Mo and Troy playing ball..

Nothing much to write just thought I'd share some pictures of Troy playing with his new favorite toy: a ball...

walkin and talkin

Where has the time gone???

For about the past week Troy has been going around saying a-oh all the time. It is so cute because he puckers up his lips when he says it. He has also said baba which is bottle. So I guess now we have four "words" mama, dadee, a-oh and baba-- but a-oh is the only one he will say on cue.  

He has also been taking 3-5 steps alone, it won't be long before he is walking! 

Fun with family and friends

We had a great week. My mom and grandmother came down to visit on Wednesday and stayed until Sat.  We had a lot of fun, I was glad for Troy to get to see them. On Friday Scott and Kelly came to stay with us for the weekend. Saturday we had a big cookout with family and friends at Gwen's house. It was a lot of fun and Troy got to see so many people! Here are some pictures of Troy with everyone, hope you enjoy!

Oh yeah- Troy had his SIXTH haircut this week- now you can really see his face without all the hair in his eyes! I can't believe he has this much hair and that it grows so fast.

July 4th weekend...

We had a very busy weekend. Obed, Troy and I went to Huntsville on Friday to see Kelly and Scott. On Sat. we went to TN to Kelly's family reunion (Troy stayed in a hotel for the first time). They had a fishing tournament, bluegrass band, horseshoe and Hell tournament. It was a lot of fun even though Troy was really tired and a little fussy. We headed back to Huntsville on Sunday and stayed another night with Scott and Kelly then came back home today.

Sleeping in a different place every night really got to Troy he was up a lot all three nights. But now that we are home he seems back to his regular schedule. He went to sleep at 8 and hasn't gotten up yet (fingers crossed). We had a great weekend and look forward to Scott and Kelly coming to stay with us this weekend!

I noticed that I amnot in a single one of our pictures from this weekend, I need to start letting Obed take pictures as well or Troy is going think I was not around. HA

he liked the fish

I don't think it tasted as good as he thought it would

He found a worm- Obed said Gary bought this one... 
I think he liked it a little

Trip to Talladega

Troy and I went to Talladega to visit my family this week. We had a great time but missed Daddy. Troy got to see MiMi, MacMac, MeeMaw, CaCa, aunt Manny, Pat, Cate and Tanner. He also got to see uncle Kyle, Katie and Rocky for a little bit (because he feel asleep early) It was Mandy's (my sister) birthday also. On Thursday we went to eat a the river with MiMi and MeeMaw. I posted a few pictures below. 

We are headed to Huntsville then to TN for the weekend with Scott and Kelly. We will be back on Monday (which is Mo's birthday) so I am sure I will have lots of pics to post. Happy 4th of July!

Troy liked the banana split...
and the water

10 months....

Troy is ten months old today. I can't believe it. It seems like he was just born a few weeks ago. What did I do before we had him? He has made our lives so great in the short time he has been here. I can't wait to make many more memories with him. 

On a funny note: Yesterday I got up and went into the kitchen to start breakfast for Troy. I heard him in his room playing in the crib. So I took my time and went to get him about 10 minutes later. When I opened his door I thought "gosh it smells in here, he must have done to the bathroom already", then I turned on the light. Oh my gosh- he had taken off his dirty diaper and let me tell you, it was everywhere. All in the crib, on the wall, in his hair and eyebrows,

 all in his blanket... It took me 30 minutes to clean him and another hour to clean the room. Oh it was awful!!!

Here are a few pictures of Evan and Troy playing the other night: sorry about the red eyes.

 

Troy: the first ten months...

I was looking at all of Troy's pictures and thinking how much he has changed over the last ten months! I thought I would post a picture from every month so we could see the change. It was hard picking pictures because I tried to get one from the end of each month so there should be about 3-4 weeks in between each picture. Hope you enjoy!

June- 10 months

May- 9 months (after the 4th haircut I think most of the dark had been cut off)

April- 8 months

March- 7 months

Feb- 6 months (hair started getting lighter about here)

Jan- 5 months--- his first haircut was a few days before this picture

Jan again with wet hair HAHA
