A Feast!!! And some other stuff too.

First off, the other stuff.  This cutie loves his Daddy! :)
Baby drool always grosses me out...yes, even if it's my own son's drool.  I deal with it, but I could do without it.  Fo sho.
He's a growin'!
This past Thursday was Lyla's preschool's Thanksgiving Feast!  They sang songs, we ate a feast, and just had fun!  So thankful I was able to go.  These are the really fun moments of being  a parent.  Lyla's class were Indians! 
My little Indian.  She's a cute little squaw.
 Pumpkins, Indians, and Pilgrims!  Oh my!  It's Thanksgiving time!
Our feast and Lyla's mean grill.
Each of the kids in Ly's class had Indian names.  Ly's teacher said they googled them.  One little boy's was "Lost White Brother".  I almost peed myself.
Ly and some of her sweet best friends, Jubilee and Katelyn.
I cannot even begin to tell you how thankful I am for Ly's school and for the sweet friendships she's making.  She loves going to school everyday...and these girls are definitely a part of the reason why!
Ly's classmates each made turkeys with their families for homework one day.  We were told to be creative and use anything.  Well, I think they all turned out so cute!  Here's Ly posing with them.  :)
And lastly, just another pic of my sweet girl.  For Thanksgiving this year, I am  no doubt thankful for her and her little brother. :)
I really doubt that I'll post again before Thanksgiving, so everyone have a fun, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving!!!!

Fun Weekend and Max is 3 Months Old!

 It was craft show weekend at our church!  Always so much fun!  I love festivals and craft shows and such.  :)  Little Miss got her face painted....which she loves to have done! 
Also, Baby Max is 3 months old (tomorrow).  He is such a growing boy!!!!  I have no idea how much he weighs exactly as his next doctor's appointment is in December, but I can just tell he's getting bigger and bigger.  He smiles often and we've even got a couple semi-giggles out of him.  They are not full-on giggles yet, but they're a start. :)  He's eating 5-6ozs every 3-4 hours.  He sleeps pretty descent through the night in his crib.  He will wake up, but once we put the paci back in he'll go back to bed.  Or we'll just put him in the Rock N Play next to the bed and he'll go back to sleep.  Rhett and I are a great team.  We'll take turns getting up to give him his paci, etc.  I married a sweet, sweet man.  That's for sure.  Let's see, Max is getting better control of his hands.  In fact, sometimes when I'm feeding him he'll reach up and grab my face.  I'm not sure if it's on purpose or not, but man is it sweet.  He loves his Mommy.  It's true what they say that little boys love their mommies.  I could just eat him up.  He's a good tempered baby who really hardly fusses, but when he does fuss....it's on!  Lordy, that boy has some pipes.  Max's big sister is a huge help!  She entertains him alot and he smiles at her almost every time he sees her.  She gets pacis, diapers, blankets, etc. for us when we ask.  She loves having a baby brother.  :)  Hmm, also Max loves to play on his play mat.  He'll hang there for a good 30 minutes to an hour.  We're still working on tummy-time.  He's still not much of a fan.  :)  Anywho, here are some pics of my sweet boy.  



I never really knew for sure how I would like being a "boy mom".  I'm not very outdoorsy and I don't know a heck of a lot about sports (other than football because my world practically revolves around it).  But these past few months with Max have shown me that I was meant to be a "boy mom" or more importantly, his mom.  I am so thankful every single day to be his Mommy.  I cannot WAIT to watch him play tee-ball and to see his Daddy coach him in football.
 These three are my world.  I cannot even imagine life without them.
