awe Sweet Valentine's day

Last Tuesday daycare called mommy to come get me because I had a fever. I ended up at the doctor and he said I had an ear infection. I wasn't feeling great at all that day, so I napped with mommy at home. Wednesday I was feeling much better, but couldn't go back to daycare due to the 24 hour fever rule. I went to work with mommy instead. I watched Backyardigans and Veggie Tales while mommy worked.

Wednesday night, the parents had a Valentine's Dinner to go to, so I played with Wade and Jenna during the dinner. When we got home, Mommy posed for a belly picture with Cody at 26 weeks...I didn't want to be left out so I tried to sneak in the picture.

I love outside!

We had another pretty day Saturday, so the parents and I loaded up and headed to the football practice field. We took my 4-wheeler along for this trip. I rode some:

Then I took a drink break:

Then I thought it would be fun to push instead of ride:

Then Sunday, the parents took me to River Heritage Park before it got crowded. There was only 1 other person there...Charley. I told her I would be the train conductor and she could ride:

Here I am driving:

Then I showed her around...here is where the bad people on the train went...to JAIL!

Then there was a section of MY train where people can get a good view while traveling:

When the train stops, it takes you to a fun playground that has monkey bars and slides. Here is me as a monkey:

Then I was showing Charley how to climb up the slide:

and finally I slid down the slide to go home for a nap!

After my nap, the parents and I loaded up and went back to the football field. There, I got to kick a soccer ball and ride the 4-wheeler some more and run and run and run. Then we walked over and watched some of the baseball game. Whew! I was a tired little boy!

Taste of Spring!

Sunday was such a pretty day! The parents convinced me to take an early nap so we could go to the park and play. Daddy pulled me in my wagon while mommy walked Chance.

Chance got a little tired, so I told him to get in and ride with me.

We stopped under the gazebo to look at the birds in the pond...or my pronunciation is "buwd". I pointed at them to make sure mommy and daddy saw them!



After riding around in the wagon, we went to the playground where I got to swing, ride a frog and be the captain to the ship!



After the park we went home to get ready for the Super Bowl! Mr. Steadman and the Arringtons came over to watch it with us. They brought some yummy food including some boneless "hot" wings, which I really enjoyed!

Here are some fun facts about me now at 17 months old:
I have 16 teeth
I sleep from 8:15pm till 7:30am
I'm a really good dancer
I love to play chase and hide and seek.
Some of my favorite words are: melmo (Elmo), Uh-Oh, "Beau", Ball, cheese, thank you, NO! moon, mama, and TOUCH DOWN (along with throwing my hands in the air for the touchdown sign)
I can count to 3, but only mommy and daddy understand it.
I know what a cow, duck, pig, dog and bee say...but I only tell you when I feel like it, not when you ask.
My most favorite sound right now is: "Choo-choo" along with doing my arm for the choo-choo motion
I love to clap my hands and stomp my feet to the "happy if you know it" song
and of course I love doing the pat-a-cake song and playing peek-a-boo.

There are plenty more fun facts about me right now, but this gives you and idea for now!!

New Crib!

After a long week without seeing daddy, the parents came together Friday to pick me up from school. They had some good news! They told me we were moving into a house at the end of February. Check out our new house:

and look at my new big backyard Chance, Cody and I will get to play in!

Here are more pictures: HOUSE
The parents said you are all invited to the moving party!

Saturday the parents and I hung out because Daddy was leaving again on Sunday to go recruit till Thursday. This is his 3rd week in a row to be gone and we miss him! Mommy and I played ALL DAY Sunday...I didn't even take a nap! I got her to blow up my Diego ball pit and we played in it forever. Check out my cool hairdo from the static.

Christmas Vacation at the Beach!

Wow what a long fun Christmas vacation! It started on the 24th when mommy and daddy were both off work and we all got to spend time together. They gave me this wagon that day and boy did I LOVE it! Especially when they took Chance and me riding in it.

The next morning was Christmas Day and Santa had been to visit and left me some goodies! He gave me a bunch of little toys and then a 4 wheeler as well! I'm still learning how to ride it. I can't figure out how to make it continuously go. The parents keep telling me to hold down the button, but I think it's funny to push and let go and let it jerk me back.


After playing with my toys for a bit that morning, the parents, Chance and I packed up and hit the road. We drove down to Valdosta, GA Christmas day and stayed at Grandy and JuJu's house. They weren't there at that time because they were in Greenville, but we stayed anyways to break up our long trip to Jacksonville,FL. I was such a good boy in the car...I watched the Backyardigans and Veggie Tales over and over. The parents sing the songs to me now even without the video showing! Guess they heard it all enough.

So that Friday, we drove over to Jacksonville. This is where I got to meet MawMaw Willis for the first time. We went over to her house and played for a while. Pawpaw, Nanaw, Uncle Allen, Aunt MaryBeth and Austin were all there as well. I even got to take my 3rd 4 generation picture. Here's Mawmaw Willis with Pawpaw, Daddy and Me!

The next day, we all went to the zoo. I saw a few animals I was interested in, but the best part was being pushed around in the stroller, riding on mommy and daddy's shoulders and walking around waving at people.















After the zoo, the parents and I went back to the hotel and rested for a bit. I was supposed to take a nap, but I was too excited about getting to walk out on the beach that I couldn't go to sleep. So we walked down to the beach and I thought it was sooooo much fun! I walked and walked and walked, then found some water puddles to splash in. I walked so far at one time, the parents didn't know if they were going to be able to catch me...I laughed and started running when I saw them coming. They finally caught me and took me down closer to the water...it was fun until a big wave came crashing up and knocked me over. I got soaked! So they had to take my shirt off to dry. While I was drying, daddy and I found some chairs to sit in. My chair was just the perfect size!






Sunday we got up and headed back to Valdosta to stay...Grandy and JuJu were on their way there too! That night I got to open more presents! I opened them all by myself. There was a big bow on one present...I liked it better on my head. Then instead of playing will all my new toys, I seemed to be more interested in the shoes we got JuJu...they were fun to walk in.



Monday, mommy was sick, so we just hung around the house in Valdosta. Daddy and JuJu entertained me and blew up my new Diego ball pit to play in. I thought it was fun...especially when I made it fall on its side.

For New Years we went over to the Cannon's. There I got to play with Wade, Jenna, Grant and Ava. We all played chase some, which is my new favorite game. While we were there, Daddy found out who his new boss is...Terry Bowden. We went to the press conference the next day to meet him. I decided I wanted to walk up and down the hall and be loud during the press conference, so mommy found a room in the building with a piano. I entertained mommy while daddy was at the conference.

Well I hope you enjoyed hearing about my Christmas Vacation. Click the link if you want to see all the pictures. MORE PICTURES

Christmas in Amory

Sunday, the parents and I loaded up and drove to Amory for Christmas with daddy's family. Before we left, mommy had to take pictures of me in front of our tree with all the presents.

In Amory, I received some goodies!! Aunt Martha and her family got me a laugh and learn puppy, Nanaw and Pawpaw got me a push toy lawn mower, Aunt MaryBeth, Uncle Allen and Cousin Austin got me a word learning toy shaped as an apple, and Mawmaw English gave me some money!!! I love them all!!



While we were there, we decided to take some MORE pictures.

This is me with Aunt Martha's candle that we got her...I had a hard time parting with it.
Cousin Austin and I got to play some and I still wouldn't let go of the candle.
The parents and I managed to get a family picture.
Here is Nanaw with her kids and spouses and their kids. Notice I'm still hanging onto the candle. Here is Mawmaw English with her 4 grandchildren.

Here is everyone except mommy (she's taking the picture) and Pawpaw...he had to work. I wasn't happy to be taking this picture because I wanted to go outside.
Another fun suprise...mommy and daddy were telling everyone how much I love to sit by myself and rock in the recliner, so they were wanting to get me a rocking chair of my own. Well Aunt Martha and Uncle Bill gave me this red rocker that was either Leigh or William's when they were little. I LOVE it!! Thank you to the Jurney family for the rocker and for having us over for the Christmas gathering!! The parents and I enjoyed it!

Also, while we were there, we got to talking about what to name my little brother. Well, I think we all agreed that his name will be Cody! Now we need help from all our friends and family with a middle name. The parents said they had everyone give their input with my name and really appreciated it and thought it was fun. Now they want to do the same with Cody. Some choices for a middle name they have thought of include: Lewis, Thomas, James & Christopher. These are all family names. We'll take any other suggestions for names as well. Thanks for your help! and if you can't figure out how to comment on my blog, then email mommy: beaus22@yahoo.com

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
