Zoo Baby!

Guess who loves the zoo?? You do my friend!! A couple of Fridays ago Mommy and her friend Jodi thought it would be fun to have a play date at the zoo! That's right not only did we go to the zoo but a play date too! Soooo big my love! So we met Miss Jodi and her two little ones, Jonas and Xander at our super cute Nashville zoo! Now Mommy was so excited about your first trip but didn't have too high of expectations of your level of participation or excitement since you are only nine months old, but you L-O-V-E-D it!! You just looked and looked at everything! Your favorite part was the indoor aquarium, which by the way Mommy has to hold you in because you can't take in your strollers, and let me tell you my friend you are heavy!! But it was worth the numbing pain in Mommy's arm to see your excitement! The bats were your favorite and you liked the fish too! After wandering around a bit Miss Jodi and her brood decided to leave for nap time so Mommy found us a nice shady bench to feed you lunch. Oh my goodness you had so much fun eating in your stroller! You attracted quite the crowd of admirers also! What a fun way to spend a Friday morning together my love! So Mommy decided that obviously you are a zoo baby so I told Daddy all about it and decided we needed a membership ASAP! Then on Sunday we went back to the zoo!! And guess who came with us?? Daddy!!! And we met up with Uncle Lee, Aunt Leigh, Ryan, Miss Stephanie and Ellie! Yay for zoo group outings!!! The only thing missing was Abby! But I have a feeling we will all be venturing to the zoo together this summer! This time around at the zoo you rode the carousel! Once again Mommy was a bit skeptical that you would enjoy it but you L-O-V-E-D it too! You had such fun showing Daddy all your favorite things, and listening to those noisy monkeys also! So much fun love, Mommy can't wait for more fun visits to the zoo!

Love my Daddy!

Well my love while I'm thrilled with this new development Mommy is a little sad that I have been replaced as your favorite person in the whole wide world, that's right my love it's all about Daddy right now! Oh my goodness how you love your Daddy!! From the moment you wake up you are ready to see Daddy! You get sooooo excited when you see him in Mommy and Daddy's bed in the morning (we are still continuing our morning ritual of snuggling and watching CNN)you go straight for Daddy! Daddy and you just talk and play until Daddy has to go to work, then you settle for Mommy until wait for it....Daddy comes home! I have never seen such a smile as you smile when you first see Daddy coming home, I mean we are talking arms waving, feet kicking laughing out loud kind of excitement! Even on the weekends you don't like to take a nap sometimes because you know your Daddy is home and you don't want to miss playing with him! It makes Mommy so happy how much you love your Daddy but today my love Mommy felt a little played! Let me just tell you that kind of mood you were in, one word my love: teething! That's right those silly old teeth are not treating you well and you have been a bit fussy all day today, in fact you threw a bit of a fit while Mommy was trying to lunch with a friend you even dumped Mommy's water all over her lap! Anyway Mommy has been trying to distract and keep you busy all day, even Mimi tried! So Mommy has been telling Daddy all day that you were not in the best of moods. Well low and behold guess who was Mr. Happy Pants when a certain person came home?? As soon as you saw your Daddy you were happy as a clam! Daddy even fed you dinner because you were fussy when Mommy tried (hurts my feelings a bit love I'll be honest but I'll get it over it!) Then it was bath time and guess who gave you a bath? Daddy!! Oh how you love your Daddy!! There is nothing that Mommy loves more than seeing her two favorite boys happy together!

They're Here!! and Other Happenings

Oh those elusive pearly whites have finally made their appearance!! That's right my love you are now the proud owner of TWO teeth! You have two perfect little bottom teeth, you look soooo big! You are currently working on the two top ones as well, pretty soon you will have a mouth full of teeth! Mommy just can't seem to get a good picture of them, I will keep trying!

We have had a busy couple of weeks! When we last left off, spring had sprung and we were gearing up for our first trip to the park. Well Mommy and Daddy took you to our little park down the street and had a grand old time, really anything that has to do with your Daddy you absolutely LOVE! Here you are playing at the park!





Meanwhile Mimi and Poppy decided to have an island getaway and left us for 9 whole days!!! It was the longest Mimi had ever gone without seeing you! Anyway Mimi and Poppy decided that next time they are gone that long they are taking Mommy and you with them! While Mimi and Poppy were living it up island style KK and Grandaddy came to visit! You had such fun showing them all your tricks! We had a very fun and busy couple of days shopping and showing you off all around town! KK and Grandaddy love hearing you talk and of course you love to do some talking so fun times all around!

After KK and Grandaddy headed home Mommy took you to your very first story time at the library!! It was soooo much fun! You had such a great time listening to the story and smiling at all the babies around you! Mommy was so proud of your listening ears and quiet voice in the library. We even sang songs together! Mommy can't wait until you are old enough for story time once a week at the library! Here we are at library! I think you are checking out another baby on the floor!




Everyday you are learning and exploring more, Mommy is just in awe of you baby boy!
