This has been such a fun couple of weeks, first of all, we went to Tuscaloosa for the weekend to visit Nana and Papa. Miss Weldon came over to see us and brought us our Christmas presents. She gave George a frog and me Princess Shoes! I love to dress up now and absolutely LOVE to wear heals. Thank you Miss Weldon!
The next morning, we got up with excitement about the BIG day! We started off our day with a good breakfast under our belts and a few books. We were certainly going to need energy for the day we were about to have. What is so special about today, you ask?
For starters, I got my FIRST haircut ever! Daddy gave me some Treat Treats and then they sat me up in the twirly chair. Then I got to wear this cool animal princess cape while this really sweet girl brushed my hair and sprayed it with water. I should have told her that I was really good at spray bottles but I thought that I would just let her do her thing!
Then she got to cutting and cutting and cutting. I think that I got about 1-2 inches cut! My hair had gotten so long that it was looking stringy but now it is even curlier and more full. I did really good and did not cry once. Everyone was so impressed by the way that I acted and I got a piece of gum after it was all over!
George is too leetle to have is hair cut yet so he sat under the dryer with Nana just watching. Everyone thought that he was so cute and loved the way that he would get shy when people would talk to him. I have actually started putting my head on Mama's chest and saying "Harmie get shy too!"
Next it was George's turn to be the center of attention! It was time for his FIRST shoes! I know that he is 10 months but he is Mama's baby! First they measured his foot and he measured a 4 1/2 so we looked for a 5 1/2 shoe.
We decided to go with a Stride Rite High-Top to give him the support that he needs. He has a really chubby foot so we had to get him a wide. I told him that it will take some getting used to but once he is used to wearing them, he will not want to walk around without them. We think that he will be walking in no time.
While George was getting his shoes, I found the most beautiful, clear plastic heal and black patten strap heals that I have ever seen. I immediately put them on all by myself because they also had Velcro...how convenient. Everyone in the store thought that I was adorable and if anyone thought that Nana was going to make me take off my new $11 shoes, they are mistaken! Mama says that they are my play at home shoes and that I can't wear them to school. I can't imagine why!
We also found George some New Balance tennis shoes so that he can fit in at The University. I think that he could pass for a Frat Boy already! He is looking more and more like Daddy, it is just crazy! Daddy is proud of that ;-)
That night, George started having some breathing issues but was better after a good breakfast. We probably should have just gone on home but we thought that he was feeling better. That night, we put him to bed and he woke up about 7:30 and could not get a good breath so Mama and Daddy to him to Children's ED so that they could check him out. While they were there, Mama pulled a Kathryn and tripped over the side table in the waiting area. They admitted her to Children's hospital so that she could get checked. Yes, my 29 year old mother was admitted to Children's ED...how embarrassing! Gretchen and I got to stay with Nana and Papa. He ended up okay but has to take steroid for a few days and Mama was just really sore.
The next day, Mama, Daddy and George all went to Billy's for lunch and then Mama went to go study for her test. He really liked sitting in the highchair and loved the french fries! Mama let him try some of the white sauce but he was not to sure about it.
The following weekend, I had two of my friends over to play for the FIRST time. Lexi and Owen are two of my best friends at school and since it was a dreary day, we thought it would be fun to have them over to play. Miss Amy and Miss Delphine came with them too! It was a great day of eating snacks, drinking juice, going to the potty and playing with all of my toys! George loved to follow us around, which I am used to! Owen will soon be used to it too because he is going to be a big brother in August!! Congratulations Tony, Delphine, Owen and Shak!!
Then Lexie found my princess shoes and since I have 3 pairs now, there was enough to go around. Owen even got in on the action and everyone thought that it was really funny. They plan on bring this photo out during our rehearsal dinner! I was really sad to see my friends go home but now I just get to look forward to next time!
Sunday Mimi and Grandpa came over to eat dinner with us since they had not seen us in a week. We had Baked Ziti, Salad and garlic bread. It was delicious! I was really glad that they came over and gave them a really big greeting!
George loved the ziti too! He ate two helpings and probably would have eaten some more! He is a great eater and usually eats more than I do at dinner. He has started to only want to feed himself which is sometimes a little hard but he is growing up so we have to let him do some things on his own. He also has two more teeth up top for a grand total of 6 teeth!
After dinner, George wanted a little exercise so he cruised around behind his push toy. He has really gotten good and walking behind something. We are looking forward to warm weather so that he can do it in a bigger space like I used to do.
All of that exercise just wore him out so he had a little snuggle time with Grandpa. As you can see, he still loves that thumb. I have tried it myself and I just do not see what the big deal is and would much rather have my passy.
Since Mimi and Grandpa came over for dinner, they got to see me go to sleep for the FIRST time in my big girl bed! I checked it out first and thought that it was so cool that I could climb in and out all by myself. So much for Mama and Daddy carrying me to bed!
Mama and Daddy talked about how it seems just like yesterday that they were moving in my baby crib and assembling it. Like I always say...life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it...or was that Ferris Beuller?

George and Matthew had fun as always crawling all over the house. They had free reign to go where they wanted. George loves the hardwood floors because they are easy to slide on! They took turns taking each other's toys and laughing at each other.
The next day, we all got up for the the big day. George, Matthew and I thought that we would make some sandwiches for everyone. I told the guys that I was the only one that could use the knife because they were too leetle.
I even took some time out to give Uncle Robert some loving. I have really taken to Robert now to the point that when I woke up, he was the first person that I asked for! Mama was shocked! He has decided to grow a beard during hunting season so everyone is hoping that he does not have to ride in a plane anytime soon.
We gave Rob a welding kit to go with his tool cabinet that Nana and Papa gave him for Christmas. Once again, we gave him his favorite gift of all! He had a very happy birthday and I was glad that we were able to come over for it!
When we got home, we decided that it was time for George to start eating big boy food. It was a hard decision for Mama to make because she wants him to stay a baby a little while longer. He Loved his food! He had chicken fries, carrots and fruit! When we tried to give him some baby food afterward, he looked at us like we had lost our minds!
George had a different idea though. He wanted to play the tackle game. He is all boy if you did not already know that! Mama says It is all fun and games until some one gets hurt so she made us settle down and sing some songs.
That afternoon, Mimi and Grandpa came and got us for the night so that Mama and Daddy could go watch the game with some friends. I rode my rocking horse and gave George a tutorial on how to ride safely. He was very attentive.
I am such a great cowgirl and really look cute when I dress the part. I can ride all by myself and really am glad that we got such a great gift for Christmas. Hey, so you know when it is Christmas again because I like this present stuff! Mimi let me stay up late to watch some of the game and she got a little sleepy when we snuggled up on the couch. When Alabama would get the ball, I would nudge her and say "Look Mimi, Rooooollll Tide!!"
George played a little football himself and caught up on the local news before bed. His bedtime is before mine since he is just a baby. He got to sleep in the crib this time and I was in the computer room. Alabama won the National Championship that night and everyone was so proud! ROLL TIDE ROLL!
