Busy Bee

Whew, have we been busy this past week and a half! Let's see if I can remember everything. Friday night we had dinner with Miss Kristi and Miss Carrie and Chase. Then Saturday we went to Abigail's first birthday party! Can you believe she's already one!!?! And you're next! You had a good time playing in her playroom with all of her thousands of toys! We took the cutest picture of you guys...

... and then about 2 seconds later, you took a nose dive into the ground! That was not fun! Looking at the picture now, it doesn't seem nearly as far as it is in the replays in my head!

Then this past week you had zoo day at school. The Nashville Zoo brought a few animals to daycare and showed them to the kids. I came to watch your reaction to the animals, but you really could have cared less! (And I don't blame you - there are WAY more interesting animals to see than a turtle and a possum! I'll show you a possum on the side of the road next time we're out!).

Your Emme and Papa came up to watch you on Wednesday, so your dad and I could go see a play. That was a real treat for us! Then on Thursday we drove to Little Rock for the weekend. You got to see lots of family - TJ, Kevin, Sarah, your Granddad, Meemo and Beepo.

I just can't get over at the new tricks your learning every day. You started clapping, you're standing up by yourself for longs period of time and sometimes you wave. It just seems like all of a sudden you picked these things up. What's next - algebra!?!?

That's all for the update right now. You're sleeping and I need to get some things done. I hope you have a good night's sleep (and by you, I really mean you AND me!). I love you!! Kiss Kiss from Mommy!

Well, we've had a good weekend and week. Friday night you played with KK and Granddaddy while Mommy got some girl time! You shopped with me and the girls almost all day Saturday and you were such a trooper! They were so impressed how you were so good and didn't fuss at all. Thanks for being so precious!!! Then Saturday night you and Daddy hung out while the girls went to a concert. You guys watched the Titans and you looked SOOO adorable in your matching shirts!!

We keep adding food to your growing diet! This week we tried some okra! I realized afterward that I probably should have put some water in with it when I pureed it. You weren't quite sure what to do with it because it was so thick. Check out the video and you'll see what I mean! I'm not sure if you really liked it or not, but we'll try it again to make sure. I know that when you're old enough to eat it fried, you're going to LOVE it!

Then Sunday night we went to our last Carnton concert. It was absolutely packed! The weather was perfect, so I guess everyone had the same idea that we did! You did so good hanging out and playing. It was kind of hectic so you didn't really play a lot with Abigail or Ellie. But you'll have plenty of time to do that this weekend at Abigail's 1st birthday party! Can you believe it, she's already one. And then you'll be next! I've already started working on it - I can't wait!!!

You had your 9-month pictures taken this week (yes, we're a month behind, but that's OK). You were in a great mood and they got some really good pictures. I can't wait to get those back! This weekend is Labor Day weekend so we have 3 days together - I can't wait!! We're going to have dinner with Kristi on Friday night and then it's Abigail's party on Saturday!! Then next week your Emme and Papa are coming in town for one night and then we're all going to Little Rock! It's gonna be busy - but lots of fun! I'll tell you all about it next week! I love you lots!! Kiss Kiss from Mommy!
