blah!

Why is it so dang hard to get back on track after you've been away from home?!?! I am having the hardest time getting back in the groove.... for about 3 weeks now. The week in between our "Whew" trip... and this trip I think I stayed in vacation mode, cuz I knew we were about to get up and go again... I even left half our stuff packed....

So needless to say... My laundry room looks like it vomited clothes of all sorts... and some of our suitcases are still packed.... and I have a bazillion things in my head I want to blog about... we'll see if that happens.

First up.... my little man snuck it past me that he turned 10 months on the 6th. For some reason, I was pretty convinced that he turned 10 months on the 10th..... must be the whole "10" thing.

Anyways.... my sweet boy is just a pure joy to have in our family. I see it in his eyes that he loves life and wants to get all he can out of it. He is still quite the chunker. Not sure exactly how much he weighs... but I think its safe to say that he is heavier than Payton. Its so strange to have a kid who likes to eat. Usually if I eat in front of the girls, (not that I sit and eat in front of my kids... but you know, every once in awhile it just ends up that we eat at different times) they'll ask for a bite or two... but Stetson will follow me around like a starving puppy dog. Its funny. I have to catch myself and remind myself that he actually wants to eat... he cares, and he's not gonna leave me alone till all food is gone.

He has 2 1/4 teeth. His top right tooth just barely popped through.

Nat makes fun of his 2 bottom teeth cuz they're so long! He says he has buck teeth on the bottom. Mean 'ol daddy. Mama would never make fun of bubba. ;)

Got his first tooth brush!

I think its safe to say that he is a waterbug!!! He LOVES the water. I think if we didn't watch him close enough, he would end up drowning himself. He is completely fearless when it comes to the water.

We got the kids a little pool and a little slip-n- slide and he climbs in and out of the pool, over to the slip n slide. He'll crawl down the slip n slide get'n all wet... go back to the pool. He's pretty funny to watch.

and he holds his ground pretty well when it comes to his "big" sisters.

and the thing about him is he's soooo serious when he is concentrating on this water business. You won't hardly catch him smiling, but you just know that he is having sooo much fun!

Isn't he just so handsome??

...... and

he's a boy. I feel like all the pictures I have of him outside are ones where he's playing in/eating dirt. But... such is life. Little man's gonna find the dirt and he's gonna do his thing with it.

Were pretty much in love with him... and I cannnnnoooootttt believe he'll be 1 in two months. Blech... I can't stand it. All my babies are fixin to grow up on me. Madelynn will be 3 in a month (AHHHHHHH) (3!!!!) Little Payton's fixin to be 2... and of course, my little man will turn the big *1* in 2 months. All within a month of each other!

Lord help me!
