We had a BLAST at Troy's first birthday party. I will post more later cause I am way too tired right now.

sick little baby...and 1 year pictures...

On Sunday Obed and I took Troy to Talladega to get his picture made by Elana again (she does a great job) even with sick and fussy babies. My sister, Mandy also took her two children so we could have their pictures made together. Here are a few of them...

After we got back home Troy was really ill and fussy. On Monday he started running a high fever and it kept going up all week. It was a tough start to my first week back to work. He has a viral throat infection and Roseola- which makes him look awful. Poor baby. I hope he gets to feeling better soon.

Just a few random photos and cute videos:

Troy decided he no longer likes lemons

Zoo time...

We took Troy to the zoo Saturday since the weather was so pretty, Obed was at a football camp so he didn't get to go with us. It was the second time to the zoo for Troy and he enjoyed it a lot more this time around.

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.
