Celebrations

We've been busy little bees over here these past couple of weeks.  Since Chad has been working from home, I've been playing secretary for him. Although it comsumes a lot of my time I actually like it. ;)  He just got the keys to his new office ( close by our house) Yeah!!!   Now he just needs to find a secretary!  Ha! 

Grammy and Pop came in town to visit a few weekends ago.  We celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  WOW!  That is amazing!!!  We love you.

We celebrated Father's Day at our house with our friends, The Warners and The McIntyres. Chad loaded up with grill with lots of chicken and ribs!  We ate lots of yummy sides and enjoy many laughs.  Charlotte and Davis cruised around the house while sweet Maddie smiled and cooed.  We had a great day!

The Mills invited us over to celebrate Baker's first birthday!  We had a fun time visiting with them, the Parnells and the Bristers.  It was fun to see all of the kiddos play together!  Davis even at Domino's pizza for the first time.  No complaints from him.    He's a porker!  Ha!  He has no problem eating! 
(I left my camera in Lafayette so I'll have to borrow some pics from Kate and post later)


Our summer has been packed and moving by too quickly.  Where did June go? 

We are headed to the Reaux's camp in Cocodrie for the 4th of July!   

Baby Steps

Davis is slowly learning how to walk.  He's cruising along everything and is really into standing and pushing his toys around the house.  We have stuff everywhere!  Ha!   He takes a few steps and then decides that crawling is faster.  It's too cute and funny.  He loves when we cheer for him.  Tonight he took about 6 steps in the kitchen and then fell.  He was excited and so was I!  I know it won't be long and then I'll really be playing chase trying to keep up with him.  He's a fast little thing!  It's just so amazing to watch all of things that he does on a daily basis.  It's truly a miracle.

One Year Check Up

We went to see Dr. Richard on Tuesday.  Davis had a good report and was a good patient.  Poor baby got 3 shots and blood drawn.  Yikes.  He was fine for the shots, it was the blood thing that made him cry.  It broke my heart.  Davis perked up when it was done and really liked the orange smiley face rattle the nurse gave him.  Davis is a great eater and pretty much eats anything we give him.  Now it's time to finish with the bottles and formula and move on to milk in a sippy cup.  Dr. Richard also suggested getting rid of the pacifier too.  We'll try but so far that's not working.  Ha!

Davis' One Year Stats:
Weight ~ 21.1 lbs.
Height ~  29.5 inches
He's in the average range for his age.

Here's a pic when we were leaving the doctor's office

Davis and Finn Frist Birthday Party

Davis and Finn had their big first birthday party on Saturday.  It was so much fun.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and the boys had fun too.  They had lots of people to celebrate with them.  Davis and Finn both got some really neat gifts and had fun opening them.  It looked like Christmas with all of the presents.  The kids loved playing in the fun jump.  Davis and Finn tried it too but it was not really their thing.  Maybe next year.  The cake eating was hilarious.  Davis was not into it at all but Finn couldn't get enough.  Thanks to all who helped make this day so special.

We Love You, Mallory

Congrats to Mallory!  She had her 8th grade graduation ceremony last night.  We were sad that we were not in town to attend but are so proud of Mallory and all of her accomplishments.  She got recognized for her many activities and won sevearl awards!  Hard to believe you will be in highschool at ESA in the fall. Way to go Mal!
