Busy Bee

What a big boy I am now! I'm always on the move . . . crawling, cruising along the furniture, jumping in my jumperoo, or in the walker!

Sometimes I am silly and camera shy!
I really wanted to play with the camera strap here. It gave Mommy a chance to snap a picture of my hair. Can you see how much it's grown??
Mommy knows that I'm ready for my nap when I start to rub my eyes. If she misses that clue, another good sign is that I can hardly hold them open!!
If she doesn't take me to my crib soon, I guess I'll just sleep here.
Me and Daddy . . . Mommy's not so good with Sasa's camera. She's really looking forward to her camera coming in on the 20th!! Yay!
Here I am playing with my new toys from Noah's Ark!

We've been pretty busy! Saturday we spent the day in Grenada and went to the arts and crafts fair on the square. My Aunt K had a booth set up so I got to play in her tent. I know that she and Sasa were so glad that I came to entertain them. I got to visit with Uncle Mark, Aunt Lisa, and Zach. They were a lot of fun because they gave me my first taste of funnel cake. We got to hear them sing with their church group too. Mommy was really sweet and shared her snowcone with me. I think the snowcone was my favorite! I also got to see Grammy, Aunt Corrie, Uncle John, Alexa, Eli, Ninny, and Gran Gran. Eli and Daddy went on a helicopter ride together. Maybe I'll be big enough to try it next time. (Mommy says definitely not!) Then we went to eat fish. I didn't get to try any of that!

On Sunday, we had our gospel meeting starting at church. I got to meet some new people that usually don't come to our church. Wendy was really excited to get to hold me in church too. I tried to be good as long as I could, but church just isn't church without my nap. After church we went to have lunch with Grandaddy for his birthday. I made everyone laugh because I made the WORST faces when eating black eyed peas and mashed potatoes. We went back to church Monday night for the meeting, but last night we had to go to the funeral home. My Uncle Brandon's grandmother passed away. I was really a sweet boy there and tried to smile at everyone and show them how I can say Momma!

What can I say . . . I am a busy boy. And I'm keeping Momma and Daddy really busy too. They have been trying to baby proof the house, but I'm smart enough to find something that they haven't thought about. I've pulled the satellite and VCR out and dropped them on the floor; yesterday I got into Daddy's movies (shhh....mommy didn't tell him); I am pulling things off the dining room table; trying to turn chairs over on me; pulling the curtains off of the french doors; and pulling on the baker's rack (it has lots of breakable things on it and mommy is at a complete loss of what to do with it). So maybe now you can understand why Mommy and Daddy are so busy now. Hopefully Mommy can get some good videos of me talking (saying Bye-bye and mama) and waving and trying to walk . . . the camera should be here tomorrow!!

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Never Say Never!!! :)

I'm so proud to say that I made it one whole day without opening the envelope. LOL!!! John and I took Jax to the zoo yesterday. We were talking about the ultrasound on the way there, and John finally admitted that he REALLY did see the screen when we weren't supposed to look. He SAYS he didn't mean to, and that he thought she was finished. But, he said that the screen was zoomed in and he saw boy parts! So I ripped the envelope open as soon as we got home for our early-not so surprise- surprise . . . and here is what we saw. Anyway, I'll probably have to ban John for going in the ultrasound on number 3 now. Any volunteers to take his place??? I didn't really have any expectations about gender this time around . . . but I will admit that I'm hoping the third will be a girl!!! I think it's fun that Jax will have a brother to grow up with. And, I've got plenty of clothes for this one too. So there's our news. And for those of you that said I there...
