaters. Aunt Sharon came to visit too. She held me and talked to me. Of course I slept the whole time. I love to sleep when people hold me :) She stayed with me and mommy while daddy ran to the drugstore to pick up a few last minute items. After she left mommy put my real Halloween costume on. I liked being a ghost, I stayed nice and warm all night. After I was dressed and laid back in my bed mommy and daddy got dressed. They were both pirates. They weren't scary at all. Aunt Sue, Jeri, and Will stopped by before going to the church for the Fall Festival, and so did Shane and Christine. Everyone talked about how cute I was...please tell me something I don't know :) Then Aunt Shellie, Tyler, and Devin came over. Aunt Shellie held me and talked to me. Devin got some candy and ate a cupcake. They stayed with us for a little while. We didn't have any other trick-or-treaters. Mommy and Daddy were very disappointed. Mommy worked really hard to make little goodies for the kids and no one else ever showed up. Still not really sure about this Halloween thing, but Mommy and Daddy swear next year will be better...and they are already thinking of what we can all dress up as.

Well today is Sunday and I love Sundays. It means spending time with family and hoping for visitors. Mommy and Daddy got up and cleaned the house then me and mommy went to Granny's for a little while. When we got back we hung out with daddy and played. Then Grandpa Larry called and said they wanted to come see me. Mommy got excited because she loves to have company. When Grandpa Larry and Grandma Becky got here they had me a gift. I got three sets of books. I love books! Mommy and Daddy have been reading to me ever since I was in mommy's belly. They visited with us for a little while and as usual Grandpa took tons of pictures. Since the time fell back last night they didn't stay long because it was getting dark. When they left Daddy ran to the grocery store and me and mommy stayed home and played. When daddy got back they started making dinner. They had homemade burgers, baked beans, and two homemade hash brown casseroles! After dinner they gave me a bath...well a shower. My bathtub Granny and Harold bought me came with a hand-held shower too. I actually liked the water being sprayed on me. After my bath, mommy wanted to take one too, so me and daddy gave her a little time to herself to get her bath. While mommy was getting her bath, Daddy introduced me to Christmas music and boy do I like it! We listened to it for a long time. Now I can't wait for Christmas! After mommy got out of the tub, she and daddy read me one of my new books. Now I'm just relaxing and getting ready for bed. I have been sleeping really good lately. Well I'm gonna go get ready for bed. Night night. Oh and only 5 days til I get to meet my Favorite Great Aunt!
