Water World

Much to daddy's chagrin, I went swimming for the first time Wednesday night while I was at my godfamily's house in Franklin. I LOVED it! I just sat back in my float and let mommy spin me all around the pool. This is the life for me. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed having Jim, Jessica, and Philip playing with me all the time! Aside from swimming a lot, I took a nice, long napwith my godmother, Jill; and my godfather, Jay, babysat me one night and introduced me to the Atlanta Braves!




Also, I was able to meet my future wife, Elise Kuzniak. She is the six week old daughter of mommy's friend, Lauren. She has really cool toys, doggies, and great parents (so I know I will have good in-laws when we get married). The only problem is she has UGA blood in her veins. When we got to the house, her daddy was actually wearing a UGA T-shirt. It was awkward at first because I was in my Georgia Tech gear, but we were able to move past it pretty quickly.

Leaving On a Jet Plane

Yesterday I rode on an airplane for the very first time. Daddy took mommy and me to the airport very early yesterday morning so we could catch our flight to the ATL. I was so excited that I pooped my pants on the way. Mommy and daddy both said it was better that it happened then rather than on the plane. I'll take their word for it. Mommy says I was a dream baby for the flight because I slept for half of it. It was really fun when I was awake, though. I had brunch, compliments of mommy (who always seems to have a meal ready for me when it is time to eat); and, following in daddy's footsteps, I flirted with the flight attendants for the remainder of the flight. Naturally, I charmed their pants off. Gran and Papa Cecil met us at the airport, and we went to their house for awhile before heading to Chattanooga to spend two nights with Granddaddy. Tomorrow, we head to Nashville to meet my god-family, the Clarkes, before heading to Kentucky to meet up with daddy and all of his side of the family on Friday. And so begins my summer southern tour!

Grandparent Mania

In all my life, I have never seen so many grandparents in the same place at the same time. I was baptized today and ALL of my grandparents came to see it. It was pretty cool, and they did their best to spoil me rotten. Frankly, I am not sure my little butt touched ground the entire weekend, and they brought me so many presents that I don't know what to do with myself. Granddaddy is still here, so I'm looking forward to carrying this spoiling on through midweek when he leaves.

Gran and Papa Cecil arrived Thursday evening. On Friday, we went to Daddy's club to have lunch. It was really nice outside and we saw four deer on the way home. Of course, mommy wanted to play cards, so I played my very first game of spades. As you can see, I really liked it.

Nana and Papa Wayne arrived Friday night after battling rush hour traffic on the beltway. Man, they must really love me because they flew into Baltimore and then drove to Virginia. What a hike! Nana tickled me with my elephant, which I thought was simply hilarious.


Granddaddy completed the party when he arrived on Saturday afternoon. We had a big cookout that night, and the grandparents demanded to watch videos of my baby days. I was asleep, but I hear they enjoyed it.

Sunday morning, everyone came over to the house before heading to church. It was pretty sunny out, so, naturally, I opted for shades.

I was the first of four boys our pastor, John, baptized this morning. I was really digging the water and didn't cry at all. It was fun to be in church with mommy and daddy (not to mention the grandparents). The music was really fascinating. Afterwards, we came back to the house for MORE food and picture pandemonium. I need a weekend to recover from the weekend!
