Happy Easter! He is risen!!

Playing with my daddy. He's my favorite person in the world to play with.

Look at my cute overalls that Mimi got me for Easter. I think I look very hip in them.

Note in this picture my cute little hat that Momma got me for the summer to keep my soft little face from getting burned. She thinks I look so cute in it. I must admit...

I asked Momma not to include the picture above b/c I think it makes my face look a little chubbier than it really is, but she didn't listen. My great-aunt Betsy got me this balloon for Easter and I LOVED playing with it. Balloons make lots of squeeky noises when you play with them.

And here I am with Mimi and my Easter basket.

Boys can play dress-up too

Mimi got me the cutest little shark pajamas and they're momma and daddy's favorites. One night they decided to play dress-up with me. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be in the picture above, but I smiled and played along anyway.

Above I'm playing "Sir Lancelot". Diapers work great as helmets, and I didn't have a sword but you can see that I'm pretending to be striking a pose with one.

This one is called "The Sheik". Daddy put my pants on my head and I thought it was pretty funny. They kinda pushed my eyes down and I think it makes me look older.

5 Months Old

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!" Ps. 107:1

More Baptism - how can a mother choose which pictures to post?

I still love to cram all my fingers in my mouth at one time.

Mommy and Daddy think I'm the sweetest little boy God ever made :)

My Baptism

Momma decided she wanted some pictures of my in the outfit I was baptized in, so 2 weeks ago she took me out in the backyard for a little photo time.

This one's for my cousin Sophie

Momma loves the one below. I must say I do suppose I'm a handsome boy :)

My eyes are still blue and I'm 5 months old, so Momma's hoping I get to keep them along with my long eyelashes.

My First Time at the Beach!

It took a lot of nagging to get Momma to finally put some new posts up, but finally here they are.

It was very windy and a little chilly on the beach at 8:00 in the morning so I got to wear Momma's Bomgar sweatshirt.

I am one EXCITED boy!

While we were there March Madness was going on so here I am watching Mississippi State playing. Daddy and Momma were both decked out in their State t-shirts, and I did have my State onesie on to start the day, but you know how that goes...

And here I am on my little pallet in the closet where I got to sleep. I actually took longer naps at the beach than I take at home. I loved my little pallet :)

To the beach we go!

I've actually been to the beach twice before, but I was in Momma's tummy both times. Yesterday we drove from Jackson down to Gulf Shores, AL. I was a very good boy, I slept for 2 1/2 hours and then did fairly well. Here I am on the ferry....I see the other side!

Because we took Dadd's truck, we got a luggage carrier to put in the back to protect the stuff we had in the bed. Here's Daddy trying it out for size. While Momma's writing this I'm sleeping cozy on my little pallet in the closet of Momma and Daddy's room. I'll show you a picture shortly.

Various Shots of My Life :)

Here's some interesting things about me for posterity sake:

1. I can roll from my back to my stomach now

2. I have discovered that I can make noise! The last 3 days I've been talking up a storm.

3. I sleep from 9:00pm to 7:00am 19 out of 20 nights (a boy has to have a little leeway)
4. I love to have my feet played with and tickled.

5. I love it when all I have on is a diaper! I kick and flail my arms and have a good time!
6. I've acquired the ability to move 'down'. As in the picture above, I started out under the gym and slowly moved down until this is where I was 5 minutes later.

7. I love to stand up on someone's lap and look around.

8. I wear #3 diapers now - I'm growing up!

9. At my 4-month checkup I weighed 16 pounds and was 26 inches long (90th percentile for height, 50th for weight).

10. I LOVE my daddy. When he comes home from work I get SOOO excited, and I love to look at him from across the room and watch him and when he looks at me I smile SO big! He makes me laugh so much :)

Natural Science Museum

Last week when Nana came to watch I got to go on a field trip to the Natural Science Museum with Nana, Millie, and Aunt Rachel.

Nana had to make sure we knew that we needed to behave b/c we were being WATCHED.

Look at this fine specimen of a....well, I'm not really sure what it is, but it's pretty cool. Nana's starting my education early :)

I love riding on Daddy's shoulders

As many of you know, we've been having a ton of landscaping work done by our friends at Pinehaven Nursery, so here I am, off to survey the finished product.

It's looking mighty nice. Momma forgot to take 'before' pictures, but let me assure you, the way to describe it would be 'a barren wasteland of weeds, sand, and broken brick' before they came in.

Loropetalums, camelias, abelias, and sod - lovely, lovely sod - we actually have GRASS in our backyard now, something we've never had even before the storm.
