SAD-Peek-A-Boo

Davis is usually so happy when he gets up, as I said in my last post, but once in a while, I have an unhappy camper! Most mornings, he starts talking to himself and babbling away and making cute little squeals. But not this morning! He wanted OUT! When I got in there, he was peeking out the crib at me and it was so cute, I had to get a picture. Once I got him out and loved on him he was fine!

"OKAY, Seriously Mom, get me out of here. This is not a time for pictures, can't you see I am ready to get out of my crib. I don't even believe you left me here to go get the camera to take a picture of me........I am not feeling your love here!"

Happy Boy!

Lance and I love to go get our little buddy when he wakes up from naps. He is USUALLY happy as can be. I could just eat this little guy up! He is getting so big, I cannot believe it. We just bought him some new clothes, and now he is ready for some more new clothes. They grow so quick. Lance had to lower our crib because our little buddy was starting to get on all fours and pull up on the bumper pads. I knew it was time to lower the bed, when he was peeking over the bed one morning......that was a little scary.......of course he was smiling!

Put a sock in it!

Davis' favorite thing to do these days is to take off his socks and put them right in his mouth. Last week, we went on a play date with two of my friends from Sharon Elementary, Mary Paige and Shannon. I should have taken pictures, but I left my camera. Anyway, we all have babies around the same age. Davis had a BLAST playing with all of them, but he did have a problem pulling off every one's socks. He is so funny! I really enjoy getting together with moms. It has been so nice to talk about the babies and get new ideas and let the kids play. I wish I had more time to do this. I am so thankful to be working part-time, so that I have more time to spend with Davis, but I am amazed at how quickly a day can go by. We try to take advantage of every moment we can. I am LOVING being a mom! Davis is fascinated with other babies and kids. I hope he continues to be a social baby, right now he LOVES people!

6 Month Pictures

Well, despite Davis' behavior on Friday, Katherine still managed to get some good pictures (I have no idea how she did that because he really did not cooperate at all........I thought we were going to have to have a retake). She is amazing.....I love her work. You can now go to her website (posted below) to see our family pictures. Once you get there, click on the right box to go to her blog that is where our pictures are posted. I have posted the same pictures on here, but you can see them better on her blog. If you LOVE pictures like I do, you could look at her blog all day long! She has some awesome engagement pictures she took in New York City a couple of weeks ago that are incredible...you just have to keep scrolling down to get to them.

Enjoy!

Fall is in the air!

I LOVE the fall! This is probably one of my favorite times of the year. I have been so exciting about getting Davis' 6 month pictures taken. We were taking them with Katherine Birkbeck, who took his newborn pictures. I love her creative photography. If you haven't seen her pictures you need to check them out. Her link is on my blog sidebar (KB Photography) go to her website and click on blog and you can see all her recent pictures. They are fabulous. I am a frequent stalker of her blog!

Well, we went to take pictures on Friday, and what do you know.......Davis did not want to smile AT ALL!! He always is smiling and laughing....well not on Friday. He wanted no part in taking pictures.....I think he may have gotten this from his dad! I was so BUMMED! I have been looking forward to this day for months. I hope Katherine was able to capture something. Later that night he regained his personality and was all smiles. I don't know what his deal was on Friday. So, later that afternoon, Lance and I took him down the street to try to get some fall pictures in the leaves. He was not wanting to smile much for us either, but we did get a few good shots. Oh well, maybe next year!

On Saturday, Lance's mom and dad came to watch Davis so Lance and I could get away for a night! Our 6 year Anniversary is coming up and we decided to celebrate a little early. We went to spend the day in Atlanta, eat at Bones, and spend the night at the JW Marriot. It was such a nice little get away! We are so thankful that Lance's parents could watch Davis for us. I know that Davis had a BLAST! I heard that his PaPa was trying to teach him proper crawling techniques and when Lance and I got home, Nana was dancing around with him, so it looks like he got some dancing lessons too!

Buddies!

Davis loves to play with his Daddy on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Davis loves Hershel more and more each day. He loves to touch him. You can ask Davis where Hershel is and he will look for him......so cute!

Every time I want to get rid or Hershel (which happens more and more frequently........I NEVER thought I would say that, but he drives me so crazy sometimes), I look at this face and know that I could never give Davis' little buddy away.

Davis is fascinated by Hershel's paws, tail, and ears! I hope this LOVE continues....so far so good!

Better LATE than NEVER!

I am so late on posting Davis' 6 month letter, but I have to do it for journaling purposes. I had it written so far in advance, but kept forgetting to get his picture with his bear. I finally took his picture yesterday, yes I know he is almost 7 months, but oh well. Better late than never! I cheated the system and dated it October 14th, so it would be in the right order. So if you want to read his letter scroll down to October 14th. Hope everyone has a fantastic week!
