Happy 1/2 Birthday!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Michael Lance!!!


Michael is *loving*...I mean *loving* his food. We got to start him on cereal on his 5 month birthday. He ate the cereal, but really wasn't digging it. So, we started giving him a little applesauce with it and he went to town! Next we tried green beans. Then it was green peas, then squash, sweet potatoes, avacado! OMG...the boy loves to eat! He's eating food around lunch with Anna and then again in the evening with us. I don't know why, but he talks the whole time he eats. Just mumbling and chatting the whole time. Precious. We've started fruits too and he loves them.


He can now sit up on his own. He likes this new found perspective on life. His bottom is still just a little round sometimes, but he loves trying. You can see the video of him sitting in Grandma & Granddaddy's yard here.

He got to hang out at Juice & Pa's this weekend (that's why this post is a few days late)...He enjoyed hanging out with Uncle Curt, watching football, drinking a cold one (juice and water that is) and discussing the game.


He got to go to his first football game on Friday. We watched the Indians play Sweetwater. This outdoor boy loved watching the game and everyone there. He met up with his Seminole girlfriend too. At the end of the 2nd quarter, he got a little tired and had to hang out with Granddaddy.




He is becoming quite the little ham when you get the camera out now...


Happy 1/2 Birthday baby boy!!! We love you!!

are you ready for some football!?!

Michael is ready to cheer for the Indians!! He'll get to go to his first football game this Friday!! Go Indians!

lunch date

Michael had a lunch date with the beautiful Gracyn today...We met Gracyn and her sweet momma & daddy at McAllister's for lunch. I can't believe these babies will be 6 months old next week! They are both growing and changing and doing new things everyday. Gracyn is rolling all over the place and Michael is content to lay where he is. They are both enjoying their new found taste buds for food, therefore growing like crazy! They were both sleepy and hungry when we got there, but they were both so patience and such troppers....even through our mini photo shoot after lunch. It was a wonderful time and so good to see them again. We love you!!

they came

in masses...lots and lots of them! Every 45 minutes, new ones. Eager faces, new clothes and fresh smiles. Honestly, it was a great day. I think it's going to be a fun year with fun students.

It was so busy that before I knew it, it was after lunch and Grandma had emailed saying that she checked on Michael and he was getting ready for his afternoon nap! I think he had a pretty good day. It was better today (for me). I think it was because I did not have time to breathe, much less think about how I wasn't with him. Of course, I missed him and thought about him, but yes, it was better.

We had to take a first day of school picture....


So is this a sign he's getting too big for the swing??? I thought he was going to flip the thing over today...
