Napping- and Hanging with Dad on Good Friday!

Daniel has had the last couple of days off, so he got to spend lots of time with our little man. One of their favorite past times- NAPPING!

Hanging with Dad!

Wow, bright blue eyes. Hope they stay that way!

Sleeping on his hand with his mouth wide open. So cute! ( I know-they are not suppose to be on their belly, but I let him sleep there at nap time because he sleeps so soundly and hates sleeping on his back.)

Ahh, I love me some sleep!

Sleeping with Daddy! I wish this picture came out better, but I didn't want to use the flash for fear of waking them up. You can see why he sleeps with his mouth open. Like father, like son!

Saying bye to Mimi and First Hotel Stay

I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for my Mimi. As many of you know, she passed away last Tuesday after a very long battle with congestive heart failure. She was a wonderful lady, who loved the lord, and will be missed very dearly. After coming home from Houston, last Thursday, we then made our first long road trip with Gage to Dallas, to attend Mimi's funeral. Unfortunately, Mimi never got to meet her great grandson but one thing that they have in common is they share the same birthday. Kinda of like the circle of life in a way. We love you Mimi!

On a lighter note, while there, Gage had his first stay in a hotel and his pack and play. We were very fortunate to have a large hotel room (more like an apartment) so we set up Gage's pack and play in the closet of our room. He had no trouble sleeping-hence the pictures.

The next morning-loving on Aunt Carleigh!

More Sip and See pics taken by George Schmidt!!

These are some great pictures that sweet George Schmidt took at Gage's sip and see. I had to add them to the blog because they are so much better than the ones that I took with my little digital camera!

True Texan at Heart!!

Even though our little boy was born in Oklahoma, he is a true Texan at heart. While we were in Houston, I had to have Gage's picture taken in the Bluebonnets. I know this is silly, but ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to take my child's pictures in the bluebonnets. (silly I know) So, while on the way to the Woodlands Mall to have his picture taken with the Easter Bunny (major day of pictures), I found a small patch of bluebonnets on the side of I-45. I definitely got out with traffic zooming by, and my child sound asleep to take pictures in the flowers. It was quite humorous!! Anyway, the pictures turned out kind of cute.

Three Months Old!!

I know I am a little delayed in putting these pics on the blog, but while in Houston I decided I needed to take his three month picture. My mother and I set up a flower pot in front of her garden and decided to use that as the background instead of the same old couch photo. He was super happy that day and very cooperative while his crazy mommy put him in a pot! Happy Three Month Birthday Buddy!!

Champions Golf Club!

Pecan Chicken Salad was calling my name! We had to eat lunch at my favorite place in Houston, Champions Golf Club. This is where Daniel and I got married and where we ate lunch after church growing up. I was very excited to take Gage there because they have beautiful flowers and gardens on the grounds and I thought we might be able to get a few good family pictures.

Being silly during lunch!

The start of the flower pictures. (He looks like he is in a lounge chair. I only had his car seat with a blanket so that would have to do!)

Gigi and Pops with Gage!!

Mommy and Gage!

Family Pic!

Tired out after all the picture taking, so I pumped a bottle so Gigi could feed him!

Family Visits!

As many of you know, we have four families that live in Houston. While there, we made the rounds to all of them. We had a BBQ at Daniel's moms house, and a big family gathering at my Dad's house. We had lots of fun catching up with everyone and showing off our beautiful boy to all the family members who hadn't met him yet, and the grandparents just couldn't get enough of him!!
