Mmmm Mmmm Good!

Boo's 5 month photo!

His first "real" food...rice cereal! Yummy!
He actually did really well. It took him a second or two to realize he was supposed to swallow it, but after that, he ate it up!

More yummies!

Back in Razorback Country!

Hello All! Just a quick update today to let you all know we made it safely to our Arkansas home. The drive was good. Boo had one meltdown yesterday and then was starting to get fussy as we neared home today. So, really he was great! He's now napping in the comforts of his own crib.

We had a lot of fun in SC and it was so great to see everyone and for everyone to meet G!! We had a wonderful time, but were pleasantly exhausted by our adventures. We did more in the 3 weeks we were home than we've done in the 5 months G's been alive!

As soon as we unpack and I get pics and videos uploaded on the computer, we'll post some of the highlights.

Happy 5 months to our Lil Boo! Don't worry BeBe, 5 month photos soon to come.

Boo's Baptism

Hello all! I know it's been a while since I've posted on our blog. We've been so busy having tons of fun here in SC, there just hasn't been much time to get on-line. We're heading back to Arkansas tomorrow, so be on the lookout for a ton of pics of our visit when we get home.

I did want to share something most special to us before we got on the road. We had G baptized Sunday in church. We were surrounded by our friends and family and it was a very special day to us all. G did very well until the pastor held him...then he cried a bit. But, all in all it he was a trooper.

It felt great to stand before our home church as a family and dedicate our lives to raising our Boo in such a way that he knows the love that God has for each of us and knows our Savior, Jesus Christ.

An additional blessing on this day was in the water used to baptize G. You see, my bible study teacher in Arkansas recently went on a trip to Israel. At the Jordan River, everyone was getting bottles of water to take home with them. She said she immediately thought of G and his baptism and brought us some of the water from the very river that Jesus himself was baptized in by John the Baptist to use for G's baptism. I was overwhelmed with emotion when she called me to let me know what she had done. Our Boo is so special to so many. He has truly blessed us all with his laughter, huge smiles, and even his cries. We love him so much!!!!

We followed the baptism with a huge family dinner at BeBe and PawPaw's house. Yummy fried chicken, ham and all the fixins'! Again, just so wonderful for us all to be together to celebrate our Lil Boo!! Thank you all!

Here are a few photos from this special day.

We Made It!

Just a quick update today. We made it to SC in great time. Boo was awesome in the car and we arrived on Monday afternoon. We've been visiting with family and friends since we arrived and are having a great time, but we're also tired (me and Boo anyway). He's been very smiley for his fans and is held pretty easily by others, he just wears out quickly.

He's upstairs right now enjoying a little nap in his new sleep sack. We had to get rid of the swaddleme wrap because he kept busting out of it wanting his arms free. We "weaned" him out of being swaddled by alternating swaddling only one arm at night for about 2 weeks. Now, his arms are out and he has a little ya ya (security blankie) that I remove from his face after he falls asleep!!

Anyway, we made it safe and sound and we're happy to be sharing our Boo Bear with his family. I think they're pretty happy too.

I'll post pics and clips when I get a chance. We've done more in the past 5 days than we've done in the past 4 months!! :)
