First Tooth

Grandmother Gapen is currently in the hospital for radiation treatments for a brain tumor. We surprised her last weekend with a visit from Knox. His big ole grin is sure to make anyone feel better!

He's lived a pretty sheltered life :)

Notice the same expressions

I love my daddy!

See my tooth?!!

Sweet, sweet boys!
Reed and Knox

Knox has been working on some teeth for quite a while now. He finally got his first one last week, and the second one broke through yesterday. Both teeth are on the bottom. Our baby boy is growing up too fast!!

It's so hard to get a picture of his teeth, especially since he usually has his hand, a teething ring, a toy, or his pacifier in his mouth. Last week I tried to get a picture of his solo tooth.

His tongue covered his tooth, but this is the smile that melts our hearts!!

Oh, I forgot to mention his toes.
They're usually in his mouth also.

We went to Great Aunt Peggy's last weekend on the way home from Birmingham to eat with Grandma's family. This was Knox's first time to meet most of them. We had a great time.

Knox enjoys going to the park to watch Daddy play softball. His two best friends at the games are Clark and Jaycee Drew.

Our favorite feature - - those big, fat legs!!

Mower + rock = broken glass

Make the most of each moment. They all pass too soon!

Silly boy!

Family Fun at 23 weeks

Knox is 23 weeks old today. His latest tricks are holding his own bottle, sitting up, and scooting. He's getting better and better at each one every day.

No hands!

Daddy & Knox by the racecar

Grandaddy, Nana, Uncle Jack, and Kirk went to Orlando & we really missed them! We were so excited when they came home. Daddy was racing, so we stopped by to see them.

BIG sugars for Uncle Jack

Nana giving Knox his souvenir

Sunday, we went to Winfield to the Christian family reunion. Knox finally got to meet (almost) everyone in Nana's family, but I regret not taking a lot of pictures.

Knox's cousin Reed stayed with Nana for a few days, so we decided to join in on the fun and visit them. Reed has lots of cool toys!

Reed LOVES fire trucks, so we went to the local fire department to see their trucks up close & personal. "Fireman Mike" as Reed called him, was very sweet to us. We also stopped by to see the helicopter, three tractors, and a dump truck. We had a great time!
