Just a peek at our week

Boo was in desperate need of a haircut with his bangs dangling in his eyes and his hair flaring out over the top of his ears. Neither B or I thought he'd make it through sitting in a barber's chair. So, we decided to do it ourselves. Our plan...to busy his hands with food while Dad cut away (Mom was too afraid). Boo was well occupied by the food, but would occasionally wonder what was going on! Here are a couple of pics.

Next up, a video. Boo got a couple of toys that have balls that go along with them. Well, one morning we were playing with the balls and every time I would throw them up in the air and let them fall to the ground, he would just laugh hysterically. He thought it was the funniest thing in the whole wide world, ever!

And last, but not least...
Our Boo just stood up at his car and started walking across the den! I almost cried (please forgive me high pitched voice)! I'm not sure he enjoyed it either as you'll see in this 3rd attempt of his to make tracks. Sniff! Sniff! My baby is growing up so fast!

10 months!

Lil Boo is now 10 months old! Can you believe it? We can't. He's grown so much and continues to show off new tricks almost daily. He stood alone for 18 seconds yesterday (yes, I counted) and is cruising all around the coffee table. He's starting to wave, but only when I raise his arm. And, we think he's starting to sign *more* when we ask him if he wants more. There is some confusion, though, because it also looks like he's clapping. But, we think he's saying *more*. Happy 10 months buddy! We've all come a long way!

Here's a special shout out to a dear friend of mine dating back to elementary school. April and John welcomed their first child into the world this morning! She weighed in at 8lbs 15.5 ounces and is 20 inches long. Her name is Harper Jane. Congratulations!

Happy New Year and Goooo Tigers!

Happy New Year to you all! We hope that your 2009 is your best year so far! It will be hard to top 2008 with the arrival of our Lil Boo. We're so blessed with a beautiful, happy, healthy baby boy! Thank you God!


For those of you who don't know...Clemson is playing Nebraska in the Gator Bowl today! Now, the only other time these 2 teams have played each other was in the 1981 Orange Bowl National Championship game! The TIGERS WON and thus were the National Champs in '81!

We're pulling hard for a repeat performance and are doing all we can here in Fayetteville. We're all decked out in Clemson attire (Murray and Sandy too)! Go Tigers!

Boo practicing The Tiger Rag with his new present from Santa!

Look at him cruise!!

Christmas Review

Here are some photos of our Christmas vacay to SC! We all had a wonderful time.

Here are some videos too...

Talking to Paw Paw.
This was soooo cute. They talked for at least 10 minutes saying the same thing over and over..."ah-da".

Rodeo Boo!
Boo's Aunt P crocheted him this adorable cowboy hat (boots too) and here he is riding PawPaw bull.

Boo enjoying some of his gifts at Granny and Grandpa's house.
He also learned to clap in SC!

We're Alive

Hi All!
It's been a long time since I've been able to blog. We've been so busy in SC and BeBe's computer is just about the S-L-O-W-E-S-T thing I've ever used (sorry BeBe...but you know it's true!). I just couldn't find the time to blog or even check email regularly.

But, we're back in Fayetteville now and are in the process of unpacking...

We had a great time in SC and Boo's first Christmas was perfect. I'd also like to report that my Dad is doing really well.

I'll try to get some photos up soon of all of our fun.

I'm just sorry that we weren't able to visit everyone while we were home.

Hugs to you all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
