Mom Moment...

I totally had a "mom moment" today.. When I am in the car I am constantly looking in my rear view mirror to see what "bug" (yeah, that's what we call him I don't know how the kid ever learned his real name...) is doing. Anyhoo, this AM I was drive and I looked back there and NO BUG! OH my heart sank for a split moment... only to realize that I has JUST dropped him off at daycare... lol I had myself a good laugh... =)

Mini ME...

Tell me that baby doesn't look like his mama... Here's the proof!

Love that hair!!!

bye bye bottle!

YEPPERS! Athen is OFF the bottle! Has been for a week now. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be... I think that's because I am going to have a BATTLE with getting him off the pacie... I am pretty sure I will wait a while for that one. That's about the only mile stone to comment on thus far... Oh he has a total of 5 teeth with one more coming in up top... The teething thing really hasn't been that bad either, what can I say, I am SO BLESSED with a wonderful child! (pretty sure that's called "divine intervention")

NINE months... (and 10 days)

"Better late than never..."

Athen is NINE months old now... he's check up went wonderful, dr. said that he was "perfect" which we already knew... good to have a medical opinion though. He has THREE teeth up top and still just the two on the bottom... He is pulling up and everything but still can't stand on his own... he can make it from one end of the house to the other in no time! He has learned what "no sir" means and is very good at leaving whatever at the time he is messing with along and moving on to something else. He is such a WONDERFUL baby!

The pictures below are ones nikki took (of course) I tired to put captions under them but was unsuccessful... the one with the shirt with "bud" on it was one I wore when I was little.... my granddaddy's nick name was bud I guess that's why its on there... my grandma saved it (she saves EVERYTHING) so now I have it for Athen...

Oh and the last picture was the end of the photo shoot... haha he was DONE!

ps... Kevin is STILL looking for a job, so if any one knows of anything....
