My baby boy is growing up!

C took his first steps on his own on August 21st. We are so excited for him! He has so much more freedom now. His walking gets better everday. It is so fun to see his expression when he is walking. You can tell he is proud of himself. C went for his 1 year check up today, and everything went well. He weighs 21 lbs and is 29 inches long. Wow! It is so hard to imagine that only a year ago he weighed 6lbs 6ounces and was 20 inches long.

11 months
















C is 11 months old. WOW only a couple of weeks until 1 year. I can't believe it. What an amazing year it has been.

Summer

We have had a great summer seeing family, traveling to see family and friends, and watching C grow. To start off the summer we traveled to Texarkana and C and I went to Dierks for the annual Luau bunco! We stayed and visited with Fairy Godmother Julia and had lunch the next day with Andrea and Reed. After that we sent some fun time with Nena and Papaw in Texarkana. Our next adventure was to Houston to see Uncle Brian and Aunt Betsy. Chris was also preaching a wedding for his seminary roommate. While we were there we got to visit with C's Great Uncle Bill and Great Aunt Linda. We had a good time playing in the pool, shopping, and relaxing the rest of our time in Houston. Also Mimi and Pops came several times to visit. When Mimi was here we worked on painting and cleaning different parts of the house.

C went swimming several times this summer. I think he is going to love to swim. He wants to take off on his own. We also played with the water hose outside at home. Church has been busy with VBS and other summer activities. We are also starting a Mother's day out program in the fall. I am heading that up. Please pray for this program. We hope that it will be an outreach ministry for our church. Ok I have been getting in trouble for not posting pics of Little Man, so here they are.




He is cruising around all the furniture.



so sweet!

One of my favorite times of the day. He is so fun right after he wakes up from a nap.

He likes to look and bang on the glass front door



C playing with the hotel amenities from our anniversary trip. Gotta love the shower cap ;)
Chris surprised me with an overnight trip for our 4th anniversary. We went to Jackson, Mississippi and stayed at the Embassy Suites ( one of my favorite hotels b/c of the big breakfast in the morning) We spent the day in Jackson shopping and ate dinner at a yummy italian place named Biaggi's. On Friday we did more shopping and went to see The proposal at the movies. It was a funny movie. The trip was a wonderful getaway. It was the first night we were both away from C, and it was greatly needed. I have a wonderful husband.

C is very interested in the fridge. Anytime we open it he comes as quick as he can.
