I am 7 months old today!

I cannot believe our baby is 7 months old. It really feels like we were just finding out the sex of baby this time last year. On December 30, 2009 my mom as well as David's mom and myself went and ate lunch at Silver Spoon American Cafe and then went to our doctor's appointment where David met us there- that is the day we found out we were having a boy. Exactly one year later, my good friend Rachel Edington (she was also a bridesmaid in our wedding) and I, along we Trey of course went and ate lunch there. Now I have started a tradition that I am obviously going to have to keep up. The following day Trey turned 7 months old. He has 2 teeth, is getting up on all 4 like he is about to crawl and is sleeping through the night. He loves to play and is a very active and demanding child. In the pictures I was singing happy birthday to Trey and of course he started posing for me (he is definitely our child)!

Oh I am so behind on here!

Many of you may be wondering if I have given up blogging but I promise I am just being a horrible procrastinator. I know if I just updated every few days everything would be fine. That would be to easy, right? So now I am going to spend the next few weeks or months back tracking all of our lives on here. Just to update everyone as we begin 2010, we have had a wonderful 2009. The planning and preparing for Trey, his birth, time David and I were able to spend together, and watching our little baby grow and change everyday has been a real blessing for us. David and I are so thankful for Trey and the love he has brought to our lives in 2009. We are truly excited to see what 2010 brings us. Hopefully we will be able to get rid of 1 of 2 homes, take a few trips, become settled somewhere and enjoy our lives as a family. We just trust that God will lead us in the right direction. Here are some pics of Trey at the end of the year.

How bout them Blue Raiders!

On December 20th all 3 of us dressed in our finest royal blue to get ready for the New Orleans bowl game where Middle Tennessee took on the Eagles of Southern Miss. We went to lunch that afternoon with Nana, Papaw, Jeffrey and Lexie and returned home to get ready for the game. After a shaky start we were pumped when the Blue Raiders took down the Eagles in the Big Easy 42-32. This was the 2nd time in school history the Blue Raiders had made it to a bowl game but the first for a VICTORY! I will admit that I dozed off some during the game but was so excited about the big WIN! As you can imagine David was thrilled.

Trey's 1st tooth

For weeks now I have been anticipating Trey cutting a tooth as he drools like you would not believe. I feel his gums daily and wait patiently to see if anything is happening. To my surprise on Monday night David and I were getting Trey ready for his nightly bath when I saw something white in his mouth. I put my finger on his gums and BAM- there was a tooth! It had broken the skin and was coming through. We were so excited. We had Trey so excited as he was smiling and laughing! Children are truly a gift from God. They teach you to truly appreciate the small things in life! David and I just feel so blessed that God has allowed us to experience that! Soon as I get a picture of the tooth I will post it!

I Love My Boys!

Everyday I seriously think how lucky I am to have 2 wonderful men in my life (well one man and one little man). David and Trey bring me so much joy and I must say seeing a David take care of Trey is absolutely priceless. While I do not want to wish the time away I am really looking forward to the day when David and Trey will be able to really play with one another. David always says he does not know what we did without Trey before we had him (and I wholeheartedly agree). I am so glad to have these guys love and take care of me. I hope that I can always be a support system for both of them and be the best wife and mother I can be. These pictures are from Trey's 3 month pictures and will forever be treasured!

I do not like Apple Juice! YUCKY!

At our 4 month appointment with Trey, our doctor had said we could give Trey a little juice if we wanted to. We have waited and I had it in my head that I wanted to try and give him a little bit tonight. Trey made an awful face each time he tried it. He clearly knows where his bottle goes and can grab it and put his baba in his mouth. However this time he just was not feeling the juice. You think he just put a lemon in his mouth based on the faces he was making. I hate our pictures do not fully capture his faces but you can gather some idea. We are just going to have to work on it.

The picture next to Trey is of his Papaw,David Sr. when he was a baby! Any similarities?


Friday afternoon we were debating on what to do for the weekend. For once we did not have to travel out of town. We obviously cannot sit at home so we decided to drive to Sevierville and have dinner with Joan, AKA Nana Honey. We ended up staying all weekend and coming home on Sunday. Good food, family, friends, fellowship and help with Trey sure does make it easy to stay! On Saturday morning David and I were downstairs with Trey. I had fallen asleep, Trey had fallen asleep on David and all of a sudden we hear Aunt KaKa come in the living room. She and Uncle Joel were in Sevierville from Murfreesboro to spend the weekend since Uncle Joel had been traveling for work. Trey really enjoyed playing with KaKa as you can tell in the pictures. He was a trooper as he had the croup and had lots of people to pay attention to only him. Our spoiled child. At least he comes by in honestly!

Also on Saturday, Big Dave's sister Pam and her husband Larry were in from Ponce de Leon, Florida visiting family. This was the first time they had met Trey and were able to visit for a while! Aunt Devee and cousin Lexie came over as well. You can really see how much weight Devee has lost and how much she and Aunt Pam favor each other. Saturday night Uncle Kevin and Aunt Candace came over as well to watch some football and play with little man!

We had a great, relaxing weekend and are now ready for the hustle and bustle of the week!
