Losers of Christmas Cards...

Sorry this is so late... but these pictures were too cute not to post. However, they weren't able to make the Christmas card!

Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails...

Truett is 2 ! Life is getting really fun!! I would like to take a post to remind myself in years to come and to let you guys know what all Truett has been doing/saying!

Truett loves to entertain!! From Sunday School teachers to aunts and uncles and yes, also mommy and daddy, he loves to make others laugh and when he finds what will make you laugh, he will wear the phrase/action out. He sometimes calls me momma or mom (this makes me feel like he is getting too old) but he mostly calls me mommy and daddy is always daddy or his other nickname Truett calls him, daddy-O. He also calls me mamma-mia!

He is all boy and loves airplanes, helicopters, trains, ambulances, firetrucks, cars, trucks, army men, tanks, dump trucks, and tractors, but really anything boyish he loves! He is crazy about being outside and playing with ANYTHING outside. His imagination has quadrupled in the last 3-4 months. He makes me pretend I'm crying and then hugs me and says" It's okay mommy, here's a paci" or he pretends he is making me a salad.

Probably the thing I want to remember the most is his vocabulary. He talks, and talks, and talks, and talks! I have NO IDEA where he might get that from :) He doesn't just speak in sentences but paragraphs. We have been reviewing our alphabet and numbers. He knows one through ten (he has only said them to Wayne, he has only made it to 6 with me unless I draw it out of him) and his alphabet needs some refining but he knows many letters. He also knows the Spanish words for 1-10. He loves to read and say things pertaining to the book. He pretends the people in the story are mommy, daddy, and Truett.

Truett's most used phrase, for the last week or two has been, " I need Truett to do it by himself". He makes us laugh so often.

He loves:
outside
doggies/kitties
the color orange (especially orange socks)
talking
trucks, airplanes, helicopters, etc., etc.
yogurt
reading books
daddy and mommy
chicken fingers
apple juice
cheese
helping daddy "fix" things
helping mommy wash dishes
pretending he is "working" behind the register
debit cards/ "paying the lady"
pretending in general
date nights with mommy and daddy
french fries (which we NEVER give him ;)
playdates with our friends (Sidney, Chloe, Anabelle, and Maddie)
picnics
peanuts


Things he is working on:
having patience
obedience
not whining
numbers/ letters/ basic phonics

Truett will be TWO a week from today

AHHHHH... I can't believe this! My little boy.... he was just brought home, like, yesterday! Well, it's been two years and I don't know where my time with him has slipped away to, but, I plan on using up all the time God gives me to instruct him in God's word. Oh, I pray I handle his little soul with care. Truett has been saying this statement A LOT "Truett do it by himself" and he really has been doing it ALL BY HIMSELF!

Christmas pictures Part 3

Thank you for all my gifts, but mostly my books!

Truett loves Helicopters, Airplanes, Firetrucks, Ambulances, Police Cars, and plain Cars and Trucks. He is so much boy in one little package!

Truett loves to go to a drive thru window and say " Uh, Uh, Uh...", I guess he here's that when we say "Uh... Can I get a ..."
When Maw Maw got him this police car we pushed one of the several buttons to hear "Krrrr.... (the sound of a walkie talkie) we have an accident on Canal St., krrr (ending the walkie talkie).
Truett leaned over to the car just like this and said...
"Just a salad, please" We could not stop laughing. He is actually saying this, in this picture.

Truett has been making the toys noises for them. He will say in a very airplane sounding voice... "here we go, we're in the sky" he also gets closer to the toy as if he is speaking for the toy. He makes the funniest conversations up, he loves to make believe and pretend.

"Shhhhhhrrrrr" says this airplane

Christmas pictures Part 1

Oh the fun...

of the holidays! We enjoyed going back and forth from my parents to Wayne's parents, eating, eating, and sometimes eating even more! Then we had a lovely, stuffed New Year's Day. In between we celebrated my 27th Birthday. Now we have less than 20 days until Truett's 2nd Birthday. And wham, bam January will be over. This is how we wake up "tomorrow" and realize the year has passed us by. We will be going on our family vacation soon, stay tuned to find out where.

Why we don't celebrate every week?

I would be like 500 lbs., that's why!! I love the family, friends, and food but come on we eat WAY too much, or at least I do.
Getting my food groove thang on!
Hey Dan!! Wayne's cousin.

Lainey- another cousin


Just enough to get you through today!
