Captain Drools Turns 1!

I can't believe how fast this year has been. My sweet little boy is 1 today. He has brought so much joy into my life. I was telling my mother today how very different his first has been compared to his sisters. When Miss Boss was little I would put her on a blanket on the floor and then I would work around the house and do the things I needed to do, but I have NEVER been able to do that with him. Also, I never strapped Miss Boss into the grocery cart because she would always sit there so very nice and never try to move. Somehow Captain Drools can be strapped into the cart and wiggle his way out in seconds, no matter how tight the strap is. I am not complaining, please don't get me wrong. These are the things I love about him. I love that I am always chasing after him (his favorite game) and how he sticks EVERYTHING into his mouth and if he sees me coming he shoves it in there and clamps down on his jaw because he knows I am going to fish it out. I love that the only time he is not smiling is when he wants to eat. This boy is the light of my day. He has the sweetest smile and it always brightens my day. I can't wait to see what the next year holds. I have to rest now while he is still crawling because when the walking starts I am going to be in for some trouble!

The Three Best Years of My Life!

I can not believe that today I have a three year old. She has forever changed my life. I love absolutely everything about her and I love spending all my time with her. When she is not here I miss her like crazy. I have loved watching her grow up and there are so many things that I wish for her future. My favorite thing about being her mom is watching her discover and do new things. It is truly amazing to watch how excited she gets about parades and fireworks (2 of her favorite things). I love listening to her sweet little voice. She is the light of my life and I am truly totally and completely in love with this little girl.

This is Miss Boss at the hospital. She is 2 days old!

Captain Drools turns 11 months old!

I cannot believe that my sweet baby boy is one month away from being a year old. He is growing up way to fast. I wish I could slow it down. He weighs 26 lbs. He is a huge little baby. He is standing up and will only walk around if he is holding onto something. He has 9 teeth and he is trying to get about 3 more at the moment. His favorite past time is eating. This boy is going to eat me out of house and home. Yesterday for lunch he ate a 1.5 grilled cheese sandwichs and about 10 cheetos and cup of milk and about 5 crackers and he continued to scream for more to eat. I am hoping this is some sort of growth spurt, but I doubt it since it has been going on for about a month. Luckily he is completely on table food and I don't have to buy him anything extra. I have also started him on whole milk. I am trying to take away his bottle, but his daddy and Mimi are having a hard time because they both enjoy feeding it to him.

Miss Boss's New Love

Miss Boss loves getting a hold of my camera. These are some pictures that she took on our trip to Savannah (except the last one....she took that one at home).

I love this picture of Captain Drools and Pappy.

She took this picture of me and The Spit up King.(He looks thrilled to be with me, doesn't he?)

We were playing Rockband this week and Miss Boss took this picture of her CRAZY daddy. Doesm't he look ridiculous? I think that is why I married him.

Our trip to Savannah!

Sorry it has taken me sooooooooo very long to update my blog. My computer had to get repaired. It stopped working the day we got back from Savannah. So, this is late, but here it is.

My brother and his family moved to Savannah January 2 to start a church. We wanted to go down and support them at their kickoff service. It was so wonderful and I couldn't be more proud of him. I am so excited to see what God is going to do at their church. Please pray for them as they are starting a new journey in their lives.

We left Saturday morning for the long and boring ride to Savannah. We figured out on this trip that Captain Drools does not travel well. He did not like being in the car for such a long time. Miss Boss had movies to watch so she was great. When we got there we went to see Mark and Trisha's house and eat lunch. Their house is adorable.

Here is a picture of Captain Drools and The Spit Up King.

We left Mark and Trisha's house to go check into our hotel. We had a place on River Street and we decided to walk around before going back to Mark and Trisha's for dinner. While we were walking around we went into a little store where they make Taffy and Miss Boss tried some. She is eating some in this picture and for some reason this is the only face she would make for me.

There was also a boat on the water that looked like a pirate ship. Miss Boss loved walking all around it and exploring.

On Sunday, we went to the kickoff service for Canvas Church. It was such a nice service and the music was UNBELIEVEABLE. They are meeting in a movie theatre. Which I thought was pretty cool. I can honestly say I have never been to a church service at the movies.

After church we went out to eat at Uncle Bubba's Oyster House. It was so yummy. I had fried fish and I must say it was the best fried fish I have every had. While we were there we got a little suprised! I took Miss Boss to the bathroom while we were waiting for a table and when I came out I noticed all of these people taking pictures with their cameras and then I noticed there was Paula Deen in the middle of the resturant. She was walking around to all of the tables and taking pictures with everyone. We actually set down after she had already moved into the bar area so we missed getting to meet her and I didn't get to take a picture of here either. Sorry. After we ate we had very long drive home. I think we realized that a trip to Savannah needs to last a little longer than just one night. We are looking forward to our next trip though!
