get this far behind on blogging? It's SO easy to do! I've been planning a first birthday party and getting the house ready, helping someone plan a reception in New Orleans, getting ready to help with the Peach Festival, and...well you get the idea! Too much going on!
So last week I had to take him back to the Dr. about his ear and we still have an ear infection. He weighed in at a whopping 26 lbs., and Dr. Stanley said that it was ok to go ahead and start him on whole milk. Well, being that Chris and I have never done this before, we thought that we wouldn't even have to open the new can of formula that we'd just bought....yeah right. At first he didn't like it, especially in his sippy cup. If it's not juice or water...it better not be in that cup! So we started mixing it half and half, and this morning he drank it all with no formula! So if he drinks it again tonight, then I'm not using anymore formula! I can't wait! He's such a big boy now. He's been pulling up on everything, just to let go and stand there. He's doing great. And he's just like his dad when it come to talking....90 to nothing, would talk to a brick wall! There's never a quite moment anymore. He's got "mama and dada" down. I love it. And he is in love with his daddy. I love to pick him up in the evenings and get home to see how he reacts when he sees Chris. And he normally cries when I pick him up from daycare! What a great feeling, I know he loves it there! And every since the time has changed...he's become a night owl! He would be up until 10 or 11! This is so not OK when I like to be in bed by 9:00! I was always just laying down with him to get him to sleep, and just passing out for the rest of the night. Not getting anything done! So, we finally just decided to let him cry it out. It broke my heart the first night and we'd keep checking on him, but he finally went to sleep. And it was the funniest thing to watch on that baby monitor. He would cry, and cry and then all of a sudden he would just fall over, face first and be passed out! And each night after that he cried less and less and would be out! Yay, we were so proud of ourselves! Sorry!!

We recently decided that we were ready to put a cover on part of our deck so that we can get outside and enjoy it without melting and having a heat stroke. So, on Monday Heard Construction came by and got it started. Chris, his dad and Kirk just had to do a few more things to get it finished. Here's our finished product (minus sealing it all).
And here's the poor pond that we started and never got it the way we wanted it, so we're going to pull it up and plant something instead. Check out all of my elephant ears. Oh an I want you to know that we have not watered the first plant in our yard and they are going crazy! Poor tadpoles. 
So if you need any tadpoles....I'll cut you a deal! Have a great week!
