Happy Fall days.... PART 2

Happy Fall days....

Our Halloween night was spent at our church's Fall Festival. Truett was a scarecrow, as you may remember he was one last year. Actually, the same one. I can't believe he still could fit into it. He was probably on the too big for it side, but come on it was hardly used last year!

Where has October gone?

Tomorrow will be November 1st!! Less than 4 weeks until Thanksgiving and less than 8 weeks until Christmas. Time is flying by, and I can't seem to slow down enough. I want Truett to enjoy so much so fast that I think I forget to enjoy it. We had a blast at our church's "Fall Festival". I see more and more of Truett's "self" seeping through. I know he is a fallen boy and he is by nature a sinner, but up until now it has been REALLY hidden behind his sweet exterior. Now he understands others get their way by whining, screaming, crying, so he is "trying" it out. He is progressing very well. Wayne and I aren't taking the bait. We have had some testing days but he's just continuing to try and see where our limits might be. I hope this is a natural progression of his new skills and character and finding where"THE" powers be! :) I know I'm probably like most parents with little boys, or maybe it's the parents with a first child (:P). I have lots of learning ahead of me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I remind myself at night, this is the only chance I have to influence my child(ren) for the Lord. I get one chance and I am so incapable. I pray God just works a miracle through Wayne and I because we have such a far way to go!

I said "Truett, put it on your lips." Somehow he came up with this!

Silly bears...

Stopping for one moment
O.k. maybe two!
Yea, daddy made it home!
Sexy, as always!

Arrrgggh!
The cutest hat ever!

Look really close at Truett's face, he wanted his dad's cellphone, and he wasn't getting it!

The love of my life.... on one of his many calls. We just stopped by to tell him "hello"!

Over it so fast

The next day Truett was ready to go, go, go, but he did throw up once more later that day. He loved writing on a dry erase board and himself of course.

"Hold it, Hold it, camera, mommy!" "I wan it, I wan it!" This starts way too soon!
Checking out his battle scars!

Visiting back home, Part 2

Truett got sick the following week after spending 4 straight days outside and getting into every pinestraw pile and picking up every pine cone we could find and throwing it. We then went to church that very morning and spent the whole morning enjoying others germs, that night Truett was sick! Who knows what causes it, but I do know he was exposed to plenty of allergens and germs that long weekend!

We ended up going to the pediatrician later that week, his cough was getting worse and worse. It has been 10 months since we were sick last. His last visit was December of last year! He did have bronchiolitis last October (one of the two viruses that causes bronchiolitis is RSV) so we didn't want to wait too long.

Truett watching "Big Comfy Couch" like a big boy. This has been the only show he will watch all the way through. I think it's because the show comes across like a play, at a slow and understandable (if that is a word) pace.
"Come on, Honey do!" Yes, he did say that! He is talking in sentences and not just 2 or 3 words anymore!
Odie wanted up too! Truett would love to get his hands on him, but that little kitty would swat at him.
"Hold you, mommy!" It's music to my ears

Too good to be true!

It's been 10 months since Truett has been to see the pediatrician and low and behold while we are away, Truett has his first stomach bug! He woke up that morning and seemed to be fine but while eating he laid his head on his hand and just sat there. He has done this before but usually during lunch or when he is tired. I dismissed it. When I got him out of his highchair he laid his head down on my shoulder, again not everyday but not way out in left field either. I said " you want to lay down on mommy and daddy's bed" and he did he laid there not making a sound... now this is out of the norm. I just laid there thinking, "man, he must of woke up in the night or something to be so tired". He looked at me and whined and then, to spare you the details he was sick. I felt so helpless and a little afraid. He seemed so pitiful and was looking to me for an answer. All I could muster up was "It's o.k. baby, mommy's here" over and over. It seemed to work, but then I wished my mom were there to tell me the same. The day was miserable and there would be little spurts of light and then times where I would just hold his little limp body and pray that God would hold me and this blessing he bestowed upon Wayne and myself.

Truett is such a champ and a wonderful patient, his wife will be so glad, one day! :P I took a few pictures after the gory morning and as bad as he felt he managed to smile for the first picture, a true model :)

You wouldn't know he was sick, except for as soon as I took this picture he had the most pitiful look on his face :(

He just laid there all day
Well we did make a bed for him in the middle of our living room!

He had a diaper on and this blanket, it was a sweet mommy moment! He just wanted to cuddle all day!!

Watching none other than "Lunette, Molly, Major Bedhead, Uncle Chester, Granny Garbanzo, and Snickle Fritz"

Swimming and Splashing

Truett loved going to the pool and although we didn't go that much we made a good time of it! Too bad he got a stomach virus the next day. More on that to come.

Daddy and Truett on the kiddie slide.
"A airpwane", that is what he said.
Truett loves to swing and makes his daddy do it often!
The splash area was precious.
He was on cloud 9

Visiting back home, Part 1

On one of our visits back home, I got to visit with my oldest sister, Nicole. She lives in Texas and we don't get to see each other as we would like. I took a few pictures of the kids.
Jeremiah is so funny and scary at the same time :)
Kerigan is the princess in our world!
Truett and Kerigan are only a month apart and they do love on another, yea right!!
