Praise Report

Recently my sister, Regina, was in an accident with our Ford Explorer. She and the other person involved were not hurt. Our vehicle had more damage to it than the vehicle is worth so the insurance company totaled it. The insurance company told us that we'd probably get such and such amount for it in the settlement. To our surprise the insurance company sent us a check for the total blue book value of the vehicle. If we had tried to sell it ourselves we couldn't have gotten that much cash for it. God is such an awesome provider. Because of the pay off on the vehicle we were able to pay off our hospital bills from when Timmy was born and put what was left over toward paying off other debt. Even though we were out a vehicle God turned it around for our good. Praise God!

Peas

Today we tried peas on Timmy for lunch. Here's his reactions. You'll love these pics.

"Oh Dude this aint bananas!"

"You can have it back."

"I'm really not enjoying this."

"Enough already."

Daddy and his pics

Daddy just had to get pics of Timmy's messy face when I was feeding him several nights ago so I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy!

At Church Tonight

After church tonight Cousin Tristan (Regina's son) decided he wanted to help me with Timmy. Tristan had so much fun pushing the stroller with me. He is such a big boy now. Timmy enjoyed strolling around at church. These two boys are going to have so much fun together when Timmy gets older and can keep up with Tristan. Thanks Aunt Gina for taking and emailing me the picture of these handsome young men.

N.C. State Fair

It's Fair time. Scot and I wanted to take Timmy to the Fair and possibly take him on the carousel but when we watched it going around we decided it was too fast for him this year. He'll enjoy it more next year.

Timmy still had a good time looking at everything though. We took him through a childrens barn that had goats, chickens, roosters and other things. When he heard the rooster crow his eyes got real big. I wish that I had the camera out and got a picture of it. He's going to be hearing the rooster sound a lot. Our neighbor has a rooster that crows all the time.

We decided to take a picture of Timmy and me in front of the carousel. He's looking down in the picture because it was so bright out.

Can I get them both in there?

In the pictures below you will see that Timmy is on his Daddy's lap trying hard to get both his hands in his mouth. It's so much fun to watch him try.

Back to Belly to Back again

Two nights ago as we were getting Timmy ready for his bath he rolled from his back to his belly then to his back again. I couldn't snap the pictures quick enough to get one of him on his belly but he rolled. In the pictures below you will see that he rolled right into his Daddy's lap. It was too cute. Afterward Charlie was sniffing his head. We included a picture of that also.

Yes, that blue line in his diaper that you are seeing means he wet his diaper. It's so cool how easy they make it for you to check a diaper now days. We used to have to just stick our finger in the diaper to check but not anymore. Thank God!

Isn't that patch of hair near his neck line so cute?!

Awww, Daddy and Timmy looking at one another after he rolled into Daddy's arms and Charlie in the background checking everything out.

Charlie sniffing Timmy's head.

We tried Rice Cereal again

We tried rice cereal again yesterday. I took the advice of my mom and sisters and put some banana baby food in with the rice cereal to give it some flavor. He loved it. He kept opening his mouth for more. Here are some pictures of him eating the rice cereal:

The Exersaucer

We put Timmy in the exersaucer for the first time last night. He really enjoyed it. Especially the ones that made noise. It was all so new that he had fun looking at everything and taking it all in. He's not quite long enough to touch the bottom with his feet but when he's able to and can jump around in it he is going to really love it. Here are some pictures of him in the exersaucer:

From Belly to Back

This morning Scot and I got to watch Timmy roll from his belly to his back for the first time. How exciting it was that we both were able to be there to witness that. A lot of the time Scot is already getting ready to go to work and doesn't have time to come back up stairs. I'm glad that he had time to do so this morning. We both got to be a part of a first for Timmy. Here are some pictures that were taken after he rolled over:
