My first Thanksgiving...

This past week I celebrated my first Thanksgiving. I loved it! 
I started the weekend at Grandma's house. I got to see my cousins and my Aunt Genessa and Uncle Tyler. I slept through the big dinner on Thursday, but that was fine with me. I woke up for the fun stuff: I watched Daddy put Grandma's train set together under the Christmas tree.

I visited Grammy and Papaw the rest of the weekend. We watched some football and I got to see my Great Aunt Owi and my Great Grandma Luttrell. I showed them all how I can roll over. Yes, it is official. I've been rolling over ever regularly since Mom helped me write the blog last week. She tells me I am such a big boy. Click here to see for yourself!

It was a great Thanksgiving. I spent a lot of time relaxing in the arms of loved ones. My Daddy's strong arms are two of my favorites. I want to be like him someday. I am very thankful for Daddy.
Mom dressed Ryker and I alike the other day. Despite her goofy tricks, I am thankful for Mommy. Ryker and I practiced tackling the other day, unbeknownst to me. He is a great big brother. I am so thankful for Ryker!

We decorated our Christmas tree last night. I am really looking forward to my first Christmas! I helped Mom put my ornament on the tree. I like looking at the lights and listening to the music.

Thank you for checking in on me! I hope your Thanksgiving was a good one and that your Christmas season is off to a terrific start! See you next week...

3 Months Old and Baby Dedication

Last week was the big 3 month mark for me. I am growing and changing so much! Mom got some more of my brother's 3-6 month stuff out of the attic, only to find that I am no longer in that size comfortably and have jumped up to mostly 6-9 month sizes. I'm a hoss! I have started grasping things like rattles and even figured out how to make my dangle toys make noises by pulling on them! I am digging my play mat and even rolled over twice on Monday the 15th! Yeah, I'm kind of a big deal around here and certainly way ahead of where Mom and Dad expected me to be. They are not sure about the rolling over thing, as I did it twice in an hour (to their shock and amazement) and then haven't repeated the performance since. I keep trying to tell them it wasn't a fluke and that I just enjoy my back better than tummy time, but who knows if they understand.

My parents dedicated me to the Lord at church last weekend in front of lots of family and friends. My Grandma, Grammy, Papa, Aunt Nessa and cousins, and the Kernodles all came for the event, and of course all my church family was there, too. It was so nice to see everyone. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many people that love and care for me and will help guide me to follow Christ and see me develop my own relationship with Him.


My first Thanksgiving is in just a few days. We made turkey hats to celebrate this week. I just wanted to eat the turkey leg...an indication of what is to come next year around this time, I'm sure. I also helped Mommy make two pumpkin pies. I look forward to getting to do more than just make sure the batter doesn't go anywhere next time.

I am so thankful for my family and friends and for all of you that follow my adventures! Have a great week everyone!

A laughing matter...

This week I started laughing. It's just another example of my changing and growing each day. I am 25 inches tall and I weigh 13 pounds 8.5 ounces. I love standing up on Mommy and Daddy's laps, looking around, and holding my head up on my own.

I went on my first Christmas shopping trip with Mommy, this week. Aunt Genessa and Grandma came down and we drove to the outlet mall and Toys R Us. Wow, that place is great! Toys, toys, toys! I can't wait til I can actually grasp something in my hand so that I can play with all that stuff. I had a really good time with the girls and liked the one-on-one time with Mommy. I was such a good boy; I pretty much just slept and relaxed the whole time we were out. No fussing...I like to shop!

I got to spend some time with Brayden this week. He is so big; he is able to stand up. He is going to teach me so many things. Ryker is teaching me stuff, too. He and I ham it up for mom every day. She can't get enough of this stuff!

I mentioned our family pictures earlier in a post. We got them back this week. Please click on this link to check out some of our favorite shots.

My First Boo!

  My first Halloween was spooktacular! I got lots of treats and no tricks. It started with a very cute card from Great Grandma. Then, I got a great big bucket of goodies from Great Aunt Teresa. Next, I hit trunk or treat dressed as the cutest little football you've ever seen. We stopped by to visit with Mimi and family, and wrapped up our night with the Kernodles. It was such a great weekend! Here are some other pics from the week, including my mastering some head control and playing on my play mat.
