Happy Birthday Memommy!

Today Memommy turned 70 (shhhh, don't tell her I wrote that on here). I am proud to tell her age as she does not act or look her age. She just so happened to be Knoxville taking care of Trey and Joan came down from Sevierville and the three of us and Trey went and ate at El Charro (our favorite Mexican restaurant) to celebrate! With Trey in his pajamas the servers came around and sang to Mom to ring in the big 7-0!

Time to lower the bed before I fall on my head!

There have been several times that David and I have gone into Trey's room and have found him standing up about to topple head first onto the floor. In an effort to prevent any major accidents we decided it would be best to go ahead and lower the crib as low as it would go (and bye bye to his adorable bedskirt)! As soon as we lowered it, we put Trey in the crib for a little test and two minutes later he stood up and hit his mouth! I can definitely handle that much better than falling out of the crib!!

My 1st fire!

One of our favorite things to do in the winter is to build a fire; and let's just say there have been plenty of days to enjoy the crackle and roar of a fire during these cold winter days! Trey very much has enjoyed watching the fireplace and has a new fascination with it. We have experienced expressing the word "NO" as he wanders quickly towards the stone wall!

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.
