Quick day trip!

So yesterday Matthew, Jett and I Made a quick trip to Jonesboro. This was a REALLY special trip. One because this is where I was born and lived until the 7th grade and two because Jetton got to meet his great great grandmother, Mamoo. She is 93 years old and got moved into hospice this week. She has lived an amazing life. She has 3 children who are all married, she has 8 living grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. That is amazing. You can say she has lived a very full, wonderful life. I was lucky enough that when I was growing up she got to spend a lot of time with us. She lived with my nana and granddad for a long time who happened to live across the street from me! :) Even though she is sick and Jett is so young I know this was a special day. I got a couple pictures, just so I can show Jett when he's older. This day was so amazing.



Jett and Mamoo's Hands.. this will forever be a special picture.


Jett and Dudley! This is Molly's dad- I grew up right down the street from them :)

Beautiful Weather!

Not a whole lot has been going on. However the last few days have been amazing! It is making me SO ready for summer. On Sunday, we decided to take Jetton to the bike trail for his first walk. He loved it. He stretched out in his stroller and just slept! haha- Every once in a while he would take a really deep breath in. I like to think he was enjoying the great weather and just being outside! :) I was holding him the other day after he got done nursing and he just had a onesie on and it hit me, he has grown so much! It is kind of sad how fast babies grow.. But at the same time it is absolutely amazing! I don't really have a lot to talk about, but I do have new pictures!! :):)


Charlie helping me blog :) Yeah, It's not Jett but I thought it was cute!


Little Man LOVES his baths! He relaxes so well and just lets you do whatever!!


Jett's First Limo ride! This was on 3/24/12.. You can tell he is super excited about this.


Walking! :) It was great to get out of the house and enjoy this weather!


Yeah.. I made him pose to with Jett to document his "first walk".. Call me silly one day he will be glad I made him do this lol


Our Handsome boy, sitting and just enjoying the day!


After a long day of sleeping, eating, and playing it was time for bed!! :) Sweet Smiles.

St. Patricks Day

We had SUCH a good St. Patricks day. First off, Jett surprised me with his first real SMILE! It was amazing. I even caught it on camera. The picture is bad.. but at least I got it. We had a fun day hanging out with Olivia and Aunt Allison then Matthew and I got to go to some good friends wedding and Jetton stayed over at Aunt Allison's. The wedding was so much fun and it was a great time to just get out and have some time with just our friends! :) 


Cousin Olivia playing! She is such a cutie!!


His St. Patrick's day outfit! :) 


One of my picture updates from Aunt Al, while she was babysitting.. I love it. Olivia looks like she is saying "What is going on??" haha


What. A. Doll.


I just thought this was funny.. :) He is forsure Superman.


And of course my FAVORITE EVER!! His first smile!! It just looks like his whole face is smiling.

Sorry for such a sort post, but little man is hungry!! Will post again soon!!

Spring Break

Well it is "kinda" our spring break. Since I am no longer in school and Matthew works we can just pretend we have a spring break haha! Well my dad, brother sister and Olivia all went to the lake house along with both of my aunts all my cousins and my grandmother! It was the first time in forever we have all had the same spring break and could actually get together. It also happened to be Teresa's birthday, so we got to celebrate that while all up there!! My dad cooked a great dinner and my sister made an AMAZING dessert. It was SO much fun to get to have a chill day at the lake house with all of the family!! :) I am so sad though, I didn't get a picture of Jett with the birthday girl.. I'll have to get one very SOON!!



Aunt Lisa and Faithe! I cheated this picture was actually taken a couple weeks ago at my dads house, but they both were at the lake too!! :) 




Nap time with daddy! This is SUCH a cute picture.. it melts my heart! 


Getting lots of love and snuggles in from Aunt Karen! This was her first time meeting Jetton.. He LOVED her!

What's Been Going On!

Wow! Sorry it has been SO LONG! :O We have been so busy doing all kinds of different things. Ha.. I forgot to update the last post but at his 1 month check up he weighed 9 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 and 2/3 inches long!!! I was SHOCKED! He is getting huge. He gained 3 lbs and grew over an inch and a half since we left the hospital! That is so crazy to me. He really needs to slow. down. So some things that have happened since the last post- Jett is 6 weeks old! Yikes-- He just outgrew newborn diapers and is in a size one.. I did not think this would make me sad. But the first size one diaper I put on him I almost cried!.. haha Jetton went to his first crawfish boil... Really mom and dad went and just towed him along for the ride :) I think he had fun though. He has smiled a few "social smiles" as the dr. put it. When he is awake and purposefully smiling not just smiling in his dreams. I don't think he has mastered this yet though, because we don't get them often. We went on our first mini road trip. It was completely unexpected.. but ended up just fine. We took him to Little Rock to shop and visit Molly. Well There was a really bad wreck on the interstate that had it backed up for hours.. So instead of sitting on it, we went the back way. We drove through Roland, then Bigelow and finally Conway! It ended up taking a little over an hour to get home. Jett slept the entire time. He has gotten to meet some very special people, his Aunt Lisa, cousins Faithe, Hope and Eden Grace. He also got to meet Molly, one of his many adopted aunts.. Martha and Jerry Thomas, they lived by me and watched me grow up! Oh! Jett can wear most of his 0-3 month clothes and can't wear most of his newborn outfits anymore!! Ok.. Enough for me talking I'll post some pictures now. :):)


I just LOVED this outfit.. He looks like a little man to me. 


His swim "outfit" haha He is ready for the beach this summer! 


Hanging out with Aunt Allison, Uncle Eric and Olivia. I don't think he even knew what was going on.. He just sleeps through most things. 


Oh my Gosh! I find this hysterical.. It is his passport picture. To me it looks like he is thinking "Seriously mom? Why are we doing this??" I had to hold him up and to the side so the man could take his picture- It was interesting to say the least.


Just napping on a rainy Sunday afternoon... :)


Meeting Molly!! He just loved her. He spit up all over her.. twice.. Ha.

One Month Old

Wow... I can not believe it has been a whole month since little man was born. Time is flying. I just want to push a pause button for a little while. He has already grown and changed so much. He is staying awake a lot more now. We go to the Doctor on Monday for his 1 month check up and I will let ya'll know how much he really has grown (weight and length)! For now I'll just let ya know some of the things he likes and doesn't like..

-He really LOVES tummy time. It puts him to sleep almost always but, he still really likes it.
-He absolutely has his nights and days mixed up. This makes it very hard on mommy and daddy.
-He loves to lay on your chest to sleep. It never fails if he is upset (which isn't often) you can sooth him by doing this.
-Mom has gotten the soothing, rocking thing down. 
-Paci's are ok, but my hands are WAY better. (I have caught him more than once literally SUCKING his thumbs.)
-He doesn't like to be swaddled anymore. He likes to be able to move his hands around.
-Bath time is relaxing now and he seems to enjoy it.
-He still is wearing newborn clothes, but in the last couple of days a few of the 0-3 month clothes are starting to kind of fit. (they are the small 0-3 clothes though)
-His eyes and hair have both gotten lighter.
-Loud noises do not scare him
-He sleeps a lot better with lights and noise instead of silence and darkness.
-Millie LOVES me.
-He his a little chubby boy! He eats like crazy.
-The bouncy seat, swing and pretty much any thing else is better than his bassinet. But he really loves the bouncy seat.
-He is cold natured. We keep the house so warm and he stays cool...
-So far he likes his car seat and riding around in the car (this is a good thing because we go constantly! :))
-He is starting to try to hold his head up on his own and move around. He also likes to push off of things with his arms!
-Gripe water is a life safer and Jetton actually LOVES this stuff.
-He has officially peed on mommy, daddy and the wall in his room more than once..


.. One month old- I don't really know how I feel about this! I love that he is growing and changing but at the same time it is kind of sad.


Tummy Time with Millie- I don't know who enjoys this more, Millie or Jetton. Haha


His beautiful eyes- Right now they are a darker blue with a light center... I sort of want them to stay this color..


Snoozing after a long trip to Walmart! He had a busy day with his mommy out on the town! :P We went to lunch with Gigi and then went shopping down town with her and ran into Grandma Diana.. (still trying to figure out her name)  It was SO much fun!
