1st Birthday!

WOW! I am SOOO behind.. Oh well better late than never! :) Jett's first birthday was AMAZING! His true birthday 2-2-13 fell on a SATURDAY! What better day to celebrate?! We gave him a huge birthday party that was circus themed.. It was more for me than anyone I think. CAN YOU BELIEVE HE IS ONE!?!?!? IT was a blast, we had a clown named Flutter.. she was a little scary Haha. We also had pony (horse) rides! :O We ate cake and ice cream yummy food and just enjoyed the time with family and friends! Jett loved it. He wouldn't ride the horse unless cousin Olivia was on it with him. He did really well with flutter for a while then she started to creep him out and he didn't want to have anything to do with her after that! lol He liked his cake but didn't love it. By the time we got to cake and presents he was a little overwhelmed and wasn't so sure about it all. All in all his friends showed up and he played and really had an amazing birthday party!

A little unsure at first! haha

Having fun with Olivia. She LOVED it and did NOT want to get off of the horse!

Getting ready to eat cake! :)

The cake.. I don't know how to rotate it.. will work on this.

Going in face first!

This is pretty yummy..

Yeah.. I could get use to eating this way.

Opening presents with momma and daddy!

Just enjoying the ride! 

(I will post more soon! My sister has the rest of the pictures!)

Decorating and Christmas Pictures

If ya'll know me, you know how much I LOVE Christmas time! So it's no surprise my house was decorated the day after Halloween... :) Jett really liked watching me do all of it and watching the glitter and lights. He even "helped" me a little when it came to making wreaths for my  Nana. We also went with Aunt Al and Olivia to take some Santa Claus pictures.. They are PRICELESS! O helped decorate the Christmas tree and she was too much fun! I can't wait for next year when Jett is about that age.. :) My group of friends, Trey, Jessie, Zach and Taylor all go to Motley Tree Farm and actually cut down their Christmas Tree.. I decided this sounded fun so me and Jett tagged along! Not only do you cut down your tree, they have a petting farm and pig races. A shop with fudge and free hot chocolate. It was so much fun! We all decided to start our own new tradition and continue to do this! It was a blast!! And then on to my favorites.. Jessie came over and we had a Christmas photo shoot for our Christmas cards... These are the best pictures I have EVER seen!!! I hope ya'll all enjoy!

Little man "helping"

He was so indifferent with Santa. He didn't get upset but would not smile! haha

Cousin O didn't like Santa AT ALL! Haha This pictures captures all the emotions at the time!

Me and little man in the middle of the tree farm!

All of us with their trees they cut down!!

One of my ALL TIME FAVS from the Christmas Card Shoot

Thanksgiving 2012

The holiday season is my absolute favorite! Now that I have even more of a reason to celebrate (Jetton Hunter) I am even more EXCITED!  Holidays are always so busy... but filled with so much family and fun. This year we went to deer camp in the Middle of No Where... It is actually outside of Shirley... or maybe in it? Not really sure! haha but we road 4-wheelers and Rangers and played outside after eating our big lunch! Jett of course loved it! The kid was born to be outside!! After that we drove back home and had a huge dinner with my dads side of the family! We finally ended up at home.. with the dogs and slept off our food comas and woke up and went and had our last Thanksgiving meal with my Momma!! :) I love all the food and family time!! It is so much fun! Jett did SO WELL and didn't get fussy or anything! :) all together it was a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Haha! I just had to share this one... I have a series of his faces from the beginning to the end! I loved it!

This is the end! He actually realized he LOVED sitting in that pumpkin

My little turkey in his Thanksgiving day outfit!

Sitting on the big rock in Shirley!

The redneck caravan! It was a blast!!

He wouldn't look because there was way to much going on!

10 Months Old!

We are TWO months away from the big FIRST BIRTHDAY! This is CRAZY to me... I honestly don't know where all this time has gone. But on a real note, little man has changed more this month than any other I think! He is definitely moving and is a wild little boy! I am so excited for all the new things happening but at the same time I am sad that he is growing so fast and all those "baby" qualities are slowly disappearing. It is for sure a bittersweet time! Anywho.. on with the Stats!

6 Month Stats-

*He is on an all organic diet

*He still mainly nurses but we are giving him a little more formula

*His johnny jump up and baby einstein play center are his FAVORITES!

*He loves to be outside and in water

*He has rolled over a few times but the Dr. told us he is "lazy" and content to not move around to much so there is no worry.

*Anything that lights up or makes noises (iPhones and Ipads) are the best thing ever to him! (just like his daddy)

*The cat and dogs are a lot of fun to play with and "love on" by that I mean squeezing until he can't squeeze any tighter..... :O

*He is finally recognizing his name!

*When you go to give him a kiss and make the "mmm" noise he opens his mouth and grabs your face.. it is so precious.

*He recently has started reaching for things!

*The drooling is OUT. OF. CONTROL. I think I change his outfit 2 or 3 times a day!

*He scoots.. I don't really now how or when it happens but I swear you look down and he is half way across the room!

*He weighs around 18 lbs. and is around 27" long (will update the exacts after the Dr. appt)

Rolling Over

Yes... Jett finally rolled!!! Of course the only person to see was his aunt Bailey! But we will take it. He rolled on Sunday the 15th and then again today the 17th and I actually got to see it this time!! The only picture I have is an after shot. But it is better than nothing!!

The Cayman Islands

Wow... I am SO behind. SOO sorry!! Anyways.. We went to the Cayman Islands with Matthew's family for Jetton's first trip to the Beach. (I know.. What a place to go!) It was a blast!! This was my second time there and it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Jett was an ANGEL. We left on a Monday morning at 4 am and he just slept. Once at the airport and through security (yuck) we only had a few minutes and we boarded. Jett literally slept the entire time. even through the layover in Atlanta and then the second plane ride!! He is such a sweet baby! We landed around noon, so we had half the day to enjoy! Jett loved the pool, he loves it at home so I wouldn't expect any less. He did good on the beach it was just hot, and he couldn't really see because it was SO bright. He did great during the day and even slept amazingly at night. I told Matthew he did so good, that we should just move there!! I seriously think he napped and slept better there than he does at home! He sat in the sand... and face planted.. :( He didn't love the sand in his face, but he did like sitting in it. He swam in the ocean and pool! He loved both! We went shopping in the downtown area and he enjoyed himself at Margaritaville. :) The trip was wonderful! I wish we could go back more often. The water there is so pretty and it is just peaceful.. mainly because we can't have our phones turned on.. lol

Now on to the PICTURES!

First solid Foods!

Over the last month we have tried rice cereal again and again. We have tried all the little "tricks" to make him like it and it just wasn't working. He didn't really get in to it and eat. So we decided on Monday to try carrots. OH MY GOSH! The kid LOVED IT! He ate and ate and ate. It was like he had been eating solid foods his entire life! He would open his Mouth and actually get mad because I was not going fast enough! :O I was shocked. Since the carrots were going so great, this morning we tried peas. Jett actually gaged himself. I thought it was a fluke so I gave him another bite and he gaged! ... Thinking maybe he wasn't feeling eat "real" foods I gave him one bite of carrots to see... What did he do?? Ate and ate and ate. I do believe we have a little picky eater... Anywho I am so excited we are at this phase. It is fun! His facial expressions while eating are priceless and some of my favorite pictures are of him eating new things! So here are the pictures! And then just some from the past few days!! Enjoy-
