Cherish every moment

My family had a very eye opening month!! My dad had a heart attack a few weeks ago. He is going to be fine and we feel very lucky because he has very little damage to his heart muscle. But in those moments when I did not know what was going on and whether he would be ok- God reminded me of how precious our loved ones are and that we should cherish every moment we have with them. We never know when He might call them home. I am so very thankful today for my wonderful family and very wonderful friends, I hope each of them know how much I love them!!!

I addition to this, I just read on a friend of mine's blog about this family that lost a mother and 15 month old in a car accident. First, I cannot imagine what that family is going through or how you even go on? Only one way and I will pray they turn to God and find peace with this! Well, my friend wrote how she let her girls sleep with them last night and not worry about bad habits or blah blah blah. I could not agree more!!! they are only babies for such a short period of time and one day they will not want to sleep with us. So for now, I am going to hold on tight and snuggle my little buddy even tighter tonight...Cherishing every moment!!!

15 months

Well, our little man is 15 months old now and keeping us on our toes! He is truly becoming a little boy- part of me gets sad because my baby is growing up but the other part of me thinks every new phase is my favorite! He is so funny and so opinionated these days! Some funny little things Davis is up to these days:

dancing to the hot dog song on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

blowing kisses with both hands

flirting with every female waitress we come across

throwing away his own diaper

say the word bath and you better run after his to the bathroom

"winking" but with both eyes

running...anywhere and everywhere

using the dustbuster

sign language for "more"- its so cute!

finding new spots to eat his goldfish
feeding myself...love some spaghetti

Telling us the oven is hot

CLIMBING! Look at this face, does he look guilty?

ZOO

We had some surprisingly wonderful weather in February and even though tax season is in full swing, we just had to take advantage and go to the zoo. I went in to work that morning but rushed home to get to the zoo before is afternoon nap. This was Davis' first trip and he had a blast!

Me trying to show him the zebras but they were too far away

"Mommy, see the rhino?"

VERY interested in the elephants...that's my boy. Roll Tide:)

Favorite part of the zoo...my wagon!

Christmas 2010

I know it has taken me way to long to put these up but things are picking up at work and evenings are all about Davis:)

Davis really got into Christmas this year! It did not take him long to figure out the whole present concept...except now he thinks everything wrapped is for him:) Most of the time he is right but we do go to birthday parties:)

I was a good boy this year:)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new wagon!

Thank you Auntie E

LOVE my tunnel too!

I got a Cozy Coupe from BeBe and Big Daddy

My SuSu and G got me a barn and I love it!

Family pictures

We had family pictures taken recently by our very talented friend Jessica. She captured some really special moments of us and I think they turned out great!

Jessica has started her own photography business and I think there are great things ahead for her! She is super talented and if you need pictures please go check out her website! jessidphotography.com

Santa!!!

We went to see Santa today at Wynlakes and Davis did really well! At first I thought he was going to fuss and wiggle his way down but then he got interested in the Christmas tree and he was fine. Below is a picture of Davis with Santa today and exactly one year ago...my how my baby boy has grown!

Thanksgiving feast

Since Davis was only about 2 weeks old last thanksgiving, this was his first thanksgiving meal experience! Hunter and I went to ECDC for his thanksgiving lunch and I was floored when his teacher handed him and ear of corn and he went to town!! I had not idea you could eat corn on the cob with 4 teeth but as you can see below he was really getting after it:) This thanksgiving we traveled to Hunter's grandparents house in Tanner, AL( near Decatur) spent the night and then drove about an hour to my grandparents house in Hackleburg, AL (near Florence). So, basically we spent thanksgiving in the the country! Davis did really well with all the driving thanks to Baby Enstein. I of course did not take pictures of our travels but I got a picture of Davis sproting his Turkey shirt below.
