5 months old!

Davis is 5 months old today! It's hard to believe that 5 months ago as I am typing this I was on my way to the hospital. I feel like he has been a part of our lives forever. I was talking about having kids the other day and said that I don't know what we waited so long for--these past 5 months have been the most exhausting but most rewarding months of my life! I wake up everyday feeling so blessed to have this little boy in my life. I can never thank GOD enough for giving me Davis as a son--can you tell I am a proud mommy?!
My boys:
Does it get any cuter?:

Davis is now sleeping through the night, eating at least six ounces a feeding, sleeping on his tummy, smiling, giggling, recognizing mom and dad, rolling over, scooting, picking up items and putting them into his mouth and can now take a pacifier placed in his hand and place it perfectly in his mouth. He still LOVES bath time, is not afraid of water and does not even cry when water gets on his face. He has started to show personality--if his favorite frog toy gets out of reach he grunts in frustration! He also "talks" to dad all the way to and from school everyday--dad calls mom from the car so she can hear him! The teachers at Davis' school have informed us that he is a happy baby who loves to sing "Wheels on the Bus." They also told us that Davis is their favorite (duh)! For Davis' five month birthday he is off to watch his Uncle D graduate from college.

Firsts!

Long Post!

The above picture is us last year on mother's day--we were about six weeks along...below is this mother's day....my how a year changes things:

Jason asked me what I wanted to do for my first mother's day--easy! I wanted to spend time with my boys and try Davis on his first bites of rice cereal. He did okay--I think more of the cereal ended up on his shirt than in his mouth. He could not understand the whole spoon concept--he would rather have a bottle, less work!



We enjoyed a going away party for some friends from Sunday School on Saturday night. Davis had a blast hanging out...
For gifts for our moms Davis had the idea to make them artwork, he is so smart. We pulled out the paint and....
"Field of Feet by Davis Parker Knecht"

On Sunday Jason and Davis cooked me breakfast. As you can see Davis was a huge help...

This past month Davis has learned some new tricks! He now rolls over! We knew he was close--then a couple of Sundays ago I set him down on his blanket and walked away. When I walked back he was on his tummy! Jason and I screamed so loud that I really am in shock that he continues to do it! It has become his favorite trick, he now rolls over ALL THE TIME! He loves to sleep on his tummy and typically we will lay him in his crib and can't make it out the door before he has rolled to sleep on his tummy.
He loves his hands and his pacifier (especially the gator one--thanks Aunt Mitzi)...
And we had a great time hanging out with our best buds! Davis and Reed are 3 months apart. We love spending time with the Allison's, I still cannot believe that my best friend from high school has THREE kids :) She is such a great mommy...
At the end of my mother's day weekend I really was exhausted! But I realized that I am the most blessed mommy on the planet! How could I not feel that way when I come home to this everyday:

A couple more pics...

Welcome to the Church!

This was a big weekend for little Davis. He was baptized on Sunday at St. Luke's. Dr. Pace did the baptism and it was a joyous occasion. I have never really thought about being baptized and the importance of it until the pastor was holding my son and asking Jason and I if we would raise him in the church and instill in him the value of being a christian! What a responsibility!

Davis wore the outfit that Jason wore when he was a baby coming home from the hospital. It was a little snug but he looked so cute:

He was so good during the ceremony--never even flinched. He fell asleep in my arms on the way back to our pew!! And he slept that way for the rest of church! A little girl was baptized at the same time--and Dr. Pace took Davis over to her and said "Look, isn't she pretty?!" and he made the comment that he had never gotten to marry two babies who were baptized on the same day but wouldn't that be neat! Anyway, back on topic...here is a picture of my grandmother, mom and I--all 30 years apart (nearly).

It was a great weekend from start to finish. Friday night we celebrated mom's birthday and Saturday the guys played golf while the women shopped. And of course Sunday we celebrated the first of many milestones in our little man's life.

4 Months Old!

The Lovebug is 4 months old! Time flies when you are finally sleeping :) This month we have learned how to sleep through the night--and it has been fabulous! About two weeks ago Davis started going down around 7:30 and sleeping until around 6ish. We are SO happy. He now weighs 14 pounds 13 ounces and 24 1/2 inches long. He is in the 5oth percentile for his weight and head but in the 35th for heighth. This month we are very close to rolling over. He has really started to grab at things and pull them close. He loves to sit in his chair (see fuzzy photo) every morning while we get ready. I know someday I will really miss having him entertain us while we get ready for work. We are looking forward to this weekend--our family comes in town for Davis' baptism. Should be fun!

Happy Easter! He is Risen!

We made the most of our long weekend by working! We worked so hard to get our terrace back in shape along with several other house projects (that's another post). We had a wonderful Easter Sunday with church at Bear Creek and brunch at the club with family. Davis took the obligatory bluebonnet pictures that every Texas kid is required to take. I vote every weekend should be a 3 day weekend! A slight meltdown:
