Lent

Today Davis attended his first church service. We met Jason this morning at church for the Ash Wednesday service.
I learned something--did you know that the ashes in biblical times were placed on a persons head who was in mourning? Now, we place the ashes on our forehead because we are in mourning over our sin. The preacher placed the ashes on my forehead and stated "Repent and Spread the Good News!"

I love that. I love reminders from GOD that he sent Christ to die for a screw up like me--so that I can repent and spread the good news. I guess GOD knows that I need constant reminders that I am worth saving.

So what are you giving up for LENT? Last year I gave up shopping--it was tough. This year I am giving up negativity. I know that is a totally broad thing to give up--but I want to focus especially hard the next 4o days on just how much GOD blesses me on a daily basis.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Memaw (now Great-Memaw)

We had an excellent dinner tonight to celebrate Memaw's Birthday! Davis is so excited that Great-Memaw and Great Grandpa Larry are now living in Houston. Now he can just hop in the car and go visit anytime he wants--he is also super excited because I have informed him that Memaw makes the world's BEST fried chicken. And yes, I am sucking up because she reads this blog and I am hoping to get chicken soon :)

2 months old!

I cannot believe my little man is already two months old!! Where is the time going? This month we have had one BIG milestone:

I smile! Here is the tail end of a smile. I was changing his diaper early, early in the morning thinking how tired I was when Davis looked up at me--I started singing to him and he smiled at me! Suddenly I forgot just how tired I was--since then Jason and I have made it our mission in life to make him smile.

Mommy and Davis on Valentine's Day

Dad and Davis taking a nap

Davis' two month birthday was on Valentine's Day. He sported this awesome onesie to show the world who his Valentine is, mommy. Jason had him deliver me a Valentine wearing this--it was too cute. Davis had his two month check up on Friday--Dr. Lange said "He is thriving!" He now weighs almost 11 pounds (he weighed 10 pounds 15 ounces) and was nearly 22 inches long. He is actually pretty small for his age but he has started to outgrow some of his onsies-not in the length but in the tummy. I am pretty sure this is the only time in life when everyone gets excited that you are gaining weight and chubby.

We had a quiet Valentine's weekend as Davis was running his first fever and had a slight cold. So the three of us enjoyed a quiet weekend at home watching the Olympics. Sunday we stayed in our PJs all day--and ate donuts and read the paper in bed. Someday very soon Davis won't enjoy being that lazy but it was the perfect Valentine's day for our family of three. Two weeks ago we ventured to San Antonio...I will post those pictures soon. Davis had a blast on his first road trip and had a ball hanging out with Grammy and Papa. Hopefully, they will come for a visit soon.

Happy Birthday to the love of my life!

Yesterday was Jason's birthday--the big 29! We celebrated by having a golf-themed dinner party. Nana and Papa K were nice enough to watch Davis for the night--so we got a great night's sleep! But, man did we miss our little guy! Here are some pictures of the table:

Golf Themed Cupcakes! Not sure if you can tell but there are golf balls in the bottom of the floral arrangments. My friend Lauren was nice enough to help me find the green themed plates and golf napkins!

Happy Birthday Jason--you deserve it!

My uncles introduced me to Miley....

Hey All!

It's Davis here--bringing you my first dance video. Mom and dad took me to San Marcos a few months back (in mom's tummy). I hung out with Uncle Chris and Uncle Derek. Uncle Chris told me that if I want to get in good with the ladies I need to learn to dance to Miley Cyrus--just like he does. SO thanks Uncle Chris,

Love Davis

Davis!

One Month Old!

Yesterday Davis turned one month old! What a fun/crazy month it has been! We are learning how to operate on little to no sleep. Luckily, Grammy came to visit this week and has been helping out with all the night feedings--it has been so nice to sleep!

Davis loves bath time! He has been known to fall asleep during bath time. His tub has a little net that we set him in and he just sits back and enjoys spa time.

Mommy loving on Davis

One month old picture--he has moments when he is just so wide awake. He will just let us set him down to chill out. He will move his arms and legs constantly. However, if he does not want you to sit him down he will let you know. He is a very, very cuddly baby. Davis loves to sleep on his tummy and would sleep on my chest all day and all night if I would let him. He CONSTANTLY gets the hiccups--it is so cute until its 4 am and he cannot go to sleep because he keeps himself up hiccuping!
