Happy Birthday, Nannie!

Happy Birthday to my sister aka Nannie/Auntie!!!  We hope you had a great day!  We had fun skyping with you today!  We hope to see you soon.
Davis is 15 months old today.  Wow, he's growing fast!  He cracks me up everyday! :) 

 

Big Boy, Big Changes

My baby boy is growing.  He's 14 1/2 months old now and is cuter than ever.  He's really at a fun age. He's happy, energetic, silly, curious and just precious!!! (Sorry, I can't help myself!)



 As the new school year is beginning for me and my students, Davis has some new beginnings too.  He moved up to the Toddler A room at "school"  There are 7 kids in his class. No more sleeping in cribs.  They have little cots to sleep on.  Another big boy thing is that they don't sit in a highchair.  They all sit in chairs around a table.  It's so cute.   

Davis loves to read and is often carrying his books around the house.  He tries to walk and read!  Hilarious.  His favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear and he's quite fond of Clifford too.  He's "talking" a lot too.  Some things we understand and some things are just conversations with himself.  He says dada, momma, ball, thank you, uh oh, no no and my favorite it Yum yum. He walks to the pantry and says yum yum!  It's so funny!  

And the biggest change...  NO MORE BOTTLES OR PACIFIERS!!!!!  Woo hoo.  About 3 weeks ago we stopped giving him the noonie to go to bed and that was it.  He did fine and didn't even put up a fuss. Davis has 12 teeth and is teething again.  He just got a new Elmo big boy  toothbrush. 

 He has been off of the bottle for a week and is finally starting to really drink his milk out of a sippy cup.  He didn't cry for milk or the bottle but just won't drink the milk.  He would drink juice and water out of the sippy cup but not milk.  He's getting the hang of it now!   It's so much fun watching him grow.   He makes us smile everyday!  What a special blessing he is to us!  We love you Davis!

Fun with the Folses

The Folses came to visit us this weekend!  We had a great time.  We were lonesome for them.  It was so much fun to watch Davis and Finn play together.  Now that they are both walking, it was quite busy but tons of fun.  They came in town on Friday night.  The boys took a bath and had fun splashing around in the tub.

On Saturday, we all headed to New Orleans to Joel and Ericka's for Maddie's name blessing ceremony.  It was nice to see our friends and be part of her special day.  Sunday was a great day too. We started the day with a fabulous breakfast... Beignets from Cafe du Monde (Mandeville) Then we packed up the boys and headed to Global Wildlife Center.  It was HOT but we all enjoyed it.    Davis and Finn were troopers and enjoyed seeing all of the animals that came up to the wagon.  We had a wonderful weekend with "my cousin, my friend"  and we look forward to doing it again soon!
