Happy Birthday Doug and Happy 8 months old Will

First of all I have to give a HUGE shout out to my sweet husband, Doug who turns 32 years old today. Last year he received the best birthday present I could ever give him. On Doug's birthday last year we found out we were having TWINS. We were so thrilled and excited to see what God had in store for us! God has never let us down and we will always be greatful to him for the surprise we got on September 19, 2011. So Happy Birthday, Doug! Will and I wish you many many happy birthdays to come and we love you very much!

So, WOW, what a difference a year makes. Will is 8 months old today! We had a pediatrician appointment today and he weighs 13lbs 12oz and is 24 inches long which puts him in the 50th percentile in height and weight. He was having a good time entertaining Dr Stone today. We have been given the go ahead to start juice in a sippy cup. So I guess we will venture into that fun. He did get some shots today. He will get a RSV shot and flu shot in October. Poor thing!! Overall he is doing very good from being born so early. We thank God for him everyday.

Love my boys today on there special day!!

Will's First Trip to Church

Will took his first trip to church at the first of September. This was actually his 2nd trip but we won't talk about the first trip. He lasted all of 10 minutes so this was his "official" first trip to church where he stayed longer than 10 minutes. He did great! We only went to Sunday School so we didn't make it to big church. Will loved visiting with all of our friends in church who prayed for him daily. Luckily it was around his nap time so he ended up sleeping the rest of the time in Sunday School. We were so happy to take him and enjoy this special day as a family!

All dressed up and ready to go

Our Little Rebel

It's football time and Will has been cheering on the Ole Miss Rebels, from home of course. Mom and Dad have been able to go to every home game thanks to family and friends who have kept him. I have gone a little crazy at the bookstore buying cute Ole Miss outfits for Will to wear when the Rebels play. Next year, Will will be able to join us in the Circle for tailgating and in the stadium to help us cheer on the Rebels! We can't wait for next year! But as far as this year, he will continue to cheer on the Rebels from the comfort of his home! Hotty Toddy!

Go Rebels!

Meeting the Great Grandparents

Will  got to meet his great grandparents and many other family members. He first met my grandmother in Tupelo.

We then made a quick trip to Arkansas to meet the rest of the Penny and Roberts family. Will spent his first night in a hotel room and did fabulous. He did great on the 3 hour car ride. He also entertained all the family in Arkansas and had a blast.
