It's Official...

Yep, I graduated! Here are a few pics from the weekend. I'm off to bed and looking forward to three weeks of freedom! My family was so wonderful to come and support me (no fog horns, thankfully) at the multiple long ceremonies and receptions. More to come...

And just because he's so stinkin' cute...

Sweet Boys

We had our Bible study at our house tonight and William and Sutton got to hang out. Sutton loves William a.k.a. "Baby", and I know William will soon be trying to do everything Sutton can do. Look at these cute boys...

William Laughs

OK, I finally figured out how to get another video to load. William has been doing this little giggle for a while, but yesterday he really laughed a few times. Of course, we didn't get the real laugh on video, but his giggle and squeal are pretty cute!

This has been quite the week for our little man and quite the month for our fam. I went back to work, and although the actual work has been fairly easy, it has been an adjustment. I am still getting used to getting William all ready and out the door in a timely fashion. He certainly has a lot to take to school for such a small person. I think the hardest thing, and I know this will get worse when I start my internship, is being tired when I do get home. Overall, though, it has been a nice month to ease back into the workforce.

William is such a little joy to us. He is so happy! Like I said is the previous post, he had his four month check up on Wednesday. He weighed 13 lbs 15 oz. We gave him some cereal for the first time on Wednesday, and he was completely nonplussed (see picture below). He ate all that we gave him with no objections, but he just looked at us as if to say, "This stuff is nothing special." He seemed to like it a lot more tonight except that whenever he wants another bite, he dives towards the chest of whoever is holding him. I guess he hasn't quite figured out that food can come from a bowl.

Here are a few pictures from the week...

This is one of my brother's old outfits. I love the seer sucker!

Yummy

Little Hippo

Four Months

William is four months old today, and I cannot believe it. This picture is after his four month shots today...so sad.

Mother's Day Weekend

We spent the weekend in Tupelo with my fam, and we had such a great time! We of course had to visit the Gum Tree Festival and enjoy kabobs and fresh lemonade. Here are a few pictures of the weekend.

Wonder where William got his ears...

My two boys...


All of us looking at the camera at the same time, with smiles...amazing.

Smaller Cooler Contest---Go Vote!

Guess what? HJ and I entered William's nursery into the Ohdeedoh Smaller Cooler Contest and it was selected to be posted on their blog. Please follow this link, sign in, and give us a "Thumbs Up" so we can win! We would really, really appreciate it. Oh, and you can check out William's room while you're at it!

Simon Cow

Ok, I know I already posted today (pretty good since I actually had to go to work today), but I couldn't resist posting this picture. My parents got William this cow for Easter, and he loves it. He likes to hug it when he goes to sleep for his naps. We named him Simon Cow.

P.S. I have to confess I only had to work a half day.

Calhoun City Happenings

"Gran" took these pictures when she kept William on Saturday. Apparently, while we were gone William became an avid reader of the newspaper and a duck hunter. I think the hat was HJ's when he was little.

Heigh ho, Heigh ho...

Yes, it is true. Tomorrow, it's off to work for me. Maternity leave is sadly coming to an end. I realized this week that this is the longest I have been out of school since before kindergarten. I am definitely in for a rude awakening when I go back this week, but I am thankful that I am able to work and that William has some sweet, sweet ladies to take care of him during the days I am working.

We went to Starkville this weekend to celebrate my brother's college graduation. I got to have some sweet tea and a shrimp Po-boy at Oby's- yum! And, we had a great time seeing Daniel walk across the stage and receive his diploma. Congratulations, Dan the Man! I can't believe you've finished college. You are a wonderful brother, uncle, and friend!
