Christmas in November

We took our pictures for our Christmas card in mid November. I was very proud of Davis he did a great job! The same lady that did Davis' newborn pictures took these. We took the pictures by the lake in Gleannloch Farms. Davis spent the majority of the time eating leaves! :)

"Mom my pants are too long!' -Davis

Boy did we try to get a picture with the hat Mimi worked so hard to monogram! :)

Blowing EXTREME RASPBERRIES!

The tongue thing was new....not sure what it was about but he did it a lot this day~

This is how I will always remember his hair! :)

Merry Early Christmas!

8 Months

This has been a BUSY month! Davis is LITERALLY CLIMBING THE WALLS! He wants to see everything in the house. Lately, he has taken an interest in the tile in front of the fireplace. I never thought I would have to say..."Davis don't lick the tile!" I'm afraid he is hearing the word NO a whole lot though. The good news is that he knows that word and seems to know the meaning.



We officially have a bottom tooth. Now when he smiles big you can see it clear as day in his little mouth. (I think the teething is why he wants to lick the cool tile....we hope!) Anyway, Davis has also officially been sick too. He had a terrible cold and had to stay home with the Chief and Mimi for an entire week! He didn't seem to mind all the attention from the g-parents! :)



Davis weighs 20 pounds and is wearing mostly 18-24 month clothes. He is just about out of the size 3 diapers but we are trying to finish all our boxes before we move on to the 4's. When it comes to eating he really has grown quite an appetite. He now eat 4-5 containers of food and 4 bottles a day. He loves to sit in the high chair and chase the Gerber Puffs around. Davis is getting very good at chewing the puffs so we are thinking we might try some other things too.




It suddenly hit me the other day that Davis is almost a year old. It's crazy how fast he changes from 1 month to another. This year has been the fastest one I've ever lived! It will be Halloween soon and I can't wait to dress up my little boy! He is going to be....wait you didn't think I would ruin the surprise did you? :)

Play Time!

Sleepy but still holdin' out for his nap!

The Pumpkin Patch

The weather was so nice last weekend we decided we would take Davis to the Pumpkin Patch. He wore his little...well I say little...actually he didn't fit into his 12 month 'little' jeans he ended up wearing a pair that was 18-24 month! Ugh! He just keeps getting bigger and bigger! Anyway, he wore his not so little jeans and his pumpkin shirt along with his stride rite shoes! Davis was looking pretty cute! We got to the patch and couldn't wait to plop him in the middle of the pumpkin mound. He wasn't too sure about it all at first but we managed to get a few good pictures.

What is this????

You can even see my tooth!

Not so sure about the pumpkins!

Davis and Daddy

We met some friends there as well. We had a great time taking pictures of all the babies!

Here's the line up....Davis, Garrett, Luke, Avery, and Jackson! They were all really good sports about this! Davis just wanted to eat hay the entire time!

Davis + Jackson = Best Buds!

Givin' Lacey some love!

Mr. Jackson and his Mommy!

We had a great day at the pumpkin patch....next year we will be able to pull him in his wagon!

Big Day!

Happy Birthday Weston!

Saturday was a big/busy day! We started the day very early and drove to College Station for Weston's Birthday Party. Davis did so well....he didn't make a sound the entire way up there! We set up his pack and play and he played in there for most of the party. No cake for him just yet! He saw his very first pony!



We left early from the party and headed back to Houston for Steve's company picnic. Davis took a nap in the car all the way to the picnic. He had a blast watching the softball game!

We left from there to go to The Woodlands for Eli's Birthday Party! It was at The Little Gym and once again Terry threw quite a party! The kids loved bouncing on the air track! Davis liked crawling on the mats. We had a great time! We finally made it back home and Davis crashed. He had such a busy day! Steve and I couldn't believe we had no melt downs, no tears, no fussing....Nothing! He was such a perfect angel! :)

Davis LOVES Mrs. Terry...Eli's Mommy!

7 Months!

Happy Seven Months! This month has just flown by since we have headed back to school. Davis has learned so much this month. He is officially crawling EVERYWHERE and just in the past two weeks has started pulling up on anything and everything he can get his hands on. He loves to pull up on the coffee table and throw all the magazines on the floor...and eat a couple too! He if fascinated with the tile in the entry hall.....not sure why. Anytime he gets a chance he sprints all the way to the tile. About three weeks ago I went to get him up from a nap and nearly had a heart attack as I turned the corner into his room. He was standing in bed and gave me a BIG smile! He was so proud of himself. The next day I went to get him and he was not only standing but JUMPING in bed! What a boy!



This week I noticed that he officially has his first tooth. We thought for months that the eye tooth was going to come in since there was a little white cap there and it was swollen but it has not budged and the little bottom tooth has started to grow!

Jumping....yes, Davis has finally decided that he likes to jump! He can really get the jumper going these days!

Davis has pretty much outgrown the infant car seat. His legs are so long they hang out and he kicks the back of the seat. We bought him his first big boy car seat which HE LOVES! He likes sitting up straighter and higher so he can see out of the windows. Davis loves the seat so much we really don't have to play his movie every time we go somewhere....which is nice after 7 months of the same movie playing over and over!

Food: Davis pretty much eats all baby food now...with the exception of meat and peas. The meat is just gross and peas....well he just doesn't like them! His favorite thing to eat is squash He eats three containers a day along with 4 7oz bottles.



Davis is still in size 3 diapers and in 12-18 month clothes. He is so happy and hardly ever cries! This really is a fun stage!
