Bath Time

I love to take baths now that I can sit up and play. This is the first time I sat up by myself in my bathtub.

Panama City Beach for July 4th

Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Bird and I went to Panama City Beach on June 30 and stayed the entire week. Sport and Grams came down on Sunday and stayed the rest of the week with us. I had a great time. I sat on the beach under the umbrella (which I only enjoyed in 10 minute intervals), went out to eat at Shuckum's, Captain Anderson's and Angelo's, and saw the boats at the marina. Daddy took pictures of the fireworks on July 4th because I fell asleep and missed them. Daddy left my bear blanket at Shuckum's on Friday when we went to lunch with Sport and Uncle Bird. It took us an extra hour to get home on Saturday because Mommy made Daddy go back to find it.

Mommy, Daddy and I were all sick when we left for the beach on Saturday but felt much better by Sunday afternoon. The ride down was not so bad because I slept most of the eight hours it took to get there, but the ride back wasn't as pleasant. I was ready to get home and my mommy and daddy made me stay in my car seat the whole way. :( They said it was for my own good, but I was very uncomfortable!

My Visit with Eli and Kamdyn

Today my mommy and I went to Angie's house to visit with Eli, Kimberly, and Kamdyn. We had lunch together, played a while, took some pictures, and then I took a nap in Angie's red chair. It was the first time I got to meet Kimberly and Kamdyn. We had a great time and hope to get together again before Angie and Kimberly go back to school in August.

My Walker

My mommy thought it might be a good idea to see what I would do in the walker Sarah gave me. So she got out the walker and put it together. Needless to say, I'm not quite ready for it-I need to be able to sit by myself which I can't do just yet. I did like trying to chew the toy bar. Oh well! I'll try again in a couple of months.

Oconee Point Trip One

Sport, Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, and I all went camping for two weeks at Oconee Point from Tuesday, May 15 thru Tuesday, May 29. Daddy had to go to work each day, but Sport, Grandma, Mommy and I went on boat rides and sat out under the awnings and read and took lots of naps. These are some pictures of the fun times we had.

We went to Friendship United Methodist Church on Sunday, May 27. The church is teeny, tiny-there were only about 25 people there. While we were dressed up we took these pictures.

Mommy and Daddy bought us a camper!

Since mommy and I loved camping with Sport and Grandma so much, Daddy decided we should get a camper of our own. This was our first camping trip. We pulled up to Grandma and Sport's camp site at Springfield around 7pm on Friday night and Boy! Were they surprised!

Mother's Day

On Saturday night before Mother's Day we went out to eat with my daddy's family. I got to meet my Uncle Bo, Aunt Katherine, and my cousin Addie.

Then, on Mother's Day, we went over to Nonna and Papa Murph's new house for dinner after church.

2-Month Check up

I went to the doctor for my two-month check-up on April 30. Dr. Sanders says I look GREAT-my head, neck and legs are very strong for my age. I weighed 11 pounds, 9 ounces and was 23.5 inches long. I got four shots and an oral vaccine. The oral vaccine was yummy and I drank it right up. However, I was not as impressed by the shots and my mommy had to comfort me for a few minutes before we could go home. I ran a low-grade fever and my mommy gave me Tylenol for the next 24 hours, but luckily I didn't have any major reactions.

My First Beach Trip

My mommy and I went to Huntington Beach State Park with Sport and Grandma the week of April 16-22. It was our first overnight camping trip, and we went without daddy because he had to work. The weather was a little cold but we had a great time. Sport, Grandma and mommy ate lots of seafood, and we all walked on the beach. We visited with Larry and Connie (our tailgating friends from Myrtle Beach), and we visitied Aunt Candy in Hartsville, SC on Saturday.

My First Easter

Today was my first Easter. Mommy, Daddy, and I spent the night with Sport and Grandma, went to church, then went back to Sport and Grandma's for Easter dinner. Aunt Amber, Uncle Willis, Uncle Bird, NaNa, Grammy & Grandaddy were all there too.

My Visit With Sallie

Thomas's cousin Ward, his wife Julie, and their little girl Sallie came to visit Warren today. Sallie has grown so much since the last time Thomas and I saw her! She's eating baby food and sitting up on her own now! Warren enjoyed visiting with Sallie and hopes they can get together again really soon.

One Month Check-Up

Warren went for his one month check-up today. He got a great report (as usual). He weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. and was 22 1/2 in. long. Dr. Sanders said he was a strong little boy and she'd see him again at two months when he'll start his immunizations. She said to prepare myself because he will get four shots at the next visit--I hope I can handle it!

My Visit With Jacob, Sydney, and Emma

Last night Thomas's friends Clay and Kim came to cook out with us. They brought their children-Jacob, Sydney, and Emma. These are some pictures we took. The girls were very excited to see Warren and brought him two presents- a wrist rattle and two cute outfits. We all had a great time and hope they will come back to visit us again soon!

Another one of Thomas's friends came over last night, too. Beth was scared to hold Warren at first, but we talked her into it and she did a great job!

Tummy Time

Today I went to Babies R Us and got Warren a Boppy Activity Gym. This is supposed to help him strengthen his head and neck muscles while lying on his tummy. He's gotten pretty good at this just from laying on Thomas and me, but I thought this might give him something to do while I cook dinner, clean, etc. These are some pictures we took of his very first "tummy time" session.

My First Babysitter

I had some errands to run, a haircut, and a facial on Tuesday, March 13, so Aunt "B" offered to keep Warren. They spent most of the day together and Warren had a great time!

Going Camping

Warren's first real outing was on Saturday, March 10. We went to Twin Lakes to visit Sport and Prissy while they were camping. Abby and Scooter met Warren for the first time, but they weren't too sure about how to take it. Abby finally calmed down and left Warren alone, but Scooter kept watch over Warren almost the entire evening while trying to figure out exactly what was in the carrier.

Second Doctor Visit

Warren went back to the doctor for a 2-week check-up on Thursday, March 8. Once again, he got a good report and had gained up to and surpassed his birth weight. He now weighs 7lbs. 4oz.--I guess he's getting PLENTY to eat!!!

First Doctor Visit

Warren's first doctor appointment was on Tuesday, February 27. He had to have his circumcision checked to be sure it was healing properly, and they wanted to check his weight since I am breastfeeding to be sure he was getting plenty to eat. He got a good report and his weight had dropped to 6lbs. 8oz, which they said was normal for the first couple of weeks. This is a picture of him before we left the house for his first "outing."

Uncle Zach

Warren finally got to meet his Uncle Zach today. He wasn't able to visit us in the hospital due to his work schedule. Warren really took to Uncle Zach and slept in his lap all afternoon.

My First Bath

Today, Warren took his first bath. Aunt "B" and mommy worked as quickly as possible but, as you can see from the pictures, Warren was not happy with us. His daddy said he would have no part of the torture we were inflicting. I sure hope he gets used to this soon...

The First Few Days

Thomas and I brought Warren home on Friday, February 23, and the first few days were very hectic. Between feedings every 3 hours and Warren not wanting to sleep in his Pack N Play, we have been very sleep deprived. Thomas actually slept in the recliner holding Warren for the first couple of nights. Luckily we've had some help from my mom and sister and Thomas's mom. I don't know what we would have done without them...

These pics are ones we took when the great-grandparents came to visit on Saturday after we came home from the hospital.


Thomas's grandfather was a pilot in the Army and Warren's room is decorated in airplanes, so Thomas's mom had his grandfather's Army jacket put in a shadowbox to hang in Warren's room.
