Crawling into the New Year...

We have had a busy past few weeks. Reese has started crawling and sitting up all by herself. She can sit herself up now. All of this just happened this weekend. She has been trying so hard to get the crawling down pat. She goes straight to Travis' cars. (When he sees her he goes and hides them under the rug at the front door.)
Here are all the promised Christmas pictures...

I finally finished ALL of the 2008 scrapbook pages. Yes, I know I am a year behind and a child short, but I am going to do better! Wonderful New Years Resolutions!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to tell everyone Merry Christmas! I know that it has been FOREVER since I have updated the blog. I promise to put up new pictures next week since I will be off work all week long. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!

Hello out there in blog land!

I got in trouble for not updating the blog since August, so here is a few things from the past month! *Note* My bows are lost!!! I think James may have hidden them from me! :( Never fear though I WILL FIND THEM!!!!


Blowing bubbles at a birthday party.


This picture was taken to put in Granny's birthday card in September, but since I tend to forget to send things Mom didn't get it until this past Friday. Hey! At least I remembered to send a card even if it was a whole month late.

Travis playing at the mall in New Bern.

My friend Carla and I did this bulletin board, and I thought it was the coolest!!


We can now hold our bottle! Well with a little help but still this just started tonight! :) We also ate our first baby foods!! Yummy Sweet Potatoes! If I remember correctly this was also Travis' first food, but I would have to drag out the scrapbook to make sure...


These are the outfits Granny and Granddaddy sent us to wear for football season! ROLL TIDE!!!

We went to the aquarium when Travis was about three months old, so we just had to do the same thing with Reese. Travis had so much fun looking at the animals. However, he just pops from one thing to the other which made us get through the whole thing in about 45 minutes. Anyways, here are some pictures from that day about a month ago!

Oops and Yays!

Travis has started taking pictures as you can tell from the picture above. I decided to leave the ones off of his eye and his mouth. They were very interesting. :) Other than that we went to the pool a couple of weeks ago and Travis face planted on the sidewalk again...One day he is going to learn to walk. (He is so clumsy) So the past week our pictures have made him look like rudolph, but the pictures were great besides that one detail.

He is such a good big brother. He loves to help out. I have got him even holding doors open for me so I can carry Reese in. He is getting so big. How time flies!

Reese has finally discovered the toys on her swing. :) She can now play with the spinner on her bear mirror. She absolutely loves playing in her swing now.

We have also started the Pounce and Bounce Daycare. Both Travis and Reese love it!! Travis is learning so much. He has gotten so much better at his colors,numbers, and letters. He has a new friend named Denny. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. They tend to get into trouble a lot when they are together, but its all going to be fine. And Reese really loves watching all of the other kids play. She is very alert for her age. At her two month check up her doctor said she was glad there were a few four month things she wasn't doing.

Long Time No See!!

Hey Strangers! Well it has been a while huh. We went on vacation a couple of weeks ago, so I haven't had time to get on here. There are WAY TO MANY pictures from the vacation to load on here individually. I have decided to just put them into a slide show. Have fun watching!!

Summer Fun

Travis is being such a big brother. Reese started crying and he found her pasifior to give to her. We are not giving it to her except for every now and then, but you can't just tell him not to give it to her when he is just trying to help.

This past week we have done several fun things. We went to the pool. Last time James took Travis to the pool he hated it. James said he wouldn't let go of him. Last Thursday, I took him to a friend's pool, and he absolutely loved it. He swam all around the pool all by himself. I don't know what the difference was, but he loved it. He wanted to spend most of his time in the 5ft end which made me a little nervous. But we all survived.

You can really tell this from the pictures.

We also went to the beach. I didn't take very many pictures, but next time we go to the beach there will be tons of pictures. Travis played in the water and sand with James. James buried him in the sand, and then they buried one of friends in the sand. (James dug the hole and Travis filled it in) Travis got new sand toys and a beach chair. Both kids got new sunglasses. Reese had fun laying in her tent under the umbrella.

As you can tell we had a blast, and Travis was extremely tuckered out. He slept really well that night. This picture was on the way home from the beach.

Our First Bath/ Watching Trains

Reese's cord finally feel off on July 2nd. She loved her first bath. Well she liked everything but when I washed her hair. She didn't like me messing with her head. Travis is the same way. I don't know why they are like that but they are.

Travis has fell in love with trains and cars. We watch the movie Cars at least once a week. He would watch it all day everyday if we let him. We finally bought him some Thomas the Train movies. We started out with one, but I got tired of hearing the same movie everyday. So, now he has two and that is what he watches everyday basically. Eventually we will get him the rest of them since he loves them so much. This is a picture of him laying on his bed watching his TV.

On another note... You can see he is wearing big boy undies. Potty Training has started going very well. If you take him to the bathroom, he will go potty. The only problem is he will not stop playing to go, so we are having to watch the time and remind him to go every now and then.
