Animals, Amory, and a Boo-Boo

Knox has been a very busy little boy recently, and we've been having tons of fun! We are still enjoying our morning play time, especially in the bouncy seat playing with (and try to talk to) the animals.

I love when he props his fist up like this

Does this bouncy seat make me look fat?

Trying so hard to talk

I believe we're going to have us a thumb-sucker!

Last weekend we went to Amory for Peyton's baseball tournament. This was our first tournament on the road with Knox. Since Daddy is the coach, we not only have to pack the whole house for Knox, but we also have to carry lots of baseball equipment. Let's just say it's a good thing we have an SUV! All that traveling will wear you out. Here's proof:

Knox got his first boo-boo this weekend in Amory, and it was all Mommy's fault! I felt so bad! We were loading up everything in the truck, and I had put Knox's carseat (with him in it) on the ground. Some way, some how - I dropped my keys - - - - on Knox's face. That sweet baby was sound asleep until the keys hit him. He screamed bloody murder, and my heart broke into. I know he'll have many more boo-boos in his lifetime, but I sure wanted his first one to be something HE did - not me!

In some of the pictures, you'll be able to see a little bruise on his forehead. : (

Daddy had to work Sunday, so Knox and I went to Grandaddy & Nana's after church to eat and spend time with some of our family. Knox had so much fun that he slept 8 hours last night! Whoo hoo!

Today is a special day for me. This time two years ago, my sister-in-law, Erin, was pregnant with Reed. I knew before he was born that I would love my nephew, and I wanted to be able to hold him any time I wanted. Because of this, I used Reed as an inspiration to quit smoking. Five days before he was born, I put the smokes down and so far, I haven't turned back. I'm celebrating two years of being smoke-free today!

Knox and I got to spend some time with Reed yesterday after church. Seeing Reed with my own son was worth every nicotine withdrawal, headache, and cranky mood I ever experienced!

Checking each other out

The sweetest kiss I've ever seen!

Knox turned his charm on for Aunt Erin...

Uncle Chris and Knox spent some quality time together, too. It was so sweet watching Knox study Chris!

Whoa! You look like my mommy!

Reed crawled up in his daddy's lap to get in on some of the loving, too. He put Knox's pacifier back in his mouth, drove his car on him, and just touched him. He was very good with Knox!

Tonight while Daddy was feeding Knox, he kept poking his pretty lips out and making funny faces. (You can see his boo boo well in these pictures.)

I'm sooo tired!

He caught his second wind right before he went down for the night. Daddy made a little pallet in the floor, and Knox entertained us for several minutes - as long as the camera wasn't around. I did happen to catch one funny picture:

I'm a mess!
