So far this summer we have spent our spare time working around the house, hanging out by the pool, working around the house, playing with Davis, working around the house, watching Woody and Buzz (Toy Story), and working some more.  Did yall know that my husband is a slave driver?!? :) But seriously!!  We are having a shower for my cousin, who is having twins next month and he is trying to finish every little project possible.  In other news we have a contract on our old house and it is scheduled to close in the next week or so.  Once that happens then our pool will be up and running and boy are Davis and I excited about that!  I can't wait to have a little extra money to spend at the new house once we no longer have two house payments.  I see me buying some patio furniture at the end of the season for next summer..or just in time for Davis' 2nd birthday by the pool!  Although you can't tell by listening to me and all of our "projects"  we have done tons to the house and it already is our home!  Pictures to come :)

17, 18, 19, and 20 months

 We are still alive and kicking!!!  We have had some interesting months to say the least.  We had a big scare with our wild man toddler.  In April he spiked a high fever and it caused him to have a seizure, which caused his mama to have a mild hear attack.  Really, he knows how to keep me on my toes!  He is into everything!  Climbing, running, jumping, and repeating everything we say, is he how he spends his days.  We moved into a new home this month and he LOVES it, he has lots of hiding places (just listen for the giggles when you call his name and you'll find him), a huge yard and he can't wait for his daddy to fix his "pooool"!!!  We enrolled Davis in swimming lessons and he rocked it!  He was def the star of the class.  Although he didn't really like doing what everyone else was doing.  He just wanted to JUMP MOMMY JUMP :)  He melts my heart!  He is in love with "Woody Buzz" aka Toy Story and watches it numerous times a day.  His favorite toy is still a ball.  He is loving grapes and strawberries right now.
Mommy and Daddy are definitely enjoying this stage you are going through of you "hepping" (helping) and so interested in everything going on around you.  We love you to the moon and back!

14, 15, and 16 months

*Still have pictures to post...

I am so behind on blogging it isn't funny! I mainly go to work, come home and cook and play with our rotten boy. Once he is asleep I clean, catch up on my shows or read other blogs. So, for my memory here are the last three months....

We have been busy going to birthday parties, wedding parties, throw in Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and a trip to Orlando and you have our three months.

Davis is quite the busy fella, into EVERYTHING. You absolutely loves being outside or chasing ROX around the house. That's what you call her anyways. And it's not just Rox it's ROXXX. Lord help me.

You wears 18-24 mth clothes, size 5 double wide shoes and 24mth jammies.

We are bottle free! You went from getting a bottle before bedtime to no ba-ba's!

Your favorite song is "If you're happy and you know it" and your favorite part is "stomp your feet!"

You try your hardest to say the blessing not just when sitting at the table but all the time...when given a cookie or sometimes just when playing with toys. You say ABCDEFG Thank you God for feeding me! AMEN! Although it sounds like ABC blah blah blah AMEN yay!!!! MELT.YOUR.MAMA'S.HEART

You have 11 teeth, or at least we think. We don't like to stick our fingers in there to check.

You eat anything and everything.

List of things you says...

Mama

Daddy (pronounced Dadeee)

Rox (Roxie)

BALL

Grandma

Izzie

Turner

Cole

BALL

No (pronounced noooowa)

Baby

Football

Cocky

Sock
You try to say a lot of other things but we don't always understand them.
Davis, you are such a joy to be around. You definitely know how to light up a room and always manage to get lots of attention with those big brown eyes. Love you to the moon and back!!!

13 months

Wild Man,
You turned 13 months on your first out of state trip. Duke and Grandma took all of us (Mommy, Daddy, you, Uncle Trey, Aunt Mindy, Turner, Cole, Uncle Paul, Aunt Kelley and Nathan) to Pigeon Forge, TN for a long weekend. This was the second year they decided to do this and we were so glad this was your first "road trip". You did not like the car ride there but did much better on the way home. The weather didn't really cooperate for the activities that were planned for Friday but we adjusted. Saturday Mommy, Daddy, Duke, Uncle Trey, Aunt Mindy, Turner, Uncle Paul and Aunt Kelley went to see the gamecocks whoop some TN, Vols while you got to hang out with Cole, Nathan and Grandma. You haven't gotten the hang of Mommy or Grandma holding another baby but love giving him sugar. You def know how to melt our hearts.
This month your vocabulary grew. You love saying HEY! and BYE! and say it just like that. You love to say Arghhhh (scaring people) and love it even more when people scare you. You get so tickled.
You've had an ear infection almost all month long.
You started watching a little bit of tv this month and have fallen to sleep numerous times watching shrek. You try your hardest to watch it though. You are still opening birthday gifts (we decided not to take everything out of the boxes at once) and love your toys but you really like playing with random things that you're not supposed to. One of your favorite toys is a ride on 4wheeler you think it's funny to watch mommy jump when you're standing on it instead of sitting. It get's her every time!
You no longer get bottles during the night and only have one bottle per day before bedtime.
You still love fruit and would eat it for meals if we would let you.
You are going to be a monkey for Halloween so Grandma decided that Izzie (her new dog) should be a banana for the pet contest. She did good because yall won Most Creative. Lil' stinker you.
You love saying the blessing and get all excited when we say make pretty hands... Your blessing is abcdefg thank you God for feeding me, AMEN! and of course you clap at the end.
Davis, Mommy and Daddy couldn't love you more!
(Will add pictures tomorrow, hopefully :)

My cup runs over...

I am so behind. I've missed documenting countless "new things" Davis has done or said over the past few months. Hubs and I are both still loving our new jobs and so happy with the changes we made. I hate that I have been so slack with the blog world.About once a week I play "catch up" on everyone else yet fail to catch up on us. Truth is we are just crazy busy chasing after our silly toddler...yes, I said toddler. He doesn't walk, he runs. We rush through the weeks and the weekends are gone before we can blink. The thing is...I wouldn't trade it for the world. We never imagined the joy our sweet boy would bring.
We've been busy celebrating birthdays, cheering for our Gamecocks, taking wild man on his first out of state trip to TN to see the gamecocks, more birthdays and now the holidays are upon us. While I'm making my shopping list for black friday, picking out Christmas cards, spending time with family and friends I just want to slow down and take it all in. I know that this Christmas will be so much fun as D will be into EVERYTHING but I also know that we will love every minute of it with him.
This year I couldn't be more thankful. (I promise I'll post new pics soon!)

Our Little Gamecock Turns 1!

I know it was a few weeks ago but I wanted to post about Davis' first birthday party. After many months of planning and preparing the day was finally here to celebrate our sweet boy.
