Bye, bye August

August has really flown by to me. Maybe it's the 20 puppies and the 2 year old that have made it seem that way or maybe just waiting on the next doctors appointment to hear the babys heartbeat and get to see it on the sonogram. I don't know, but it's almost gone. Steele has really taken an interest in letters and numbers this week. He has found a new favorite show, it's "Super Why" on PBS. We have to record it on DVR because he wants to watch it constantly. He is all day long asking me "Momma, what is it?" pointing to a letter or number on one of his books. He is so funny. If he thinks he knows what it is, he says it and then if you tell him different, he says "Ohhh, ok". He is such a mess.

I am totally excited about this weekend. John Paul and I are headed to Nashville for the PBR Bull Riding. We watch it all the time on TV and have been wanting to go for several years now. We really need a break for just the two of us too. I think it is going to be a great weekend, even though I have to go to the Bass Pro Shop on Saturday. I hope to get some shopping of my own in too. We haven't been away from Steele for more than a day in a while, but I'm sure he will make it better than we will.

Who knows?

This is how I have found Steele numerous times in the last few weeks. He doesn't ask me to get him anything anymore, he just climbs up and gets it himself. This was a cake that I made and it ended up with small finger holes across the entire thing:)

Shout out!

Steele just wanted to give a quick THANK YOU shout out to Mrs. Mary Elizabeth who brought him this sweet Atlanta Braves jersey. She was in town for the furniture market and is one of Gram's sales people who she talks to a lot. It was so very sweet of her to think of Steele and bring him this awesome jersey. He loves it!!

Just a cute pic!

I just thought this was another cute family pic we took today when we were riding on the Kubota. My son is already catching on to deer hunting. I mean I knew it was coming, but I never expected it to be this early on. The other day John Paul said "Come on Steele, let's go take pictures." He meant of the puppies, but Steele's response was "deer camera?". I about fell off the couch. He loves to ride the Kubota and look for deer, but the ride usually ends up like the 2nd picture. Since he was little, all you had to do when he is tired is take him for a ride on the Kubota and he will be konked out before you get back to the house. He really is ready for deer season I think.

Check out Steele's shirt!

As you can tell, he is excited as well as his two aunts. We all are excited that Steele is going to be a big brother. He tells everyone we're having a baby. It is so cute how he says it. We just found out last week and didn't waste any time telling the family. It all happened really fast. I didn't feel good all weekend two weekends ago. Then I went to the doctor and just by chance asked to do a pregnancy test and it was positive. We told JP's family that night at dinner because it was Bub and Deloris's 30th anniversary. I wish I would have caught Clare's reaction on video tape, she almost fell backwards out of her chair when she finally saw his shirt. It was hilarious. Then we told my mom and Aunt Debbie. Then we called close friends and other family and Steele told them over the phone. I told Lindsey to put in on speaker phone Steele had something to tell her and to make sure her mom could hear. She said "Why is Steele gonna do something cute?" She had no idea. I am only about 7 weeks so I will be due at the end of March or beginning of April:)

Night Night Puppies

Here is a video that I have been meaning to post for a while. One day I was sitting at the computer and Steele came in with a stuffed dog. He was humming and I asked him what he was doing. He said puppy go night night. Then he started howling like this. He was singing the puppies night night by howling. He had been watching too much Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmations, I think.

Sharks!

A few weekends ago, we went to visit our cousins in Arkansas and on Saturday we took Steele to the Oklahoma Aquarium. He was so excited and all he could talk about was seeing the sharks. I got a few cute pictures. We had a really good weekend at their house and even picked up a new puppy on the way home. Thanks for letting us stay Kevin and Vicki. He also went to play in the fountain in Tupelo at Fairpark with a friends neice. He absolutely loved it. He didn't want to go home. He has really developed a personality in the last few weeks. I think we are finally getting out of the clingy stage and on to going anywhere and doing anything. He loves to give squeezes and kisses. He is also repeating everything we say so you have to be careful.

He loved feeding the turtles at the aquarium and I love the picture above this where his tongue is sticking out. It is hilarious!

Here are the pictures from playing in the fountain. He always tried to "get it" and put his hand in the water. He also loved running under the arches or through them when they got lower. He and Josie jumped on his bed and had a great time playing in his room. The middle picture is his monkey face which he does all the time. He is going to be goofy just like his daddy.
