Random Post

I have not been the best about updating our blog lately so this will be a random LONG post.

Here are several old pictures I never posted.....

I have tried and tried to get Hershel to lay on a dog bed. I bought him a real nice bed from Orvis and he will have nothing to do with it. I came downstairs the other night and what did I see.......Hershel sound asleep on Davis' Boppy Lounger. Go figure, he hates his dog bed but he loves Davis' Lounger.

Davis sleeps with his arms straight out like this. I think it is so cute!

Davis asleep on Daddy!

Bath Time!

This is a old picture I fogot to post. Here is Davis and Uncle Casey.

Another old picture I forgot to post. This is Davis when is is two weeks old with Uncle Blake and Aunt Brittany.

Another old picture (not the best picture) of my dear friends Kelley and Beth and Davis when he was 4 weeks old. I don't know what I would do without these two girls. Lance and I enjoy spending time with these girls and their husbands. The six of us have so much fun together. It is so nice to have such special friends.

Uncle Justin and Davis - 5 Weeks

Now we are caught up to the present time!!

Sarah's Graduation Party with the Family

Great Grandma

The Lightle Family

The graduate, Sarah and Davis.

Congratulations Sarah!

Feeding Time

When we first got to the graduation party, I sat Davis on a chair in his carseat. He sat there sound asleep for an hour. He never does that in his carseat. Then we had to wake him up so everyone could hold him. Sorry Davis!

Davis falling asleep on Opa. Doesn't he look so relaxed? I know his head looks uncomfortable but he loves this position.

Davis and Daddy

Bath Time! Davis LOVES his baths!

My mom's friend Judy came all the way from Las Vegas for a visit. They could not get enough of Davis while she was here. My mom enjoyed having her high school friend here.

Davis Update!! He will be 8 weeks old on Tuesday. He is the happiest baby since we started giving him Mylecon drops before every feeding. His personality is beginning to show more and more. He is making eye contact, recognizing voices and faces, smiling in response to people, and cooing and smiling all the time! He FOUND HIS THUMB!! He will suck on his fist and then all of a sudden he will find his thumb and he will not stop sucking it. It is so cute, but at the same time I don't want him to suck his thumb. Every year I have 2nd graders who are still sucking their thumbs. I don't want that to be Davis. Lance sucked his thumb so I guess he is taking after hid daddy. Lance and I are just in heaven with our little boy. He now weighs 12 and a half pounds. The past two nights he has slept through the night, so we will see if that continues on.

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. We spent Sunday with Lance's family. We travelled to Douglasville for the first time. Davis was so good. Gail and Neal had all of their friends (Aunts and Uncles to Davis) come over for dinner and of course to see Davis. He was so good, but with all the people and commotion, he would not settle down to sleep. He really does not like to miss out on the action. We all had a good time. I did not take any pictures......I need to get better about remembering to take pictures. I had my camera and didn't take any pictures. Then on Monday Lance played golf with my dad, brother, and our friend Casey. My mom and our friend Kelley and I spent the day at the mall with Davis. He was perfect for three hours of shopping and lunch. I guess I couldn't ask for him to be better than that. He was a WAY BETTER shopper than Lance. I think this worried Lance a little bit. He does not need two shoppers in the house! Then my family and our dear friends Casey and Kelley came over for dinner.

First Date Night!! Lance had 4 tickets to a Gwinnett Braves game. So we had my mom come and babysit Davis and we headed out for dinner and the baseball game with Casey and Kelley. We were in the third row on the first baseline. Kelley and I found out very quickly that we were in a perfect spot for foul balls. We almost got hit in the head!! That quickly cut our talking in half because we had to pay attention to the game. It was so weird to leave Davis; but if felt so good to be on a date night. We has such a good time with our friends and I can't wait till our next date night. Meme said Davis was good. He also started sucking his thumb while we were gone. Thanks mom for watching him. We really appreciate it and I know Davis loved having time with his Meme!!

Back to Work!! I went to work Tuesday and Wednesday after Memorial Day for post planning. I had to move my classroom and get some paperwork finished up for the school year. My mom came and helped me get everything moved. She is a lifesaver as always. I can always count on my mom for anything. Thanks Mom!! Lance stayed home with Davis on Tuesday and I took Davis to work with me on Wednesday. Lance was worn out after their day on Tuesday. He called to see when I would be home and I asked how his day had gone. He let me quickly know that he had been pooped on twice and peed on once and Davis had gone through three outfits and he had not even had a second to eat lunch. I just had to laugh! I know Lance and Davis had fun father son time. Lance is just ready to get him on the golf course, soccer field, and fishing. He already warned me that I will not see them much once he can do all these things.

Busy Two Weeks! Well, little by little Lance and I have started bringing Davis out more and more, but I have not been brave enough to do it alone. Well, I just jumped right into that because the past two weeks we have been all over the place. We went to meet Lance for lunch so Davis could meet everyone in the office. Well, Davis of course had to make an entrance. We were only there five minutes........I was holding him and the ladies were all loving on Davis and all of a sudden we heard a big TOOT and poop plopped right out of his pants and fell on the floor. I thought Lance was going to die!! The ladies all laughed and we changed Davis and cleaned up the floor. Davis went to his Opa's office to meet everyone and go out to lunch and then we went to Meme's work to meet all her friends. He was a busy man, but everyone had to see him.

Our dear friends Kim and Justin (We set them up several years ago.) just had a baby three weeks after Davis. Her name is Ella and Davis was twice her size!! We stopped by to see Kim and Ella and had so much fun till they both were crying because they were so hungry. Kim took a couple pictures of Davis and Ella that I will post later. I think they may have a future together (heheh). Ella is a precious little thing. I loved holding her. She felt like a little feather compared to Davis.

Davis loves to be held all the time, so I got a sling to hold him in. Lance and I wanted to try it out first before buying one. We tried one on and he loved it and was asleep in no time. So we ordered one in my size and it came in last week. All I can say is I love my sling. I can now fold laundry, do dishes, clean and eat with him in tote. Life is so much easier! I also purchased one more thing I LOVE!! I love to take long walks and have been wanting a Bob Jogging stroller forever but they are super expensive. We found one on Craigs List for half price that is only a year old and very lightly used. We went to look at it and it was like new so we got it. Everyone says they love their Bob, and now I can say I am LOVING my BOB!! I want to get into running, but Lance doesn't believe I will do it. Since I now have my BOB that is just motivation I to prove him wrong.

Last Saturday Lance's cousin Sarah had her high school graduation party with the family. She will be going to Georgia next year. Congratulations Sarah!! We all cooked out and had the best time. Davis met all his aunts and uncles for the first time. He had so much fun and was very good. He loved sitting outside in the fresh air.

Wow, that was a long post, I will do better about staying on top of it from now on.
