What we've been up to lately...

We've been pretty busy having lots of fun here in Fayetteville this past weekend. It started out Friday afternoon with a trip to the pool. Boo was very curious at first, but quickly got into it kicking his feet and pumping his arms. It was so nice to get out in the sun! Don't worry, I smothered him with 50 sunblock (even his hair...yuck) and he wore a hat the whole time. What did we get for taking our boy to the pool you ask?? Well, he slept through the night from 9:15 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.! Woohoo! He followed that up with another full nights sleep Saturday night as well. Last night, however, we were back to him waking around 3 a.m. for his middle of the night feeding. But, there's hope....

Saturday morning Boo and I went to the local farmers market in town. We had such a wonderful time. There's something about buying produce grown locally that just makes you feel good. There were all kinds of festivities too, little bands on the street corners, singing groups, and I even saw a magician doing some tricks. I treated myself to some fresh squeezed lemonade, and when I say fresh, I mean they made it right before my eyes. It was so refreshing. I encourage you all to attend your local farmers market. Click here to find one. Once you get on the farmers market website, just click on your state on the left of the screen to find one near you. I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience.

We rounded off the weekend with a surprise for G Boo...an exersaucer. I've been eyeing them in the store, but they're so expensive. So, I looked on craigslist, and found one that a lady was selling. I went yesterday to check it out and, of course, came home with it! It was an experience though at the sellers home. She knew I was coming, yet when I got there, no one was home. They had run to wal-mart "real quick" and were late getting back. Then, she had to dig it out of the garage and forage through boxes to find the instructions and some accessory pieces. After that, off into the house she went to get some more toys that attached to it. Where were the toys?? Under the entertainment center of course! It was also less than spotless. I scrubbed it down good when I got home. I guess my point here, is that if I was selling something...first, I'd be home when I said I was going to be, and I'd have the items all together and CLEAN! But hey, that's just me. :) Anywho...it looks great now and I got it for half of the original price. So, not too shabby! And Boo seems to already be enjoying it. If you're not familiar with craigslist, check it out here. It's kind of like a garage sale online. Again, click on your state and then town and search away!

Here are some pics and videos. I know it's a lot...but we're just so proud of him, we can't stop sharing (my nice way of saying "bragging")!

My farmers market fare!
Banana peppers, blueberries, garlic, squash, cucumbers, and flowers!
Boo, in his new office! (Office is a term picked up from the Halls)

Hmmm...very interesting!

I think I can fix this!


Good morning! (I know it's black, but click on play...)


Playing with Daddy!

One of his new tricks, blowing bubbles.

Still sucking on his papeyer, when it's no longer there. So cute!

Mom, you're so funny!

Love those hammies!

THE END! Thanks for taking the time to view our Boo!

Have a great day!

This posting was wonderful. I wish I had my popcorn and cherry coke ready. It was like being at the movies and G-Boo was the star.
Love, Bebe
