Bam's 1st Birthday!!

Yesterday, December 5th was Bam's 1st birthday! Hooray! We had a great day celebrating his special day.

After nap, we went to Christmas on Green Street and enjoyed a parade! The best part was Santa on a fire truck! Talk about an amazing combination! It was FREEZING! But, Mommy bundled us up and off we went!

Here comes Santa!


Wow!!


Ok, so I was a bit more impressed than Bammer.

Bundled up boys!

This is awesome!


Once we got home, it was time to celebrate Bam's birthday! After a nice dinner of chili and mashed potatoes (I can't believe you ate that Bam), it was time to enjoy a cupcake. It was Graham's first cupcake ever. We are pretty sure he enjoyed it.

Birthday dinner for the happy big boy...

Yay for me!


Oh my, this is good...


I enjoyed one, too. I have my style...


Bam has his...

This is the best birthday EVER!!!


What do you mean that's all????



An attempt to clean up Bam...


Here is a quick glimpse of cupcake time. To each his own... Such a great birthday! We love you Bammer!!

Thankful

First and foremost...

We want to say that we are thankful that our new cousin, Grayson, has arrived!!! We are so glad you are here safe and sound. You are such a precious little fella, and we can't wait to grow up and play with you! Hooray for our first cousin!!!


Thanksgiving was last week. Sadly, yucky sickness fell upon our home. Sooo, we had to go to Plan B and spend some quality time at home on Turkey Day. We were all pretty disappointed, but we tried to make the most of the time together.

We got a little stir crazy all cooped up and tried to get out of the house for a bit. Bam and I love to play together!

I'll push you, buddy. Wait for me!!!

Mommy made a big turkey dinner with all of the fixings for the family. I'm sure they enjoyed it...
I, however, stuck to the basics: Cheerios, mandarin oranges and gummies. Starting new traditions every day...

Bam liked the green beans.

Daddy liked it all!

The next day, we decided to go ahead and put up our Christmas tree and decorations. I was a big help. Mommy said that I looked and acted so much like Daddy hanging the ornaments. Very precisely and patiently...


Bam wasn't sure what to think at first. But, trust me, he's gotten very comfortable with the tree now. I think he thinks his name is, 'No, no Bammer'. Poor guy.

That's the perfect spot.


Even though our plans changed and we missed our family on this special holiday, we are certainly thankful for so many things: mostly the love we have for each other. We are so blessed. Happy Thanksgiving!

A Little Song for Bammer

Finally Figured It Out!

Not to be Upstaged

Just Lovin July!

July was a fun month! We have been in summer mode for sure. Lots of fun in the sun, and water! Graham and I have both been growing and getting to be big boys. Graham is sitting up and babbling all of the time. Mommy says that I talk from the moment I open my eyes, until I close them at night. But, she says I have lots of sweet and interesting things to say. Overall, each and every day bring new adventures and amazing moments together!

Some water fun with Mamaw and Pawpaw...


Mamaw and I love to read together...


Splish splash!

Bam is not impressed :)


What do you think Mamaw? Should we go for it?

Here we gooooo!


Awesome!

Watch out! Feeling a little mischievous...


Holy cow!

Taking a moment to reflect on the great day...
Some family time at home...

Yes, Mommy has a new look. Different, but a fun change!


Bath buds!

Need to wash that face still...


Say what?

Sweet!
Kisses for Momma...
Never to big for a little lovin...

More kisses from Bammer...Such a lover!

Mommy's little men...

Such a ham...

Love my Dad...
Bam is my 'best brother'...

Nothing like being together...

Summer Days

This update is long overdue!! Sorry! We have been so busy having fun this summer, we've had little time to 'blog'.

Things are great! 'Bam' and I are wonderful and growing like wild! (For those of you who may not know, 'Bam' is my brother Graham. Although, his real name is seldom used by anyone these days.) Mommy and Daddy can hardly believe how big we are getting. We have become best buds. I can honestly say that there is no one I'd rather be with than my 'Bammer'.

I'm loving school and talking up a storm! I've made the permanent move to the 'big boy bed', and am closing in on potty training (thanks Primrose!). Bam is almost totally independent sitting up, loves to eat, and is ready for his first teeth any day now.

Mommy and Daddy can hardly believe it's been almost a year since the practice opened. They feel so blessed to have had such a positive year. Now, if we could only find the right house and get to Gainesville! All in good time...

All in all, it has been a great summer so far! Here are a few shots from our fun times...

Such a model!
Sweet sleepy boy...


Lovin' on Ma-maw...


Best buds...

I love you Bam!

Life is good

Oh my, those eyes!
Love you, Dad.
One cool dude...

Yay! Graham is a sitter!


Wait a minute, I'm doing it all by myself?
