Hey everyone! It's been 7 months since Truett entered our lives, and things are now getting interesting! In the last month he has learned to crawl (better), chatter more (repeating sound or syllables I make), standing on his own for brief periods, standing on his own, and developing his own little will! He likes to "try" his momma and has had many squeezes to his hand and a few pops to his rear! I hate that part.

Our days are so busy and so fun. At the present time we spend our weekdays talking, talking, singing, talking, reading, talking, singing, reading, talking!! He will start singing if their is silence! He has become the reason I wake up and get things going so early, except for that other sweet reason (Wayne!). After getting daddy off for work we go workout (me, not Truett). There is a nice childcare facility where I go. We come home in time to read a story and put Truett down for his morning nap. The afternoon is usually spent working on "tummy time", standing, walking singing, reading, playing, and talking in Spanish. He takes a great afternoon nap and then daddy comes home and we are outside playing (it's been too hot to take him out midday) and going over to Meme's and Nana's.

Truett likes to mimic me when I say daddy he says dadada, not that he knows who that is but he still says it! He says ight when I say light, more like tttt, but hey I can exaggerate right?





I got my braces off on Monday of last week, it feels so nice. I had a couple of pieces of candy that night (that I couldn't have with braces) to commemorate the day!
Wayne and I are leaving a week from this Tuesday for our 5 year anniversary trip. I'm excited about Santa Fe. I've never been there and Wayne has only had a day trip there from a trip at Glorietta (years ago). I'm looking forward to everything we're going to do: horseback riding, hiking to the highest, Santa Fe, peak, spending an evening at the spa, strolling the plaza, and shopping. I'm a little nervous about leaving Truett, but I know he will be in good hands.

Wayne and I are looking forward to Halloween and Truett's costume, we're going to surprise Meme, Poppy, Nana, and Papa with it and will post plenty of pics. I'm looking forward to some cooler weather and the holidays that are lurking around the corner. I hope everyone is having a great Labor day weekend and BE SAFE! Stay in touch for more adventures of our little guy!

7 Months - STANDING!!!!!!

Yes, you heard it right, Truett started standing the other day (when we first noticed) at 7 months 2 days. The video was him at 7 months and 3 days. Enjoy.... I'll update more later.

Truett and his sweet life!

Truett is 29 weeks old today, he will be 7 months next Saturday. He is so big and often gets mistaken for an older baby. Usually someone will say "Is he 8 or 9 months old?" and one lady even thought he might have been 1 year old!! I think to myself is he really that big! I don't think so, I know he is big but not THAT big. He is roughly 19.5 lbs. and still 29.5 inches. He is between the 95th and 100th percentile for his height and between the 75th and 90th percentile for his weight. So, he is a biggen, but not monstrous.


Our lives have been so full. Truett is the highlight of our day and when we collapse at night we are so inspired to do it again the next day. He is in bed and asleep between 8:30-9 pm and wakes between 7:30-8 am. Sometimes I have to wake him up because it has been 12 hours. He also takes a two hour nap in the morning (from 10-12) and then again from 2-4 pm. He also takes a 45-1 hour cat nap after supper (from 6-6:45). He needs his sleep for the adventures of the day. He is on hands and knees and has scooted several times but not fully "crawling" as Wayne says so! He is babbling so much. We work on talking and singing constantly. He says "dadadada" mostly.

He is not really a momma's boy or a daddy's boy. He wants both of us all the time! He lights up when daddy gets home, he starts to squeal and about jumps out of my arms. Wayne can't even put this things down.




Wayne is working from Louisiana now. He works for an independent company here and travels around the state unless we have a hurricane and then we're off! We are actually hoping for one now. He usually gets Friday off because he works so hard during the week (45+ hours just Mon.- Thurs.). Hopefully we can do this a few more years.

I've just about put away all of "Truett's" weight! I go back to my OB/GYN on Tuesday next week and will find out the verdict of how much but all of my prepreg jeans fit. I feel like another 2 pounds will have me back at my "fighting" weight, which was 104. I'm not stuck on numbers but hope to be within a pound or two of that when all is said and done. I have worked my butt off to get back into those "skinny" jeans. I work out usually 5 days a week and have been on a low carb high protein meal plan. I have to say it is hard work but I love seeing results. Once I hit my target I will go back to working out 3-4 days a week and just watching what I eat.
