Georgia On My Mind

This past weekend we made a trip to Atlanta to visit everyone. It was a really fun time! The ride over was interesting...pretty crowded. Daddy said that Mommy and I had way too much stuff! I only cried a little toward the very end. But, when I got too fussy, Daddy would roll down my window and Hud would lean over me for fresh air. I loved that! I found it entertaining for at least 5 minutes or so!

While we were in town, we got to do lots of things. Friday night was all about me, Ga'ma and Granpa. Mommy and Daddy went out by themselves (I can't imagine it was much fun without me). But, this gave me some time to catch up with my loved ones! Saturday, Daddy got to play golf with his good buddies. So, I went with Mommy to a baby shower. I was on my best behavior so that I wouldn't scare the Mommy-to-be too much!

We had a cook out on Saturday night. I got to visit with Uncle Jeff, Aunt Amy, the Thompsons, and another Fleming family! Cousins Amy and Julia helped to take good care of me.

Of all this running around, mornings on the porch with my family and Hud were my most favorite times!

Sunday was a great day. I got to visit with Poppy, Grandmommy and Aunt Carly. They all loved playing with me and spoiling me rotten!

We went to the lake to see the water. (Mommy was so upset that she forgot her camera). At first, I saw some animals that I thought were just funny looking dogs like Hud, but Mommy told me they were ducks. So much to learn and so many discoveries to make... What an amazing world God has created!!

Happy Mother's Day Mommy!

Sunday was Mother's Day, and we had a great time!

Daddy and I let Mommy sleep a little bit in the morning. When she woke up, we gave her yellow tulips (so pretty) and a gift card to a store that she really likes. Then we took her out to breakfast. Since it was Mother's Day, I let Mommy hold me the entire time...even while she ate. I knew she would enjoy the extra time together.

Then, we headed to Mimi's house for lunch with the family. Not only did I visit with my Grandparents, but I also got to spend time with my uncles (Roper and Phil) and also my Great Granny and Grandpa Roper. We enjoyed our visit very much.

Mommy, Daddy and I headed home and had a little family time. It was such a pretty day that we took some toys in the yard and enjoyed the afternoon playing outside.

Hud was so glad to have some play mates on his turf! I can't wait to really play with him when I get bigger.

That evening, Mommy and Daddy's friends Jason and Joanna cooked dinner. Sean came over, too and brought his puppy. We had a great time...I hit the sack early in the guest bedroom. I can sleep anywhere as long as I have my sound machine.

Mommy said that it was the perfect first Mother's Day!

Changing by the Day

It has been too long since we've had a chance to update y'all! So sorry! Mommy hasn't had much extra time with returning to work. But, things have been going well. I really miss Mommy while she is away, but I have had such a wonderful time playing with all of my grandmothers! I've had time with Mimi, Ga'ma and Grandmommy. They are all so very different. But, they do have one thing in common...they think that I hung the moon!!

Hanging out with Gran'pa was pretty great, too. He is a really cool dude.

Having everyone to play with all day has really made the adjustment of missing Mommy much smoother.

When she is home, all we do is play and cuddle.

Hud and I play a lot, too.

We've been very busy lately! With all of the company we've had, there has been very little down time. But, I am handling it like a pro. I'm rolling over all of the time now (sometimes it disturbs my slumber, but I just holler out and Mommy or Daddy comes and rolls me back over...I'm a little like a turtle now; once I'm on my back, there is no getting over...but give me time. I'll figure it out).

I'm learning to laugh out loud, too. Really, I just chuckle right now. But, when I do, it lights up the room. My laugh is really contagious.

Eating is still one of my favorite things to do. Although, I'd much prefer real food to a stinkin' bottle! I am eating sweet peas, squash, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, and pears. The only thing I don't like so far is bananas. Yuck! I pucker up and refuse to open my mouth the minute they come near. What do they think I am, a monkey or something?

I was baptized last Sunday. I wore the gown that Daddy wore when he was Christened. Mommy said it was a very special day.

ALL of my grandparents were there and took turns spoiling me.

My Aunt Melissa and Uncle David came and became my Godparents.

It was a day my parents will never forget.

Today, Mommy and I went to Demopolis with her cousin Dawn and her family to visit my other cousins and Nana. I was pretty good in the car (well, until the very end). But, Lily set a very good example the entire time.

I got to play with Gray, Nate, Lily and Mary Ella! We had so much fun!

I loved Aunt Beth and Nana, too!

All of Mommy's cousins are wonderful. They really made us feel at home. I hope we'll go back again soon!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day...Mommy's first. Daddy and I are planning to make the day really special. But, Mommy says that being with me is all that she needs.
