Thanks Aunt Harriet!!

I should have posted this thank you earlier this week but have been so busy with work that I have not had a chance. We want to thank Aunt Harriet (and Uncle David with his getchy finger) for taking care of Mitchell the first two weeks that I went back to work. They definitely made my transition back a very smooth one! I know that since then, Mitchell has missed seeing you two & Josh every day. Thanks again for everything!!

3 Months & Daycare!!!!

Boy, how time flies! I cannot believe that my little munchkin is 3 months old! Mitchell is definitely becoming a little man. He and I have all kinds of conversations everyday after we get home from work & daycare! His first two days at daycare have been good. They say that he has been a little fussy but nothing out of the ordinary with him being the new little one in the room. He has definitely been worn out when I pick him up. I think it's because he is staying so busy checking out all the cute little girls in his room! I haven't seen all of the babies in his class yet-but, I think that there is only one other little boy. So, the girls outnumber the boys 2:1!!

Back to work....

Well, I have officially been back at work for almost 2 weeks. I must say that I have enjoyed the adult interaction! However, I do miss my little munchkin terribly during the day. I am so afraid that I am going to miss out on something he does for the first time now that I am not with him 24/7! Mitchell has been staying with Aunt Harriet these past two weeks and will start daycare on Monday. I have enjoyed the idea of slowly sliding back into things by letting Mitchell stay with family for a couple of weeks before dropping him off at daycare. I will definitely post next week to let you know how the first day of daycare goes for both Mitchell & Mommy!

2 Months Old!!

Sorry that I am a little late in posting Mitchell's 2 month birthday. Things have been a little hectic. Our little chunk weighed in at his 2 month check up at 12.11 lbs. Luckily, he had also grown 2 inches and you can't really tell that he weighs that much!! He is growing up so fast! I have attached pics from his b'day. Clay and I are so blessed to have him in our lives and love him dearly. Happy Belated Birthday Punkin!

DeeDee & Cousin Ava

I'm a little late in posting these pics but I wanted to share them with everyone. DeeDee and cousins Ava and Allison came to visit about a week and a half ago. Cousin Ava was born about 2 weeks ahead of Mitchell and Mitchell has already outgrown her! We really enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to seeing them again real soon.

Small Visitors

We have had a great time with all of the visitors stopping by since we've been home. Hayes, Haley and Bevo were stopped by during the Christmas holidays. I think that in the future Hayes (with the help of Kendall) will have a big time bossing little Mitchell around. We also had sweet Sessions and Kate Scott stop by one day while in town for a Dr. appt. I think Mitchell is going to have his pick of women to choose from when he gets older with all of these little girls! The Vowell clan also came to town on Saturday to visit us. Both John Daniel and Kate wanted to take Mitchell home with them. If I thought that they could get him to sleep at night, I might have gone along with it!

A bunch of "Firsts"

Sorry that I have not posted in a while. It's been quite hectic around here. We are still trying to adapt to parenthood. We have had a time trying to get Mitchell to sleep at night and sleep in his bed. Luckily, I think we are beginning to head in the right direction! Since our last post, we have had many "firsts". We had our first doctor's appointment. We learned that our cute bundle of joy weighed in at 9.2 lbs at his first visit. Mitchell has also had his 2nd doctor's appointment last week (I thought he may be coming down with a cold). I was shocked to learn that he now weighs 11.4 lbs. We have a little chunk on our hands! Mitchell has also taken a bath (which he doesn't seem to like very much), experienced his first visit to Church on Christmas Eve and also visited with Santa.
