Megan's Wedding

Our sweet cousin, Megan, married her equally sweet husband, Scott, Easter weekend in Savannah. Megan was a gorgeous bride and The Coturier's were wonderful hosts. It was a beautiful wedding and a great time was had by all! Possibly the most entertaining part of the night was Kristie catching the bouquet...enough said! Congratulations Megan and Scott!


3 generations!

Savannah

We went to Savannah Easter Weekend for my cousin's wedding. We had a wonderful time with my family, and the boys were very spoiled to say the least! Here are a few pictures of our sight-seeing and evidence of how spoiled rotten Drew and Hemming really were!

Little Buddies

Drew has finally become interested in Hemming now that he is sitting up and scooting around. They play really well together, still working on the "gentle" concept with Drew at times but so far so good! I think they are going to be great little buddies!

Sick Boys

I haven't posted any pictures in quite a while because my poor babies have been sick since we went to Watercolor in mid-March! They have been better for a week or so, but they each had the stomach bug, colds and coughs, very high fevers and 4 ear infections between them! We got rid of ear infection #2 for both of them last week, so it looks like we're on the road to recovery. Hopefully this warm weather will bring us out of hibernation! A couple pictures below of the best part about having sick little ones- t-shirts, diapers, and lots of cuddling!

GREAT Grandmothers!

Hemming and Drew are fortunate enough to have 4 great grandmothers, and oh how they love them! 3 were here for Hemming's Baptism, and have played very important roles in both of our families and upbringings. What amazing role models these precious women are!

Hemming's Baptism

We had such a special weekend celebrating Hemming's Baptism and Andy's early birthday dinner. It was great to spend time with both of our families, we are so appreciative of them being here for this important day in Hemming's little life. Thank you, thank you to The Arnold's and Williamson's for a special day with our favorite people! Our boys are truly blessed to have your love and support!

Hemming and Granny- they share a birthday!

It took 5 people yelling at Drew to get this picture, THANK YOU!

"Spring Break"

These are pictures from our trip to Watercolor. There are several of Hemming but only a few token pictures of Drew, #1 because Drew turns his head immediately when he sees me whip out the camera, and #2 because the poor little guy was sick with a fever and throwing up most of the trip. Add that to rain over half the trip and you'll know whay we don't look like we've seen the sun! We did have a great time being with my parents and seeing our good friends and their little ones. It definitely makes me miss the 3 years we lived down there, hopefully we'll be back soon and our next trip will involve more outdoor activities!

Baby Hemming is 6 months old!

Our sweet boy is growing up so fast! He is 6 months today, and it has flown by! Just trying to hang on to these next few months of "babyhood", it will be gone before we know it! Happy, happy 1/2 birthday little one!

Thank Heaven for Little Boys!

Okay, so I am about to be an obnoxious mother (not the first time!). These pictures of Drew and Hemming hugging each other just make me melt! I can't help but smile when I see them together, being STILL and SWEET to each other, it is very rare that Drew will interact with Hemming so patiently! You can see how Hemming just loves Drew, and wants to touch him and hug on him all the time. Drew on the other hand seems to always be on to something more exciting than tolerating his little brother. I feel a twinge of sympathy for Hemming's plight as the Little Brother, knowing he will spend most of his childhood wanting Drew's attention and looking up to him. That sweet baby smiles every time he lays eyes on Drew, he already knows how special his big brother is! I really do thank heaven for these little boys!

The Williamson and Farrar Boys!

We went to Jackson, MS last weekend to see our good freinds, Katy and Clint Farrar. Between us we had 4 boys in 26 months, so there was a lot of testosterone involved in our visit! This was the first time Drew and Hemming had met Baby Baker- they were so excited to see him and his big brother Anderson! Here are a few pictures from the weekend, as you can see they are the best of freinds!

I think some football games in The Grove are in their future since ALL of their Mommies and Daddies went to Ole Miss!

Poor babies, the little brothers were relegated to the end of the table by themselves at dinner

5 1/2 Months!

Hemming has had a very busy month! He started saying "Da-da" (all day long!), has started rolling over, and has found his feet, which means they are usually in his mouth! It has been so sweet to see him blossom this month and learn so many new "tricks"! He is just a precious angel, smiling and talking all the time! I am more in love with him everyday (as ALL parents are with their little ones!) and we are so enjoying his happy and content personality, he is a BLESSING!

Happy boy!

I love playing with the toys on my Jumperoo!

Trying to sit up on my own, looks like this will be my next "trick"!

Baby Food- Ugggh!

Okay, so I am one of those mom's who does NOT like the baby food stage. In general, I am not a fan of many things "messy" or of things that take a lot of practice. Enter Hemming starting on baby food at the ripe old age of 4 months! He's only in the 25% for weight, so the doctor wanted him to get more calories in his diet. This precious baby can smile through anything, so most of the pictures are of him smiling, but he definitely gags on everything from bananas to pears! I had the total opposite experience with Drew, who gobbled up even the peas and beans! One of the many differences between these 2 boys! Anyway, round #2 of baby food is messier and more time consuming, but those sweet smiles keep coming and make it all worth while!

Here goes...

First bite!

I think it's okay?!?!

Not so much...

Whew- all done!!!

Perfect combination!

Looks like the boys are an equal mix of Andy and I- that's a shocker to me! Exactly 0 people have ever said that Drew looks like me, and 2 people have said Hemming looks like me. The other several hundred opinions have all gone to Andy. Had to post this since it's one of the only times I've gotten any credit for passing my genes along!
