My Sumter County weekend

Whew...I have been busy. I guess that is the price one pays for being in such high demand.
First, we made an appearance at a book signing for the famous author Jacquelyn Cook - my great-grandmother.



After the book signing and lunch (I don't miss any meals) we visited another of my great-grandmothers. I played with my cousins Walker and Taylor (not pictured).
Walker is 54 weeks older than me. He is my main source of church clothing and a pretty fun guy.



I also crashed a 50-year old's birthday party Saturday night and, of course, went to church on Sunday.
Thankfully, no pictures were taken of the Sunday lunch incident, which we will not talk about.

It is a good thing Mommy and I had Monday off to rest and recuperate.

Pumpkins For Sale

Today we went to the Milledge Avenue Baptist Church (thats our church) pumpkin patch to volunteer. I don't mean to boast, but I'm a good pumpkin seller. It's probably because I looked so cool in my new chucks (thats my Converse for those of you who don't know).

Here's a little something to distract you when you should be working...

Isn't he cute???

Grandma Great

We made the three hour trip down to Americus this past weekend after realizing it had been 3 months since we visited.
There were lots of people to visit, but one of the highlights was Grandma was able to make the trip over from Auburn.

Three squeaks for Grandpa Tom!

 

Happy Birthday Grandpa Tom.
You know, I've been wishing a lot of people "Happy Birthday," when do I get a birthday...?

Swaddling: Cruel and unusual or a parent's salvation?

Despite the objections of some of our 6 readers, we have swaddled Mac since he came home from the hospital. We were told that it seemed mean and torturous.
However, Mac started sleeping through the night by 6 or 7 weeks old and it was hard to argue with those results. After all, "If it ain't broke..."

We knew that we could not swaddle him forever: I mean, they don't make wraps big enough for 10 year olds. Plus, that might make sleep-overs awkward.
So, we have been trying to decide the best way to wean him off of swaddling. Without any great ideas, we pressed onward.

Well, about a week ago, Mac "politely" refused to be swaddled one night. We decided to let him have a chance at freedom and figured we would have to get up in the middle of the night.
Much to our surprise, he slept straight through until morning and has been free from the bondage of swaddling ever since.

Here is a picture of him napping sans swaddle.

Happy Birthday to Papa John!

Today is my Papa John's birthday (we won't mention how old he is today). In honor of him we have some pictures of my first University of Georgia football game.
