5 months old!!

I cannot believe that 5 months ago, today, I was giving birth to Mitchell! Boy, how time flies! He has grown so much in 5 months and is really starting to move around. He is rolling over and has just found his toes and feet. He loves to squeal when talking to you and he has the sweetest smile that will make you melt! Can't you already tell I'm going to be a sucker when he trys to get himself out of trouble? Just tonight, he acts like he finally gets solids (he is now actually swallowing them). I know I say this all the time, but Clay and I truly are blessed to have him in our lives & we love him dearly! Happy 5 month birthday Mitchell!!

Rolling Over!!

Mitchell made his first "roll over" last night! Mom got so excited that I think it frightened him. He looked at me like "what in the heck just happened". I am so proud of him but sad that he is growing up so fast. I have lots of other pics to post (and will do that as soon as I can get to my computer at home)..but, this one will have to do for now. He loves to play on his excersaucer!

Hoppy Easter!

I also wanted to post the pic of Mitchell and the Easter bunny. However, I cannot locate the picture in my house. We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday!

4 month check up

We took Mitchell to his 4 month check up yesterday and this is what we discovered:

Weight 14.12 lbs 50th percentile
Height 25 1/2 inches 75th percentile
HC 42 cm 50th percentile

Oh, and our pediatrician gave us the green light to start solids. This was Mitchell's reaction.......

Weekend at GG's & Pop Pete's

The weekend before last, Clay headed off to Bristol for the races. So, Mitchell and I decided to take our very first road trip together (by ourselves) down to the Delta. My mom and Pete just finished moving into their new house, so we figured we would check it out and visit Clarksdale since Mitchell has yet to make it there. Well, I must say, I don't think we will be "roadtripping" it alone again anytime soon. Mitchell screamed from about Tunica to Clarksdale (even with a stop off at Uncle James' in Lula). It made me a nervous wreck because it was dark and I could not pull over. Aside from that one little thing, we had the best time down in MS. The McCarras and Abrahams decided to travel to the Delta too! This is the first time we have all been together since having the little ones. We christened mom's house by having a cookout with everyone. As you can tell we had a great time and will have to do it again very soon!

My 1st night away from Mitchell

This weekend marked the 1st time I've been away overnight from my little munchkin. Let me tell you, it was more difficult that I thought it would be! Clay and I flew to Vegas to check things out and we left little bit at home with Granna. I enjoyed my sleep over the weekend, BUT I missed the little booger terribly. When we finally got home on Sunday, Mitchell had more hair and was talking more! It's amazing how much they grow in such a short period of time!

As everyone was leaving brunch....

I noticed that Clay and Mitchell had disappeared. This is what I found-the two of them engrossed in the final minutes of the SEC Basketball Championship Game......
