random day

today, auntie b stayed at our house to hang out before heading back to tulsa...we went on a walk, ate lunch, and whenever i needed to run around like a crazy person trying to clean house, wash bottles, do laundry, etc...she held mccoy for me and loved every minute of it. after she left, burt got home and we started cooking dinner...our two pugs were barking like crazy, so mccoy and i went to see what was going on...burt asked what it was, and i said, "oh, just some deer in our yard." this is pretty odd since we live on a busy city road...this fawn looks alittle small but the doe was a good size...we're just wondering where the buck is.
afterwards, we ate dinner separately so that we could trade off holding mccoy due to his fussiness...our immediate reaction is to change his diaper, not because he is or could be dirty, but because he likes his changing pad...so we decided to bring it out to the living room...he has now been calm for 45 minutes and counting...woohoo!

mccoy's 3 months old!

we decided to take our little man for a drive and a trip up to dairy queen for his birthday celebration...as you can see, he totally enjoyed his blizzards ...too bad he didn't want to share. we'll have to see what sweet treats he wants next month!
earlier in the day...auntie b and barry dropped by for a little baby action during the hogs football game...thank goodness they stopped by so at least somebody was laughing in the room due to that awlful game.

gameday weekend

normally, burt and i have a tailgate party at our house for the first home football...we have the food catered and there's a keg and lots of people, especially on our front porch...this year was alittle different...mccoy was definitely the center of attention...it was such a great day
mccoy being entertained...
i love it when he laughs!

this shirt is one that i wore when i was little, so it is a true vintage...my mom made the plaid short-pants with a matching jacket...he looked so cute!

getting hungry with sir...
getting hungrier with auntie b...

aah...there's daddy!

he's already wanting to hold the bottle himself!

the girls

mccoy and his godmother, mandy

our little visitor, liam stinson

mccoy and burt watching the game on tv...we decided not to go and leave this little guy with a babysitter...he would probably be fine with it, but i don't think burt and i are quite yet!

the day after...i think they are alittle worn out!

9.10.2009

mccoy laughed today!

i was reading him "baby bear, baby bear, what do you see?" and he got so excited, he was actually giggling...i tried to get it in these pictures how cute he was.

this outfit was one of my brother's when he was a baby

his mommy is so proud of him!

labor day walk

we headed to gulley park for an early morning walk...
the stroller is just the right size for burt :)

he is definitely all buckled in...i love these outfits with hoods but i'm never quite sure of what to do with the it once he's in the car seat!

go hogs!

on labor day, mccoy's cousins came to visit...burt's sister, mandy, and her family usually come up to the lakehouse to spend some time on the lake...saturday, we went over there to watch the hogs on tv (notice mccoy's appropriate attire)...drew was so excited about holding mccoy...i thought he did a pretty good job.austin...8 and drew...4

date night

almost every friday or saturday night, we try to have date night...of course, now that consists of the three of us and we usually go around 5:30, but we always have a good time...right now, mccoy typically sleeps through the dinner, but we know those days will come to an end sooner than later, so we are trying to take full advantage! this shirt says "mr. mouthy" and at night, he definitely is...mccoy is much more of a morning baby...he plays and laughs and at night, it's the exact opposite. but as burt and i say to each other during these times "he's just a baby!"

my boys

burt is so cute playin with the boys...he fits pretty good under the playyard

titus (on the right) thinks he runs things!

lovin' the playyard

this shirt is so appropriate for his little head...

one day, little man, you will have hair!

hot springs weekend

burt, mccoy and i went down to hot springs for our first road trip. he did really well on the way down and actually slept the whole way back. i don't think he left my mom or dad's arms the whole time. mandy and michael piechocki and josh and traci earnhart went with us
but i can't seem to find any pictures...i guess cause mccoy wasn't in them since we were on the lake or maybe it's because i'm a new mom and we don't need pictures in a bathing suit posted on the internet!

i'm not a big winnie the pooh fan, but i got this outfit for my mom
because she loves him. i have to admit it was pretty cute.

burt and i getting ready to go on the lake,

but mccoy doesn't seem to happy about that!

snoozin away

jason taking care of mccoy before we headed back home.

pj day

this was my last day to stay home with mccoy before i went to work...

so we stayed in our pjs all day long

learning to blow bubbles!
we didn't make it off the couch very far

plum tuckered out...so much for tummy time!

i can do it all by myself...kind of

i love this picture...mccoy at 9 weeks old!we're hoping for a big reader!

dinner party

mccoy and his good friend, liam, went to eat pizza the other week at guido's...you can tell how excited they are...maybe they are just waiting for damngood pies to open up!
