Bath times, Laughs, & Football, Football , Football!


Hello again everyone!  Has it been a week already?  Time must fly when you're having fun, b/c I have been having a lot of it lately!  I think I've finally discovered my voice box, b/c I am beginning to LOVE to make sounds - specifically those of the non-crying variety.  Mommy & Daddy [M&D] say I'm starting to develop a real personality from all these new sounds I'm giving off.  I think it is my inchoate laughing that really gets them smiling.  It almost sounds like a Beavis & Butthead-type laugh...one of those "Huh huh. Huh huh huh huh," but with a long "waaaahhhhhhhhhhh" at the end of it (and a big ol' smile).   There's no rhyme or reason for what sets me off to laughter (if that's what you call it)....right now, it's all fun to me!   This week it was my feet.  I mean, I already knew I had arms, but this week M&D decided to start shoving my feet in my face.  It's like I never knew those extremities were down there!  I was mesmerized!!   And then Daddy starting putting them in my mouth  [DADDY NOTE:  I can't believe how flexible little babies are!!!].....I was hooting and hollering - I couldn't give enough of it!  I'm sure next week will be something different, but right now, I am all about looking at my toes-ies!

I've also discovered more changes in store for me.  This week M&D got rid of the baby bath.  Yup, you heard right - I am now taking baths in the big boy tub!  I love, love, LOVE my bath time!  Here's how bath time plays out:  I am swaddled and knocked out, in either Mommy or Daddy's arms.  Next thing I know, I'm getting unswaddled and M&D are looking right up at me.  I begin to whine, then cry, as they undress me - I hate getting undressed!  I'm handed off to Daddy, which makes me cry even louder, but before I know it, he's lowering me into the tub.  My butt hits the soothing, hot water and whatever I was whinging about is instantly forgotten.  Aaaaaaahhhh!  I am in baby heaven.  As I get adjusted, my arms go everywhere; my feet are a-kicking and more often than not, I am looking up at M&D just smiling away!






Of course,  that feeling of being in my own Shangri-La is immediately cut short once I am lifted out of the tub, dried off, and before long, I am back crying again.   Put me back in the bath!

I also got to watch my very first football games this week!  Apparently Daddy calls Saturday and Sunday, "Guy Time" which involves not wanting to be bothered by nagging spouses.   It is a novel concept, if you ask me.  That Daddy - he's so smart!!!!!   Anyway, he said I was ready to finally experience Guy Time 2013!! First we watched Daddy's team LSU sticking it to the Florida Gators.  It was a real bloodbath and that LSU defense was suffocating!!!   After LSU had dispatched Florida with little effort, Daddy rocked me to semi-sleep as we watched Daddy's team Ole Miss (whose T-shirt Daddy put me in to get me psyched for the game!) and their moral victory over Texas A&M.   


What a wild game that was!   I remember Daddy waking me up, cheering over a HUGE pass Ole Miss completed for a touchdown....Daddy going crazy made me smile and laugh.   However, just so happens that Mommy waltzed into the room at the exact same time. 

"What in the he...?!?!  Chris, what do you think you are doing?!!?! Don't you DARE wake up my baby!!!!"  

She gave Daddy the look of death.  Poor Daddy!!!!   She must not have seen that I was already awake and was (kinda) cheering along with Daddy.   Jeez, what a killjoy!  Needless to say,  Guy Time 2013 was just about done for the night....but apparently the same thing happens next week!!   I can't wait!!!

Sunday was Pop's birthday, so Mommy made sure I dressed the part.   I looked all dapper in my bow & tie and was super excited.  True, the pictures don't really convey that image of pure energy & excitement (especially the first one w/ Lolly & Pop!!), but it was there!  We celebrated Pop's birthday w/ Aunt Shannon, Uncle Drew and cousin Anderson (talk about someone who is pure energy & excitement!!!).  I think cousin Anderson is a little jealous b/c he will not let Aunt Shannon hold me!   Whenever he sees her holding me, he throws a tantrum until she has to hand me off to Mommy or Daddy.  I wonder if I will be like that when I'm Anderson's age???? 






That's all for this week!   This week is the last week I will have with Daddy before he goes to Tampa for a whopping THREE weeks for work!!!   What am I going to do without my Daddy??!?!?!     Anyway, see you all next week!
