doctor, doctor.


stetson had his 4 month well-check today.  he now weighs 14 lbs 3 oz (still 50th %) and is 25 7/8" (still 75th %).  he handled his shots really well and hasn't complained since.  he's a tough little guy.  he's turning over all the time, holding his head up well, babbling(with much squealing), laughing, not crying in the car---he'll finally fall asleep in the car without screaming--but mostly looks out the window/sun roof and talks--- and is eating rice cereal regularly.  it's so much fun to feed him his cereal...he opens his mouth wide for a bite...so cute!  he also sucks his thumb with his other fingers over his nose when he's going to sleep. "it's so cute, it makes me want to cut my head off"...that's a quote from his daddy about the thumb-sucking.  he's quite verbal and active and i think i have my work cut out for me when he is mobile....he spends most of his wake time laying on his play gym and kicking.  and kicking.  and kicking.  and talking to all the little animals dangling over him.  he squirms and scoots so much when we put him in his bed (on his tummy) that all of his pj's have pills on the knees.  but he's a really good sleeper...possibly because he wears himself out when he's awake!  we enjoy him so much we can hardly stand ourselves.

bro's.

stetson and jude hung out a little (between naps) while john mark and james were downstairs playing music.  they impressively slept through lee worley playing drums... and lee don't play quiet. 

i bet these two will rock out together when they are older.

taste of my own medicine



so. jacki+stetson headed to vidalia today, and i'm staying home.  i am working here in town this weekend so i couldn't go. this marks the first time my family has left me here at home by myself. i deserve a taste of my own medicine every now and again.  i'll get a real taste too cos' they will be gone until sunday night. that's just like most trips i take. 

 i'm not really used to this. but i will get to play guitar as loud as i want. 

godspeed, minha familia

surveying the prop.




i took stetson out to his backyard today.  he was a little upset that there was no tree house or swing set. but i reminded him that he is only 4 months old and that he should just enjoy his blue bumbo. the rest will come. 

he's on the mend, by the way.

coffee girls.

smiling at me
looking at "aunt" molly
havin' a chat with "aunt" amanda

these are from this morning at "aunt" molly's.  stetson was being super cute after waking up from his nap.  he turned 4 months old over the weekend and something changed because yesterday and today he's staying awake for 2 hours at a time (content) and then going down for naps without fussing.  he has even been content in the car...which is usually not his fave.  it's crazy how they change so fast.  and even though it's only the second day like this, it's been wonderful having him awake a little more where i can actually run errands without feeling like i'm disrupting his nap times.  so precious, that little guy.  can i say it enough?

big boy.







stetson ate rice cereal for the first time tonight...it took him a few minutes to get the hang of it, but he caught on pretty quick.  it was messy but he was happy...as long as i kept that spoon coming!
