I'm 4 Months Old!

Just for giggles, here is my big brother when he was 4 months old! I am a tiny big bigger. And, okay, he had more hair too. But I think we're both darn handsome!

Happy Birthday, Bebe!

We got to celebrate our wonderful Bebe's birthday today! And what a treat it was for all of us! We started the day by walking to a delicious breakfast at Pastries a Go Go. It is always so yummy, and today, in honor of Bebe of course, I had myself a chocolate-vanilla-creme-mouse cookie after I cleaned my plate! After our stomachs were happily stuffed, we headed over to a big lake in Avondale Estates to feed some ducks, geese and even a turtle! I have never seen so many birds at once, and all coming right at us - they were not shy! I could not get enough. It was just a perfect, happy, loving day and I hope Bebe knows how very much we all love and treasure her! She is always so loving and fun and sweet with us boys - we could not ask for anything more from our wonderful Bebe!

So one day, I hear I'll be able to enjoy some of this yummy food too. Until then, I am happy to watch you eat!

Yummmmm, I have been anticipating this mouse cookie all through breakfast!

I have never seen so many ducks so up close in all my life. This is awesome!

"I'll race you, Papa!"

Bebe, let me show you how to throw it just right, okay?

Mama, do you SEE all the geese??

This is a good spot for thinking, huh Papa?

Let me try the bread to make sure it's okay for the ducks!

And maybe even a little more. Quick, before Bebe sees me!

I've got the best, most comfortable Daddy in the whole world!

Now for a little quality time with Mama:

Joyful Morning

So Mama had a doctor's appointment this morning, and thought she'd bring me along for some one-on-one "bonding time". I had other ideas about the morning and let her know it. The whole entire time.

Brothers

We may not be able to run around together and play or even talk to each other just yet, but we sure do already love each other to bits!

The Cheese Dance

I'm not sure when I came up with this, but I have been doing this for months whenever I am asking for a slice of my much-loved cheese. This video was taken first thing in the morning - you can see how excited I am about cheese even though I hadn't even had time to clear the crusties out of my eyes!

Weekend at Papa & Bebe's!

This weekend we all got a treat - Mama & Daddy got a night out on the town and me and Cooper got to spend the night with Bebe & Papa all to ourselves! We had a blast! Cooper played in his new bouncy seat and charmed Bebe to no end with his crooked little smile. Meanwhile I helped Papa water the lawn, myself, my car and of course, Papa!

The next morning all 6 (!!!) of us had a delicious breakfast together, courtesy of my wonderful chef Grandparents. The rest of the morning was spent playing chase with Mama, playing with my new toys, sword-fighting with Bebe and enjoying this time with my family! Can't wait to do it again! I love you very much, Bebe & Papa!

Helping Papa pick up sticks in the yard:

I am trying to explain the rules of football-chase to Mama. Sometimes she is a slow learner, but I do my best to be patient with her.

Discovering all of the fun toys in my special toy box at Papa & Bebe's house:

I loved when Mama missed the ball and I had to send her running down the stairs after it:

I Love Making Coopy Smile!

Aw Shucks!

I am really smiling a lot lately, and you know what that means, folks? That's right - colic is outta here and good riddance! No more are my every waking moments filled with frantic kicking and screaming myself red-faced and breathless, I am now pleased as pie to sit and stare you in the face with a big ol' grin on my face! What a difference this makes in everyone's life! Plus, I am working on my "I know a secret and it's a juicy one!" face - I think I've pretty much got it down!

I included this picture just to show off my juiciness - check out the thighs and those cheeks! My word!

Wonderfully Quirky

My latest "thing"? Mittens. Yes, it is still back-of-your-knee-sweaty hot out, but I need mittens on my hands, people! Even when I eat. Even when we are out in public. And SOMETIMES they even match! Sure, we get looks, but who gives a toot? I'm happy!

Family Birthday Party at Tommy's

Every year, we all go to Grandpa Tommy's house to celebrate Daddy's birthday. And this year we decided to celebrate Debbie and Aunt Kira's birthdays too to add to the fun. We had a great time visiting with our family, eating lots of delicious food and of course ending the meal with Grandpa Tommy's special, incredible, best-in-the-universe homeade vanilla ice cream. I'm already looking forward to doing this again next year!

Kissy kissy from Grandmama:

Smile! It's your birthday! The birthday folks - Daddy, Debbie and Aunt Kira:

Birthday Party at the Park

On what felt like the hottest day of the year, my friend Bella had her birthday party at a park in Newnan. It was super hot, even under the pavillion, so we all headed to the water play area to cool off. But, whoops! We forgot my bathing suit, so I just jumped right in with my clothes on! Even though my shorts were already too big so when the got wet they stayed mostly around my ankles, it didn't matter because I was having too much fun!

Playing with my girl Luci:

I am a silly, silly goose:

My First Visit to the Varsity

Today me, Cooper and Mama went to see Daddy at his new office downtown - he is way up high and we could see the tops of lots of buildings and even the baseball field at Georgia Tech! Then we all walked to the Varsity for some yummy lunch - I wolfed down a hot dog, french fries and then some cookies and cream ice cream for dessert (you can see how much I hated it all). We'll be back soon!

Petting Zoo

Today was Family Day at my school, so Mama and Daddy came up to see me and join in the festivities. It was stinking hot outside, so Cooper stayed in his class with Miss Gloria while we played. There was music, dancing, art and a petting zoo - it was so hot that we didn't stay out too long, but it was fun while it lasted!
