17 Months and Walking

This blog post is ALMOST a month late but better late than never, he started walking right after he turned 17 months and he has not stopped ( he is practically running now). He weighs 24 lbs. 5 ozs. Jack and I are still so proud of this wonderful gift from God he is such a joy and makes us laugh everyday. He is not really trying to talk that much but he sure knows what he wants like he will walk to his bathroom when its time for his bath, he goes to the garage when we ask him if he wants to go bye bye, he know were to look for his snacks & juice and what snack to point to (that he wants at that time).
Mommy & Daddy love you and can't believe that you are almost 1 1/2

16 Months

*Most of this info is just so that I can remember this to tell Alan one day, so sorry if this post is boring to some of you (I know the grandparents will read all of it, ha ha)

Our baby is now 16 months old and I absolutely cannot believe how fast he is growing. At his doctors visit he was 23 lbs. 15 oz. & 31 1/2 in. long.

He is crawling all over the place.

He has one tooth and is cutting at least one more (that we can see).

He is taking lots of steps, and should be walking very soon.

He is saying a few things like mama, dada, book (in his version), um (like he is thinking).

He waves hi, bye, throws his hands up in the air (when we say touchdown Auburn), claps for himself when he does something good, smiles when I turn on his kid music in the car, he will pat his hand on his leg to the beat of the music (it cracks us up), he will crawl to the pantry and cry if he is hungry or the fridge if he is thirsty, he LOVES the water (swimming & bath's), if something taste good he smacks his lips.

He loves his ball, train, & car


One of his favorite places - the pool

"Hey Mom"

"Granpa's Lil' Helper

This poor little guy has also been under the weather lately, he has had a sinus infection and an ear infection and the antibiotic has done a number on his tummy. In addition to all of this he is teething so he has had a fever some days too, bless his heart when he sees me coming with a syringe full of medicine now he just opens his little mouth. I really hope that will start seeing the light at the end of this tunnel soon.

In less than a month our little guy will be starting a preschool. It is going to be two days a week for a few hours, and I am very excited for him to go and hopefully learn lots of things and meet some friends and at the same time I am little nervous because it will be the first time I have really ever left him, but I know this will be so good for him (and Mommy too).

The Lake - 2010

We met Jack's whole family at Smith Lake for the 4th of July (it is becoming a tradition) at his Sister & Brother-in-Law's house on the lake and stayed about 3 days and we had so much fun with everyone. There are 15 of us in all and it is always so much fun to see everybody since we dont get to see each other very often. Once again the company was great, the food was delicious and we made memories that we will always remember. I did not take as many pictures this year as I did last year but I did take a few...

My Mom was invited to join in on the fun

yes Alan has on a pink life jacket but it was the only one we could get him to wear, so it was that or no swimming for him, I personally think he just wanted to show everyone that real men wear pink

Our niece & nephew caught a BIG catfish
we have our own family name for this fish "old blue"

Thanks Again Aunt Tammy & Uncle Ronnie

Update

I am so sorry for not posting in a while. We have been so busy, first we were out of town, and then our poor OLD computer got a virus and we THINK it is fixed. So I am going to try to catch you up. Alan has turned 16 months old and is growing so much (I will do another post about that), and as I said we went out to lake for the 4th with the WHOLE Anglea family and had a blast. We have been staying so busy, going swimming (almost everyday), going to eat with the lunch bunch and spending lots of time with Aunt Juicy since she has lots of free time this summer.

Father's Day

I am a little late with this post, but better late than never we did celebrate it on the day at our house. I want to say first that we all are so thankful for our heavenly father and all that he blessses us with each and everyday. Next I want to say how grateful I am (and Alan too) for my wonderful husband, he is a great father to our son and provider for our family and we appreciate everything that he does. Jack, Alan and I also want to say Happy Father's Day to our Father's/Granddaddy's.
Also Happy Father's Day to all of the other special Dad's & Men in our lives!!!
We spent part of the weekend with my parents, they came to visit us and it was very special to get to be with my Dad, then Sunday the three of us went to church. Jack got a new saw that he wanted for Father's Day

Beach 2010

Alan's first beach trip - 2010

We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Destin and it was Alan's first trip to the beach and he loved it!!! He loved the sand and the ocean. The weather was beautiful and we did not see any signs of oil the whole time.

I like this pool, I can touch the bottom

Lucy's Baby Shower

I have been a bad blogger lately but Alan and I have been on the go. About a month ago I helped host a baby shower for a friend of mine that is originally from the same hometown as me (Decatur, AL) but she lives in Tampa, FL now and we all had the best time getting together and she got some precious things for her little girl that should be arriving in early September!!!
Congrats Lucy & JD!!!
