Rice Cereal!
It was a fun experience! Messy too! I giggled at him the whole time!
;)

This is his first bite....

2nd bite...with some gagging going on.... :)

finished and looking traumatized and messy! ;)

His 3rd day of food....getting better....

talking and eating.... :)

looking and seeming to enjoy it much more this time around!

He is growing up so FAST!

4 months old!!!!

Pierce is 4 Months old!! Time has been flying......We can NOT believe it!!


*********
Things he is doing that amaze us:
  • He is really getting up in a sitting position by himself while sitting up in our laps.
  • He is holding himself in the sitting position longer and longer each time.
  • He has discovered his feet!
  • He has discovered his tongue! It is out all the time and mimics any one that sticks theirs out at him!
  • HIS FIRST TEETH!!! He bit Uncle John, helping us discover WHY he was so fussy!
  • He still is smiling up a storm! Melts your heart! No matter the time of day!
  • Drool, Drool, Drool!!!
  • Still a talkin' up a storm too!!
  • Giggling! Not a full on laugh yet, but I bet we get there soon!!!
  • Just pure sweetness still! ;) I nibble on his cheeks all the time and he just smiles! :)
I know there are many more things he is doing, these are just my favorites! I just can't believe he already has some "toof-em's"!!! He is getting to be such a big boy! Like I said earlier, time is flying and I am not REAL sure I like that! It makes me sad! ;)
LOVE HIM! :)

Sweet Details & Memories at MeeMaw's!



Swung as fast and as high as we could in this tree!

Talked a blue streak, wrote many notes to MeeMaw, and had the BIG girl seats for Christmas at this bar!

Our goodies drawer!


Had a many of meals under this lamp!

It lit our way to the bathroom!

Warm and Toasty after a bath with this heater!


One of my favorite details, the built in drawers!

One absolute reason I love Spring......

....these little jewels!
Whatever you want to call them: Buttercups, Jonquils, Daffodils. Personally, I love the name Buttercup, maybe that is what I will name a little girl one day, if God blesses me with one (just kidding Mom, pick yourself up off the floor now!) ;)
but they do make me smile and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell of them! :)
and this vase makes me smile too!
Happy Spring Everyone!!!

Vella Turns 1!!!!!


today actually!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VELLA!!!!




Saturday, we all 3 packed up and headed to Murfreesboro to help Vella celebrate! and as you can already see, the theme was OWLS and P & I loved it!!!! Fun games (pin the beak on the Owl & Owl Pinata), good food, great company with friends, cute kids & beautiful weather made for a PERFECT day!!! Pierce was so good! He was entertained the whole time! and smiled up a storm for everyone!!!

Vella was precious walking around saying "Hoooot!" :) I think Mindy & her had been practicing! ;)

Thank ya'll so much for inviting us! We had a blast!! It was great to visit with ya'll!
Love to you!!!

Loved all the PINK! ;)

My cute boys!





She actually didn't do too bad, and didn't get cake EVERYwhere! :) Later in the afternoon, I tried to hold her for a second and kissed the top of her head and I said "you smell like candy, but I bet that is birthday cake in your hair!" ;)






Look at that skirt! Too cute huh?? :)



Owl Pinata!!! Every one had a chance to pull a string to get the pinata to break open for the candy!


Vella's first in line!


Blind fold for pin the beak on the owl!


Felt owl Mindy made for pin the beak on the owl! and of course the prize was AN OWL! ;)




Birthday girl in her car the whole time rather than opening presents, so Mindy got to do that for her! ;)



Mindy, Vella, Me & P!! ;)

from MINDY's Camera - I just love P's little overalls from Uncle John! Carhart! ;)
