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.

Truett's 1st's!!!!!!!!!!

Truett will be 8 month and 2 weeks this Tuesday (the 9th of October). He is given us a couple of firsts this week. On Thursday, the 4th of October, we noticed his bottom two teeth. We haven't been checking them because they are never there (when we checked previously). So, we thought we'll notice them eventually. Well, over at "family" night with my family, my sister(Natalie) says "Oh, he has teeth?" I casually smirked "yea, they come and go" (meaning they seem like they are always going to come in and then disappear! She said "Uhhh, ok". Later I gave him a smidgen of my mashed potatoes and felt two lovely fixtures in his mouth!! Go Truett!! He has been hiding them :)


Today as DADDY was watching Truett I heard a bump and looked to find Truett mustering up the biggest cry I've heard from him. If you have met Truett you know he is not a "crier" (thank you Babywise) and a good " natured" baby, so to hear this cry brought tears to my eyes. Daddy picked him up and comforted him for a moment until I Truett reached over to me, I wanted to cry when I saw him! He had a bump on his left forehead and a cut under his left eye. He banged it pretty good. Bless his sweet heart! I had to (being the mean mommy) take pictures of it. So, some of the pics you see are from today (Oct. 7th).








We also took pictures of Truett in his Halloween costume on his 8 month birthday. He will be a scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. He has been standing so good and walking around the coffee table, I guess a bump and fall are to be expected but you never want to see it (or hear it) happen! I know all moms experience this.... thanks for letting me share!

More pics of Santa Fe!

5 years and a lifetime to go!

Last week Wayne and I spent our 5 year wedding anniversary and 7 years together in Santa Fe, New Mexico last week. We had a blast, the weather was just gorgeous and the food was amazing. I don't think I've ever eaten so much good food in all my life. We left the little munchkin-ator (his nickname) with Meme. He did wonderful and stayed on a perfect schedule, she said he does so great on it. He made his mommy so proud!

Wayne and I spent each day enjoying the magnificent weather and low humidity. We rented a scooter and drove up the hillside of a mountain. The views there are amazing. We shopped, hiked, and took in a night at the spa. The week flew by and I was very excited to see my little man at the airport. He shrilled with excitement as I turned the corner and I don't think I stopped kissing him until we reached the baggage claims area.

Truett has been doing some really cute things. His new fun thing to do is whistling... crazy I know but he can whistle better than me or Wayne! He is so funny, he mimics just about anything I do with my face or sounds that I make. He has been crawling so good, when he wants something :) He stands alone very good, for maybe 15-30 seconds (unless he's distracted). We are working on actually falling to his rear and not free falling like he's a tree!! He has taken peek-a-boo to a whole new level. He will pull his burp cloth over his face and as we say (like always) "where's Truett?" "Truett where are you?" (this is where he usually throws the cloth off, giggle, and smile, now he leaves it there for minutes until we stop talking and then he throws it off. Just to call the shots!

Since we've been home we noticed he will get his feelings hurt. We were standing in line at Chick-fil-A while Truett stared at our server for the entire time we ordered, waited, and received our food. I playfully took his hand and tapped his cheek saying "it's not polite to stare". He looked at me as if I shot his hopes and dreams, started to cry and after a moment of that he continued to stare at her until we made it to a place where she was no longer in his view.

Truett will be 8 months next week and we are having so much fun... life is good!
