On the Move!


My little buddy is starting to learn new things every day it seems. He is now crawling. He can babble "ma ma" and "da da". He can clap on command now. So when I say "Yayyyy!" and start clapping, he will clap too! It is the cutest thing. It's so funny what we mommies get excited about!

Into Everything!












Andrew is officially mobile now. It's not pretty, but he can get where he needs to go....fast! He hasn't yet mastered the gracefulness of crawling...he sort of looks like he's swimming on his belly, but boy, can he scoot!! He is constantly into something, and he loves to scoot all over the house. I snuck up behind him today and took some pictures of him snooping through brother's things!!

Little Piggies


I'm also obsessed with taking pictures of hands and feet....they're so sweet!






This stinker is now eating table food. He skipped right over baby food. He's not a fan....at all. He will eat some baby food, mainly fruits. But if you try to give him veggie baby food, you will end up wearing it! Here he is enjoying some spaggetios with brother. I don't know what it is about dirty faces, I just think they're cute....for snapshots....not for leaving the house, of course!

Mommy and Big 'Un

This fella is getting so big. This was almost a month ago....and he looks huge! He is definitely big for his age. We have his 9 month check up (really? 9 months?) coming up this month, so we'll see how he measures!

Catherine's Graduation







My 5 year old niece, Catherine, celebrated her graduation from preschool a few weeks back, and I am just now getting these uploaded. Talk about behind....where does the time go?! She was so proud that day, it was precious.

Pictures by Lyndsey Cunningham





We had the pleasure of getting Lyndsey to take the boys' pictures a couple of weeks ago. We went to Aldridge Gardens and had a blast. I didn't realize how neat that place is. We saw the fish swimming in the lake, we saw a snake....(uuuuggghhh), and a family of geese with their babies. It was a great day for pictures. Lyndsey did a fabulous job, as always!! I highly recommend her!!

My Big Boy


I can't believe how grown my baby boy looks in this picture. He's just moving right along, doing his own little thing, not studying this photo session at all. Can you tell why we have more pictures of Andrew?

Baby "Andry"!












As much as this precious angel smiles, you'd think you could get a picture of him smiling! He's so serious in all of his pictures. I think he's too busy studying the camera and everything else!! He's just my little "butter bean"....or should I say, "big butter bean!"

Wild Man...







So Stinkin' Sweet....







You really don't get much sweeter than this angel!

My Sweet Babies!

Happy Mother's Day!!

I just wanted to take the time to wish all of the Mother's out there a very Happy Mother's Day! This was my first Mother's Day as a mommy of 2, and I must say, every year gets better. I am so very thankful and blessed that God has allowed me to be a mommy. I think back to the days before I was a mother, and it's hard to imagine. My babies have blessed me in so many way! We had a very low-key day. We started off at church, then to eat at Joe's grandmother's, and then we ended up at the park to spend the rest of the day with my family. I hope all of you mommies had a wonderful day. Also, to my mother, who is not only my mother, but my friend...I love you! I am so grateful for you and all that you do for me and my family!

My Whole World...

revolves around these two little guys. Oh my, I cannot begin to explain how much I love them, or imagine what life would be without them!! My heart just melts looking at them. I thank God everyday for blessing me with these two, healthy babies, and allowing me to be their Mommy. Every day is an adventure, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Thank you to my beautiful babies for always bringing a smile to my face, just at the simple thought of you! I love you more than words can express!! Thank you for making my Mother's Day so special!!

Attempts at a Family Picture







I was bound and determined that I was going to get a picture with my boys today...uh, that never turns out the way you plan when you have small children. Oh well, I thought these were some good ones, anyway!

Daddy and Trev

It's unreal how much this little fella is starting to look just like his Daddy!






Love This Stinker!!

Don't let this sweet face fool you....this child is a handful and a half!! He is so full of it, and I love it. I wouldn't have it any other way. He may look just like his Daddy, but his personality kinda resembles his Mommy's!!

Ohhh....Trevor!



This is actually a funny story. On Friday, my Daddy brought us some lunch, and as always, brought Trevor a "chocwat moo-shake"....or that's what he calls milk shakes. What remained of the moo shake, we put in the freezer for later, so after his nap, he wanted it. I gave it to him, and went about my business, trying to tidy up the kitchen. Not 5 minutes later, Trevor comes into the kitchen, and says with a big smile on his face, "MOMMY...Andrew wuvs dat chocwat!" I say, "What chocolate?"....Side note: that's just how fast I forget things these days....I did just give my 3 year old a chocolate milkshake, with my 7 month old in the floor....in the other room. I go into the living room, and there they were, enjoying the chocolate milkshake. I thought it was so funny, I couldn't even be mad. I had to take a picture of him shoveling the milkshake in Andrew's mouth with the straw. One thing I can say....at least he was sharing with brother!

Recovering Just Fine...





Trevor is doing great recovering from his little procedure. Believe it or not, I took these pictures the day after his surgery. Kids amaze me at how fast they bounce back from things. If it were me, I would still be laid up in the bed, whining about hurting (if I had the time)!! The last picture is of his "boo boo". It's where they put his IV in....he had to have a Cars bandaid to make it all better!
