New Skills

My baby has mastered some new skills! First, he can now roll over from his back to tummy and he is so proud of himself! Every time he does it he looks up with this huge grin on his face. He's been able to roll over from tummy to back for a while and he LOVES doing that at night when he's supposed to be sleeping. So I'm sure he'll be rolling all over his crib now! Second, sucking his thumb. I'm not sure what to think about this one. At first I thought it was the cutest thing I've ever seen and since he never took a paci I was a little surprised by it. But then I got to thinking, and what happens when he's five and still sucking his thumb??? How do you stop it? You can't take their thumb away like you can their paci. Oh well, it's still cute! Third, he grabbed the dog! Adam and I have been waiting on this one. We have a teacup chihuahua and he's always staring at her and laughing. Today while he was playing on the floor he reached over and grabbed her neck with both hands. It was pretty funny. She didn't mind it though. She just stood there and licked him. She's such a sweet doggie and she LOVES the baby. When he was first born, she would sit next to him all the time. She wouldn't let him out of her sight.

Also, we went to the park today with some new friends from church, Stacy and her baby. Her sweet baby is about 2 weeks older than mine. He's a little cutie! We had a great time. I'm really enjoying our church and the new friends we are making! Tomorrow night they are having a crawfish boil! We are looking forward to this. Especially Adam, he loves crawfish.

Here's a picture of the baby and Juicy (the dog) at my parent's house last weekend. You can see how he wants to grab her!

Love It!

YAY! So what do y'all think of my new layout?! It's not completely done yet, but I love it! Thanks Leslie!!! You can get her to do one for you too! Here's her page: http://leslielambert.blogspot.com/

Missing Everybody Already!

So we ended up going to Tuscaloosa this past weekend. We left at about 6:30 pm. That's really late for a six hour drive with a five month old baby and a dog! The ride went good but when we got there (at 1:00 am) the baby had a major break down! He screamed until three am!!! Needless to say, we will NEVER do that again! Then, of course, he was wide awake at seven the next morning. So I go no sleep that night. It was ok though because all we did Saturday was lay around and relax (much needed). That night we went out to eat at Chuck's downtown. It was really good. Then we rode around and showed Adam the town. He's been to Tuscaloosa before, but we've never really showed him around. Then Sunday we went to church, it was AWESOME to see my old church family. I miss them! Then my best friend, Melissa, and her one year old daughter came over. My baby would not stop staring at her little girl! We already have their wedding planned! They'll be trouble, that's for sure! We got back home yesterday around seven pm. We had a wonderful trip, I'm ready to go back! It makes me sad that my baby doesn't live close to my parents. They love him so much and I want him to grow up being close to them. They are amazing Grandparents! I knew they would be. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.....


Boo boo staring at his girlfriend!

Bummer

Ok, so we are not leaving for Tuscaloosa today :(. That makes me sad. Adam has had all kinds of stuff going on at work and he can't just pick up and leave in the middle of all of it. So maybe we can go tomorrow. It all depends on if they get everything done by tomorrow around noon. Lets pray they do!!! I need a mini getaway and I was so looking forward to it.

Another thing, I've been getting these horrible headaches everyday! I can't get rid of them. Any suggestions? I need help!!! It's so annoying!

By the way, look what I stumbled across. A pregger pic! That was just a couple of weeks before boo boo was born! That kind of makes me want another one :)............

Real Boys Wear Pink???

Let me just start by saying that I have NEVER done this before!!! I'm sure you can already tell where this post is going! The other day I was washing boo boo's clothes (like I do everyday of my life, haha) and when I got them out of the dryer........everything was PINK! Oh no! That would be ok if I had a little girl, but I don't! I don't think his daddy would be very happy with me if he started wearing pink onsies! The worst part about it is that my mother-in-law gave boo boo these wonderful monogrammed burp cloths that are my fav and they were in that load. UGH! As I took the clothes out of the dryer I saw the culprit...this red shirt that my mom's friend had given him. The shirt was her son's and looked like it had been washed plenty of times so even if I would have seen it I still would have put it in that load. I always wash all his stuff on cold so this kind of stuff doesn't happen. Anyway (I can't believe I've gone on this long about this subject!) I'm taking them to Tuscaloosa with us this weekend and letting my mom work on them. Hopefully she'll get them back to normal!

I'm SUPER excited about seeing my parents and best friend!! I can't wait for tomorrow. Hopefully boo boo will do ok on the 6 hour drive over.

That's What I Love About Sundays

Lately it seems like Sundays can't come soon enough. By the end of the week I'm really needing an uplifting sermon and powerful songs. This Sunday's sermon was just what the doctor ordered after one of the longest and hardest weeks of my life. Like I said before, I can't really get into on here so y'all will just have to wonder....for now anyway. Lets just say that after a lot of prayer I felt led to write someone about something that has been on my heart for some time now...only to have it blow up (BIG TIME) in my face! It's been really hard for me to accept this because I felt like God was telling me to do this. After yesterday I got to thinking, and maybe I haven't seen the bigger picture yet. God is always at work around us and has a plan! I'm now trusting that I haven't seen the end result of this yet and that God is still working on this problem. It's truly awesome the peace that comes from trusting the Lord. All that worrying I did last week was in vain. All I needed to do was turn it over to God! What a relief!


Also, we are really needing a mini vaca! Maybe we'll be going to Tuscaloosa this weekend. We'll see!

Crawfish, New Friends, and A Nice Surprise

I've been a little busy and haven't had time to write about anything. But Adam had to go into work this morning (boo) so I have a little time. It seems I always start getting busy on Thursdays. I'm not complaining though, I like to be busy. Anyway, Thursday I went out to Adam's parents house to drop the baby off so they could watch him while we went and ate with some new friends from church. We had a great time. We ate crawfish and me and Melissa played with their son while Adam and Paul talked. We stayed until 10:00 that evening. When we got in the car and I saw that it was 10, I panicked a little because the last time we left the baby that late he had a MAJOR meltdown! So we rushed over there only to find them all piled up in the bed talking and laughing! He had a BLAST! Him and his Uncle Gabe (7 yrs old) played all evening. It was 10:30 by the time we got there and he was still awake! He never stays up that late. As soon as we pulled out of their driveway he was asleep. Gabe came home with us and spent the night. So all day Friday me and him played Wii and watched movies while the baby slept. And I mean he slept ALL day! Poor thing was pooped! I know he had fun. And now the next time we leave him maybe I won't be in such a panic to go and get him. So it turned out great. We really enjoyed ourselves with some new friends and boo boo had fun too!

Did I mention it was my first time to eat crawfish??? I've always been a little creeped out by the whole idea of eating something that's staring at you, but it was REALLY good! I will definitely eat some again. Thanks Melissa and Paul we really enjoyed it!
