March...

March in pictures...

We spent several days in Oklahoma this month.  Mary took a bad fall so we wanted to get up and see her.  As always, it was so good to spend time with her.  Unfortunately we only got to spend a small amount of time with her because the plague hit our family.  Our second night there Graham woke up super sick and stayed sick for several days.  A trip to the ER for some fluids and a couple days of rest and he was back on his feet!  In the meantime, the kids and I spent time exploring Oklahoma City.  We visited some parks and the Science Museum, as well as spent lots of time with Mike and Jan.  I hated that Graham was sick, but was so thankful that Jan helped me with the kids so much!

 Getting all suited up to go see Nannie!

Shortly after coming home, Briana and her kiddos came to stay with us for a week!  As always, I loved our time together.  So thankful for friendships that are not affected by long distance!

We also spent lots of time at the ball park this month for T-Ball games.  Hampton and Watson were on the same team so Abby and Emma always had fun playing during the games :)

Cutest little T-ball player I ever did see!

Go Cardinals!!

Eleven months...

Sleeping: We are having more nights that you are sleeping through the night!  Let's keep that up sweet boy!

Eating:  Still loves food and loves to nurse. You are, however, nursing less than you used to.  I feel like you may be working your way towards weaning. You prefer table food over baby food - you really want to feed yourself and are working hard on using a spoon by yourself!

Diapers: size 4

Clothes: 18 months

 We spend as much time outside as we can - you love it!

We went to the park while in Oklahoma this month and even though it was FREEZING, you had a great time.  You loved having Watson push you in the swing.

You did all of this with a cereal bar.  Impressive, buddy.

Let's Play!  Love this designated area for babies.

Sometimes Mommy just has to get in the ball pit with you...

I am quickly learning that you are into EVERYTHING!  I went back to my bedroom, came back out to the den, and found this...

You officially hate your car seat - really hoping that is just a short phase we are going through!!

We went to the mountains in NC for a few days this month and you were such a trooper on our hikes!  You stayed happy in this carrier and even slept in it while on Daddy's back! 

You love your Mommy so much and I love you so much :)  You cry when I leave the room or if you look around and realize that I am not in your sight.

Peek a boo!

February...

Quick recap of our February...

I love this picture of Watson and Graham.  They have such a sweet and special relationship.

A rare family shot of all 5 of us!

Watson got an ant farm for Christmas from Poppa and was SO excited when his ants came in!  Unfortunately, these guys didn't last too long...apparently they were thirsty one day so this sweet boy poured some water in there.  Ants can't swim...  We ordered some more, though, so it will be back up and running in no time at all! 

Cousin time in the backyard

Baby dolls like bubbles too :)

Graham and I celebrated Valentines Day in a very romantic way this year..... at the gun range :)

Emma's class had a Valentines Day party

Emma is LOVING her first year of dance.  I can't wait for the recital!

This was sent home in Emma's school folder...clearly the girl loves some food! 

"Mommy!  Take our picture while we act like we are sleeping!"

Watson went to Atlanta with Mel and her family for one night to celebrate Hampton's birthday at LegoLand, so Emma and I had a girl day full of fun! 

This was the furthest Watson has ever gone without Graham or I - he did GREAT and had such a good time!! 

This is the funniest game - I wish I could get the videos to upload but seeing someone get smacked in the face with whipped cream just never gets old :)

On nights that Graham is out on patrol, Emma always comes in the nursery while I am putting Mason down.  She insists that she is not tired and cannot fall asleep in bed...she almost always falls asleep leaning on the ottoman though :)

Graham and I had a lunch in Atlanta for some Passion Conference things, so my dear college friend, Mollie Ann and her husband were amazing and kept all three of our kids so we could go to the meeting.  I love this picture of Anna Claire and Emma playing together and Watson and Mason in the background!

Family Library Time!  Graham is thrilled.
