5 Months!

P turned 5 months last week! The time is REALLY flying by! I can’t believe how big he is getting and how much he has changed just in the last few weeks.

P is such a strong baby. He is grabbing at EVERYTHING. He holds on to his toys and playfully hits himself in the head with them. He grabs my hair, scratches and pinches us constantly and has even busted my lip a few times with a quite forceful head-butt. Chuck says he is our little football player and I agree even though I hope he only enjoys watching football on TV, not playing it. I prefer summer outdoor sports…football isn’t really my thing and I’m crossing my fingers that it isn’t his either.

P is also getting better at holding himself up! No rolling over quite yet but we are getting close!

P is also starting to laugh at everyone…he is so happy and social. His smile could melt the coldest of hearts. That little boy smiles with his whole face. His fat cheeks perk up and his eyes laugh with each smile. Seeing him smile every morning is the reward for each tough night and that is just fine with me…there truly is nothing better.


He is such a sweet, wonderful, healthy, and adorable baby and we are so thrilled to be his parents. My only wish is that time would slow down….he is growing way too fast.

i HEART summer

There is just something about SUMMERTIME that makes me happy. I love the heat, the delicious food you find at cookouts, the street fairs, going to the pool, a suntan, flip flops, getting messy with a cupcake....I LOVE everything about summer! And this summer has not disappointed. So far so good!!

July 4th was a blast!! Preston and I went up to Lexington to spend time with friends and family. We went downtown for the parade, had cookouts, swam at the pool, and I even got to have drinks with my girlfriends! It was a blissful weekend! Here are some pics from the weekend.

He was such a trooper in the heat!!

Olivia and Dude being silly...LOVE her outfit!

On Sunday, Mom had her very first cookout at her new house. It was so fun and we had the most delicious food! And of course we had to attempt to wrangle all the grandkids for a group picture...this is the best we got.

On Monday, P and I headed back to BG to have some pool time with Daddy. And we got another great THUMBS UP picture. I love it!!! My boys are so cute!


Chuck, Preston, and I are headed back up to Lexington this weekend for a wedding and I'll be staying a few extra days for work. After this weekend, we are staying put!! I want to spend some summer weekends working around the house on some craft projects I have put off.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy all that summer has to offer!
