I'm Five Weeks Old and Growing!
May 19- May 25, 2008
This week it was just me and Mom. Dad was at work, and I had no visitors! Monday I was very cranky. You would be cranky too if your Mom didn't spend every second with you after you were adored all weekend! Plus, my tummy was hurting real bad. Mommy was worn out by the time Daddy got home, and by bedtime, Daddy was worn out too.

Mommy took me walking several times this week. I love it! I get my best sleep while she's walking me. We usually walk about three miles around our subdivision, and there is always someone stopping Mommy to ask about me! Everyone loves me, even if they don't know me!

Mommy loves my nap time. She can get a little bit done around the house without me getting her attention all the time!

I've started to LOVE bath time! I'm going to be a really good swimmer just like my Daddy. Mom says she's going to get me swimming lessons so I don't turn out like her; she didn't learn to swim until she was 7!

Tuesday was Mommy and Daddy's second anniversary. Mommy made Daddy his favorite... chocolate cupcakes (from scratch!) with peanut butter icing, and Daddy took Mom out to dinner at a really nice restaurant. He took us to the Lakeside Tavern which is on Lake Loudon in West Knoxville. It was beautiful and yummy, but very windy!

After we ate dinner, we sat by the lake for a while. It was the best view!

Friday, Grandma and Papaw came to spend the night with me! We had fun visiting, and when Daddy got home Papaw took us out to eat so that Mommy didn't have to cook. We ate at the Gondolier. Mommy bought two deserts to bring home that were out of this world!

Saturday, Papaw and Dad went to an airplane show in Chattanooga, and they didn't take me! Can you believe it!? If they want me to like airplanes they better start bringing me too, instead of leaving me with these girls! (I love you Mom and Grandma... but sometimes you just gotta have guy time.) I had to go shopping with Mom and Grandma instead... Yuck!

Saturday night, Mommy and Daddy took me to Mommy's cousin's wedding: Hailey McCoy. After they got married Mommy says we are now officially family to 65% of our congregation!
My great-great uncle and part of his familyare in our congregation, but that's only part of the family!

At the wedding, I was passed from person to person, and Mommy and Daddy hardly held me for five minutes! They knew that was how it would be though; everyone just loves me! Even the little kids (as Mom calls them... they are giants to me!), got in on the action.

Mommy was glad because she got to take pictures. Her cousin wanted her to be the official photographer, but because Mommy didn't know when I would come she had to turn it down; she still took a lot of photographs for fun though!

This is my (3rd or 4th) cousin. It's my Grandma's first cousin's grand-baby. He's a twin! This was Carson, and his brother's name is Jett. Jett was nice enough to let me use his seat while I took a nap.

Sunday, Nana and Papa B came to visit me! We made a trip to the
Smokey Mountains.

Daddy fly fished. He says he's going to teach me one day... but that I'm not allowed to touch his rod!

Papa B took a nap with me after lunch.

I got to play with a Butterfly at the park too! That was the highlight of my day.

Papa B took some photos of us. He did a great job! After we left the park, we at Mexican food for supper! It was tasty. By the time we made it home, we were all exhausted!

I can't believe the week is already over!
