Party Time



This weekend we celebrated my brother's 2nd birthday. Two years seems like forever away for this two month old, but Mom tells me it will be here in a flash. I got to see my Grandma and Grammy and Papaw as well as some of our friends at his party, which was my favorite part. I am sure that if I were able to grasp things in my hands or eat solid foods that I'd have found the presents and sweet treats a lot more enjoyable. There's always next year! For now, I am content just keeping people's hands full, like Grandma, Mr. Vance, and Robert.

His party isn't the only thing that I've been up to. I had lunch with Aunt Mimi and Uncle Tim a couple of weeks ago. Olive Garden is a great place to do some snoozing. I also got some time with my Great Grandma. She was so surprised at how much I had grown in just a few weeks.
 
I also spent some time with my buddy Brayden. He came over one night to play, while his Mommy and Daddy had a date. He and I hung out on the floor, checking out the ceiling for a while. Then I got to see him again when we all went to the apple orchard. It was his first trip, so I showed him all the fun stuff to do. I'm a seasoned veteran, you know.

 
Each day brings more new things. On this particular one, Mommy styled my hair into a mohawk. Ryker and I have so much fun during the day hanging out. He is such a good big brother! Daddy and his boys love catching the football games each weekend.
 
Next week I'll celebrate my first Trunk or Treat! I'm going as a football, so check back soon to see some pictures of me. See you then!

Sleepy boy...

I had my first full night of sleep this past week. I have been sleeping pretty well as it is, averaging about a 6hr stretch between feedings each night. As a special treat for Mommy, I went to bed at 11 and woke up at 8 (well, actually, they woke me up so we could go to church). Who knows how late I'd have snoozed!
I also got to meet my new buddy, Sullivan. Our family went to visit the Spillmans in the hospital after he was born. He seems to have the same favorite hobby that I do: sleeping. Guess we'll get along just fine.
We took advantage of the great weather and headed out to the apple orchard this weekend. I haven't tried an apple yet, but Ryker tells me they are super tasty. I have a lot to look forward to. I can tell you this much, strolling the orchard makes for a great nap!

Believe it or not, I don't sleep every minute of the day. When I'm awake I've started to smile. Awww, Mom and Dad just love it! I showed my smile off to Jared & Gabby, who stopped by to see us and watch some football with us. Gabby had me cooing.

Daddy and his boys supporting the Hoosiers...even though the Buckeyes put a thumping on them.
Ryker and I like to play when I'm not sleeping. He has been helping me learn about things around the house. We've been playing on my activity mat and he remembered how annoying it was to always reach for the toys and never be able to get to them...so he thought he'd bring them down for me. How nice!

I'll see you next week with more pictures and news about my most recent adventures! See you then...
