10 months old!!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been a good while since I've updated the blog. We have had some fun couple of weeks. Today 11-25-07 Truett turned 10 months and it has been a roller coaster of a time!

We enjoyed Truett's 1st Thanksgiving with our family. We had a blast, he was a hit with all family members. We hope Aunt Becca and Uncle Scott get the baby fever real soon, so next year we will have another playmate! Cousin Daniel and his wife Kristy should also get bitten since they will welcome their first niece soon (Billy and Nancy are expecting Jordan in January). I am so glad there are more family members in Wayne's family that are of "that" age, so we don't get the dreaded "when is your next one" question! We want to enjoy Truett and hope to add another blessing to our family in a few years. We hope they are space out a little but would welcome another when it is in God's timing! If we never have another child it would also be o.k. with us. We are so content right now with our trio, I can't imagine adding another right now.

We are counting down the days until Christmas, we have made a wish list for Truett on Target so we can mark off the toys as we buy them! It is a mixture of Christmas items and birthday toys. Since, his birthday is exactly one month away from Christmas we thought we could stock up on the pre- and post- Christmas sales.

We had some professional pictures done a month ago and they are up on this link: http://kellymoorephotography.morephotos.com/mp_client/pictures_welcome.asp?categories=no&keywords2=no&eventid=14804
let me know if you can not get it. We love them and only wish we could afford to do this many times a year!

Truett is crawling faster than I can walk and loves to walk (although he hasn't taken his "first step"). He is so stable and sure of himself I feel like it's a matter of days before this will become his new trade. He has been jabbering away and has managed to say dadda and "uh-oh" (if you consider that a word). He also says "Larrrraay", we found this out on Thanksgiving day. Mamaw Kim was yelling at one end of the house for Papaw Larry to come help her, Truett and Wayne were in the living room and Truett yelled it right back at her as plain as I could say it!! Now it is "the" rage! He mimics almost every word that you enunciate and over pronounce! He does not say MOMMA!!! To my dismay he can not, or should I say will not. He only smiles at me as if to say "You know who you are"! I don't mind as long as he continues in his rapid development of speech, he also says -ight for light! He weighs 23lbs. and is 31'' long. He has slowed down a good bit on how fast he grows, this is fine by me. I thought I was going to tote around a 4 ft. 1 year old there for a while!

Well, enough babbling for now. I hope to put some recent pics up tomorrow or Tuesday.

Some professional pictures!

Sorry I haven't updated recently, I have no excuse except to say I'm busy!! We had some family pics taken. Anne came over 2 weeks ago and we took some pics of Truett in his Halloween costume and around the house and park. We had a good time and Anne was so sweet. She is so very talented. We got a few pics back and love them. As soon as I get more I'll post the website info and you can check out all of the pictures.

Let me see..... since I last posted Nicole (my oldest sister) and her little girl (Kerigan) came to visit. We had a good time and Kerigan is sooo pretty! Truett's first Halloween was fun, we visited with Aunt CoCo (Nicole), Kerigan, Nana, Papa, Jeremiah, and Jacob. We left there and visited with MawMaw and PawPaw. Truett licked on a "dumdum" sucker and got a bag full of goodies!

We are looking forward to his 1st Thanksgiving and Christmas!! I'm already looking for stocking stuffers!

I'll post more soon.
