Drew...meet Santa!

Santa came up to my office last week and everyone's kids and grandkids got to sit on his lap and tell them what they wanted. You did so good! You didn't cry or anything. You sat on his lap and smiled for the camera and then you shifted so that you could see his face and you stared at him for a little bit. When I picked you up, you had a bunch of his beard in your hands! I love this picture! Merry 1st Christmas, baby!

North Little Rock Christmas Parade

A few weeks ago we got the fun priviledge of riding in the North Little Rock Christmas Parade. Daddy and his friend Hoops drove the Union firetruck and we got to ride in it with his family. It was so fun and you had a big time. The NLR high school band was behind us and you liked watching them marching and you got a huge kick out of watching the kids run into the street to get the candy we were throwing. This was such a fun opportunity for us...especially since this is your first Christmas!

Brrrr...it's getting colder!

This picture is actually from a few weeks ago when it really was cold. Then it got hot, and now it's getting cold again. I thought you looked so big in this stocking hat that your great Aunt Donna gave you last year for Christmas. I can't believe it fits you because it looked so big when we first got it! You think you are so cool when you wear it. Now if I could just get a picture of you without that stinky binky! It's hard to tell how much you've changed when you can't see the bottom half of your face!!!

Go Hogs Go!

Well, this has been an interesting week for the Arkansas Razorbacks! Coach Houston Nutt resigned and is now the head coach at Ole Miss. He has been our coach for 10 years, so this is a little sports milestone in your life. Right now the powers-that-be are looking for our next coach. Just thought this was important enough for a post!

10 months old!

You are 10 months old on Thanksgiving Day! How fun for you!!! You got tons of attention today. A little too much, but you loved it anyway! You have gotten so big and are really acting like a little boy and not a baby anymore. It's kinda sad, but really fun at the same time! You are still eating baby food and formula, but you are starting to experiment with table food...mostly at daycare. You won't really eat anything fun for us! You are crawling really fast, pulling up on everything, walking if you are holding onto something, and you can stand up from a squat. It's so cute. When you stand up all by yourself, you think you are so big and you usually start laughing! You are cutting your first tooth and it's finally broken the surface a little. Thank goodness because you aren't sleeping good at all and have started sleeping with us...I know, I said I would never do this, but it's the only way we get any sleep! Hopefully once your tooth comes in you will start sleeping alone again. You love other babies and bigger kids and really love Belle! You can't get enough of her. She's the first thing you want every morning. You are a very sweet little boy and very loving and social. You love all your little friends and love playing! I can't believe it's already been 10 months! Time really does fly when you are having fun!

Happy 1st Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Your first thanksgiving went really well. Daddy went to deer camp, so we just went to Grandma Faulkner's for lunch and then spent the night in Searcy. You were pretty overwhelmed at Grandma's, but you were really good...just really quiet. You had a lot of fun getting to play with Aunt Hannah since she stayed in Searcy too. We are so thankful that we are able to be your parents. You are the most adorable baby and so much fun and you bring so much joy to our lives every second!

Drew and Mattie

I thought this picture of Drew and Mattie was so adorable! Mattie is our good friends Tony and Stephanie's little girl and we had lunch with her when Callie was babysitting. Drew was amazed by her and wanted to sit over by her. He did pretty good, but he kept wanting to poke her so we had to keep an eye on him! She's so cute and I love her little cheeks!!!
