Ride 'em cowboy!

Meet my friend Rody the horse. I have been going to Physical Therapy for 2 weeks now for a mild case of torticollis. Basically, I was born with some of my neck muscles on the left side very tight causing my head to tilt. So at therapy, I stretch and strengthen my neck, and I even get a good massage by my therapist Mrs. Ginger. I have been making such good progress! Mommy and Daddy also make me work very hard at home each day to practice looking left, rolling to the left, holding objects in my left hand, and doing stretches. It makes for some good play time!

Here Mrs. Ginger is holding onto me while I hold onto Rody. She lets me rock back and forth, and I have to hold on real tight to practice my grip. Mrs. Ginger says I am doing so good she needs to find something else to work on so she can keep me around longer! I am the youngest patient in the office, and everyone likes to come talk to me. I usually just give them a great BIG smile! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me! You should have seen them today at therapy - Mommy was taking pictures and Daddy was shaking toys in the air to make me look left. They were quite a sight!

Happy 1st Father's Day, Daddy!

Here I am relaxing with my sweet Daddy on Sunday afternoon. After church today, we went to Outback for lunch. I was such a good boy. I slept the whole time so Mommy and Daddy could eat. This morning I even set a record by doing 3 poopy diapers for my Daddy! Happy Father's Day! I just wanted to show him how much I love him! He is so silly; he's trying to eat my toes just like me.

I love my Daddy so much! He let's me sit in the recliner with him. He sings to me and plays with me. I am just fascinated by the tv remote. I look more like my Daddy than Mommy. I have my Daddy's bright blue eyes and look at our round, plump cheeks! I love to smile when Daddy sings to me.

My first wedding

I attended my first wedding this weekend! My mommy's co-worker Lauren got married on Saturday night. I was a good boy, and I got passed around among Mommy's friends. I love to be around people and see new faces.

Sitting with my Daddy. I have to wear a bib because I drool all over the place these days. Mommy says I am teething. I sure will be glad when my little chompers come in.

All the excitement just wore me out. Mrs. Tricia wanted to hold me while I slept. She loves babies!

Duke is #1. Go Blue Devils! I am laying on my Daddy's blanket. He is crazy about Duke basketball. He makes me sit and watch the games with him. Everyone tells me I'm gonna be a basketball player one day because I am so tall. I have my Mommy's long arms and legs.

Here I am playing on the floor. I like to play in just my diaper. It makes me feel so FREE! I am holding my head up really well. I like to roll over and play with my feet the best.

My busy weekend

I'm all smiles! I'm a pretty happy baby most of the time. Within the last 2 days I have learned how to roll completely over. I start on my back and roll to my tummy then over to my back again! Sometimes I don't even realize what I've done.


My Nana bought me this "Little Tough Guy" outfit. Mommy calls it my muscle shirt. I like to show off my big muscles!


Mommy and Daddy's friends Ricky and Jennifer with their 2 children Matthew and Olivia came to visit us this weekend.


Matthew is 2 months older than me, so he can do some things I'm not quite strong enough for yet. We had lots of fun playing together!

Matthew's big sister Olivia was a bit camera shy, but Mommy managed to sneak in one picture.
She liked to entertain me by saying, "Boo!"

I found my feet!

I would love to have some of my Daddy's chocolate milk. He is so silly posing me for all these crazy pictures! I am sporting a wonderful onesie!


I started to have this urge to stand up on my feet this week. So my Daddy set up my bouncer in the doorway so I can practice standing and strengthen my little ham hocks. I really like to bounce around. Mommy calls me twinkle toes.


I found my feet this week! One day I even managed to get my big toe in my mouth! It makes a great pacifier. When I am placed on the floor I love to roll over onto my tummy or grab my feet. I also have a rattle I can hold onto pretty good and shake all around.

I still have not been sleeping very good. I wake up at least every 2 to 3 hours to eat. Mommy doesn't understand why!!! She is VERY tired since this has been going on for about 2 weeks now. I am 3 1/2 months old now, so I should be able to sleep much longer. I got up to sleeping about a 6-8 hour stretch without waking, but not anymore! I am just growing so fast. I just take little cat naps during the day. I really fight going down for a nap because I am so curious and don't want to run the risk of missing something. I also have started drooling all over the place. My clothes pretty much stay soaking wet all the time. Oh, being a baby is so much fun!

Today I went to church with Mommy and Daddy. Then they took me to Mellow Mushroom, but I just had to eat my milk. I have kept this Sunday a day of rest. I napped all afternoon. I sleep really good as long as someone holds me, but the second I am put down, my eyes pop right open. I just like to be snuggled.

Our little rookie!

Last Friday, Steven attended his first T-ball game. Steven and Daddy went to watch our buddy Breyton's last game of the season. Steven was dressed for the occasion in his baseball gear; he makes such a cute little ballplayer!

I love my Bumbo!

Steven is quite fond of his Bumbo seat. Now that he can hold his head up steadily, he can sit in the seat independently. It supports his back, and he loves to just sit there and gnaw on his fists and look around. Mommy and Daddy love it too because it frees up our hands at times.
