I love my family

Last Monday, Mommy and I went to Asheville. We stopped by to have lunch with Aunt Becky and Elizabeth and headed on to the mountains. We got to see Nana C, Papaw Glenn, Nanny Wilson, John and Tammy, Uncle Ricky and Cindy, Mamaw Helen, Aunt Brenda, Aunt Mary Ruth and Uncle Carol. We also went to the Rehab Center to see Mamaw Beulah. She was so busy that we only got to see her for about 30 minutes. While we were waiting, we got to see a cool Japanese drum club who came to peform for the residents. I had a great time and was glad that Mamaw was enjoying being around other people.

We ended up staying an extra day in Asheville because there were so many people to see, so I reallly missed my daddy! Friday Mommy and Daddy went out to eat with friends for Aunt Kennette's birthday. I stayed home with my cousins, Marsha, Jane and Trevor. I didn't want to go to bed and miss any fun with them, so I cried when they tried to put me to sleep. I had lots of fun and I hope they'll come back to keep me one day. On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy and I went to lunch at Neomonde and shopping at Trader Joes before going to see Nana B and Grandaddy. Grandaddy has been in and out of the hospital because of his low blood pressure, but he looked great and I was so happy to see him.

This week, Grandaddy is back in the hospital because his calcium is too high (whatever that is). Please say a prayer for him and for my Nana B. I hope his doctors can figure out what is causing him to have trouble. I'll update you soon.

My fun week

This week has been so much fun! On Tuesday, my daddy worked from home so he got to stay home with us. On Wednesday, we had some errands to run, so we packed a picnic lunch and ate with Daddy at his office. That afternoon, my Aunt Christy started feeling bad at work, so her doctor told her to come home and lay down for the rest of the day. I didn't like that she didn't feel good, but it sure was fun having her at our house for the rest of the afternoon (Mommy wouldn't let her go to her house by herself!!). On Thursday, we were supposed to go swimming with Aunt Kennette, Holden and Hannah, but it rained and we stayed home. Friday, we went to something called Little Gym. I got to meet lots of babies my age, and we all crawled around, listened to music, popped bubbles, played with balls and bells, and made LOTS of noise.

On Saturday, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Wilmington to see Aunt Brandi graduate from college. She did so good and we were all proud of her (Mom's note: She made Phi Beta Kappa and graduated Summa Cum Laude while working and taking care of three kids). After graduation we went to lunch with Brandi's family and friends and then headed home. Today, Mommy has been packing our bags so we can leave tomorrow for the mountains. We are going to see Nana and Papaw and spend some time with Grandma Beulah at the rehab center. On our way, we're going to stop and see Aunt Becky and Elizabeth. I'm so excited, but I sure am going to miss Daddy! I'll post again when I get back.

Break on Through

Guess what? I am a big boy. I got my first tooth. It feels so weird, and I can't quit rubbing it with my tongue. It even peeks out when I smile. Mommy says she's sad that my toothless grin is gone, but she's excited that I'm growing up.

Last week, Mommy and I went shopping and on a picnic with Aunt Becky, Uncle Dan and Elizabeth. It was my first trip to Chapel Hill, which was a little yucky, but I had such a good time playing with Elizabeth. On Thursday, my Uncle Mark, Mommy, and I met Daddy for lunch at Cloos. I had green beans and prunes, but next time I hope I can use my new tooth on some french fries! Friday, I made a trip with Mommy to the Farmer's Market. We got a watermelon, but we haven't gotten to eat it yet. I'll post pictures when I can.

That's about it. We've been taking it easy since we got back from Hawaii. Now we are all getting readjusted, so maybe I'll have more next time.
