My first Bama game!

Well, September is here and it's now football season! Our family is one big Bama family! We love this time of year, we love tailgating and going to the games. Davis has to learn early...ROLL TIDE!

They made me wear a wrist band in the box:)

Couldn't hang- asleep before halftime!

I'm awake, had to get that bottle after the game!

Corbette loves me:)

About to walk to the quad and hear the Million Dollar Band!

Reading up on the Tide!

where did August go?

Well, the month of August got away from me! We are now in September... I was working out of town so much that I have not had time to do a blog post. Let's see, in August...Davis learned to crawl on all fours instead of his army crawl, he started pulling up, and is now walking along tables! He had wet n wild day at school, went to see an ENT, and continues to be VERY vocal! We have given up on sleep at the Groce House but are hoping tubes will make Davis a better sleeper one day!

Another big change this month was that Davis moved from the infant room to the crawler room at school- tear:( my baby is growing up! I just loved his teachers and was very sad about him having to move but I know we will love our new teachers just as much!

Ready for Wet n Wild day!

One Saturday morning...to our surprise

My last day in the infant room. Ms. Sadye loves me!

Ms. Ally calls me chubs:)

Ms. Vaughn with my class for the last time

Wedding and first plane ride

We all traveled to Kansas City the weekend of August 14th because Seth and Ashley were getting married! Seth is Davis' Godfather. Davis flew for the first time and we survived the airport with a 9 month old. It was a beautiful day, a little warm, and we were so touched to be a part of their big day. We wish them a long and happy life together and love them both so much!

My little man is growing up too fast!

Well, let's see...in the last few months Davis has started crawling and the whole world has opened up to him. He is so curious and into everything! He is not crawling on his hands and knees, its more of an army crawl but he can sure move:) He is so vocal but it only consists of the da das and ba bas..and a few mmmms but no mama yet!

Last weekend he was in rare form- I went in there when he was supposed to be taking his morning nap and he was pulled up on the side of his crib. So, time to lower the crib- what an ordeal! Then I was putting away clothes in his room and left on his own had every book off his shelf and created a mountain around him. I figured that was his way of telling me he wanted to read so I stopped what I doing and sat in floor with him and read half a book before he was on the move again! I don't know why he is so fascinated by everything I don't want him to touch like cords, glass, etc. I see signs of fearless, destructiveness and I am realizing my days of seeing what little boys are all about are upon me...here we go!

Davis is still not napping in a crib if put down awake as these pictures show he will not have anything to do with a nap in his crib! But he loves a nap with mommy: I know, so bad- but when you work full time you cherish these precious moments of a sweet sleeping child who searches for you in his sleep and holds on to you.

Lake weekend

Let me start by summing up this weekend- organized chaos:) You don't know how much help your husband is until he is not around for a weekend and you are not at home with all your stuff!!

Davis and myself packed up and went to the lake with some of my closest friends and their babies- Mary Katherine had Charlie and Elizabeth Ann, Casey had Anne Katherine and Mary Charles (due in September), and Julie had Olivia. It was so good to see these friends that I don't get to see near enough and to get to spend time with all our beautiful children! I am blessed to have these ladies in my life and hope our children grow up to be the best of friends!

We did decide next time we make a trip together we either bring daddy or leave them all at home:)

Davis' first trip to Florida

Ready to go to Florida!

We went to the beach for a week the beginning of June, it was wonderful and we certainly did not want to come home and back to school/work and reality! Davis LOVES to swim in the pool but is a little iffy on that sand stuff:) He took many naps on the beach with the breeze and waves!

Memorial day and our first teeth

I know, almost a month late but we spent Memorial Day weekend in Orange Beach. Davis' first road trip- he did great! He took his first boat ride, got in the pool for the first time and finally met his buddy George Herndon! It was a great weekend and we even came back with 2 souvenirs- two little teeth came in the exact same time!
